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 feel a Herbatron video coming on.. the melts are delicious.

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 🤢

 

A message to our Younger Members on here. 
 

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.

In fairness I've seen more effort put in by a teenager doing chores than essendon defending

That's a massive call Mr bigg!

Hope Port win by 100+….. 750 grams of Saxa salt into already gaping Blooze fans wounds.. couldn’t have happened to a better club. 🤣🤡

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 

 

Disposals

Port 314 to 181 Tigers

An absolute mauling

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

That’s a rock and a hard place, for sure  .

Just been to Bomberblitz    they are not happy

 

My kids don’t even care to be honest and I don’t blame them

Yeh same, next generation coming through just know the players don’t care. So why should we?

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.

Won’t happen. The Broadcast Rights money is to high

Those 5 weeks are worth $Millions in Advertising 


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.

Vic park was no picnic either....

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.
