Didn't bother with the second half. Checked the scores in the third quarter. What a pity when like many we expected a gripping game.

Will watch the first quarter of the game in the West mainly to see how HR plays and take it from there.

Wow,,, Canterbury Bulldogs go 6 straight in a very big 42-0 win over the mid table Rabbitohs

    I thought Greene might be the guy but Nup

    None of our blokes. Too busy slapping him on the bum the traitors

    Don't get me started on bum-slapping framed as innocent team bonding when it's ultimately about unconsciously upholding norms that marginalise emotional diversity and reinforce homophobic boundaries under the guise of unity. 🤣

    ‘superstar’ LDU with 7 kicks and 5 clangers, 2 clearances needs to take a good hard look at himself

    That's actually his problem.

    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.

    Best recent decision by the Pies was to trade out Jack 'my shorts are too big because I've got a little *&(#@) Ginnivan. They woke up to the nightmare before most footy followers. Wouldn't mind betting Sidey and Pendles had their fingerprints all of that.

    • 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.

      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.
