Does a twice weekly podcast with Rohan Connolly, it's one of the better ones imo

Thanks John

i have seen Rohan talking about this on Twitter. 
2 voices that are not really suited for radio, but they do understand the game better than most

    Where does Fine reside now?

    He used to be at The Village Belle Hotel, probably more than he should have been. 
    Is he back on Radio?

    He's not..but he should be. Whether you agreed or disagreed with him, it was listenable. The post-game tripe SEN has on now is gobsmackingly bad.

    Woeful and Damien Whoever, following, is mindnumbing. I listened a couple of weeks ago then again Thursday night  (yes, mistake)and the callers, devoid of any knowlege or charisma, were a congo -line of loud-mouthed halfwits. And they don't get cut off. A license to bore me specifically, given I surely must have been the only listener. Then there's an ad for a funeral company. If ever there was a sign to stop listening, that was it.

    Adelaide season officially over.

    Will be interesting to see if the Adelaide media and followers give them a pass due to the bubble.

    Freo and WCE just scraping out of the Qld bubble.

    If we had not given them the win in Round 1 WC would be on very shaky ground. I can now see them winning the next 4 or 5 in Perth

    Andrew Brayshaw played a very good game. Helped drag Freo up to win. Would have been a very handy addition if we’d had the chance to grab him.  At 20, he’s still developing but showing signs of a top class mid.

    Ratts will be a good Coach, don’t slash your wrists over my comments 

    Goodwin has stagnated for 18 months

    I actually fully agree; I've seriously respected Ratten ever since he got the best out of our midfield waaaaaay back in a past era, and with a Carlton-supporting brother I'm very aware of how much he got out of a Blue's unit that was not as good as (ahem) Malthouse convinced the Blue's board it was.

    I would have preferred Ratten as the Roos successor and I think St Kilda are over-achieving with him at the helm at the moment.  Although, I must confess I have long believed St Kilda has been right on the edge of being a total basket case and that Richardson did well to get even the couple of respectable seasons out of him that he did.

    Stagnated for 18 months is about as neat a summary of Goodwin/Melbourne as you can get.

    I hope I didn't come across as mocking the original comment - I was just having a laugh and enjoying the spectacle of what a fickle and unpredictable game our game can be, at it's best.

    I wasn’t sure Goffy tbh

    I hope Simon gets his act together, but if we lose the next two games, i think he is in real trouble. 
     

    do i think he will make it?

    Genuinely not sure. The Players effort is still there...

    today is massive for him and although it's cliche it is one week at a time 

    good to see that he's made some changes to the side and sees some of the things we miss - it's more so the people around him that might not be good enough. Goody can be a great coach Mon - Fri, but come game day and when the heat is on you want to be surrounded by those who see the game and can make in game adjustments. 

    win this game, put it in the book then move on to next week.

    I think there's a glitch on the AFL site.  I keep opening the 'live games' tab and the Giants v Power game comes up.

    At least as a courtesy to the rest of us they could rename it 'currently occurring' because 'live' implies some kind of pulse and volition.

    Meanwhile, only two other games to wait on and we're a good chance of being the highest scoring team of the round.  If the results of those two games go right we'll be out of the bottom four despite having a game in hand.

    I've got it on TV while I get sunday-stuff done at home, just heard the commentators say at half time 'every score this game has been from a turnover'.

    If that is 1st vs 7th, we're definitely in with a shot this year!

    Swans tigers - heeney clearly gets hit in the head after his kicked, should’ve been downfield and a report. 

    BT - doesn’t look like he got his in the head.

    My god these muppets are so so stupid. They get paid to be so so stupid and completely miss obvious things.

    Is it just me or is anyone else sick of the following line from the commentators:

    ”How good is it to have a crowd here today”.

    Way to keep reminding Victorians that they a) Can’t go to the footy and b) Can’t do anything.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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?
