Me too 'Macca'...

Tribute bands for a start, I will never understand that one.

I would not be surprised if the match rates well but if that does happen, then what?

I reckon there will be more questions asked in the aftermath, rather than beforehand

That almost makes it official ... it's a 'Friendly'

Not that I have an issue with an exhibition of the best plying their wares. But hopefully, we'll get to see way less congestion and the players playing in their positions (that's a big ask!)

And if the match draws a large TV & Streaming audience, so be it

Funny you say that 'Macca', I totally agree. It's a friendly.

Could you imagine the NRL putting these restrictions on???

Whateley this morning was still talking it the whole thing up...saying how the players were all in etc...

...flogging a dead horse I reckon.

Yep, the footy public isn't easily fooled. However, it could garner a large audience despite not being a fair-dinkum match

To me the timing is right and a large percentage of footy fans just love their footy no matter how it's packaged. They can't get enough of it

So it's about how the masses react, not what certain individuals might think

Those aged under the age of 30 hold the key

Possibly aggravated the arm in that shoot?

I reckon it will be a success because cricket is done and people haven't had any football for quite a while

I see the chef still hasn't been selected for the VICS.

Might be a bruise to the ego.

oh no. anyway


We're in Kuta, Bali for our 1 year anniversary and we're thinking it would be great to watch Max and Koz run around tomorrow at a sports bar. I can see lots of options around bit wondering if anyone can recommend a good one to go to

 

If Kossie or Max get injured at this nonsence match I will be throwing up for weeks.

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • PREGAME: Fremantle

    After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
