Very good chance we go through undefeated from here . . . multiple injuries to superstars and Mayfades excluded.

    Carlton will be a handful.  Looked good today with some quality to come back in.

    Freo loading? Carlton’s second halves have been terrible all year yet not today. Freo looked well off it against hawthorn at home 2 weeks ago too.

    Carlton supporters are loud mouthed [censored]. They'll be wanting to make a space in the trophy cabinet now.

    ( Having said that , I backed them today and also have them in a multi)

    I appreciate this forum is a place to vent for some people, and what really riles me, is that there is often vitriol towards umpires from certain posters.

    Personal attacks wouldn't be accepted against any other group. So why these individuals? It wouldn't be tolerated in my house against anyone, I'd send my 6yo to his room, and if I spoke like that, I'd send myself to the room and give myself a good long talking to about respect, compassion and common decency.

    So it's been bugging me that this forum perhaps doesn't sanction that sort of commentary (perhaps it does and I am not aware of it).

    We can do better Demonlanders. #notallDemonlanders

     

    A sample of EO when people were 'attacking' "Britney' 😉...or 'PRGUY17'

    I’m not getting carried away with this result. Freo have been up for a while, as were we. I do hope the Giants can roll the Pies though, another team that’s been riding high of late.

    Mate, it's a footy forum. And I genuinely haven't noticed that steady stream of vitriol you speak of.

    Carlton are a big threat but how enjoyable would it be to beat them in a final? Watching their feral supporters lose their minds would be hilarious

    Possibly, any side playing for Top 4 will have looked at what Burgess (and Selwyn) did last year. We were at Peak fitness for September and pulling away

    Probably. They squeezed the life out of them not that long ago

    I thought the umpires did a good job on Thursday night. They stayed out of the game, and only paid what was there (except the Daniher frees which I wasn’t sold on).

    The issue is that umpires are the public face of the administration of a game that’s become far too complicated. They are there so people will go them in the absence of any alternative.

    I understand the AFL’s need to want to protect the umpires, but the reality is the problem sits with the AFL itself. The umps are doing there job, but often the job requirements don’t make sense, or aren’t clearly communicated to stakeholders. If the AFL wants to fix the problem of umpire respect they need to simplify the game, and it’s communication.

    Are we assuming that we were prepared to lose 2 of 3 to fall back to the pack  (should have beat Sydney)- so to speak... loading a bit earlier than the others...and then for the others (Freo, Bris, Carlton, GTown) to load at some stage and also potentially have diminished returns from winning... I'd think so also... 👌

    I’m really hoping today is the day the sycophants in the media finally realise Richmond are well past it.

    The ramping up of training drills is designed to peak at the bye. Then the boys get the rest to refocus. So I suppose it’s a case of “get what you can” during that period. 
    What i was worried about during those 3 losses was that our 3rd Quarters were flat, after a 20 minute break in each game. 
    But Thursday was most pleasing

    West Coast get a win and everyone is excited 

    West Coast looked A LOT better against Geelong, I’m not saying their going to be winning on the regular but like a large portion of bottom teams they aren’t as they seem. They’ve had COVID rip through their club (poor management and attitudes perhaps) as well as a number of injuries to compound it. They have a lot of premiership players in their team, so when things get going they are capable of playing decent footy. Love seeing the bombers lose!

    I’m not. I’m hoping they beat Geelong - and then fall in a hole.

    Why are the umpires wearing yellow.

    Not sure I agree, I had written them off, but ever since they got Balta and Vlaustin back in, they have looked a lot more likely defensively. A couple of the bastards are having Indian summers as well.

    • 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?
