Speaking of racing, any chance I could get a double, Casey and Richmond.

granny in Warrnambool yesterday think abbott picked the dogs

Hamden league elim today=cobden vs nth warrnambool

 

And then there was recruiting. Or as it could be called, "pin the tail on the donkey".

I am sure Redleg that if they had used that method we would have been better off.

There was an even simpler method. Pick the most popular selection on Demonland at each round and we would have several more AFL standard players on the list.

It is astounding that a series of "professional" recruiters could get it so badly wrong.

I would imagine that Gysberts will be delisted by North.

Do you mean AFL and WAFL?

Sorry but I just pumped as Claremont finished 4 or 5 games clear as minor Premiers and traditionally they beaten us in finals plus the game was played at their home ground.

Stan Heal (1941) played 8 games for Melbourne including the Grand Final win. Stan was rated the third best in the Demons Grand Final victory. One week later he returned to the West and because he only went East because of his service in the Navy (National Service) he was entitled to re-join West Perth and take the place of one of their injured players. West Perth also won their 1941 Grand Final.

Stan Heal was a champion West Perth player who was good enough to play in any league.

Of course Stan Heal. How could I forget it was only 72 years ago.

I Have bigger issues to worry about . My most disliked side is now still in the finals after being gifted a spot and falling in in their last game.

Please Swans do the right thing.

IMO It would be so funny if Carton ends up winning the Flag, poor little Messendon.

Although, I know what you mean as my second most disliked team is still in the Finals and have a home game final. Although my most disliked team has been knocked out already.

(Freo & Collingwood)

But on a lighter note the team I have supported for about 42 years (I have only been around for 45 years myself) is in the Grand Final and could win its first Premiership since 2003. I only been supported the MFC since 1999, when I stop supporting the WCE as a result of the destruction of the WAFL completion.

I really feel for all the long term MFC supporters who may have never seen their Club win a Flag. Although as much as this season really sucks but maybe it was needed to give the Club a real chance at a Grand Final victory within the next five to ten years.

The recruiters of a few years ago.

The recruiters of a few years ago.

thought they looked familiar !! :)

 

I have watched this year with interest some of our rejects from the last couple of years.

Below is my view which I am not claiming is perfect because I was out of the country a couple of times and may have missed a item or two.

Martin played a couple of games at Brisbane but basically no impact.

Gysberts played a few good games for Werribee but no senior games for North

Morton played a couple of games for WCE with nil impact, little impact for East Perth.

Bennell little impact anywhere but that be harsh as he was out with a knee injury the first half of the year.

Petterd Actually played well for Richmond good pick up by the Tigers.

Cook Vanished without trace

Bate disappeared into the Essendon VFL team without much mention

Maric Vanished without trace

Based on their form only Petterd seems to have been an error.

The rest have performed as they did with the MFC.

Says lots about selection.

IMO they have shown us that development or the lack of it had much to do with these guys non results.

Just bloody poor selections in the first place.

That was also my view on the development / recruiting issue. None have improved elsewhere.

Beamer and Ricky were the best two this year and they didn't play better with their new clubs.

It just reinforces my view that recruiting is the single most damning stuff up.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
