As much as I hate the pies & they are looked after by the afl the fixtures etc also respect them that they fight to the end, something that’s gone missing from us & all this love BS and talk of not wins & losses but process is that BS as it’s created mediocracy acceptance of losing, we don’t hear McRae saying this he looks like he cares deeply for all his players!

    Hey @Clintosaurus Gold Coast got about 5 free kicks in the last 5 minutes. I assume this is because the Collingwood conspiracy took a break tonight?

    I didn't see the game. Guess Hardwick's sooking about Matt Rowell got a dividend?

    Did laugh at this from a Cats fan podcast:

    Interesting that the AFL keeps fixturing a Pies rare interstate trip, to the GC in school holidays, ensuring a large Pies fan attendance and surprise, surprise, they then with the noise keep getting the best of the umpiring.

    Have they played at Geelong in the last 40 years?

    Yeah and didn’t Jonathon Brown (and Garry Lyon to a lesser extent) love mentioning how the pies are great in terms of how many travel interstate. Of course a lot of them travelled; as you said, it’s school holidays and it’s the Gold Coast.

    I’d like to see how many would travel to three consecutive interstate games, especially if they’re at the wrong end of the ladder. Or two matches in Adelaide in the space of five days like we had to last year.

    It pizzes me off no end because the fact is our club can boast a very high rate of supporters travelling interstate. Our cheer squad is #1 when it comes to travelling.

    Stick that where it fits, Jono and Gaz 😁

    Just turned on Footscray v Adelaide - best news is that umpire 22 is there today which means he won't be there tomorrow.

    Crows kicking is so good

    their coaches must be great at teaching them how to kick. lol

    Watching Bulldogs vs Adelaide shows how much we miss ANB. His last quarter has been so good. Chasing, tackling and pressure acts.

    And one of the nicest humans you’ll ever meet.

    An absolute disgrace that he’s never won a Brownlow.

    Watching GWS game: i absolutely hate bad umpiring. A Geelong player gets the ball, tackled, drops it, play on. The caller says: he "dropped it but had no prior opportunity."

    WHAAAT???WTF????

    And the amount of pure throwing that the umpires tolerate - not to mention that, without fail, EVERY free paid against a Geelong player is disputed, with no dissent penalty - just gives me the complete s...s.

    Throwing is incorrect disposal

    These Suits should be put in jail for ruining the Game of Australian Rules Football

    • 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.
