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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
