We haven’t beat the Swans since Dean Bailey was our coach. He’s been dead for four years.

With the side in poor form, and knowing how the Swans own us, i have zero confidence about tomorrow’s match.

    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?

     

     

     

    Adam was playing full back for Tel-Aviv.

    TMac Stretch Hore and Spargo are on the plane.

    No Preuss

    If this is the case, Preuss will have decided that he joined the wrong club given all the pre-season hype about him forming a partnership with Max. He will be disappointed and frustrated.

    If ANB is in the team I will not watch this game. 

    Where you really thinking of watching the game?

    Go for a romantic candlelight dinner, nice music in the background, a very nice red (don't go for value forget the price), TV or mobile not close by. And don't check the result until next day.

    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, itr decision making by the coaching staff.

    It is called desperation!

    Would not be surprised if this is our biggest loss for the year. I honestly think we will be slaughtered.

    Next week the turnaround begins and we start to rebuild confidence in the game plan and each other (players i mean)

    Cant bring myself to watch this game live, thats how little faith i have in the team right now.

    I'm weirdly confident this will be the week we turn things around.

    I'm sure it's completely misplaced. I just don't see how we can play much worse than we have been to date.

    If we can continue on with some consistency then I'm expecting Franklin to kick 12 on Frost, and Oscar to find himself manning someone like Papley who will kick 6 on him by running circles around him.

    Can't wait, should be a corker.

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

    Agree ( so far ).

    @dazzledavey36   what you gonna do if ANB isnt dropped tonight?     Lets see if your dream finally comes true.

  • Quote

    There is almost zero chance of ANB being dropped so don't get your hopes up guys.

    if you are confused as to why - have a look at the Casey game on the weekend

    Excellent point. The lack of depth amplifies why the outlook is so grim. ANB know he will get picked. Selection pressure is a critical factor in keeping players honest. ANB would definitely be dropped if there was an alternative.

    The first game i will watch this week without any distractions or commitments.

    Dees by 27pts.

    Spargo spotted (alongside Stretch) in the airport this morning. Possibly a quick return post-injury, or at least named as an emergency.

    I used to say that back in the Neeld days and look how that turned out.

    Can't believe Jeff was not on the plane! 

    He is the only one with a bit of x factor and knows where the goals are.  His defensive skills can't be any worse than anyone else in the team.

    He was out injured for just a few weeks so how many games at Casey does he need?  Instead we take an undersized, underdeveloped kid who was dropped after one game and recovering from a broken jaw.

    Just don't understand our selection criteria anymore.

    Fear his card has been stamped.

    This was the case last year.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
