I won't do a daily countdown because they can get boring, but only 28 days to our Nab cup start.

    WJ any info on where Waylen Mansen ended up after missing selection in the drafts.

    Also I am keen to see how Hall goes with the Lions as he was another that many including myself wanted rookied.

    Very little known about him since the drafts. His NTFL team Waratah has only won one game since winning the first six on the trot and that was against chopping block Darwin. This has occurred after Manson, Fevola and Pettifer stopped playing. I suppose it's what happens when you have mercenaries who aren't totally dedicated to the cause at a club.

    Do I detect a "go" at a very new AFL club North of the Murray and West of Sydney?

    Le Beau Cheval any relation to Vite Cheval - Good horse in its day

    Based on this tipster's past record it might be a good idea to avoid both like the plague.

    Hahaha!! "Walk Away..."

    Whilst on horse racing. Redleg, do you give any hope for any runner against Black Caviar as she steps up to the 1400m in the Futurity Stakes and Orr Stakes and perhaps end Black Caviar's run of 18 wins ?

    Pinker Pinker, I think is in the Futurity Stakes ...

    On her disclosed form she would have no difficulty at the 1400. Given she wins hands and heels easily I would imagine that unless she is not herself or is injured she would win. I don't say that however would necessarily be the case over longer trips.

    She has never felt the whip and has hardly been tested and has never been pushed out to win, but rather always eased down. She accelerates in a flash without effort and puts 4-5 lengths on the field effortlessly. She is a sensational sprinter and one of the best ever in the world. We are privileged to have seen her.

    Green and Moloney must be extremely disappointed. Our most passionate player, who just happens to be the current club B & F doesn't even make the leadership group of 8. I can see some resentment against the new Coach.

    Last year means nothing to the new coach, & nor it should.

    I have no problems with the Coach stamping his mark on the club as it is his head on the block. I just point out there are going to be a few boys who will be upset with his call.

    Tittles don't mean anything when your out on the ground. Beamer will always give 100% and will probably see it as a challenge.

    So as a coach, do you select players for their leadership qualities, or because they'll be upset if they miss out?

    Is that a serious question? I was just pointing out that we will have some unhappy players in the group. If that unhappiness manifests itself in form or attitude or behaviour it will need addressing, that is my point.

    By the same criteria Rivers would also be weeping into his weetbix. No one's saying much about him though.

    Edit: point being that 2011 leaders failed.

    Don't forget Flash, who carries the indigenous leadership hopes and was suggested by many to be Captain last year.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
