    Our new recruits look above our normal class and effort which is positive.

    Don't worry horse, we'll drain that out of them in no time.

    Despite the woeful first half, if we’re still in the game at 3/4 time, I think we’ll run over the top of them

    The scary thing is we are still in the game. I don't think we could be much worse than we have been. Viney is the only one that can hold their head up high. Our pressure is non existent and we have fumbled and been careless with the ball. Is it time to drop Brayshaw he's been pathetic.

    pickett looks good, a few better signs but need  alot more effort.  Im not sure if its the system the coach wants to play or our players are dumb but we really suck at times.

    My mates in our messenger group:

    “How funny was that“

    “Who is that Gumby in the back line”
     

     “There he is”

    no guesses Who they’re referring to.

    They look totally flat. 
     

    I think the decision coming before the game got inside our heads. 
     

    They probably don’t believe it/not focused. 
     

    Just going through the motions. 

    Players look too hot and bothered. Someone please give them some silk fans.

    Simply too slow for our gameplay.

    We know it's going to come in quick with the way we play. I've never been a fan, but I'm sure another team (or a different game plan) would suit him much better.

    Given we are flush with inside mids who can butcher the ball, why not trade him?

    Gotta give something to get something.

    Yet West Coast are switched on.

    The opposition always fire up

    We don’t. 
     

    Stop with the MFC excuses

    This is actually a quintessential Goodwin coached game. Still holding on for dear life to a 2018 gameplan. We don't know whether we're coming or going.

    Spargo and OMac definitely have some compromising photos of Goodwin... 

    Charlie having another blinder

    2 x kicks to eagles palyers

    1 x kick missed the target

    1 x 50 metre penalty

    Oh and 1 mark

    I will go to the grave, hopefully soon if this is the best we can do afetr a solid pre season, not understanding how he gets a game. He is a project player that was unsuccessful- time to move on

    We got rid of Frosty & kept OMac. FMD.

    OMac has actually been one of our better players! Take off the blinkers.

    Difference between a truly professional organisation and ours Clint. They don't accept mediocrity, it's seemingly all we know.


    Gawny appears to be protecting his knee. He has no spring and is avoiding contact with man mountain Natanui.

    I don't blame Max. One game is not worth getting injured for, but the ease of WC clearances from the centre has killed us just as much as our witches hat game plan.

    Disappointing. I was hoping to watch this game fir the next 10 weeks. Can't even watch it for the next 10 minutes.

    The players can now see where they are at compared to a Top 6 team. Miles off the skills required.

     

    looking at the brights side, all recruits except Brown at this stage, playing well. Kossie is a Jet. And i put $10 at 11:1 on Viney to get +30 disposalsdisposals

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
