Honestly SaberFang, today p155ed me off. We're lining up to praise Paul Roos after we've been belted by 111 points. It's a cricket score. And there are clubs above us (considerably so) who will now get better players into their clubs. Equalisation is a crock.

Thank God for Richmond is all I can say. I'd still rather support our rabble than theirs!

    Especially considering they've consistently played finals for so many years, but never gained any traction off it. It seems to be across the board though, even Collingwood, Carlton and Richmond fans have given up attending.

    What do you expect with the same [censored] teams in the top 4 every bloody year?

    Any chance GWS might get a free kick?

    The AFL has ignored real supporters and traditional clubs for too long now. And it's becoming clearer that supporters are less likely to go if they can't see the next year being much different to the last. Eventually it will catch up on the league or at least I hope it does.

    The afl has forgotten that clubs sell hope.

    Hope that your team can win today.

    Hope that your team will play finals

    Hope that if things go your way you might snatch a flag

     

    Now we hope for 7 wins. Or for finals in a few years.

    Brisbane fans hope for finals in 3 or 4 years.

    Why bother going if theres no hope of any succcess except in the extremely long term?

    No one is gonna go if they are just hoping for a loss by less than 10 goals.

    Is it purely Etihad shithole that people are tired of attending or is the 'G down this year as well?

    I noticed Sportsbet went early during the week offering odds for the first weeks off the finals, they didn't factor in West Coast beating the Crows last night. The way it's going is 

    Swans v Giants 

    Cats v Hawks

    Crows v North 

    Eagles v Dogs

    So North end up losing both of their final 2 games, as predicted. Won't just be our club kicking themselves for throwing away a chance at 8th spot.

    Even if the Saints made it they would face a Adelaide at home. A tough assignment at the best of times.

    North supporters on Thursday 'how could they do this to our champions?'

    North supporters on Saturday '...I'm not actually going to go to the game'

    There's a noticeably better on-field attitude at the Giants than with our kids. Certainly no sulking from their key forwards, they just get on with it.

    Starting to wonder if this is a coaching problem and nobody wants to bring Hogan to account. His body language is pathetic and surely brings teammates down with him.

    I'm worried they confuse his juvenile behaviour as a sign of competitiveness. And thus it's somehow acceptable, provided it's kept in moderation.

    Wow I wonder if the nth fans protested by not showing up. 22,000 in your final game when your team is playing finals. Anyway it was a good game to footy to watch. havent really sat down to watch GWS. But they were just to good for nth. Not a happy week for nth fans.

    Anyway richmond thanks for going out in sympathy with us and also cop a belting. I wonder if Richmond will cop more of a pasting than our loss. Because our coach has now gone and we are now into our succession plan. But Dimma is still there and keeps talking up his list and saying next year they will play finals.

    Geelong must be regretting letting S. Johnston go. He's the icing on the cake for GWS.

    Lucky he didn't play against us, there would have been an abundance of icing.

    • 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.

      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.
