Seems that no one likes Docklands (Beware the flip side is we will go there more often)

Three of Marvel Stadium’s tenant clubs – Essendon, Carlton and St Kilda – have asked the AFL to reduce their number of games at the stadium that is wholly owned by the league.

Essendon are asking that the Bombers’ long-standing split of seven games at Docklands and four at the MCG be changed to six and five in favour of the MCG. The Bombers have been the anchor tenant since the ground’s inception.

Interesting to see that the Pies are looking to sell their game at Marvel against GCS

    I just don't see why there has to be a result in the home and away season and only 4 points for a win handed out. I know the players work hard for 2 hrs and it's a weird feeling all that sort of rhetoric but it adds a element to the game that few others have. 

    I would have been thrilled to snatch a draw against Carlton in a similar fashion to what Freo did.

    It just doesn't make sense when you have a points system.

    Another stellar night in the commentary box by BT.

    1) called a Fremantle player “Franklin”

    2) Called Nick Daicos “Josh Daicos”

    3) made numerous other mistakes.

    He so often calls a player by the wrong name, can’t keep up with the flow of play and gets in the habit of saying “I think might have been player x who kicked the ball”

    It’s not good enough by channel 7’s premier caller and it’s not good enough by channel 7.

    But why pick on him now? Listen to the commentary from 2021...it was terrible.

    Perhaps the horse race caller? 'And there goes Langdon down the far wing, followed by daylight, then a distant Libba...'

    Anyone know the “rule” for reviewing that Pies point that was subject to a very very late review (clearly crossed the line).  Seems like the ARC has discretion to review anything and wait until the next stoppage to inform field umpire. Interested to know what the rules are for reviewing a point when play continues. Could lead to some very unfair outcomes.

    You're joking @Dodos Demons? The AFL - unfair outcomes? This is the AFL's default operating position.

    Yes. I turned off the game when C'wood got their last goal and only watched the rest when I heard the result.  And I heard the ump say to a C'wood player near the wing 'give the ball straight back to me'.  A few minutes they infringed that near rthe goals.   How sad.

    An extra team does nothing to help the number of TV games. Additional viewers in Tasmania would be few. Twentieth team... come on down

    Every time I watch Gold Coast i just think the AFL are a bunch of C's for taking away Mac Andrew from us and handing  Gold Coast and the eastern states another free kick.

    Whilst WB were entitled and handed free reign to JUH.

    How? 

    @Oxdee I reckon we are competing with both Freo and Collingwood in terms of our bracket of the ladder, albeit Freo is probably nipping at our heels while we are nipping at Collingwoods.

    Freo were favourites yesterday but only got the 2 points, meaning they possibly lost a bit of ground against us in terms of end of season position.

    Collingwood got a draw, which could be seen as a win given they weren't expecting any points, but as they already had a draw, and we have a better percentage, the two points aren't as valuable to them.

     

    So my gut says in the scheme of the season it was a good result for us. As long as we win games we should, of course.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
