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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
