St Kilda heard of this concept called defense?

Yes, they were schooled in it only a week ago. But all the cool teams are into all out attack. Power teams like C'wood, Ess, Hawks, Blues.

    The AFL website studiously avoids mention of the crowd size. Maybe their calculators don't go down that low. (They're mostly used for counting exec bonuses.)

    I never believed the St Kilda hype.

    The commentators seem very determined to maintain it though. “St Kilda right in this!” “St Kilda a very good team!” Etc. St Kilda have been putrid so far, no defensive structure and so fumbly and rushed moving forward!

    St Kilda just bomb it into the forward line, now who does that remind you of?

    The competition can’t sustain any more teams, so for many having 19 or 20 teams creates new problems. Any relocation / new team will obviously be a long term venture. It may not get seasoned fans to jump straight on board straight away but some will. Over the years kids will grow up knowing nothing else but supporting them and the fan base will grow. I personally think one issue Tasmania faces should they get a team is player retention, as picturesque and beautiful as it is I don’t think it will hold the appeal for everyone (and yes I’ve lived there for several years).

    But as you say you’ll support it as a second team and that’s half the problem. 
    Everyone in Tassie already has a team. Would you drop Melbourne to barrack for the Tassie side? No you wouldn’t.

    Do you know many others who would?

    Eventually you’ll have kids barracking for them organically but it’ll take years and success to make it happen. 

    I’m not actually advocating for a Tassie team. I don’t have any need for one, as like I said, I have a team, and so do most others. Just saying that if “we” did get one, I wouldn’t want it to be Norf.

    It’d be a bit weird as a mascot though given Tasmania has very few Kangaroos. The only Kangaroo indigenous to Tassieis the Forester Kangaroo and there are sadly very few of these left. Of all the states to have a team called ‘Kangaroos’ Tassie would be the silliest pick.

    Norf are a beggar bowl club. Will go anywhere for some $$$$. $10 could buy you 2 reserved seats for the game.

    On the goal cameras, they are good but when it suits look like VGA quality.

    Kolodjashnij having a great game today.  Knocks out Jack Higgins (subbed out with concussion) then follows up his good work slamming captain Steele in to the Marvel concrete damaging his ACL.  Makes up for him missing targets.

    Saints look ordinary, don’t they?  Meggs was surprised they got so much media praise last week for their 38 point loss to us.

    Nobody in Victoria thinks anyone wants Norf, don’t worry.

    But the second half Meggs? Media thought they were awesome. We were in neutral for most of it.

    Geelong need to get out of neutral cos the media might be onto something 😎

    The Aints have gone bezerk 

    Kicked 7 goals that quarter. In the corresponding quarter last week agains Melbourne, they also tried to make their move and wound up scoring 2 goals to 1.

    Pretty solid effort from the boys in that context.

    This time tomorrow we are likely to be 5 games and 50% clear inside the 8. After nine rounds.

    It ain’t about making the 8. 

    With Lions and Freo up and about, top 2 is what matters

    Just an observation DD. I'm well aware we have far bigger fish to fry.

    This is terrible I know, but every time Tom Hawkins is in a marking contest, I silently hope for an injury.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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?
