Attacking the ball (like May was doing) and a player knocked out in the contest for the ball. Someone has to get three weeks here. The ball was high in the air and players were almost stationary, so they could have easily pulled out of the contest.

    Carlton back to regularly scheduled programming when they’re not versing us, I see

    Versing - love it.

    That’s what my son used to say.

    30 years ago.

    I still do!

    They’ll never admit it but AFL HQ must be horrified, and panicked. The season has been over for literally half the competition for months, and the fixture couldn’t have been more poorly designed. Thursday night in particular has had 8 weeks of games that have been over at half time.

    This season is a stinker, and I’m genuinely surprised it’s not been a much bigger story.

    Yes they don’t have to admit it.

    Because they answer to nobody.

    HQ get their big salaries anyway.

    Laughing all the way to the next overseas trip.

    The dogs have made a habit of smashing bottom teams.

    with the way their midfield spreads from stoppage, its got me worried about our game against them.

    So Sam Taylor was reckless? Or intentional?

    Not sure why there is two games on at the same time on a Friday night but as it turns out the AFL got lucky with the schedule.

    Great game in Sydney, finals-like. Intense, skillful, fast. I will have one Cadman and one Heeney to go please. Oh, and chuck in Hogan.

    doggies bombers a nothing game

    If the Dees can't make it, I hope the Doggies or Freo can. And it is NEVER a nothing game watching the Bummers getting a hiding.

    bloods looking the goods against gw$

    Having a good run from the umpires though (9-3 free kicks). Some very soft and questionable frees in there. But agree, they’re looking good.

    No way AFL want Greene rubbed out but he should be. Lack of replays nothing to see here. It was a Maynard like effort.

    Just a bit ump bias for the Swans. No htb call, no deliberate call, no high in that last play. I smell a rat

    Briggs being slaughtered by the umps. Grundy getting away with murder.

    GWS player lying on Heeney after bringing him down in a tackle. GWS player receives a free kick for holding the ball then Greene comes in, after the free kick was paid and the game was stopped and lays an elbow blow into the back of Heeney’s head. It was 100% intentional, he should definitely get at least two weeks, but agree that he won’t.

    Tom ‘crazy eyes’ Papley the most punchable player in the game?

    Hawthorn have a few candidates.

    I reckon GWS will get close in the second half but yeah, the umps are giving the vibes they'll get the swans over the line.

    Good game to watch. Should be a good finish

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
