we're coming along in leaps and bounds....golly it's exciting, these times.......

How about we ask the AFL to schedule more home games at Marvel, the SCG and the GABBA!   Might produce a better result on the W/L ledger BZ.  The only downside is i probably wouldn't see many of the interstate wins!

    I could handle it RN. Winning in Brisbane/ Sydney/ Perth is way way way better than losing at the G. Play the GF at the SCG if that is what it takes to win a GF. In fact transfer to Tassie if that will win us a flag. Anything will be better than the last 55 years.

    As I've said for the last few years, with our list and game style we will be much better off and improve our chances of making finals more regularly playing out of Marvel.

    P.S. our success at Marvel isn't coincidental IMO.  Pre Roos era we were rubbish there.  His view/impressions/experience prior coaching experience at the Swans on a ground similar in dimensions.  Game style and list built around winning on that ground.  Brings similar to the MFC.  We start winning more often at Marvel as a result of similar framework, rebuild and 'type' of player recruiting/training and methods.  The GABBA probably most similar in size as well.  100% win record albeit small sample.  Is that just before the bye or all matches since Goody took over ABG?

    Goody inherited a style / list that isn't designed to go all that well on the much larger territory of the G, more success on SCG sized grounds.  And that's how it's panning out.

    Stadium Dimensions:

    SCG:  155 x 136m

    Marvel:  159.5 x 128.8m

    MCG:  173.6 x 148.4m

    Optus: 165m x 130m

    Adelaide Oval:  167 x 123m

    GABBA:  156 x 138m

    Metricon:  161 x 134m

    Giants Stadium:  164 x 127.5m

    GMHBA:  170 x 115m

    We beat Geelong in a  final at the MCG because they are an insecure  team away from home in big  games and Hawthorn as well in a final because we played a tough brand of football. We were on a role before the finals. We didn't look slow then.                                         It is definitely a confidence problem and injuries play a big role .

    No doubting this Soup.  Possibly fitness and conditioning too.  Effects ability to execute anything well for long enough to stay in a match.  That inability to execute effects confidence.  From there doubts creep in in self and trust in team mates.  Nose dive from there.  Can be done but difficult to pull out of.

    A transfer to Tassie sounds drastic OD, would that make us the Tassie Devils!??

    Probably but we are destined to  fade from view unless we get a home soon and I need a good run of winning seasons, another  decade of this crap  is a bridge too far for me.

    Waverley Park OD.  It's old and probably  in need of a big refurb but beggars can't be choosers.   Hawks grabbed a bit of silver using that as their base so it can't be too bad surely.

    Doesn't have to be forever either.  Some say we dont need a proper home to perform/win flags etc but i don't buy it.  Having a home would bring a spirit and connection to the club by all involved and might be the key final piece in the puzzle that's been missing for 55 years.

    You have my vote RN but how long before the Hawks vacate? 

    I might add my vote is worth nine tenths of bugger all.

    ? I can't see it happening OD but i believe it's 2022.  Would we even get a vote?  I can't recall voting on anything other than board members over the years and the merger

    IMO we cannot wait till 2022 and the only ones who would agree to Waverly would be you and me. As there is no location to vote on our votes won't be required RN.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
