    We will win this not because we are on a roll or the Saints are not as good as us but because we now have players with better skills who are not mentally damaged.

    Like I said...

    To me there is still an element of lack of confidence if the mindset isn't right. And we are still prone to awful errors that lead to turnovers and help feed a poor mindset. We have improved, undoubtedly. But there will still be hiccups with this crew. 

     

     

    Lotto numbers please..:unsure:

    Just PM me ;)

    Another inside Mid which kinda means that you have options tpo use another player on the outside which is where we got smashed!

    You don't mind calling me a child and if that is your response then put up a credible one yourself re selection oh oracle of the ages!!

    Now just to show you what I mean, If IF we had of won many on this site would have said Jesse Hogan made the difference! As it was would St. Kilda have won without Reiwoldt?? I doubt it!

    Food for thought Oracle I await your Response with interest

    I am out of the country for the next two games AF so how does this grab you?

    A win this week followed by a loss the following.

    We can beat  GCS they have been devastated by injury and the Dogs have too much talent for us.

    Realistic, but I reckon we might give them both a run for their money. You could argue the Dogs are hamstrung (pun intended) by injuries as well. As someone else mentioned, I'd say we're more likely to win the next two and then get run off our feet by a quicker Brisbane team.

    We're very much on track for finals if we can win 2 of the next 3 though.

    Sorry AF I find that hard to agree to. We are a ten win team this year you saw on Saturday that we can still be very ordinary.

    We have a much improved list but still have a lot of wet behind the ears kids who need another couple of years before they propel us into finals games.

    Please tell me who miraculously makes the transition to becoming an outside player because we brought in another inside player.

    Your argument has merit if you say we should have brought in Billy Stretch as he is pure outside run but as we got smashed on the outside Oliver would not have been answer to that.

    Brayshaw gets more outside ball than Oliver does ( and I'm not saying Brayshaw should have played either)

    Agreed. But if we do get to the 12 game mark, judging by the tightness of the competition this year, that could get us in. And don't worry, I'm with you, we'll certainly have games that we lose where those younger players will run out of gas and our 'leaders' will fail to stand up.

    Play Bernie HBF and release Lamumba upfield! Oliver plays as a mid!

    Another option Hunt plays also as an outside runner upfield!! 

    Plenty of options there!

    • 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?
