I haven't been able to watch all of it but I think we have a new Dom Tyson- Stretch. I've seen 3 passes direct to a Collingwood player. PLease!

    Thanks for all the updates to those who were there or who could watch on the live stream.  Much appreciated.

    Good to see a positive outing to warm up for the real stuff and to come away with no injuries or major concerns.

    I can hear the jungle drums....DON'T STAND IN FRONT OF PREUSS!!! 

    Can you imagine dropping into the gap in front of Preuss on the lead. FMD let him have it.

    Preuss and Vanders are going to have more victims than Fred and Rose.

    I like the commentators call that if he found himself ‘in the hole in front of Braydon Preuss he couldn’t run out of it quick enough’. I would do the same

    Dees Win ???

     

    Melbourne 11 - 6 - 72

    Collingwood 7 - 6 - 48

     

    Is there to be a repeat screening, we missed it due to commitments - and I am sure that others will have missed the game, as well?

    Bloke at work who plays VFL reckons Marty Hore is an absolute jet and will fit in seamlessly to the AFL game. Hopefully can hold down Lever's spot until he returns and then who knows.

    None that were seen or reported on by the commentators.

    This is just an assumption, but I'd wager they may put together a highlights package of the game, such as all the goals, later on in the day.

    All looked fine. Watched them leave the ground, just looked tired

    Thanks, Wise! I'd hoped that there would be some comment and depth, including a re-screening on the MFC site.

    Pretty sure there will be a full replay available on the website later today

    We have now beaten the Pies twice (out of 2) at their two home grounds in three weeks. Eddie and filth supporters must be dirty. Go both teams!

    So Preuss Rd 1?

    I'd have him in the best 22. He is dangerous and scares the shhit out of the opposition. The other advantage is that he can kick. A lock for me.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
