    On the other hand nice that Jayden can sing the song today

    This is the only reason I’m still watching this. But I expect I’ll have to endure the start of Bounce in order to see it.

    I would like to know what their strategy is to stay viable.

    More money from the AFL just like GWS and GCS etc.

    AFL never makes hard decisions just like politicians. Too much backlash

    If it was still Hardwick and not Ooze this would be more enjoyable

    After todays results its hard not seeing North finishing bottom 2 again. I'm starting to feel sorry for them as we know the feeling of constantly losing year on year.

    That’s why Hardwick got ‘tired’ of coaching and left to not be smeared with these type of losses

    It's tough and if it was us I would have been screaming and now I'd be broken. But you're right. 1 or 2 too many teams in Victoria for long term.

    And bringing in a Tassie team kills their Tassie connection, and their sponsorship including the AFLW opportunity.

    I would like to know what their strategy is to stay viable.

    North’s Survival hinged on James Brayshaw having a Grand Solution, where is it? Absolutely non existent,

    now we have 3 sides (possibly 4), who all need top end talent. You can’t give assistance to 1 Club & not the others. 
    we won’t have 19 Clubs for long, there will be a 20th, so the AFL has created a major problem, that I don’t think it saw coming 

    I don’t know the answer, but North staying in Melbourne has really given them a headache

    GWS and GCS make sense as money pits though. They serve a purpose to grow the game in regions where they need extra media exposure. Being a two team town creates a local rivalry which makes the competition feel legitimate too (ie not a Vic comp with a single local presence).

    Pumping money into North doesn't serve that purpose at the moment, and North must realise it isnt a viable long term solution.

    Banking on the AFL being too weak to make a real decision is a short term solution based on current management,they must know things could change in an instant.

    Getting back to yesterday's results, I see that Carlton fans were visibly rocked by that close loss.

    A moral win by Port as they don’t have Maynard.

    Ugh the cheek. 
    Welcome to our world, Vossy

    While he can’t publicly bag the review system or the umpires, Voss is clearly spewing about the Owies (deemed touched) goal in the third quarter…

    You didn’t have the benefit of seeing what happened, huh Vossy. Well, try having the benefit of seeing what happened and still getting stiffed. That’s so much worse. Everyone behind the goals at last year’s semi had the benefit of seeing what happened when Caleb Marchbank didn’t touch the ball. Hurts when the shoe’s on the other foot, doesn’t it?!

    Been away all weekend so catching up on some Kayo Bites. 

    What a win that was from Adelaide! Very very impressive and good on them for not giving up.

    North should head to Canberra. Along with adjacent areas of Southern NSW (traditional Australian Rules Football territory) it has a population base possibly larger than Tasmania. Playing a few Northern Territory games could also be an idea.

    GWS playing some matches in Canberra just dilutes the push into Western Sydney IMO.

    He could need more roughage

    Perhaps Metamucil?

    As bad as Hawks & Tigers are, they have HUGE injury lists so there is no way to accurately assess them. 

    And as bad as the Roos are, I'm not getting sucked in at all. They are doing exactly what Clarkson did at the Hawks in his first 2 years and with his track record the club will just wear all the carp. The current difficulty is, they don't have a Buddy Franklin and they need 2 large backmen.

    North should move to play at Geelong. With the population growth happening to the West of Melbourne, Geelong, and Surf Coast it makes a lot of sense, and also…

    It would really annoy Geelong, and that’s always a good thing.

    In that universe,  how funny would it be if the Govt mandated that they share Kardinia Park 50:50 with the Cats due to the significant taxpayer funds thst have gone into its development. 🤣

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
