I called it early, umpires very quick to blow the whistle for a Port free kick.

    Anyone give North a chance? I’ve tipped the Crows but taken North each way in a few multis.

    Not me. Not even at the +30 points line.

    One of my Golden rules of footy betting is don't gamble on really rubbish teams. You can't trust em.

    And the roos are truly woeful.

    If I was forced to have a bet in that match I'd back the under the total match score of 179.5.

    Nope. Zero chance.

    I'm trying to understand why Carlton v Geelong is in the graveyard slot of 4.30pm and Freo v Dogs is prime Saturday night?

    Was that the Darcy Byrne-Jones one? First replay ball looked well out, second replay behind the goals showed it was in. Confusing.

    was on the hf boundary, top rhs of screen last qtr

    not sure what you mean by "behind the goals"

    Dropped Kayo F & T. Maybe shouldn't have but there's always a few problems with it.

    trying to understand afl match scheduling is a good way to damage your mental health

    but generally speaking it's either  money or mates

    Yeah that’s the one. Sorry, meant they showed another replay from the camera behind the nearest goals and the ball looked in from that vision.

    Each week in addition to my other bets I do 8 x 9 game multis at $5 each (every AFL game, all head to head) By doing 8 bets can take 3 games each way. This week I’ve taken 

    Cats v Blues

    Freo v Dogs

    North v Crows 

    all each way. If all  / the majority of favourites get up it doesn’t pay much but if a few of the long shots get up it can pay quite nicely.

    The Roos are unwatchable. Simple skills - tackles, spoils, defensive spread, 30m passes - all simply sub VFL standard. The Roos v Crows game is a turnover fest. Crows running at 3/4 energy, waiting for a simple mistake, kick it towards Tex, Fogarty, Rachele or Rankine. I'm going back out to the garden . . .

    Might be because it is a Geelong home game at the MCG and allows more Cats supporters to travel up from Sleepy Hollow. I think Geelong complained to the AFL about their MCG home games being at night in previous years. If it was a Carlton home game it would be the evening match. Still, I don't mind a Carlton away game at the MCG on a late Saturday arvo, works for me. Up the Baggers!! [Selecting which navy blue scarf to wear 😁]

    Still, for neutrals watching on tv, Cats v Blues would definitely be more appealing!

    Geelong seems to have disproportionate influence with the AFL.

    Confirmation that Sam Powell-Pepper has done his ACL and will undergo a knee reco.  

    There couldn't be too many worse injuries to cop than that one.

    Bad luck for Powell-Pepper, ACL. That’s cruel.

    Seriously it is beyond a joke now 

     

    Folded. Tassie becomes the 18th team and that’s all this competition can sustain. McKercher becomes the inaugural captain.

    If Geelong are allegedly making over $1 million dollars a game at KP does anyone know why they are still playing home games at the MCG instead of 11 games at home?

    • 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.
