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

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
