To be fair, the bathwater back then was likely rife with Tuberculosis and other nasties. 

In 1901 you can add in bubonic plague which first appeared in (I know you guessed it) the suburb of Collingwood.

Wow.... you can now place kick the ball while being tackled and not be pinged!?????

And not one commentator remarked on it. A clear free to the Saints that resulted in a crucial Geelong goal. Just dreadful umpiring.

Saints have lost their last 12 matches at Geelong’s home ground.

Glad we finally got passed over to play down there this year.

Did the filth?

Probably not .

as if the filth would go down there

edit: last three times the puddy tatts hosted the filth was in 1999, then 95, and before that 91

richmond are furious that they've been scheduled down there this year for the first time in seven years

before that they'd not been there for half a decade before that

it's only the minnow melbourne clubs - us, footscray, aints, north - who get shunted down the highway on a regular basis

Yep. In reality it's really another interstate game.

I still can’t believe we had to play them down there last year after they won the 22 premiership and we’d won the 21 premiership. A potential blockbuster game player at a stadium under construction. Tells you everything you need to know about those who run the AFL

and to not have to go there this year we had to accept a pretty crummy fixture of short breaks between games

the worst thing that happened to our club was being perennially poor on field during the dawn of the tv era

Edited by whatwhat say what
fixture, not draw

 

The 'draw' and the Geelong factor both are corruptions of our game.  The AFL doesn't provide a fair competition, just one to maximise $ (except in the bewildering case mentioned by Kickit to P).  You might think the betting companies would want a fair competition, but you'd be fooling yourself, since they can make money any old way.

Come on it's Collingwood surely. Even if it wasn't Collingwood before last year it has to be them now.

We've also been cruelled by our home ground being the game's major stadium. Little coincidence that the MCG becoming home to powerful tenant clubs from Richmond in '65ish coincided with our protracted drought. This means we have no home base, and the most negligible home ground advantage in the league.

Danger officially joined the thugs club yesterday. The two other players who are in the club are Cox and Maynard.

We can thank Kate for not going down there this year.

No, you don't have to.   You're making a decision to do so.

ucanchoose not to listen.  Try the mute button.


Huge experience and size difference between West Coast and Port, but West Coast having a red hot crack. They are going to get badly beaten but not by lack of effort or method. 

Does anyone give Freo a chance tonight?

they’re the last leg of my multi and not sure whether to cash out or not. Lions missing Neale and a couple others

Port with 28 inside 50s and 19 scoring shots. 

WC defence doing super

Port should be up by 60pts

Why haven't we seen the footage of the ball hitting the camera from the camera's perspective?


dumb footy Freo. you can't be gifting goals to the Lions like that.

 

Zac Bailey has played 120 games? Feels like he’s only been around a few years

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
