How do you come to that conclusion wyl?

Seems to me we have one of the better ones.

Not saying it is necessarily the easiest but looks fairly good to me.

The Mileage we cover must be factored in stronger than what it is....it is not the only factor, but travel fatigue does occur

    Then how come WCE seem to have very little problem last year.

    How come Brisbane won 3 in a row.

    How come Sydney played in 2 GF's in a row and won 1 and lost the other by less than a goal to the WCE.

    It seems to me that good sides win and poor sides don't.

    There may be a small amount of problem but it seems to me it is a handy excuse.

    Oh we had to go all the way to Perth last week and we were so tired this week.

    We had better get a grasp of the problem if it is that big or we will be wandering in the wilderness forever.

    you are not factoring in all the "Juice" those teams used....do you remember all the syringes that were in the Brisbane rooms when Lethal was there?

    Twice any other team....Travel is a factor, not saying we don't have to master it.

    Not sure if I mentioned Noble Game at 3.20 today, sunday, at Sale. Should go close to winning.

    Man of Awe at 1.35 Tuesday at Stawell. First start.

    Maybe Noble Game doesn't like wet feet Redleg, good luck on tuesday.

    Mate I think we are having the same discussion we have had before.

    I am sure we are just discussing degrees.

    I think we are going to agree to disagree on this one.

    Unless he is injured, it was a pathetic run. Hopefully tuesday will be better.

    By golly you're right.

    I think I might start a thread on that very subject.

    Just saw the GWS calendar setup on the news and Sheeds had Ward and Davis beside him. Captain and Vice Captain or Co Captains?

    I think that is a fairly short bet RL

    Davis was considered not long after news of going to GWS/leaving Adelaide as captain material.

    Both Davis and Ward are fine young, honest men and would be capable of leading the new club.

    That may well be so Redleg, but the D'Land ministry of Cultural Enlightenment and Propaganda has decreed that anything and anyone associated with GW$ must be mercilessly castigated, vilified and denounced at every possible opportunity. Your Forum expects every Poster to do his duty. Remember, loose lips sink ships.

    GWS intraclub game tonight at Moore Park in Sydney @ 6.30pm.

    I hope the condition of the ground's improved since I last was there. In the late 80s I would not have played the under 16s there!

    One of those Under 16's picked up Voldemort last night and even tackled him one or two times.

    Things are going well out there at Bleaktown.

    Black Caviar, what can you say? Possibly the best this country has produced. Untouched and runs them off their feet. I feel privileged to have seen her run. Wow. I just feel so excited and it gives me hope of getting another good horse one day, one that I can think about all day, in between thinking about my grand daughter and the MFC.

    And now for something completely different !

    Mark Twain visited our shores ( as well as India , New Zealand etc ) around the end of the 19th century and wrote a book about it .

    This book is out in the public domain . You could bookmark it and read it at your leisure .

    I am reading Wild Horses, a book by Dick Francis, with as usual, his use of the horse racing world as an ingredient.

    I can see us resting a few players in the opening NAB cup and playing all of the rookies that are fit.

    i was wondering about this, will we go about the NAB sup the usual way by playing the younger brigade and experimenting or will it be used as valuable experience in learning the new game plan/structures etc. It feels odd to say this about the pre season comp but i think i would be dissappointed if we didnt play our best available side even with the risk of injuries or whatever

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
