Happy with Ang but dubious about where it might lead. 

Mourinho, Antonio and whoever else has been in the chair since Poch has been unable to properly loosen Levy's purse strings (Poch couldn't do it either), so there's no reason to expect that will change now. The owners seem content to be contending / qualifying for CL, rather than seriously chasing silverware.

Talk at the moment has 3/4 of the squad being shipped out, and if Kane goes too, then a rebuild is basically on the cards - something which probably should have started a few seasons back.

    Moyes was the wrong man for the united job and it set his managerial career into a downward spiral.

    Seeing his celebration and raw emotion after winning his first major trophy hit me in the feels a little.

    Football is about moments and unbridled passion and the Hammers win this morning was in abundance of that.

    Congrats to City, I can't/don't want to say anything else about it but the Treble is a massive achievement.

    Bring on the Summer transfer market.

    I'll be taking an active interest in the Women's World Cup.  Might get to a game or 3 if work permits

    Matilda's need to start well ... the other 3 teams in our group are Ireland, Nigeria & Canada

    From what I can gather, the top 10 teams are as follows ...

    USA, England, Spain, Germany, Australia

    France, Sweden, Netherlands, Brazil, Canada

    Starts July 20th so just over a month away

    Arsenal closing in on Declan Rice with the fee believed to be in the region of £105 mil. Huge outlay but a small price to pay if it keeps them in the title race.

    Big night for the Matilda's tonight in front of an enormous TV audience

    The team has a huge following and a win tonight would bring an even bigger following

    The question is ... will Sam Kerr play? 

    Go Matilda's Go Go Go!!

    Pretty good first half. Great trap and pass by Fowler to set up that goal.

    Terrible coverage to not be showing all of the finals on FTA

    I agree ... and CH7 will be kicking themselves now as the TV audiences have been enormous

    And yes, a world class through-ball by Fowler.  And then the nutmeg by Foord upon scoring!

    That's a tremendous win to the Matilda's ... we played very well and needed to

    And ran out the game well, too good for Denmark

    Sam Kerr gets some vital minutes so augers well for Sam & the team for their next encounter ... 5.00pm Saturday vs France or Morocco.  An ideal lead-in to our clash with the Blues on Saturday evening

    Definitely opened up a bit with the eliminations of Germany, USA, Brasil.

    Japan/Spain have impressed me the most this tournament. predicting a Spain vs England final. 

    But knockout football, anything can happen.

    I want to like soccer, I really do. I see the appeal and the skill.

    But watching Japan vs Sweden tonight and I'm yet again left frustrated with the game.

    Penalties for players falling over their own feet, players carrying on like they've been shot after incidental boot on boot contact, or any contact for that matter.

    Umpires calling time with a whistle, yet allowing play to continue some seconds or minutes past the end and injury time. 

    So much is ripe for corruption, and poor umpiring in one moment in the game can decide the outcome.

    All on board the Matilda train but beyond that soccer will fade into the ether for me.

    Will you ever see a better goal? 

    Foord in acres of space. I was fuming for about a split second when she took the shot.

    That bald guy on the bench for England looks like he's crafting an evil plot.

    He should have a white cat on his lap.

    That 3rd goal for England clinches it you'd reckon

    Sam's had 2 more great chances but couldn't finish

    Need a miracle now

    Nice run Matildas

    England have made the most of their chances.

    Thought Fowler had a fantastic tournament for us.

    Glad they're finally getting the recognition they've deserved for many years punching way above their weight.

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
