Coming home on the train last night after the Geelong v Richmond match I overheard two Richmond supporters.

Tiger 1: "You know I reckon we can beat Melbourne"

Tiger 2: "Yep, if Gawn, Petracca, Oliver, Viney, May, Lever and Jackson are all out we are a real chance"

    I’ve never really known AFL teams or players to game this, in fact if anything players resist getting onto the stretcher when they should to seem more macho. Total contrast to soccer, particularly European and international games, where they blatantly and disgracefully use it to slow momentum and waste time. I will never forget an Aussie match against Iraq where they used the stretcher what felt like every 5 minutes. The ref did nothing. Really glad AFL isn’t like that. 

    The older I get the fuzzier my memory gets Pates, but I definitely remember in the 90s (when they had the old school stretchers rather than the motorised carts) that when they ran on with a stretcher the game was stopped.  There were a few games where there was some commentary around some clubs gaming the system to stop momentum.  As a result the AFL introduced a rule that when the stretcher came  on the player had to leave the ground on the stretcher.  After this my memory isn't as clear as I can't remember exactly, but I'm inclined to think, the player that got onto the stretcher wasn't allowed back onto the ground  (maybe less to do with machismo and more to do with wanting to get back out there).

    Think it was 20 minutes minimum off the ground if stretchered off.

    Watching the Norf/Crows match. It's actually quite entertaining .... kinda like watching a country footy match. It's about that standard.

    There couldnt be more than 2000 people at this match in Tassie. There seems no point having North play there now, if there ever was.

    No point in them playing in Melbourne either 

    It’s got the Smell of Fitzroy all over it

    What have you got against Tassie? Tassie don't want them.

    The bones of a club are there. 
    nobody wants 19 Clubs. The talent pool isn’t big enough with 18 teams

    Looking forward to seeing the crowd figure for the Pies vs Giants today.  My Collingwood supporting mate gave it to me about the 37,700 on Thursday night.  Couldn't be many more there today by the looks of things.

    Probably too late to merge North with the Suns but it could be worth doing the sums.

    No one has an appetite for 19 teams unless we move to an 18 round season. With say three split weekends you would end up with a 21 week season so really not that much different to now. I suppose there are so many clubs hooked on blockbusters it might not work

    Merge North and St Kilda.

    It's a fair point, but personally I would put the connection Tasmanians feel towards a team they rightly deserve as more improtant than the so-called dilution of the talent pool. The existence GWS and GCS automatically negates that being a major issue. Not like we will stop watching footy if each team gets a bye. I would personally also aim for a NT team a few years later and pump money into developing players and social programs in the top end (as well as Tassie).

    Good idea but too much resistance given that you are upsetting two clubs

    Noble was giving the players a spray at 3/4 time and none of them were eye balling him. 

    His career has a stink about it. Imagine coaching for 30 years and then inheriting that side?

    ..and so are the maggots. Pathetic favouritism of Collingwood. They can't even give 50 without feeling remorseas if it's coming out of their pocket. Taylor??? ...impaired

    Collingwood to finish top 4 and a genuine chance for a GF spot.

    They’re fixture on the way home is a joke and they’re quite frankly too hard to play against. They make you earn every possession with their red hot pressure.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
