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.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • 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.
