I think about the only player they are missing is Cam Guthrie who is closing on 29 and probably replaces 22yo Brad Close so they can go older still ...

Fair enough, best to wait then. Not too long though - tick tock and all that...

    Just listened to an interview with Jeff Kennett. Was asked about Alistair Clarkson and, as always, made it all about Jeff. I’ve seen this skill within the workplace but he’s a master. It was apparent that he wanted to lessen Clarkson’s achievements and talk up his own (overstated) efforts.

    Let’s hope he stays in control of the Hawthorn FC. 
    Apologies for slightly left field comment 

    Can't stand that object.

    He is apparently on Channel 7's payroll. He gets asked to comment on various issues, and is often on that station's news. If ever I am watching Channel 7's news (which I rarely do) and his ugly head appears, I have to switch off or chance the channel.

    In no way am I having a go at you personally dees189227, but I am getting sick of the clarko is a genius stuff.

    He is a great coach and has clearly done well with all the flags, but I love how they beat the swans and he is a genius (you said it, but also all the papers and radio have run with it today).

    Just wondering how much of a genius he has been for the remainder of the games they have played this year?

    Just a little gripe of mine.

    Well said. It's bloody cringe.

    This post also reminds me of the Tom Browne tweet from Friday night..

    The Thilthorpe free was there. Poorly explained but there was an arm over the shoulder and a hold.

    The umpires explanation “you prevented  him from marking?

    Selective quoting? If you watch the footage, the umpire also stated that he was holding the player… and indeed he was.

    Is this a covid reduced crowd at Blundstone or has Tasmania just officially given up on North ?

    To be fair, would you get out of bed to watch this enthralling duel?

    I can’t even be bothered finding the tv remote to turn on Kayo for this game.

    Let's put it this way.

    If you were given a free ticket would you go.

    I wonder where GWS goes from here? North are past tense.

    If that was indeed holding there would be a free kick given for every second forward 50 entry.

    True. There's more life in the average graveyard than Hobart on a Sunday. I can guarantee the crowd will be bigger at the New Sydney Hotel on Bathurst St when it opens at 4pm.

    Maybe the final straw was losing their home town full forward to our reserves team.

    Bit like GWS but at least he didn't go to the reserves.

    Technicality it did look like a weak arm chop in slow motion but I don’t recall ever seeing a free  paid for an arm chop applied after a player misses the first bite of the ball. Usually only paid when the arm chop spoils the first bite. In the circumstances it was a very contentious decision.

    I'm comparing the treatment Thilthorpe got with what Toby Greene gets every time the ball goes in to the Giants 50. If last night's decision was any kind of benchmark, GWS would be 15 goals in front.

    If only there was a way for North to play at Blundstone Arena more often

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
