    As much as I despise the expansion clubs, I have to take my hat off to Gold Coast. I hate the modern terminology of a team's "brand", but you can actually see a definite system of play emerging. Can't believe I am saying this, but I actually enjoy watching them.

    Swans wearing South Melbourne guernseys. Nice touch. Just remembered that I walked past the old Brunswick Street Oval at lunchtime today and there was a junior girls game on with one side wearing the old Fitzroy guernseys.

    It's important to the future of the game that GCS have some success. All those Auskick kids up there drowning out the Ausbiff kids or Austhump (or whatever the RL equivalent is) have to have something to aspire to. They're the future.

    Dogs Swan's game does have a bit of a Retro look to it.

    The first time the dogs kicked it deep I was half expecting to see Rod Carter take a mark in the goal square.

    Yeah, that's right. He used to cop so much [censored] from opposition fans sitting behind the goals.

    Sydney having a dip here at Marvel. Played an impressive 1st qtr and are capable of winning this.

    Being at the venue, the roof should always be open on overcast mild days like today. I don’t agree with the 100% roof closed policy.

    so does that mean masks on while seated?

    No masks required at seats.

    Syndey dominating uncontested disposal and marks which is a good recipe for winning a game.

    Stewie Dew is too good of a coach not to have a clear bit of brand/dna/team values/mission statement/vision statement/actionable item/a ha moment/blue sky thinking/competitive advantage/core competencies/deep dive/key take aways and lazer focus for his team not to play well some of the time.

    Seriously good player Dawson, probably in the top 3 for kicking in the AFL.

    A great game of footy between Dogs and Swans, Swans looking really good.

    Docklands seems far less soulless with the roof open I think. Perhaps the key is to pencil in all daytime games for the 3.20pm time slot when the sun is lower in the sky to negate the so called glare problem.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
