I think we have to reluctantly go for Brisbane today, right?

    Yep. I couldn't care then who would win out of Sydney v Brisbane

    Really ump?

    I can see why it was paid, but it wasn't there

    I truly reckon there should be only 3 field umpires, with 2 'subs'. 

    If a senior umpire up in the control booth think one or more umps are having a bad game, sub them out!

    This is entertaining. 

    Hope they beat the carp out of each other and the Swans run over one of them next week.

    Really don't like either team but it's the hate for Geelong that makes me hope Lions get up by one point.

    But I don’t buy it so much today. People will watch Sports on an iPhone now, so you don’t have to be home at a certain time.

    I watched last year’s GF on the AFL  website Live on the phone, this push for the night timeslot is overrated, as are Fireworks and Halftime entertainment 

    But how many people have shifted away from FTA? A big number, I'd agree but Rugby League & the AFL still gets millions of eyes watching ... on FTA

    There has certainly been a shift  and Free-to-air is struggling but it won't die. Not in the near future and certainly not with regards to the 2 big sports in this country

    And FTA is paying the NRL & the AFL $Billions for the right to broadcast the games

    They are not forking out that sort of money unless they are getting a decent return

    My view is that the FTA commercial networks needs live sport more than they ever did.  Why else would the the last AFL broadcast deal go for $4.5Billion?  

    But you won't see the commercial networks clamouring for the A-League in a hurry.  Doesn't rate (although, the A-League is on 10Bold on Saturday nights and 5pm Sundays

    The main Ch10HD channel will be broadcasting an NBL every Sunday afternoon from 2.30pm (every week) throughout the summer

    AFLW gets heaps of live coverage on Ch7.  2 games every Sunday for starters

    So there seems to be more live sport on the FTA channels as there ever was

    Which can only lead to one conclusion ... that people are still watching FTA TV in large numbers (sports included)

    The overseas model paints a different picture but the overseas captive audience is enormous

    Nathan Williamson is umpiring. Somehow Melbourne will manage to get crucified today.

    We've seen how poorly he umpires the footy for years and he's been no better this year.

    How does he get selected to umpire a prelim?

    Every time I see him I laugh about the story that he told security at the MCG to tell our cheer squad to stop calling him ‘haircut’. It’s too funny!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
