they rebuild over an off season and half adozen games...when its still a work in progress for us after 5 years.

They haven't done a re-build.  They have just done a renovation. Unlike a knock down and re-build (which we have been doing since 2006 ?), their foundations haven't been replaced, merely building on what is there. Their true re-build will take place when the likes of Roughhead, Frawley, McEvoy, Burgoyne, Birchall, Gunston, Shiels, Rioli (none are younger than 27) start getting on or retiring.

    Jack Watts seems to be getting back to his old usual self. Now for Bailey to snag 5 this half to top it off.

    Pretty epic final 5 minutes of footy over in Adelaide. I'm not sure to be happy that Adelaide lost or disappointed Port Picked up points to clog up the ladder.

    Im glad Port won. I prefer the logjam than some teams getting a jump and breaking clear for a top 4 spot.

    Adelaide are nothing special.

    The more you watch St Kilda now, the greater Nick Riewoldt’s career gets.

    I guess it all depends on the situation later on in the year. Port losing may have helped us with regards to our finals chances? I guess a lot has to play out first so it's all hypothetical at this stage.

    Haven't seen a match from the new dome in the West before.

    Don't like the cattle fences keeping the crowds back.

    Hope it doesn't become a trend....

    Well spotted. Wow it looks totally horrible. Still.... the players do need to be protected from the crowd in the West. Better than machine gun nests and Sherman tanks i guess...

    Yep WWS:

    AFL is special in the whole crowd thing... like other areas it seems we are losing our innocence.

    Not sure it's necessary but rather it's a reaction to some security anlayst's what ifs.

    Have we ever had a serious crowd invasion incident?

    Off to the World Cup in a couple of weeks .... will be interested to see how the Russians deal with it.

    St Kilda are rubbish. The goal umpire calling a score review on a behind because she felt sorry for them just about sums up their first half. Freo are playing in third gear and still comfortably up.

    The Bomber equivalent of the Richmond microwave could be warming up !

    Nah.   They won’t microwave, just go to a drug dealer and go on a bender.

    If we keep winning I will always go for the lower team beating the higher one.

    • 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.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
