Gee the dogs were lucky to land Darcy under father son. He's going to be great for them.

I'm more peeved they got Jamara and we missed out on Mac Andrew.

I reckon if the state government built us our own Stadium at Casey, and then we only allowed 300 opposition supporters in we’d give that record a fair shake.

Maybe if you moved Casey to Red Hill

Agreed!

blatant free. Meek blocking English from contesting the ball. You can’t just clear the space around the ball drop and not even contest it yourself

how do they not know the basic rules?

100% plus the main reason it was paid was cause he turned his head looking for English. Block and take eyes off ball = free kic

[censored] if I know.

 

"Sweepers" was never traditionally a position in cricket.  It came in with 50 over games but moreso in 20/20 to describe deep fielders who swept the leg of off side boundary.

They now run more ( and faster) than deep mid wicket or deep cover in the traditional form!

Outstanding football

I hope it stays this close. 

The great German footballer Franz Beckenbauer, nickname ‘Der Kaiser’ (translated as the emperor) is recognised as the creator of the sweeper role (also known as the 'libero').

The sweeper is a defensive player who sits behind the defensive line, sweeping up and dealing with any balls played through the defensive line. Beckenbauer was a great distributor and was also very adept at setting attacks in motion.

i don't like the look of the Hawks here. 

I'm feeling dogs are going to pull away.

(Also, calling @binman, I am not convinced the Hawk's #loading took finals into contention.)

All the Hawks fans are up and about again after a long interval.

It's sickening to see.

I hope the doggies smash em

I'm with you, hate the Hawks. Arrogant supporters.

So a half - back flanker? Use that instead!

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
