Essendon and Carlton both winning would be the worst start possible to this round. Got an ominous sort of feeling about it for tomorrow.

    Ok

    Halftime quick question.

    What type of players were/ are you?

    You've just received the ball ot 25 m from goal with nobody near you for thirty m.

    Do you dribble it through or smash it into the top stand?

    I think you already know the answer Deevs

    Hit the post. Possibly with both the ball and then myself.

    In fact, yeah, my two options would be hit the post or slip during the kick and not even make the distance.

    Will be fun to see who is left by round 19 against the giants. But, hey, you never know, the Bombers have been on the cusp of a big upswing for about 13 years...

    And these low crowds against low drawing interstate teams are quite common ... Hawks, North, Demons, Bulldogs & Saints have had to sell them off to balance the books

    But low crowds at Docklands never looks 3/4 empty as do the same sized crowds at the MCG

    Bombers have got 80k-90k members with an enormous supporter base ... so 25k for them is pitiful

    Footnote: To not have a 3rd boutique-type stadium in a City with 9/10 teams is baffling. Princes Park was the ideal venue but the horse has probably bolted

    Sanders is looking a tad better so far this season. Seems to have found his legs, poise and mojo

    If a player just watches the ball go ob, how is that not insufficient intent on his part?

    Oh what a shame to see Cripps hurt himself after launching his knee between naughton's shoulders.

    Took an ump 40 meters away from the play to call that obvious incorrect disposal against the Blues

    Umpires call is a goal. Completely inconclusive on the footage but the Blues get the benefit of the doubt ....again.

    • 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.
