    I'm betting (see what I did there) you've posted that Hamish clip in the wrong thread, @Little Goffy!

    Maybe it is in the wrong location, but if people don't like it they can just not look at it.

    Haha what do you mean you can’t avoid it?! Just don’t click on it 🤣

    You didn't read what I said.

    I go to the next topic by clicking "next unread topic"

    I have always done this, I have no idea what the topic is until it opens.

    So I can't avoid it.

    Gambling is not a football topic.

    By the header I just assumed in the interests of transparency the AFL had changed their name to AFL Betting.

    I would like to see regulations involving 1 betting ad per commercial break during games. Cranking up the price for advertising which those companies can have a bidding war over

    I would prefer we didn't have a thread on betting at all...

    ...but, I guess that's just me.

    Betting against Melbourne is the only way i can cope with watching us play. I'm basically paying for a win and if they lose, which is often they pay me for the displeasure.

    I reckon North will get the line in today’s game, +39.5. They’ve play well v Dogs and then they tore us up.

    In the voice of Dave O’Neil: gamble responsibility.

    I love to have a bet with friends, my family has owned and trained horses and I only mention this to say I’m not a wowser.

    But seriously sports betting on phones has to stop, it cannot be that easy to get high. It’s like your phone is dispensing fentanyl.

    Felt strong enough to post about it, John Oliver can be a preachy git, but he’s not wrong here, is worth a watch, and the harm is real, let’s push to limit the damage.

    Oh and to be clear I don’t mind people talking about their bets, in the same way I favour legalization, but with limits and controls.

    There are a lot of things on phones which needs to end, including betting and gaming.

    If only someone could end Tik Tok as well.

    Langford RS / $7

    Melb top 8 / $15

    Multi the above into a power play for $121

    Staked $2 on each

    I got on us at the start of CY2021 to win it all at $26 and tracc Norm Smith. That was juicy.

    I would like to see an end to a great many things

    The east coast gas cartel

    Capital gains tax discount - back to indexation please

    Outsized population growth

    Crazy gambling ad volumes

    Idiotic driving on roads especially around cyclists

    Excess taxation on labour instead of economic rents

    More coal and gas mines

    Collingwood winning any more grand finals, ever

    The list goes on

    But not gambling itself

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • 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.
