This is lovely to watch the cats being destroyed, perhaps they all believed last week was just an off night!

    Chris Scott is not happy as his players are having a shocker of a night. They are playing witches hats and it can be the only excuse…..

    At least we're not the only team losing the game in the first quarter.

    Both (us and Geelong) teams coming out so far off the pace after last week’s game speaks volumes about how tough a game it was in those conditions.
    Last night hurts so bad as all we had to do was play the first quarter at our standard and it was an easy win.

    Oh well onwards and upwards, I hope Geelong continue to embarrass themselves but we need them to get a bit closer to keep us in the four.

    I don’t like them reviewing scores when the field umpire called touched - as the players then let the ball go through assuming it was.

    You can’t penalise a team for an umpire mistake.

    It's simply to avoid losing viewers who switch off. Like me.

    Always do this talking up the alleged drama.  Keep the interest.

    Sheeesh

    Yep, something really stinks about this. Umpire called touched so it is touched.

    How could anyone switch off the Cats losing at home?

    The fans are so baffled by not having every decision go their way

    Bloody gut wrenching watching some of the Fremantle players in the pre game tribute to Cam McCarthy.

    A timely reminder that you never know what someone is going through in private, and we all should do better with some of the trash we throw at our players over a football game. 

    It is after all just a game, but these players are someone’s entire world!

    Ch.7 now promoting a venue within the Kardinia Park State/Cats/Station/AFL Promotional edifice?

    Crass.

    And worse.

    Reserved seating is the issue price wise.

    • 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.

      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.
