Yes, there used to be one in the office next to mine. But only one.

Guessing he was a nerdy social outcast at your place of employment.

    Why even bother with goal umpires anymore if they are too scared to make a decision. Save the wages of them and spend it on better goal line technology.

    The frequency of score reviews in this quarter is ridiculous. It flies in the face of the AFL’s desire for fast, free-flowing footy. It definitely is for advertising Crypto.com, otherwise they’d send the ball back to the middle and review it in that 30 seconds, which is what they do anyways (review every goal).

    Has anyone here ever met someone that follows North Melbourne?

    I once dated a North supporter, and had an [censored] of a boss who was also one, so can confirm at least two exist.

    My problem with Derm and other special commentators of a certain type is that they spend the whole game telling you what the players "should have done" or "were trying to do" instead of what's actually happening. They're trying to be coaches when they should be analysts.

    That's being an analyst in football, he can be hard to listen to at times and I understand why people don't like listening to him but he is mostly right in his comments.

    North determined not to let pick 1 slip from their grasp this year.

    Connor Macdonald is exactly the type of youngster MFC needs. Running midfielder.  Good goalkicker.  Still developing but has the making of a quality mid. 20 possessions to half time is a good day out.  That 2021 draft was a super draft.  Excellent top 40 !!!

    This will give the lions a sniff. Green had to go. Hogan. Mmm not so sure.

    Hope the giants smash them and go close to burying the lions season

    Wish we had a forward like Larkey. Competitive.  Goalkicker.   Strong mark.  Limited opportunities in the Kangas team but would be a star in a top team.

    I cannot stand him. He says every single comment like it’s the most profound thing you’re ever gonna hear. In his mind, every time he draws breath to make a comment he’s the Dalai Lama and we’re his devoted adherents. 

    That sounds like David King.

    If it was during the 70’s or early 80’s it probably was.   The Demons were terrible.

    • 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.
