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.

    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: 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.
