Toby Pink giving us a clear demonstration of the yawning gap between the SANFL and the AFL. He'll need a month of counselling if he stays on McKay all day.

No they haven’t.

Its not a free when the back man touches his opponents side and the forward  holds his hand in.

It’s also not a free kick when the forward just throws one arm behind him and the umpire imagines it is being held.

Soft as butter some of their frees giving charity goals.  

when the backman holds onto the arm and stops the forward going at the contest it should be a free

every time

Some North players have to be on 200k+ more a year than they’d get at another club, just to meet their salary cap requirements.

Them and the Eagles are an example of where the minimum salary cap doesn’t work.

we were in the same position too in the post-daniher, pre-goodwin era

players being paid on potential not performance


It's not always the frees they pay, it's the ones they don't, Cripps constantly throws the ball, two handed

Norf should have a got a couple of holding the ball frees in Q1. Nothing to see ... play on !!

Be interesting to see if the surface of the ground contributed to Jones's injury, ive seen a few puffs of sand coming up

 

North can't take a trick. They're playing Coldplay after every goal the score. 

GO ROOS!!! 


Hopefully Benny Brown gets some of these soft frees tomorrow

Agree. Surely their fans have suffered enough

turning this off. don't want to witness Carlton dishing out a 100-point drubbing.

Clubs should be able to bank some of the money to help attract free agents. We’ve gotten so creative with points systems, we should allow some leeway.

Agree, but that wasn’t what I described to you on two particular incidents.

Commentators agreed btw, not that that proves anything.

Was going to say the same. What a soul-crushing time that was.

Ooooooof course that's the outcome. Hey parents everywhere, the AFL condone players thumping opponents in the solar plexus unawares and off the ball. Keep that in mind when supporting your kids into a sport.

Correct. And sometimes he shrugs it out. Never penalised.

IMO the umpires appear intent on punishing North for being rubbish by rewarding Carlton every half-free kick they can find.

Low impact for the Pendlebury strike, seriously?

It was medium at the very least, as he floored Neale with it………..oh but wait, medium impact would mean suspension

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
