    No Danger, Cameron, Parfitt for them first time round, but now they're missing Stewart, Duncan & Tuohy.

    We didn't have Brown, Harmes or Bowey

    Hawkins smashed May’s eye socket… so for this VDB and Jones last game, time to put some pre finals hurt on, Hawkins and Selwood at the top of the list. Personally I don’t have it in for Danger.

    I swear to god there isn’t a team in the competition I despise more deeply than this mob. Beating them in finals in 2018 is my fondest footy memory. May 2021 see that memory topped and their old team pushed aside into retirement as they should.

    Wow. Half our backline is out from that game. We're no chance.

    Must be sarcasm. Would have assumed it was from round 1?

    Ah yes, I dimly recall us smashing flag favourites Fremantle and taking the mantle of "best team in the comp" on the day. 

    But honestly, the first time I thought "Hey we might have something here" was reeling in that gap the Saints created in round 2. Definitely gonna rewatch that game in Grand Final week (should we make it) because I think that was when we truly arrived.

    Ah yes back when people thought Saints could win the flag. Good times.

    You have been clear on this point - When it looked like there is a possibility of playing them 4 times in one year, I must admit it did occur to me to worry for you.  😁

    Bombers easily for me, Cats second. West Coast and Port are now also in my top 8 of most despised.

    Mine goes… Essendon, five Lapland summers (ie. 24/7 daylight), then every other team.

    Just looking at the 12 top ranked Cats players (AFL site) only two, Cam Guthrie and Menegola, are under 30 years of age.

    Guthrie is 28 and Menegola is 29.

    Scott will be praying for that bye.

    My Taliban is Essendon by a long way, (even the club nickname is disgusting-an indiscriminate killing device) but still a hierarchy of loathing after that, Carlton (despite their flourishing mediocrity), WCE, Adelaide, and Hawthorn.

    Dislike: Geelong (more from being a protected species and good for a long time) Roos

    Non plussed about: Dogs Lions Swans Saints Tigers GWS Port

    Amiable intent: Freo (continue to spoil us as our trading bunnies).

    Pity: Suns

    Shakespearean Rage: For family reasons Collingwood, they are our Capulets (without any Juliet).

    Maybe he should incorporate two nana-naps into their training instead of one.

    Not sure we should be helping - I used to think the Spanish were mad lazy buggers for having siesta. I now realise they are inspired geniuses, love my nana nap (when I can get one!

    Samesies! Never met a nap I didn’t like.

    • 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?
