Yeah he’s a dud off the field if the reports are accurate.

The reports are very accurate. Caused an awful lot of trouble within the club last year.

    Dogs probably deserved it, I thought. If we can get a solid, functioning forward line, we can take any one.

    The Cats (including their coach) must be the most irritating bunch of bankers around. Wouldn't give you the steam off their [censored] those blokes. Apart from Tom Stewart - he's a gun and seems like a good bloke.

    Shades of our 2018 game down in Geelong  when we couldn’t hold on in the dying seconds.

    Anyone who continues to bag Gary Rohan has no idea. He’s a far better player than given credit for.

    Micro moments that the Dogs will hate re-watching, like our game too. 

    They had the ball in their forward 50 with a minute to go but couldn’t force it over the line. Didn’t get to the ball on the clearance, allowing Selwood to knock if forward. Not sure if Cordy had options for his clearing kick but if he did, his kick didn’t help. And too far up the ground given they needed to defend the lead in the last minute, leaving too much room for the Cats. 

    Also Bontempelli missing from directly in front early in the last hurts.

    EXACTLY like our loss down there a couple years ago. EXACTLY.

    Everyone goes on about this game like we didn’t end up ultimately beating them in a final in front of 90,000 people at the MCG that year.

    Ok so, we beat Essendon. 
    Brisbane beat Geelong at the Gabba. 
    West Coast beat Dogs at Optus. 
    Normal programming resumes. 
     

    Somehow us beating Essendon seems the least likely scenario ?

    He's not much of a human

    I met him when he was a Swan and came to help with a training session when my son was playing with the Newtown Swans. My impression was that he was a really nice guy who was genuinely enjoying helping the kids improve their game; and he was happy to have a bit of a chat.

    Yep I don’t remember the meaningless H&A season game we lost but gees I sure as [censored] remember smashing them at the G in a final. My favourite game of football ever.

    Absolutely. I have said recently that our next 2 games are critical. We just cannot afford to lose games against teams outside the 8. The chasing pack are coming. If we don’t bring our A game next Saturday night we are in serious trouble.

    We've been playing with one hand tied behind our back with Wiedemann. I'm not sure Brown is the answer (he might be). I'd love to see us go back to one permanent tall (McDonald), with Gawn and Jackson rotating in there.

    Yep, if we're going to win a flag, we need to give up the habit of relying on other results.

    Geelong are coming REALLY good, and you'd argue they are timing it better than us. Round 22 at the cattery is looming big on the horizon, we've got a lot of footy to play until then but that will be a statement game for both clubs if things keep tracking the way they are.

    Clutch goal from Rohan, I have to be honest in saying I'm not sure we have someone I would be as confidently as Rohan. TMac first pick, Petracca because of his kicking penetration and his love of clutch moments, beyond that....

    Oh, I wasn’t saying that. I was just amazed from the throw in from defence to the transition through the ground, to a mark that’s then kicked after the siren. It was just eerily similar.

    Geelong very good, lots of experience right across the ground. Home and away counts for nothing once finals begin, and can't help but feel that Cats and Richmond will be there when the big boys come out to play.

    As unfavourable a result as it was (and it’s only June) if Geelong and Dogs finish 1st and second, I’m more than happy to finish 3rd or 4th and play either of these mobs at the G.

    We just need the Lions and West Coast to stay out of the top 2.

    Ben brown, Mitch brown, melksham, hunt, Salem, Brayshaw, viney, jones. I’d back any of those guys to kick straight when it counts.

    Poor on field leadership by the Dogs. They had done all the hard work and then take an intercept mark on the wing with 1.05 minutes on the clock and….kick up the line to a contest??? Could not believe it. Don’t you find someone sideways or backwards and work it slowly forward to soak up time?

    • 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?
