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?

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
