    I remember TItus O'Reilly talking about on his podcast how GWS were often the butt of his jokes (saying they only had two supporters) because he would constantly get heckled on twitter by GWS supporters who said it wasn't true.  The only problem was that it was always the same two supporters... so in some ways it reinforced his point!

     

    This game though I'm a little nervous for - surely at some point in the year things will click for GWS (even if its only a game or two).  We don't have a good record at Manuka and these are the games (after a week of the media singing our praises) that we have a history of dropping.

    I was under the impression that the Rooty Hill RSL never closed. It had to stay open to ensure there was still somewhere for people to punch on once the curfew was imposed on the inner city.

    Anyway, in tribute to the game being up in the village in the hills we should really be referring to the mighty, mighty Canberra Hellenic Club.

    Don't laugh too heartily - I made the mistake of flicking through a Sydney paper in a cafe the other day and sure enough GWS had been "lucky to still be close in the game against St Kilda, courtesy of some generosity from the referees."

    Can we replace Cameron with Bellamy.

    I read somewhere that the AFL are considering moving a bunch of Collingwood supporters to Western Sydney and thus improving the IQ of both places. (an oldie but a goody)

    I think it's disrespectful not to appreciate the effort that the paper went to to translate the English language into the Sydney language.

    Although the AFL using NRL referees would go a long way towards explaining the quality of umpiring decisions...

  • Quote

    NRL refs have been pretty good so far this year. Certainly less [censored] decisions in 3 rounds than 1 game at Geelong.

  • Quote

    Why do I get the feeling that the few supporters GWS have will be using this as LOL material should they roll us on the weekend?

  • Quote

    Half a dozen good players, a few quality kids and that’s it. Looking at their 22, GWS should be bottom 6 this year. The guts have been ripped outta them.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
