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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
