The luck in footy.

Lever goes out for 2 months, for what we thought was a 1 week ankle injury.

Stewart returns against us, to control the Cotton Ons backline and then pulls out tonight sick.

    Stewart available for one round in between issues. Dangerfield not being suspended for yet another elbow to the throat, and then confounding our defence. Such is life. Just Geelong's captain and vice-captain playing probably their best individual games for the season.

    Wouldn't have minded if Coniglio had been managed sore for round 1 instead of being played as a permanent forward, given he has only played in half the Giant's games. He was a matchwinner against us for sure.

    But aside from lamenting the cruelty of the footy gods, it looks like as a team we have a major problem with veteran strong-bodied mids being sent forward.

    Touk Miller kicked three as the Gold Coast mids romped through for about ten goals between them.

    The North game is about the only one not defined by midfielders kicking goals against us, and even then, well, plenty of mids and mid-sized players kicked goals against us, it was just incidental on top of everyone else kicking goals against us that day.

    Today’s result will be interesting.

    A hope for a revival or possibly season over.

    Membership numbers could be seriously affected too.

    Season been over for us since round two. I still feel that the 2028 AFL is a better time for us.

    But on a brighter note West Perth has done well by recruiting a former Casey player. The young fella looks like he can play.

    Roan Steele looks like a great loss to Casey, but a fantastic addition to West Perth. He looks like he can play lol

    Didn't get to see a lot of him at Casey but do recall he finds a lot of footy.

    Reckon he'd make an AFL list DemonFrog?

    Only seen him play on streaming, can't wait to see him play live once they stop playing at 7.10 pm. It takes me about 1h 30m to drive to Joondalup Oval, well the wife driving as I have mobility issues.

    I think he must have come West to enhance his chances to play AFL. What I have seen so far is exciting 😁 Unfortunately West Perth no longer has any AFL players so if he gets recruited he will be gone.

    A fresh rabbit hole for this peripatetic thread.

    Allow me to kick it along the road:

    We were in a (TV) movie, foreshadowing (wrongly, thank God) the aftermath of the Round 6 Freo game.

    'Crisis in Six Scenes'

    We have a new CEO.

    Unfortunately he has no football industry knowledge other than being involved in sponsorship and he doesn't know when he can start work. But the current Acting CEO is doing a great job so he not needed right away.

    Then why didn't we appoint the current Acting CEO? Then club needs stability not another inexperienced trainee in the top job.

    Paul is very experienced. Even Eddie was glowing in his praise.

    He can't be that experienced as he has never managed a football club before. A strong leader has a solid understanding of the industry they manage. Oh well, time will tell if he any good or not, but I have a feeling we lost another opportunity.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
