I get that it's late in the year and whatnot, but it always feels like Gawn is the only won trying to win the game back when things start to turn against us.

(With apologies to Oliver, Frost, Hibbard, Petracca)

And Fritta, but yeah...

    Strange this is what you take out of the game. Every week it is a similar troll.

     

    Which part was troll? The part about him having 0 tackles or the part about him coasting for cheap kicks? I was at the game and watched him closely, his one injury away from retirement and he knows it so his in self preservation mode. Jones is done.

    Anyone that cares, can we feasibly finish bottom?

    Is it possible to actually suck that badly that the Suns are considered a better team?

    Gawn's ability to never give up never ceases to amaze.  Oliver is an able accomplice and Fritsch has clearly improved since being moved forward.  Lewis did a solid job on Grimes, and Frost tried hard.  I didn't mind Dunkley's effort as well.  Preuss looks a long way from the standard required. He's not Robinson Crusoe though.

    0 tackles for Viney and Jones. Was at the game and saw Jones Coast off the back of packs trying to get cheap touches. Didn’t see him get into a sprint once. His done.

    Agree. For someone quibbling about his contract offer, you’d hope he would put in more effort

    I’d love to ask Glenn Bartlett what his criteria for an external revue is (if falling from top 4 to second bottom doesn’t justify it).

    Turn up the heat Glenn. It’s your job mate.

    Much rather go to a revue than the mcg this year....?

    Goodwin has no bloody idea. How he got us to a prelim finals seems staggering. 

    He hasn’t changed his tactics from last year and all the other clubs have worked us out.

    No plan B or C and has us stuck in concrete boots. The ‘play on’/hand-pass at all cost game plan is flawed and invariably leads to a turn over. Players have also lost faith in it. 

    Hawks won 3 premierships is a row (a feat that might not be repeated this century) possessing the ball by foot. 

    Learn something from that football  and adapt it slightly to suit our side. 

    Whatever style game you have us playing now, Goodwin, is [censored]...

    Yeah switched it off and watched the cricket when graham kicked the goal from the boundary... 

    Aussie bowlers have done very well getting us back into the test!! 

    of course I turned it on straight after the 3 wickets in 11 balls ... and now I'm going to sit here for hours and watch a huge partnership build - I guarantee it.

    Still better than watching the Dees though.

    Preuss is a dud. The big lumox couldn’t even stick a tackle - one of their smalls broke free of him far too easily. He can’t play with Max pure and simple.

    Was at the footy, the boys had a go, but once the rain came Richmond took control. The umpires were atrocious we couldn’t get a free until the game was over.

    You have a short memory. Max Gawn was just as bad in his early AFL games.

Close to the weakest team on paper that I can ever remember.  Guys like Baker and Kennedy Harris ( who didn't play well) nevertheless gave it a red hot go. Fritsch played well, Petty showed a lot, even Wagner had his moments. And at half time we trailed by 3 points. Cameron Ling's comments about Richmind in the wet are dead right, we weren't up to it but no-one wasn't trying

    He was. He missed a goal from 5m out directly in front in one of his earliest games. He looked like an unco giraffe.

    Petty’s marking was excellent. Especially in those conditions.

    • 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?

      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.
