Living in Brisbane for years made the Lions my second team in some ways.

After the last couple of years, I really can't stand them.

This is like the AFL equivalent of Trump vs Biden.

    As bad as it is seeing Carlton, Collingwood win, they beat up top 4 contenders which evens the ledger. I reckon the top 8 and even top 10 is gonna be super close this year. Lots of teams winning 4-5 in a row and also losing 2-3 in a row. I reckon 3 games max separating 1st and 8th.

    Then it will come down to whichever team plays the best finals football. We have really struggled in past years, I reckon Carlton and Brisbane will go very deep. Everyone talks about GWS, they haven't done anything yet.

    We have looked very good this year but our games vs Geelong and Carlton will tell us everything.

    Hawkins though… argued his point for ages and the umpire humoured him. Spewing… I was hoping to see a 150-metre penalty.

    So far the results of this round have gone 100% according to the proportion of insufferable jerks who will tell you all about it on monday.

    So, cue up West Coast, Sydney, Geelong and Hawthorn.

    But the Blues overcoming their throwback 6-goal-againsr run and doing it in style is a bit of a story. Not much doubt in my mind that they're the main threat to our 2024 premiership. Aside from, you know, ourselves.

    Reckon Greene was fine until the last second when he turned his shoulder to bump.

    He should've curled up into a wrecking ball and ironed Durdin out.  He would then get off...   #AFLfootyAct

    I reckon the next bloke in this position just  needs to pit his knee up to protect himself and put the opponent into a 6 month coma.
     

    The AFL will then come to its senses and tell players not to put themselves into stupid positions where they are vulnerable - leading with head, going back with the flight etc. If they do then it’s at their own risk. All players need to look out for their safety.

    This is a real opportunity to fool the public into believing that the MRO and tribunal are NOT corrupt outcome driven team biased  (dis)organizations. 
    Will they baulk?  
    Kozzie would get 4-6 for that without a doubt. Its not as if Toby gets the “ never been suspended despite multiple fines” Cameron discount, though he will probably get the GW$ needs a flag discount

    So the GWS player kicks it to Greene. If there was ever anything as football rights, that was Greenes and Durdin had no right.

    So the fact that Durdin goes for it and puts himself at risk, Greene is supposed to pull out? Not protect himself?

    It’s like driving into a round about intersection and some scumbag speeds up from the left intersecting lane and enters the round about just as you do and you end up hitting that vehicle.  Technically and by the rule of law you are at fault, but everyone knows it’s BS.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • 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?
