Are you the bloke asking $450 for jousting sticks?

With COVID, it's a buyer's market. People are flogging off things cheap to make ends meet. Don't pay any more than $350, and make sure they do contactless trade. Get photos to make sure the sticks are made of pine or cypress -- if it's gum or something hard, it's dangerous and fake! Don't be a statistic.

     We would have to win 7 straight games.  Including 4 finals, which includes a prelim and a granny.

    The odds would be 1 million to  1 a best

     

    Something tells me you didn't excell at maths P2J

    This may have been covered elsewhere, but can someone tell me if we have stayed in Cairns the past week, avoiding the travel that supposedly sapped our energy, according to Goody.

    I believe we stayed 

     

    Probability of making finals is around 0.28 in my guess

    based on 70% win probability tonight

    50% against GWS and 80% against the Bombers

    Would be interested to know what odds the bookies are giving for us to make the 8.

    I'd like us to just focus on something we were no.1 in the league a couple of years ago........ guarding space. It all flows from that. If we get on the front foot early and guard space well, I think we win.

    Unfounded optimism. Nervy pessimism. Plenty of humour. Posters checking in from various points of the globe, posters getting themselves pumped. BBQ and beverage reports. Crazy score predictions. Pre-game routines. For as long as I can recall and even at the worst of times - this is what I had come to expect of the game-day thread. A ritualistic shedding of the emotional baggage of the prior week and a chance for re-set, at least for the few hours leading up to first bounce. Somewhere I could come feeling little interest in the match ahead and leave excited and fully committed to cheering my [censored] off. Now it's just a bunch of people moaning. I hope our players have their minds on the task at hand and not taking a negative attitude into the game, as we ask of them week in week out. For many of us the football and watching our club is greatest escape we have from the workaday - why not enjoy the fantasy? Go Dees.

    • 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?
