Ironically its always funny watching Melbourne supporters on here giving shade to the likes of Brisbane and Collingwood whilst our very own club rots away down the bottom.

I enjoy watching Collingwood play and would dream to have the game style they have. It's fun, exciting and brings their supporters through the gates.

I legitimately have more excitement in watching Casey play this weekend over our snooze fest AFL club.

exactly we should win against gws, best casey team since the gf maybe even better

    With the Pies it is pretty simple.

    About 8 - 10 very skilled ball handlers.

    The best player in the game. A brother also an excellent player.

    More AFL experience than any other side.

    Total buy in and selflessness by the players.

    Pace to burn.

    Reasonable goal kicking skill.

    Well coached.

    Ability to recruit players from other clubs.

    To a lesser extent, huge support which probably leads to favorable umpiring on nearly every occasion. Can you see the 78m penalty being given against the Pies or the soft free to McStay for a goal, or the ridiculous DeGoey free where he dropped an opponent not in play, all paid at crucial times. A bunch of mates in the MRO and Tribunal also helps.

    The Pies aren’t that fast they just move the ball quickly. Constant movement forward then if they cough it up they get back and force the opponent down the line. They work incredibly hard.

    It’s funny isn’t it - even if we leave the Brayshaw stuff out of the conversation I’ve only ever viewed him as a sniper and yet he’s lauded as tough

    He's just an absolute P.O.S. thug

    Needs to be run through. ( twice)

    Usually the Good Friday game involving North is a yawn fest but this one could be a good watch.

    Carlton's season definitely on the line. Win today and they may still scrape into the final 8. Lose and Voss, like Goodwin is gone

    I wonder if the afl will come out & speak about that 77m penalty that daicos got.

    That's a massive difference & a massive error

    conversely, if they get up, the pressure will only ramp up on voss

    Not sure if that’s more of a dig at North or Melbourne.

    We‘re the only team North can beat.

    I know most hate the ground but the closed roof is making for great television viewing.

    Time they put some fixed cameras in the roofing gantry to increase the number of camera angles.

    Watching Kayo their goal replays seem to be repetitive in coverage. Something they could work on but it does look good in 4K

    The roof’s fantastic for TV.

    However it should be open for warm early season nights and overcast winter days. Absolutely unbearable and non temperature controlled when it’s mid 20’s plus.

    Have North ever played in one of these Good Friday games and not been belted?

    Yeah listening to it on the radio & the boundary rider was saying how hot it is & stuffy. It's a big crowd to so all those bodies in there won't help

    West coast any chance tonight or am I just hoping?

    You want West Coast to win because you hate Essendon?

    Or you want West Coast to win because we’ll be the only team to be winless and hence the microscope will be fair and square on the club?

    A small chance IMO.. Aside from round 1, West Coast will play their better games at Optus.

    Man North plays dumb sometimes. Like why do they just keep jumping on the ball. They've been pinged like 5 times.

    Norths victory over us really doesn’t bode for us winning a game any time soon. We all thought Norf had turned the corner and were going to not be easy beats was perhaps a distraction from how far we have really fallen.

    • 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.
