Remember the time we had 1 free kick to 21 at half time v the Eagles in Perth? 😂😂

Didn’t that one start the whole “noise of affirmation” [censored]?

    I’m off to Marvel tonight with my niece who’s followed in my footsteps and declared her love for a team other than Carlton, except she goes for Geelong. 😭It’s me and her against the fam. 👊🏼 Now I have to pretend I want Geelong to win 🤢

    In the 70’s and 80’s going out to Windy Hill (Essenthing’s Home Dump) was a seriously dangerous task, i am not joking. 
    They wanted to fight and see blood. It was a long train ride home.
    And when Sheedy came along in 1981 it actually got worse.
    So don’t ever have any sympathy for the Essendrug FC. If they ever become extinct, celebrate hard….

    Those young kids would have spent a lot of energy winning last week, and good luck to them. But the long grind will begin today 

    Absolutely.  Only Rnd 2 and already so many blow outs.

    Some of these matches are gonna be unwatchable.

    Early days but it seems like gulf has widened even further this season for some teams.

    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 

    Best spoil I’d seen in ages

    100%.  You would often be under threat just going for a pee out there.

    The Dawks, Cats (only at Tax Payer Park though), Peptides and Filth were always in your face, even after a win.

    The Toiges supprorters were also the same around the Richmond area and its local pubs post match.

    Even the Vic based Swanny supporters have been absolute arragont a'holes over the years.

    Some of the worst stuff i've ever heard at the footy also came from the Saints grog squad (yep even they had one at one stage) during the 2006 finals series.  As feral as you'll ever see that night.

    Never forget or forgive ppl.

    It will only get wider when the Tassie side joins in…

    As much as i agree Tassie should be part of the AFL, adding another Team to the Competition could be very dangerous

    Absolutely agree  I was in the Cheer squad back then (70's) and it was always trouble. Not from their CS but other feral supporters

    I bet it was. Out of all the VFL grounds i went to back then, Windy Hill and Victoria Park were the most intimidating by far. 
     

    Although i was at The Western Oval in ‘88 right in front of Rodney Grinter when he did a full redecorating of Terry Wallace’s Jaw. The noise was quite sickening 

    The Dog Supporters wanted to kill us all that day.

    Need to shorten the season once they come in also.

    Play each other once and kill off the stupid fixture with 5 random rounds of only a few select teams playing each other twice.

    No real joy in watching Richmond getting pummelled, but Joe Richards doing fine out there for Port is a nice reminder that Collingwood gave up Richards, Noble (who is also doing fine at Gold Coast), pick 36 and, best of all, their 2025 first round pick in order to acquire a player who is, sure, pretty good, but no Xavier Lindsay.

    I choose to add a celebration of Noble & Richards to the death ride of Collingwood's first pick. It is more wholesome that way.

    FOOTSCRAY swingman Rory Lobb has escaped sanction for an accidental strike on Collingwood ruckman Mason Cox in the dying stages of Friday night's clash at the MCG.

    23 rounds including one bye per team. Have a split bye rd mid season.

    Scrap rd Zero.

    Play every team once = 17 games. Then your remaining 5 games are based on your ladder position from the previous season, top 6, middle 6 & bottom 6.

    When Tassie comes in North or Saints fold, 18 teams work, 19 & or 20 won’t neither will a final 10 finals system. Even though we know it’s coming and the majority will lap it up.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
