The Nick Watson coddling and love fest in spite of the quiet game is nauseating. 

 

He wasn't just quiet he got a spanking from Wicks.

this has been a dud fixture since its inception.

It's only made sense as a crowd building exercise to kick off the season, but even then there would be better ways to achieve that purpose.

With opening round here it's lost whatever juice it once had and it's just a random Thursday night game now.

 

Port to beat pies

north over the dogs

eagles to do GCS

can that be a multi. ????

I’m looking forward to Saturday night’s match - the Centrelink Cup - would love to see Port demolish the Pies. 


From 'The Age' just now:

Collingwood premiership star Brayden Maynard was involved in a car accident on Thursday morning.

The Magpies said no one was injured in what football boss Charlie Gardiner described as “an unfortunate accident” involving another car.

Sounds like he drives in much the same manner as he plays football, except he didn't injure anybody this time.  "Unfortunate accident", hey?

All good. It was a driving act. He didn’t expect the other car to change direction. He’ll bring wine and flowers to the other drive tomorrow.

Definitely. Before the introduction of opening round the footy-starved masses looked forward to the Carl vs Rich Thursday night season opener, no matter who they support. It wasn’t so much that it’s Carl or Rich, it’s that it’s footy. 

I'm so keen to watch almost any footy but I can't get the interest to watch tonight

Is anyone going to watch?

This game should be tucked away on Sunday at 1pm

Brayden Maynard was an unfortunate accident.

I’m surprised it’s not on free-to-air.

Just realised it is. You mustn’t have an antenna, right?

His 2nd accident in a few months. Either he doesn't concentrate or he's a bad driver

A quote from Maynard at the scene

"Bruz car hit other car, make noise"

I wonder if bystanders started up the long Collllliiiinnnnngggwwwooooddd chant or maybe they only use that for when the other driver is lying motionless and unconscious. 


Only Lalor and Trainor make the 27 from their draft haul 

I’m tipping Lalor to have a Wines-like impact and win the rising star

May need Levi to pull a hammy!

This is going to make the site crash Saturday afternoon....

The ABC news says it was his second such crash in 14 months.   

Make a game of tonight’s match so you don’t get bored. Have a shot of tequila every time Carlton kick a goal, you’ll be hammered by quarter time. Then have a sickie tomorrow.

 

None of the articles say the time Maynard's 'accident' happened.  Last time he crashed his car it was 6.00am.

Is the media protecting that scum species again!

  • 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.

  • 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.
