    In my 100% honest opinion I'd say we are a 10th place side. A perfectly average team. Nothing more, nothing less. 

    I’d argue less.

    Surely a Bedford couldn't do worse.

    But it really is like switching witches hats at the moment.  We don't really have anyone better than ANB in the magoos right now.

    but could he play whatever ahem role Brayshaw is currently not playing very well?

    Tracc has had two times he should have kicked for goal from 55, went for the pass and stuffed both up. 
    He’s had 7 touches and I know he’s not on his own, but Dusty he ain’t. 

    He's been quiet these last couple of games.


    One of my daughters, a keen Harry Potter fan, reckons the umps are under the Imperius Curse. A few Snape-like Crows fans with wands in the crowd, shouting ‘imperio’! As good a theory as any.

    Adelaide are absolute puss. They are easily the poorest team in the competition right now and we’re just fluffing around  with it. If we don’t come out with some killer instinct in the second half and put this game to bed, this game and season is dead.

    Yep, we have the players to just run right through these soft clowns but they just aren't really interested.

    I expect no likes ...because most of you guys would be happy for the big H to fail.

    Not me

    I'm not happy to see any Melbourne player fail.

    However, the bloke looks very, very timid tonight.  He needs to lift the urgency and contribute more.

    Brayshaw is like the kid who's old man drags to play footy and he's picking the daisy's from the grass.

    Doesn't give a phark.

    Yeah the umpiring sucks.

    But let's talk about us.

    We suck more.

    We're barely up in CPs and down in clearances to the 0-9 basket case whose biggest weakness is their midfield.

    Gawn isn't dominating hit outs, so maybe that's impacted our ability to get on top in the middle. Who knows.

    I can't stand vandenBerg's OTT faux aggression. His free reversal is inexcusable.

    ANB and Bennell are giving us nothing, and without Hannan and Pickett we have no forward 50 pressure.

    And WHY is Brayshaw playing? 4 touches, spending time on the bench. I just don't get it. What is the point?

    I think most on here could play the role Gus is playing right now.  I'd be a chance of getting four touches to half time.

    Stoppage clearance 13 to 8

    And people still rate our mids? 

    Im rating JV.

    Trac having a bad night.


    We would struggle to get a third round pick for Brayshaw at the moment.

    3rd in the Brownlow two years ago. How in the...

    Goody pre match presser where improving and he has a plan for a premiership. There are more than half this side that are not AFL standard. It is so sad after seven years of a rebuild where back where we started. 

    How's this for a number:

    11 of our 'players" have had less than 5 disposals.

    Bennell 1.

    Are they actually doing any training while in these hubs? Or is it all golf and surfing? Skills are deplorable.

    We're seeing two bottom 3 or 4 teams tonight. It is depressing how terrible we've become.

    Crowns have 9 changes and multiple first gamers. Mind you we have an almost pristine injury list. This is the worst Crows side in their history and comfortably the weakest list in the league atm.

    And yet we are staring down the barrel of a loss.

    Unforgivable.

    True, but at least I won't have to watch that [censored] Ben Brown do it.  I couldn't handle that.

    • 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.

      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?
