Fair. I’ll reel myself back in and not get so wound up next time.

Also being fair,the comments themselves were of substance and articulate, so I guess you were just the right amount of wound up but walked through the wrong door!

i love gc17's pink guernsey

they should wear it instead of that red monstrosity

Agree. I think the horrible logo lets it down though.

I'm not saying the umpiring has been strange at times this round, but I do feel like the officiator's cellar shouldn't be opened until after the game because the 3/4 time tipple is clearly having an impact.

Anyway, nice to see that Maynard will certainly get rubbed out for a few weeks for that completely unwarranted elbow directly to the face of an opponent after the ball had already moved on.

I'm sure he deviated course into Maynard's elbow.

I'm sure boofhead has the red wine and choccies ready.

If someone is just waking up from a coma after 1 year and turned on the Carlton West Coast match, judging from the over the top celebrations from both fans and players, you would be forgiven to think the coma individual just watched a grand final. 🤣🤣🤣

Durdin in carrying on like a pork chop. Where was he the previous 4 weeks? 🤡

I see you’ve learnt nothing from recent years.

Remember when Carlton was flag favourite this time last year after starting the season like a house on fire? Or when Geelong won their first 7, only to lose their next 5?

Or when we went 10-0 to start 2022, and then…no I know you remember that one.

Collingwood look good now, even though they’ve copped some good luck getting Sydney and the Dogs when they did, with both missing stacks of elite talent. But it’s Round 5.

I get the impression people don’t rate Collingwood because they hate them more so than actually analysing their list and the way they play, which is strongly suited to the modern game.

I firmly believe Collingwood will be there on prelim final weekend, at the minimum.

My mate who supports Collingwood textured me straight after the game and said so you rate us top 4 now. I said no but top 6 yes.

Hawks, GWS, Lions, Cats top 4 for me.

Then Pies, Dogs,

7 -8 will be between Saints, Crows, Suns, Freo but won’t make the prelim.

Beat the Lions and it’s a conversation but not until then, he did acknowledge that Dogs were robbed a few weeks ago when they played them.

5 weeks in and it’s season over for 8 teams for various reasons.

Way to early to call mate

The premiers and another top 4 team were in the bottom 4 this time last year

Burgess the secret weapon. Adelaide totally transformed, they remind me of us in 21

Burgess would have to take his share of the blame for the 50 point turnaround at home

People actually like GC's pink jersey?

Looks horrible to me. Like a dodgy training bib


Gold Coast are top of the table!

Yes you heard me

Nth getting another thrashing. It makes that loss against them even more embarrassing

They played it like their Grand Final. Been rubbish every other week.

yep all thanks to the afl or should i say afl queensland, academy bs ruins the game


This game has Footscray versus Fitzroy at the Western Oval vibes.

Can’t remember seeing a kid dominate so quickly as Darcy is. It is changing the way the Lions are playing as he marks everything. Throws his body around and kicks goals

The Dogs are similar club to us , only 1 flag in 60yrs & didn’t maximise their premiership clock, yet they have found ways to somehow reinvent themselves & haven’t bottomed out …Let’s see if/how Goodwin can pull us out of deep hole

having a generational player like darcy land in their lap as a father-son has been a big part of that

what i've been impressed by bevo's work in the last couple of years is to transition lobb into one of the best defenders in the competition and to take lachy bramble from an also-ran into one of the best rebounding defenders in the competition

and this is even without jamara becoming the player he promised to be even as recently as last year due to a myriad of...issues

Hadn’t Christian already said he won’t look at it and in fact the so called victim will be cited for head butting his elbow just like Peter caven was!?

Dogs lack a backline that can get them deep into the finals.

A good 5-9 ranked side

Well, they have done Ok to half time keeping the premiers to only 4 goals! That's not a back line lacking!

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
