Far better game swans and giants but there is something about the commentators doing the swans games. We had McInerny for ages but now it seems it is Russell ( I think) that keeps on having strange orgasms over their players. I find it quite odd and unnecessary.

    Dwayne Is the worst commentator in the AFL - not that the others are any good, but he insists on adding Americanisms to our game, and all it does it takeaway what is special about the AFL. I actually forgot how much I dislike when he calls.

    Some guy tried to tell me the other day that Rutten and a couple of other AFL coaches, privately do not rate Goodwin as a coach. Well I am sorry but after today if I was Rutten I would shut up and concentrate on keeping his own job!

    If Rutten's men keep performing like that, I hope he coaches Essendon for ever.

    If this is fact, and I'm not sure it would be, I have a next door neighbour who suggested that if his Goldfish sits at the bottom of the bowl then he never bets on his team. But if the Goldfish floats, then.... he gets another Goldfish!!

    Anyone who now Doesn't rate Goody needs to take a look at our Stellar 2021 and acknowledge what a fantastic job this man did!


    Green, Taranto, Kelly, Congilio, Whitefield, Hoppper, Greene, Ward.

    This team should be pushing hard for a flag this season.

    This is a cracking game. Both teams are super sharp. Ball use exceptional

    My way too early call - both teams make top 4

    I don't know for certain but rumour was GWS was happy to take Jackson if we put a bid on Green.  Probably would have been better for their list management too.

    I remember someone mentioning that here back around that draft I think, could have even been yourself. Taylor absolutely loved Green, I'm a fan of him now too, but he ended up leaning the right way hey!

    well - not really

    even if we'd nominated him there was no way gw$ wouldn't match the bid

    and if they hadn't we wouldn't have dogga and i'll definitely take dogga over the mini-clayton that is tom green

    They seem upset on Bomberblitz

    Just at the start

     

    Fine, I’ll start.

    6 months to prepare for this game. 6 months.

    6 months to develop a semblance of a structure that may actually be competitive. To work out how to deliver the ball to our forwards. To work out how to not let it waltz from one end of the ground to another. To learn how to make use of kick ins. To freaking mark the ball. Hit a 1m target with a handball.

    6 months to even look like you wanted to be out there. ■■■■ me. They looked like they had been dragged out against their will.

    The signs were there in the St Kilda game, but it’s ok, we were just changing things up, just toying with them.

    Complete and utter failure by our coaching panel. Truck may be good at creating content for the website but there is absolutely nothing to suggest he can develop and coach a football team.

    Get ■■■■■■ with your scripted videos. Get ■■■■■■ you soulless, vacuous void of a football club. Scotty from marketing has more substance. You are nothing.

     

    i dont think it an overreaction to fold the club

     

    Sat in the sun for the game.
    Beer cues crazy long
    Geelong fans acting like arrogant flogs
    We were appalling
    …and yet I’m still kinda glad footy is back

     

     

    Essendon Football Club

    Where talent comes to die.

     

    happy to be at the footy on a sunny day after two years of not being able to do that much. essendon still puts the “fun” in “lack of fundamental ball skills”

    As entertaining as this game is, I don't think the coaches will be happy with the scores they're conceding.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
