I have a feeling I’ll be crying into my wine by quarter time as Buddy kicks his 17th goal. 

This sounds like the first line of a country and western song.

    How do you test a broken jaw?

    I can think of other years

    when barracking for my team

    was everything a younger fan could do

    I could never see finals

    for there were always better rivals

    How can you mend a broken team

    How can you stop the raining goals

    How can what's begun stop declining

     

    What makes this club go round ?

    How can you mend, this broken team

    How do these losers ever win

    please help them mend this broken start

    and let them play again

     

    I can still taste the Bries

    pass the mussels if you'd please

    and a dusty Sangiovese while I cry

     

    we will never watch'em in finals

    been outplayed by better rivals

    how can you mend a broken team

    how do we stop them falling down

    …....

    I see nothing in Hore that screams he will make it. Poor decision if he is in the side.

    So who is the player from Friday not on the plane? Neal-Bullen?

    Hore and Spargo should be nowhere near the AFL side. At least playing Preuss would give Sydney something different to think about.

    They are taking a kid who had a broken jaw two weeks ago. This is way more serious than I thought.

    Spargo is tough as guts but.

    i'd prefer him out there compared to a lot of others.  even for a kid you generally know what you'll get

    Yes I think he must’ve left him out in the first tweet.

    I heard SEN mention all but Preuss as well though.

    Not discussing how tough he is. Surely it takes longer than two weeks to heal a broken jaw. Has the smell of continuing to playing Smith with a injury in a practice match. Oh that's right we did not think it would get any worse. God deliver me.

    Well combined with the issues around lack of fitness due to pre-season factors, it sounds like it would be a quite justifiable one.   

    Hopefully that is offset/mitigated by Sydney's 5 day break.

    Dark cloud over this team. Seem really bereft of confidence.

    Goodys pressers make it seem he isnt quite sure how it all went wrong or how to fix it.

    Would love if we turned it around, but history shows how poor we are against them... and up there its been how long since we won?

    Spargo wont play unless Hunt or Lockhart are a late withdrawal.

    Or if we want to try a three amigos small forward set up.

    Or if he plays in the midfield (which by the way is his natural position).

    He got dropped and then had his jaw broken in his VFL match. He got dropped for a reason and hasn’t had time to rectify the cause of his  dropping and build form to return to AFL level. If he plays, it’s poor decision making by the coaching staff.

    • 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.

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
