    Felt a bit crook yesterday. The doctor told me one of the thing I need to do is cut down on stress. Now that’s an impossibility 

    Tell him he/she is dreaming!

    Certainly a bump in stress as we passed the half way point of this ‘bye’. I don’t even want to work this week now!

    Spoiler alert we won the 1964 GF. 

    Froggy Crompton not only kicked the winning goal (wit the commentator saying how remarkable it was for a back pocket), he also took a saving mark deep in defence only a minute or before the final siren

    Hassa Mann now being interviewed.

    Saying our inaccuracy almost cost us.

    The more things change....

    I have this peculiar end of year sadness that in one more game this wonderful season will be over! 

    Hopefully replays of next week will get me through

    Whatever the result next Saturday, this football team we support has brought me more joy this year than any other year that I have supported them, including’64. The players , coaches and support staff have my greatest admiration and thanks for what they have achieved to date, for themselves, the Club and for us loyal supporters. That sentiment will not be diminished if the worst were to happen on Saturday night. I would also like to state that while I’d love to be able to see it live in person, that fact that I can’t will not diminish the shear joy and ecstasy I will feel if we win. It’s our time, I believe.

    For the first time starting to feel nervous.

    Used to be $2 in the mid-2000s I'm sure.

    That was expensive for me back then. Can't imagine how young kids from poor families could afford a footy record these days.

    Yep it’s insane. 
    I’ll buy one because we are in a grand final but that’s two less w@nker coffees for me. Unimpressed.

    I'm pretty sure the GF edition has always been more expensive than the H&A season records.

    No way, the Grand Final record from the late 80s/early 90s was more than $2.

    Just referring to the home and away record. But I’m fully aware that’s apples to oranges. The grand final record is printed on the rarest of gold leafed paper and engraved with pure cold pressed baby octopus ink and must be marked up accordingly.

    I made the same point on the Brownlow thread, and I’m gonna do it here. It’s fascinating that ‘people’ place any kind of meaning in utterly irrelevant stats like this. I know it’s an MFCSS thing to need to find reasons for failure, a desperate search for some kind of self-fulfilling doomsday narrative, but please, this is just silly. Maybe just find another meaningless stat to balance it out, cos I guarantee there’ll be a squillion of them.

    • 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?

    • 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.
