    If they gave a point for every throw he's the man

    Two Main Teams the maggots idolise but have given up on favouring. They have now put away the whistle officially on Carlton and Essendon unless we are playing them.

    Doubt it. He’s been a bit better over the last year – since they played him back for a few games last year.

    Thought I heard a dodgy comment last night about him having an Eric–tion during a purple patch in the second quarter. Not sure how that went to air, if in fact I heard it correctly.

    The Age has just published an article about the reported death threat on Michael Voss that got the Collingwood supporter a five year ban.

    The text was:

    “I’d like to report 23 missing persons and pre-emptively report the murder of Michael Voss.”

    The article goes on to suggest that perhaps the AFL have over reacted.

    Sending a "bogus" message to a "report abuse" line is perhaps worthy of censure but a five year ban?

    Now it made sense. The Collingwood supporter was not a would-be criminal but a would-be comedian. It was not a death threat, but a nasty little attempted gag about Carlton’s 23 “missing” players and Voss’s presumably imminent sacking. So the question has to be asked: is a failed joke a reason to ban someone from attending a venue for five years?

    The AFL’s statement said that abuse is abuse “regardless of the intent”. The same applies to the message against abuse. Good intent is not sufficient. Spray it around too loosely or patronise the public with “learning moments”, and the message is wasted. There’s only one [censored] who benefits from that

    Old Dee, I've thought for quite a while, he's overrated full stop. Gets a fair bit of the ball but there's a lot of nothing disposals. Then we're told he's playing a sensational game.

    Do we really think gold coast will get close to Collingwood tonight?

    I tipped them trying to make up some ground and bloody hell everyone above me did to. Should be a cracking game, GC have a crazy amount of talent on their list.

    Hardwick has the GC boys seriously wound up. Let’s see if they can keep the pies scoreless until half time.

    Well played by McCrae for using his annual ‘sickness through the club’ card for this game.

    • 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.
