Don't want to see 15 or 23 in maggot garb Sat Night.

There's no game without umpires and they do good work in a very difficult and highly scrutinised job. It's poor to refer to them as "maggots".

    They do average work and are well paid.Football is bread and circuses.Nobody puts a gun at their head.They should be better than they are.They often create the wrong result.They deserve and require constant scrutiny.

    Is this our sixth night game out of eight this year?

    Is the ball more slippery at night?

    Daytime (standard) red Sherrins are stained.

    The yellow night ball is not.  It's painted as you can't stain leather yellow. The paint is then covered with some sort of protective coating, so it's inherently more slippery.

    Add some dew to that and you have a slippery little sucker on your hands.

    Grippo probably becomes even more important on nights like this.  Some players like using it and others maybe not so much.

    So constant scrutiny = "maggots". 

    Olympic long jump is coming up - you just qualified.

    This is the kind of content I've been crying out for 👏

    Well done Claire Pettyfor.

    I think we are deluding ourselves if we think a forward line with Petty and Van Rooyen can get enough goals for us to win! Would have prefered BBB!

    • 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.

    • 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.
