The Greater Western Shambles

Hidden within that article is this accolade

winning just 10 of 60 quarters this season and three 100-point-plus losses during the past 10 rounds has been disappointing. Insiders put that down to the players missing popular development coach Mark Williams,

Thought it worth noting .

Does anyone else think it's a disgrace that GWS keep talking about keeping/trading THEIR number 1 pick when there's still 7 games to go in the season? If MFC did this we'd be hit with another $500k fine...

Before we beat the dogs and they lost to the dogs I would've agreed. They were only 1 game and a touch of percentage behind and had games against the dogs and us to come. But not now. They really only have one more game they can win - the one against us!

Besides us they have Ess, Coll, Fre, Rich and then trips North to play Bris and GC. That's 4 top 7 teams and the two queensland teams who will be pretty hungry to beat them.

They are certainly managing their list and developing players in different roles and doing a lot of things to take the focus off the score board though. Yet you'll find when they play us they (like us) will develop the game like a grand final and play all their best players available in their best positions.

But surely the aim is to win games, if you're not trying to win then we all know what that's called....

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
