We probably should have gone after him instead of getting Melksham.

    Fairly confident that back then Choke it would not have mattered where you went footy clubs were very blokey places.

    Most have since changed substantially but not so much at Carlton it would seem.

    That's probably true, but it wasn't THAT long ago. This was around 1998/1999. I can still remember the big difference in between sitting the Carlton members and the Dees.

    They were both 'blokey', but one felt intimidatingly so. The rage the Carlton members displayed towards their own team was amazing, and it's the reason I stopped going with him. Although loud and sometimes angry, I can't remember the Dees fans being nearly so abusive.

    Well we are a more civilised group Choke those to the  North tend be less so.

    Seriously 1998 is 18 years ago things have change quite a bit in that time.

    True.

    I guess what I'm trying to say is Carlton supporters suck and Dees supporters don't.

    Oh absolutely Shorts is a gun

    But Jeff aint far behind him if he can just straighten up those shots at goal. 

    Does he actually run too fast to have steady aim when kicking??

    so easily could have dobbed 60 goals last season. 

    Misses often by centimetres!

    stats and more damned stats - however

    Jeffy scored 71 times and shorts 88 times for the season

    Adelaide were second best in the the AFL for inside 50's  - av 55 - We were 3rd worst with 44.

    Adds weight to your argument on how good Jeffy could have been if he could have kicked a few more and we got it inside 50 with more regularity. ( on the flip side  - Shorts has always been a better kick at goal than Jeffy - 66% efficiency vs 59%)

    I definitely agree with this. My uncle was a blues supporter and took me to a bunch of games when I was a kid. I really hated the atmosphere in the members section at Optus Oval. It felt unwelcoming, there was lots of swearing and yelling. It felt intimidating.

    Doesn't surprise me that their female members feel like that too.

    Hey Choke ( or anyone)

    Are you old enough to remember men's only "pleasant Sunday mornings" at the MCG change rooms ? - I went to one when I was a puppy - I guess 40 odd years ago. Lordy lordy - it was during the Barassi era and after it started to unfold Barass who was there excused himself as it was out of control.

    Without going into detail - I did say it was Men's only but there were a couple of females there who "entertained".

    Didn't the Blues have Dave Buttifant as fitness adviser? The same guy who was credited with getting the Pies into finals with Malthouse?

    Interesting, if so, that he wasn't able to stay ahead of the curve or get the Blues to train to the required standards..

    That was a few years ago - have ASADA / WADA become more active in recent years?

    I bet Dennis was hoping he was a few cm the other way, so he could say ..."centimetre perfect"

    He was told that he might be the extra ingredient that Richmond needed to win some finals, and has set his peak for the season accordingly.

    Kind of the reverse of the rest of the Tigers - the goal was to make finals, so then they stop.

    That would be new ground for him - coming from Carlton and all....

    • 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?
