The crowd at GWS v Brisbane was 18,300. Does anyone know the capacity of the ground?

    What did I actually say.

    You are so judgemental it's funny.

    All I posted was what a difference it would be to have a Hogan like player than a Petty one.

    Geez. Get a grip on life mate.

    Ha. Maybe lie down and take a pill or something.

    Life is too short to deal with rubbish judgements and posts like yours.

    Seriously at first I was like WTH but now It's become amusing.

    How in the world could my post be ridiculous?

    Thanks for the laugh Uranus. I needed it. Dare I say pick up the funny papers yourself and get yourself one. I'd say you need to more than I.

    Cheers.

    I thought the call was spot on.

    Made no genuine attempt to keep the ball in play despite the pressure.

    I mean the free to Daniher

    it looked like he nudged the GWS and Daniher half hit the ball

    The Cats/Lions game is of significant interest in terms of how competitive the game could be.  Interesting that the bookies have the Lions at 2.10 (which seems too short)

    Port on the other hand are showing 3.45 which seems like unders to me.  They're not getting my money!

    I was going for Gws but yea it's lions now.

    Don't want the others for sure.

    Big win from the Lions last night might see them all the way.

    Daniel from GWS won’t be sleeping well for a while. Undisciplined and selfish.

    Yeah it was dumb of him to take the advantage when Hogan would have had a shot from the goal square. But I have seen umpires call it back if it doesn't turn into an advantage?

    It's a shame Hawks and dogs are out. Gws for me too.

    So used to seeing us play finals it's hard now.

    Bring on the cricket.

    Maybe but kinda sick of interstate clubs dominating the comp.

    They played an exciting brand of footy at least.

    But yea memories of that game with the penalty many moons ago.

    We lost to Sydney by 22 didn’t we?

    We also beat one of the two SF losers and lost to the other by less than a goal. 

    Do we take solace? No. We finished 14th.

    More on Hogan ... 

    He works really hard in the forward line and is a commanding presence in the corridor/hot spot

    And it's no accident either, he's a proper forward and a natural

    Doesn't lead to the boundary line to get the easy mark but puts his body on the line in the crunch area.  But he is big and brave and it's hard to hurt him as a consequence 

    And as a general rule, he finds the front position without much fuss

    So the question is, how do you find these types of forwards as the draft more often than not doesn't deliver (for midfielders in the draft, the strike rate is a lot better)

    Does anyone actually know of a proper Giants supporter?  The psych wards might be full of Dons supporters muttering 7307 over and over again (whilst rocking back & forth)

    • 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.
