6 fifty-metre penalties now against North. At this point they should just go for the record.

Six of Carlton’s goals were a result of free kicks in their forward 50. Another two goals from 50m penalties (two of a total of six 50m penalties). That’s EIGHT goals. 

Well, the battle to be our end of 2025 free agent ruck recruit remains interesting;

Xerri; 13 disposals at 84%, 32 hitouts, 8 tackles, 10 clearances, but only 24 metres gained.

De Konig; 13 disposals at 84%, 31 hitous, 5 tackles, 4 clearances, 1 goal assist, 6 score involvements

At this stage I'd give it to Xerri given that a lot of the difference can be attributed to a ruck free kick differential of 8 in De Konig's favour, and as a Melbourne player he would not get that kind of service.

 

I tipped the lions with great confidence.

Scrap that, they are a rabble.

Basically been surviving on their 52 win eight losses at the Gabba ratio.

Now they can't even win there.

Cameron is a gun but their other two big names up fwd are very inconsistent.

It’s why the AFL for me has become unbearable to watch. If the Dees weren’t in it, I would’ve (and just about have) given it away years ago. It has become so business driven, and what is best for that business to succeed, that the football aspect has been neglected for some time now.

Grass roots local footy is so much purer and more enjoyable to witness. Go and get yourself a team to follow outside of the national/state leagues. It is way more fun to watch and be a part of. You feel like you’re part of a real community.

Exactly right

The Blues look VG but don't face anyone serious until Rnd 6 vs GWS.

Even then that's at home at Marvel.

The following week they play the Cats... but get another out.   Not having to go to Taxpayer Park (again) and instead playing at a neutral venue (the G)

Since 1990 the Blues have only played at Taxpayer Park 6 times.

When looking at teams that have played the least number of games there, the Blues are ranked 3rd.

Just behind the Bombers (5).

With our old lovelies the Maggotpies sitting in the No.1 spot.

The last time the Maggotpies played there was during the last millennium... 1999 

It must be Ugly Jumper Round

Saints didn’t get the memo in time. Next week’s abomination…

I watched the 3rd qtr and the Carlton biased umpiring was a disgrace.
And Larkey was stiff with that 50.
Umpire should've reversed it again when Weitering come in to make a hero out of himself starting a another squabble including multiple other players.
But no.

Adelaide’s is horrendous. 


Healey after a basketball touch to the arm...

"The free was definitely there"

Time for a new pair of binoculars?

4 umpires yet players are still alowed to run over the actual mark and set their own mark.

They must be seeing it but just keep yelling "Stand"

Yet another jokefest on display from the AFL

Where does “crom” come from? 

Apparently a social media typo meant to say crow

Enough. The Crows v Freo game is almost unwatchable. All the run and grunt between two half back lines, with atrocius forward play and atrocious kicking. My adult kids home for easter are watching the Physical 100 - a Korean reality show based on physical challenges. Not my normal go-to, but the footy today has been so deplorable, I am giving it a go. 

Is it possible for a great game of footy with pressure, good skills, and attacking flair?

That’s more of a reason to feel for their fans

Their Fans wanted to stay in Melbourne, but there’s not enough of them. 
James Brayshaw told them he would fix everything, still waiting to see what he had planned 


Wow the Crows are as bad as we used to be with their entries inside 50 and conversion

Having said that they just kicked their first in a while.

The goal ump called that "touched a behind" !!!?  WTF it was more than a foot over

did the ump soft call a behind. defender was nowhere near it. clearly a goal

 

Tex moving like the WALKERing dead

  • 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.
