Surprised the AFL haven't tried to create a rivalry game between the two expansion teams yet, a la GC and it's Frankenstein cousin Brisbane. How about the Plastic Fantastic?

    Callum Brown would be nice inside our forward 50. Great kick and strong as an ox.

    Such a soft 50 at a critical time

    Giants should win from here

    7 goals to 1 in the last Q

    Suns still soft

    Expect the Dogs will replace them in the 8 before long

    Good lord, the worst non deliberate call of all time

    Umps got the Giants home with some howlers in the last Q

    such a pity in a cracking match

    Why were GC$ wearing recycled WCE jumpers from the 1990s??

    Collingwood are like Dees in 2022., Sydney in 2024. When you are the best team all year it turns ugly for you. Watch it unravel for them.

    To be fair, the umpires looked after the Suns the whole game - 24 to 15 frees the Suns way.

    I'm not watching a lot of other footy but Geez there seems to be a lot of very soft 50m penalties being dished out of late. Such gifts to teams and momentum killers to others.

    Is it just me noticing this after the Dees got hammered the other week or does it seem to be on the rise?

    the issue is they just call heaps over a couple of weeks and then dont call any for weeks after that, its just a massive cycle. either make calls consistently [censored] or good not in between and dont change throughout the season

    An absolute shocker 'Dub'...there's no way in the world that shouldn't have been called.

    Yet somehow 4 umpires couldn't make it.

    i’ve noticed an increase in the past couple of weeks. 2-3 a game is normal

    The one today which decided the game imo was a bloke running past around 10 yards away. did not influence the bloke with the ball at all. Ended in a goal

    so frustrating

    You know the umpiring is bad when you fall about laughing about the inconsistencies and errors favouring the team you are barracking for. When oh when is the AFL going to realise they are making a hash of the game.

    And don't get me started on the ugly wrestling match to be seen at every ruck contest.

    Gold Coast is going to be the side to miss the 8, right? A post-bye slump as per usual?

    What an absolute fail it will be if they do miss from 8-2 with the list they have.

    (Meanwhile I expect them to comfortably account for us on Saturday. They should be fired up knowing their finals spot is on the line).

    still two games in hand over the other teams around them on the ladder - like gw$, who are only a win ahead of them on points

    How exciting for dogs fans to attend every week to watch a key forward in Darcy who can also kick straight

    he very well may be the player of his generation with the rate that he's going at

    Nah, Collingwood are the AFL's official team these days.

    Nothing wrong with a good spray occasionally.

    Players are on Top Coin, if they are not playing to the Coaches instructions, then it’s fully deserved.

    I wish Goodwin would let fly at times….

    He have the players a bit of a cook at qtr time of Gather Round V Essendon. It was very mild but still animated by Goodwin’s standards.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • 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.
