Saints have done well to snag a goal just before half time. I so wish we could have done the same.

    Good response from the saints. It was looking like it was going to be a rout so fair play to them for getting back into this game

    Nearly messed it up with another silly advantage call.

    Umpires getting involved, haven't seen all the replays to confirm those Free Kicks were legit.

    Usually they say on AFL site subbed out with injury if concussed. 

    Doesn't say anything. But he was clearly unbalanced and his feet were buckling as he went off.

    Would have to be concussed you would think, but it's Carlton.

    He looked genuinely out of it when the team was singing the song in the rooms too.

    We definitely need a couple of elite kicks in our list, they can make the difference by getting goals from almost impossible angles and distances.

    Giants make our skill level look very ordinary.

    Hogan and Bedford would be handy right about now for us.

    How didn't the footy department see that Bedford was the more superior small forward than Chandler?

    We did not want him to go. He asked to be traded. Was out of our hands.

    GWS are quick, they’d expose us badly on the outside. I reckon they’d smash us. 

    We wont meet them unless they get to the Grand final.

    Because there wasn't many opportunities presented to him last year.

    We offered him a three year contract.

    Popped into the footy. It's nice just being a neutral observer. 

    Also the difference to our game. Both forward lines have open space

    And Toby just nutts another one.

    Bedford ugh.  Still can't believe we let him go and went with Laurie. 

    No offence to to the young fella but they are chalk and cheese in terms of speed & finish.

    Even slightly ahead of Chandler imv and will probably jump ahead in coming years.

    GWS will be a difficult opponent for port or lions. And they don’t seem to mind playing at away grounds. Tough on the inside, great spread, solid defensively and some real method going inside f50. They’re a well coached team and can’t be taken for granted

    What is it with all the Bedford revisionism in this thread. He did not show this kind of form when playing for us. And he had chances to do so.

    Love your work WCW but I'm sorry to inform you the quality of the crepe paper used in each team's banner does not portent the future.

    Love your work too, Chook. Firstly, the Swans - like most other clubs - use plastic and not crepe paper; secondly, the problem wasn’t the construction of the backing, it was that the sleeve (the cylindrical vinyl attachment through which the pole is inserted) had split in two; thirdly, and most importantly, I wasn’t being serious anyways. 😁

    can’t remember many people complaining when we let him go

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
