Some truly fascinating contests. Crows are a really smokey this year for me. Should be a good game. Port will pump Richmond but will be intriguing after last week. As for Saints and Cats... well I go for any team that plays Geelong so let's just hope St Kilda doesn't out-St Kilda itself.

    VFL should have moved to 16 a side years ago.

    I like the boundary idea but it could be counteractive in the sense that play would avoid the boundary in favour of the corridor thus increasing congestion. Trial it in the VFL for the first half of each year for a couple of seasons perhaps

    I'd go next year in the AFL (new boundary line rule and 16 a side)

    There would be less congestion and let's not forget that a ground like the MCG is 149 metres wide

    I much prefer corridor footy, it's just way more exciting.  As for turnovers in the middle?  That won't happen if a team is highly skilled

    We are already seeing a trend that way anyway.  So if we make the boundary line the enemy, we'll see a better game

    Not necessarily looking for higher scores either ... one of my all-time favourites games was the 1990 Elimination final (Melb vd Hawks)

    End to end stuff but only 18 goals scored for the match

    I am getting sick of McCrae.

    Said Cox was punched in the face and got stitches and he was sure the player would come under MRO scrutiny. 

    He is now as annoying as Chris Scott.

    Crowd at Bombers v Crows at the G, on a sunny saturday, with no Grand Prix, looks poor.

    Wonder if we will hear Caro and her mates knocking the Bombers’ fans.

    Surely it was just a football action,  Lobb was trying to spoil but couldn’t turn in the air. High contact yes,  but that was all

    Darcy was probably BoG )with Libba and Daicos) but he hit the post twice from 30m with no pressure

    He must be feeling it

    *side note - love how Darcy seems to hate the Pies and sticks it to Maynard. 

    Darcy is my favourite non-mfc player. When he polaxed Maynard last year it was a thing of beauty. He was at him again last night.

    McRae is like Jurgen Klopp. Glazed by the media but a complete arsehat.

    I am also starting to dislike McRae. He has an arrogance about him.

    But you have taken him out of context. I heard it as him simply stating fact; that he would assume that it would get looked at simply for the fact it was a punch to the face and a player needed stitches. i don't think he was being smart or anything.

    Is anyone else enjoying the "footy act" that caught Coxhead in the eye?  There's only one nicer bloke on that team it could have happened to.   

    Pies fear worst for defender, Lobb 'punch' under scrutiny - https://www.afl.com.au/news/1283038

    Is that [censored] Michael Christian involved? If so, will he vow to quit if Lobb isn't given 8 weeks?

    Yeah Cox never seems to get punished for being such a filthy sniper and loves the Collingwood method of leading into people's kidneys with his knees

    Essendon and Carlton are the biggest wannabe clubs.

    Carlton were only ever good because they had money.

    Essendon benefited from awesome zoning and a once-in-a-generation coach. 

    They haven't won a final without Sheedy since 1968. Just horrific. It's somehow better to be a Saints support in 2025 if you were born this century.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
