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!


Just watched Ben Ruttens presser. 
 

I kid you not him and Gill McLaughlin could be twins!

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

Edited by whatwhat say what

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”

When’s cricket season start

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

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
