    The McDonalds seem to get better with age.

    Maybe we need an I Was Wrong thread?

    I've certainly been off the mark with TMac. After that GWS game last year I thought he was done...

    I'mnot watching the game, but I see that OMac has 2 goals, 7 score involvements and 3 goal assists playing as a 196cm ruckman...

    it's an incredible comeback from being ditched by first mfc then cfc

    it will be interesting to see how they combine darcy, jackson, treacy, amiss, and o mac going forward

    Interesting; Freo up by 40 odd, then gave up late goals in the last quarter to win by 18.

    Very similar to last night.

    Had a serious back injury while at Carlton, and they obviously thought he was cooked. Worked very hard in the VFL to give himself another chance, which was almost lost through last year's knee injury.

    Asking genuinely, was Ben McKay really good at Kangas? I never really watched any of their games.

    i watch the roos every week. he was horrendous.

    Must have taken OMac off for the last 15 minutes.

    Freo have a lot of journeymen playing for them. OMac, Narkle, O’Meara, Aish and Wagner are all at their third club.

    It’s interesting to me that McKay was talked about as a gun full back whilst at the Roos, then I watched him play at Essendon and I thought he must’ve had a huge drop off in form

    Interesting. I thought he was tracking really well as a young KPD. Until Robbie Tarrant left for Richmond and left him to lead the backline. McKay seemed to stagnate, if not regress from that point .

    But I've not watched them as much as you

    Anyone else think the scoring pattern at the Coll/Ess game was unusual, or everyone except C just got tired.

    The Saints always wear such Crappy “Away” Strips, even when they are playing at home

    What a Dogs Breakfast

    It feels like they've worn a different guernsey in every game so far this year. The Belgian flag one is still to make an appearance though.

    Saints prove they are rubbish earlier than usual

    Lions should be flag favourites and then daylight. Their squad is so deep. they are just in cruise mode

    Just a final reflection on Ben McKay @Go the Biff and @BoBo, - he is not inside the top 150 players in the comp. Yet North got pick three as compensation for him. Get your head around that 🥇. Everyone gets a participation medal.

    Too early to call mate

    This time last season the premiers and a top 6 team were 13th and 17th!

    (and we were 4th 😬)

    Hahaha, wow, picks 1 to 4 for us then for Kozzie if that’s the standard.

    I looked up his contract and it’s averaged to $800k over 6 years. So it’s not the craziest amount. Still $100k too much for his output and that’s being generous.

    Port have had 2 great wins so in true Ken fashion I reckon they’ll put in a shocker today

    Port by 12pts

    • 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.
