Just surprised the cats aren't getting "tired" yet toward the end of their games, and who coaches them again, ah, that's right.

Same at TWSNBN they won't get tired, they got a good coach too

    Anyone else wondering if North are tanking?

    They have rested/dropped Zeibell/Goldstein.  Now Tarrant is 'injured' in the warm up and a debutante is coming in. 

    I find the gifting a game to Ess nauseating.

    A freebie win to drug cheats Essendon, and then North will bring all their best players back to face us next week.

    That is a weird plan! 

    They have a better chance of beating Ess today than us next week:  We almost beat them in Tassie last year when Goldstein was BOG and is now struggling where ever he plays.  We took it up to them a few months ago and even North supporters say they won because they had a 19th player on their side who was dressed in yellow. 

    I would love that to be Scott's plan and watch it backfire spectacularly when we thrash them.  We are no longer someone's 'bunny'!

    The conspiracy theorist in me says ... no.... it's just the usual MFCSS

    Fascinating though in that we are only one of three teams North plays at Iceberg Park (Hobart). The others were Adelaide and GWS. Yet they played Eagles and Suns at Docklands.

    Another example of our terrible fixture

    Of course they are tanking...

    The Suns must be the most underwhelming club in the league. Still, they knock off the Dogs and that's about curtains for them.

    The only bright thing in that club's future is their name.

    They really should relocate to Tassie.

    It would save everyone money and give the Lions some chance in a really tough market

    Bt actually bought it up on mmm. I don'tthink they are tanking.  

    But reading the herald sun online did Brad give majak a good old fashioned phone spray did he?

    Doggies home against the Suns  with a good win up north.

    Hell that ladder around us is looking so crowded .

    My analysis says we should hope for a draw between Saints and Swans tonight but failing that a close win by the Saints.

    Keeps us one win in front of the Swans who would otherwise pass us on percentage.

    You could make a case that a Saints loss is better but it's so close.

    Not sure who I'm barracking for tonight - Swans or the Saints.  I don't think it matters too much though as I think the Swans might give them a touch up.

    I am hoping for a tough encounter with numerous injuries / reports and a 1 point win to Sydney.

    Just sat down to watch the Swans game and found the Australia Plus game is Freo V Hawthorn.

    As that was preceded by Suns v Dogs.... I am not happy

  • Quote

    When Sydney have the ball in tight they don't just panic and handball off straight away, they stop, prop and move to get clear first before disposing.

    Only Jetta, Hannan and Petracca regularly do this for us.

    Saints won the flag the other day against Richmond. Nek minnut Callum Sinclair kicks 3 in a half.

    Honestly, I can't see Sydney doing anything other than winning this year's premiership. They just do not look like losing now they have their best players back.

    Hawks could do us a favour if they keep up their form.

    Next two games are against Swans and Toiges.

    Agree... Swans looking ominous and could easily end up 4th at the end of home and away

    you make a good point but remember a few years back where the SA supporters didn't turn up for the first final because they were saving their money for the bigger finals to come.

    Geelong will argue that the extra revenue from finals games is part of their stadium business case.

    Other clubs should simply say ... ok but we want 50% of the seats offered to non Geelong members. If that were to happen the Geelong members would soon be screaming for the game to be moved.

    That's exactly what would happen as the AFL owns the gates/stadium for the finals.

    Is it all over for NIck. Watching tonight's game I have seen him get two hand balls.

    And the Saints still rely on both of them, proving they are fools gold and a team going nowhere.

    Also Callum Sinclair is gonna kick 10 goals on them.

    Classic St.Failure.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
