Believe it or not but I had Collingwood as a second team back in the mid seventies. Under Tom Hafey they played a good game of football.

Don't worry I saw the light in 1988 when abused by a little old lady magpie supporter for cheering a Melbourne win.

Since then GWS has been my second team. For a while they were like a fantasy football league

    He signs his name with #34, that says to me he's coming our way. I'm more confident now than I was last year.

    Yep 

     

    He’ll be a Dee barring some late winds change — ie upheaval or sudden major decline that looks unrecoverable.. but can’t see that as even IF absolute worst happened & we lost Trac, Clarry, Max next year and even Kos, I honestly blv the haul we’d gain in conjunction with our young talent means it’d be a 2-4yr skid at most! But my current feeling is that this group now is closest thing we’ve had talent and fitness wise to our 2021 group, line by line, 90% doing 90% of pre season etc so of course that can all change but KW a demon is about $1.27 for mine 😉

    Call me paranoid, but I fear the AFL will pull some sort of swiftly on us, again. 
    Q: is it paranoid when you know actually and truthfully they are out to get you?

    I am confident he will end up with us. However, he is a young and skinny,  and I really don't see him being a good AFL player until about 2028  - he will need to fill out, and learn the senior game. This is absolutely not a knock on him, but you can't be a ruckman or a key position player until you have some weight and strength.

    If he does, we’ve hit the jackpot. Sam Darcy will be the best player in the game within the next 2 years. He also progressed extremely quickly for a tall.

    Perhaps you may need some sort of counselling. It couldn’t happen again. Look at it from a half glass full not empty. 

    It was a dreadful act by the AFL and some compensation should have come our way.

    Counseling  for paranoia never helps, because the counselors are really part of the plot and are out to get you 🙄

    Sam Darcy was drafted in 2021, he only just started coming on last season so it's taken him a few years to get to the level.

    Still feel we needed to draft or trade in a ruckman in the 22-26 age bracket ready to take over from Max in a couple years, even if we get this kid it's ganna take time

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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?
