Cool, let's play Max until he suffers a major injury from overwork and then maybe we can give Preuss a run.

    The Bigger Picture is to hold onto 52,000 Members and Top Line Sponsors for 2020

    Winning is still very important.....

    Sadly there are potentially three more wins left SWYL for this year. Sadly both the above are in serious danager.

    Lewis??

    Not looking good for Josh W's contract extension

    I for one am happy to see Lewis in the team! 

    Congrats to Kyle Dunkley well done young man!

    This mob beat Brisbane a few weeks so they are no easy beats for us. On top of that a change of coach has them looking interested on the field. Dees by a point if things go our way. 

    I would generally agree, but with no Cripps, McKay or Charlie Curnow we really should wipe the floor with this mob, despite our current malaise.

    Momentum and confidence are funny things in sport though.

    I'm tipping Maxy won't play. 

    Having said that there is no guarantee that Preuss will be his replacement. ?

    Agree, it's got late withdrawal written all over it.

     

    Still don't know why all the talls.

    Maybe a few more late withdrawals

    or they'll play May and Frost as smalls.

    I'll stop now before this it turns into a poem.

    Probably what Freo thought last week Dr. and we know how that ended.

    Unfortunately it has been worse than ever this year.

    I have no  idea about what the boards KPIs are for pert and so no real sense of how he is travelling as CEO. Except in regard to communication.  

    Communication and supporter engagement is critical for teams long terms success and viability. i would argue it is never more critical than when a team i struggling. And responsibility for communication falls squarely at the feet of the CEO.

    Really it is beyond ridiculous that the Pert could publicly say we are aiming for 70, 000 members (which is fine in of itself) and then allow our communication to be so woeful. I mean talk about a disconnect. 

    I have been banging on about this for years now. Time for me to put my money where my mouth is. I will go to the next AGM and ask why our communication has been so poor and what they plan to do about it. 

    I endorse this post x 2

    You can even tell them you are "Ding from Demonland" if you dont want your rep tarnished.

    Mine is already rubbish so i dont have anything to lose.

    I don't know that any professional AFL player is 100% by this time of the season.

    In fairness the club said he will be named and train Saturday before a final decision will be made.

    The member survey just arrived via email. There's quite a chunk on club communication. 

    I suggest you (all) have your say on the matter.

    I scored it very low. But not the staff on the membership line, they are always polite and helpful.

    The son and heir is getting married tomorrow and there's a shindig on Sunday. I have been instructed that I won't be at the game.

    Losing this has the potential to put a downer on a big weekend.  

    But it's only footy, right...

    They've got to be taking Max out. If they were going to play him surely they'd pick a proper second ruck and limit his minutes on the ball.

    Smells like a hamfisted scheme to me.

    Still no Preuss ?‍♂️ 

    WT complete F?

    Poor old Preuss reminds me of when kids are choosing who they want on their team when they are playing a game among themselves. He is the big overgrown awkward kid hovering at the back of the smaller, more popular kids, his face getting more and more crestfallen as everyone is getting picked instead of him. Finally, he is the only one left and the captain of one of the teams (in movies this is usually the star, the kid who has his own battles with the bully of the story) is forced to take him on, with no conviction that this big lug is going to be any help at all to his cause. 

    Does Preuss wait until there is no one left to pick? Hope not!

    • Haha 1

    Can someone explain the the rules of selection to me please 

    if Max pulls up crook Saturday morning we bring Preuss in and this is all quite legal

    Is that correct?

    I guess we’ll know at 2pm tomoz as to whether or not Max is playing, with Preuss named in the vfl

    Unless, of course, they decide in their infinite wisdom to ruck T Mac and Weed in tandem...

    Like most I’m expected Jones and Gawn late outs for Preuss and pick a Wagner, any Wagner (probably Josh, to play back, with Lewis in as a midfield rotation)

    Believe that Preuss will be held over regardless. They can still pull Max out right up until game time.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • 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?
