Angus Brayshaw keeps getting better. Hope the contract gets sorted out.

    Mrs. Fritta (Fritta’s mum) sat in the cheer squad with us!! How [censored] cool is that?! And Clarrie’s mum does most weeks, too. 
    PS: my flag waving game’s not great. Not too bad though, only concussed a coupla ppl and took out one kid’s eye. That’s a solid 6 outta 10 for a noob.

    Thought Hunt had another very good game, he’s very steady back there.

    Great work from the boys today. Destroyed when we needed to, and absorbed the rest. Scoreboard was flattering for the Saints.

    Wowee Langdon, kept quiet one week and this is what he does? Love it!

    3 games and percentage clear of 4th, with the Roos and Eagles coming up.

    🔥🔥🔥

    38 point win over an in-form and confident Sainters. I will take that result every day of the week.

    Some are disappointed that we didnt massacre them after a fast start but both teams played to win. Its not like they were ever gonna roll over and play dead. The lead was reduced to under 4 goals and we pulled away AGAIN.

    Last year we didnt exactly thrash every team either but look what the end result was.

    Today was a very good win.

    In the lead up I was fairly certain St Kilda would give us a bit of a scare...so it was great to see the boys switched on right from the first bounce. We set the tone in the first ten minutes and allowed us to get on top mentally, which is so important against the Saints who are a big confidence team.

    If Ed doesn't get an AA guernsey the whole thing is worthless.

    And Angus outstanding! Where does Salem fit into this defence?

    Max and LJ easily handled the Marshall/Ryder threat.

    So good to see Kossie sparking and impacting offensively as well as defensively after his week off.

    Buckley's commentating on Fox was quite telling and delivered in awe

    Something about the Saints' pressure being elite at 200 (not sure what that is...) yet, we withstood that pressure and still kicked goals

    I love my team!!!

    This time my feeling was that even if they jag another to get within 16, it’ll take a good 2 to 3 minutes for that to happen

    All I was thinking was that if they had kicked another I would be reading a weeks worth of nuffy posts about how badly we played.

    Agree - I think the reason it was such as good win was because the opposition didn't throw in the towel. The margin in the end was pretty much accounted for by the dominant period we had in the first half. For the rest of the game it was an arm wrestle.

    Beltings require a certain compliance from the opposition. The reason we haven't dealt one out is because we haven't yet had an opponent offer up the requisite surrender. It will come.

    Was in the MCC. Had 6 feral Saints supporters insulting us the whole second half. Called our players ‘flops’. Said we were ‘weak’ and that they had ‘found us out’ and they would ‘beat us next time’. I have to admit that I got drawn in and called them ‘sore losers’. I am so glad we won.

    Our second quarter reminded me of September last year. 

    That's what we're capable of and it's absolutely ridiculous given the pressure St Kilda were applying during that quarter. 

    When we click in all phases, we are simply unbeatable.

    Loved spargos game today. Just fights for everything & never gives up on a contest

    As Meatloaf sang, you took the words…

    Spargo’s off the ball work was massive…halved at least 2 contests where he was outnumbered, tackled to kill the release like he’s the best at it we’ve got. Love the boy!

    Can I say I don't mind the 1:10 game. You leave in the day and I got home at 4:30. I like it. 

    There were plenty of saints fans in the MCC today. They were ok, but when the saints got a little bit of a roll on they certainly became louder. 

     most gave Oliver BOG today but I thought Angus and Ed were much more influential. Brayshaw was brilliant.

    Excellent win. We played good footy especially in the first half and when the saints played well we were able to hold.

    Yeah probably the next 2 weeks.

    GWS gave up. Richmond would have been a belting if we kicked straight.

    Why didn't you tell em you were going to go around to their flats and burn them all down.😇

    Great win! Saints have looked really good at times this year and Never really came close to us, even with their momentum in the third quarter (two goals to our one). 

    Really looking forward to seeing how Salem fits back in the team when he's fit. Gus down back is playing career best football (may've played a career best game today) while Jordan keeps improving on the wing. Good problem to have!

    For those who were watching closely, did St Kilda ever try to shut down Langdon? Seems like they just let him do as he pleased which was surprising considering the effectiveness of Hawthorn's tagging efforts last week.

    Has any team ever gone through the Afl/Vfl season undefeated? Im pretty sure not..Do we look at this as motivational?? (not that we should need any).

    Should we engineer a loss?!! (yes im kidding, i think)

    .....oh the extraordinary problems of a top side.

    Damn. I wish I sat nearby. I would’ve had a lot of fun with that mob.

    • 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.
