The Melbourne derby had a lot of bad luck post 2016, especially the MCG games, i recall the very next one was like a 44 degree day and kept many away, then one was reduced to a 25% match due to inclement weather and one may have been a washout, then both teams started to suck and it didnt...

Outside of derbies against Melbourne City the Victory have been getting under 10k and they're actually winning. The Storm are the only remotely relevant non afl sports team here. 17k to watch essentially an under 13s grade team is about 17k too many. The stadium actually needs to be completely...

They were regular finalists. Finals chokers sure but they actually use to win a lot of games. Now its just rubbish.

Yet 17,000 still turned up tonight, and lets face it everyone that goes knows they have no hope of winning. The MCG tenant whatever they're called simply cant be this uncompetitive year after year. Maybe a rebrand and start from scratch is needed. The MCG would be rocking with a good team like...

The Victorian state team was a powerhouse short format team prior to the formation of the bbl. The early year Stars teams were quality that had the mcg rocking allbeit finals chokers, the Renegades even won one. The problem is garbage recruitment, the Stars are on the verge of losing to a...

I dont think the bbl can ever reach its maximum potential/interest if the 2 Melbourne teams are garbage year after year. Its genuinely hurting the competition imo.

Hawks had way more quality on the list in 2004, they absolutely failed but from memory that was the year when Schwab came out in pre season and said they'd push for the flag, many bought into it as well.

Pagans paddock!

This is like watching the men in the 90s

46-0

the stubborness of the afl never ceases to amaze me, a 3pm start is not safe even if its 1 degree under the threshold.

Random info but Richmonds Caitlyn Greiser and her family are huge North fans, often front row at Marvel.

Would anyone care either way? Its hardly scandalous. Its a team sport at the end of the day.

Its a pretty common name in Greece.

In the 70s the majority of the Greek population was in the Northern suburbs, Oakleigh and those surrounds hadnt had the influx yet.

I think they were the best team in it, we would have been more competitive though. I had them beating Geelong by between 50-100, was no surprise.

Are they going to introduce promotion/relegation?

Not really comparable. Carlton finished 5th 2 years before Malthouse. This was always going to be a slow burn.

Who would have thought after the 2-0 start in 2020. I remember going into Covid thinking we were on the right track.

Seeing him on midweek tackle last week all enthusiastic and talking about the finals, smiling and genuinely enjoying himself....to this. Its gut wrenching, RIP Sam.

Well an extra million people live in Melbourne now lol

In 2014 i think 5 finals were played at the G and none of them reached 80k, this includes Essendon v North (bombers first chance at finals win in a decade) and hawks v cats.

Saw the last quarter of the battle of the bell. Have Preston lost all their supporters? Seemed like they were heavily outnumbered by Coburg fans.

The afl would be breathing a sigh of relief with the current Freo collapse as the Dogs and Hawks could be looking at an MCG clash week 1 of finals. A couple dodgy results away from the G not getting anything until the GF.

The crazy thing about Djokovic is that he actually called it at the start of the year that the Olympics was his main objective. To take on all that pressure and then deliver when it counts is trully goat worthy. Hasnt lost at Roland Garros this year either.

Happy to conceed now. Well and trully the Goat and capped off with a Goat performance. How did he survive that 4-4 game in the 1st set?

I think you can get those 2 games, dont think its enough though.

Think they're locked in for 9th unless they beat Brisbane at the Gabba. 2 wins likely not enough.

The transformation of the ladder in recent times is staggering. At one stage it looked like Collingwood, Carlton and Essendon could all potentially get double chances. Now we may not even get a prelim at the G!

Afl must be petrified with the declining form of the pies, blues and bombers.
