Saints were stiff but that's footy, happens to the best.

bombers look dangerous but I don't know if it's their skill or the emotions they're playing on. I had most of my essendon mates banging on about they they're going to make the eight and such pre-season. I really don't want them to be right.... like... really

Seven never pass up an opportunity to broadcast a game with Essendon, Collingwood, Richmond, Hawthorn, Carlton or Geelong playing.

Interstate clubs and smaller Vic clubs are like lepers to Seven.

stop playing the victim card! 7 will play whatever makes them money.... if we win games then they have to give us these slots. simple

I know what you mean, they'll be insufferable if they make the 8. Really don't want that to happen. 

Saints were unlucky this week, actually very similarly to how we lost to the eagles last year. Inaccuracy and the umpires torched them, eagles just did enough when it counted. It's a shame the umpires need to be able to hear in order to catch things like touched off the boot, otherwise I'd say they should look into noise cancelling technology to cut out the crowd. Zero doubt it has a massive influence on their decision making and any umpire that tells you otherwise is lying.

Maverick Weller is surely the ugliest man in footy. 

Then I switch the channel and see Lingy.

Was flicking between the Lions/Bombers and the Eagles/Saints games and there were some shocking haircuts in both.

Checking your Avatar, do you really think that you are qualified to comment on hair cuts??

I will say it now Garry JR does not care anymore, Gold coast has no injures so they got nothing to blame, there is a reason why two NRL clubs have failed there a A league team failed, no football team will play well there,  and wow 8000 to a AFL game GWS might win the flag but no one will care.

umm, not that simple.  You have to have a large number of supporters to seduce Ch 7 and the advertising $. Winning games over decades is required to get those numbers.

There's a definite pattern emerging in the AFL this season.

The clubs that are getting an extraordinary run from the umpires are -

Western Bulldogs;

West Coast Eagles and

• Greater Western Sydney.

See what's happening?

I have the answer.

Change the name of the club to the West Melbourne Demons.

Do it now PJ!!!

Wow. Just wow. Anyone see Ablett's jog then?

Didn't watch yesterday's game but if it's the same incident that you noticed, ch9 showed the footage of a seemingly disinterested Ablett on the Sunday footy show this morning.

I'd hate to see a player like Ablett jr lay down the tools.  We see it quite a bit in pro-sports around the world primarily because of the big dollars that are 'guaranteed'.

3Qtr time:  Port 117, Freo 46.  Freo never had much offensive, now they don't even have defence nor contested game

Lyon may have a long contract but that won't save him.  Freo have deep pockets and they showed their ruthlessness when they sacked Harvey and in the dark of night poached Lyon. 

World of pain for all.  It may be just enough to lose Fyfe.

Freo are absolutely shite, they conceded 10.6 from turnovers in the first half kicking 0.1 themselves from the same source. Genuinely strike me as worse than Carlton and likely to collect the spoon. Not sure if there is a precedent either (Judd aside) for a team captain to leave his club as an RFA- even in his case there were few causes for complaint from Weagles fans given he captained them to a flag, Fyfe walking out on the club when they're in the shitter will set them back a long time.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
