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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
