I don't understand the Kent Kingsley reference.  Anyone?

Probably the easiest way to understand it Fanatique is imagining how Adelaide supporters felt when Alex Neal-Bullen had 23 possessions, 6 marks, 6 tackles, 3 goals and 3 Brownlow votes against them in 2018.

    How about Tim Membrey, Mr 5 straight, v the Dees every game he plays

    Or Kennedy could do a Joe Daniher and kick 0.6.

    Just saying...

    That would be so good to see for once, as opposed to us blowing great chances against them!

    Of course bringing up Daniher I’ll never forget when he was missing stupid about of shots and then kicked something stupid like 7.1 against us!

    According to Simpson's post match interview Jack Darling will play round 1.

    That’s disappointing but you ain’t missing 8 weeks with a busted cheek bone.

    The consolation is he might be a little rusty which could work in our favour.

    Consolation?  Watch out. There are posters who would prefer him to be at the peak of his ability and doubly fired by having been injured.

    A tap on the rusty bit by one of our great '...interceptors...' might make all the difference in the game outcome. Mind you, the green snot goblins will award a free kick - so therefore, it will be a sacrificial one but should take him out of the game. We need absolute 'mongrel' in the 2020  season, no more Mr Niceguy this season.

    West coast have been very poor this pre season. 54 points against freo in perfect conditions isn’t good form. 
     

    I wouldn’t be surprised if the dees got up

    Unfortunately the eagles are 1 of only a few sides where pre season form I wouldn’t take much notice of, they are capable of flicking the switch come round 1, we will have to play out of our skins to beat them hopefully it’s not too hot

    We need Cameron or Greene from the Giants for that.

    Those Demonlanders who want a West Coast at nearly full strength look like getting their wish.

    Personally I hope it is not a very hot day over there.

    Really??? I guess when west coast beat geelong by 35 and freo by 50 points last year the results didn’t matter. 

    Since the pre season comp has been cut to 2 games, form has become a critical indicator on teams season performance. 

    something isn’t right with the eagles. They had a full strength side and only scored 50 points.

    Does anyone know if we sent any scouts across to watch the WC V Freo game?

    You've had a warmer summer back in Melbourne Red,

    The Eagles have had a bit if an interupted pre season.

    Iur boys look fit at the moment and I think the heat may help us

    In terms of preseason we've put ourselves in as good of a position to really challenge them as possible. I'm glad we've got this game round 1 in some respects. It's probably the most unpredictable round with teams still sorting game plans and personel. Plus the fatigue factor late in the game which we look to be in decent stead for. It will be hot and both teams will fatigue late so I think if one team has a 3-4 goal lead in the fourth qtr. it will be theirs to win you would think.

    I'm predicting a close one! (because why not?)

    I agree, my first thoughts when I saw it was that the AFL have stitched us up, but we’ve been sent there with 6 day turnarounds. At least this way we have time to prepare for it and finalists are traditionally a little bit sluggish early. 

    Scoreboard pressure early in the game massive for us though.

    • 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.
