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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
