Was the most stupid and funniest movie of that year. Had a certain Mel Brooke's feel about it.

    Hibbo is a massive loss if he doesn’t get up. A perfect match up for Papley. 

    He will be fine. One tough hog.

    I’ve read conflicting reports on Hibberd. Cleary is saying he had gastro symptoms, however the Fox Sports person reported that he’s just under the weather and The Age has said he’s unwell but not actually gastro.

    I’d be testing Goodys food. He enjoys dodgy fish around finals time and needs to learn to fully cook his chicken.  Did he have Hibbo over for a meal!

    If we can’t beat the Swans without Hibberd we aren’t winning the Premiership. 

    Have to agree with this.

    If we can't win without our 16-23rd best player, it's not going to be a very enjoyable September.

    He will be missed though if he's out, or off his tucker if selected.

    I guess one good thing may have come from Covid 🇨🇳🦠 and that is they don’t share water bottles or at least squirt them rather than put their lips to them.  
    Hopefully they haven’t shared bottles or glasses etc

    The severity of which will depend upon the scoreboard.

    I reckon Hibberd will fine. 

    Gotta catch a break ( figuratively speaking of course) with our backline eventually.

    It's never just one bloke, about a billion times more contagious than Covid, please hook him up to an IV, it's the lack of fluids that flattens you.

    just mind games to confuse swans

    I'd reckon that there are a few of these mind games circulating between and across the Demons and the Swans. Sides selected tonight from which some second-thinking may be clarified. Those secrets and innuendos are difficult to ascertain, so we have to wait until Friday night, I guess.

    Maybe he’s just sick of the standard of journalism in this country?

    He's possibly preparing the alimentary canal for a great opportunity upon his opponent Friday night.

    Running 12-15 Ks in an AFL game the day after copping a bout of gastro can't be great preparation. 

    Thankfully not wearing the away shorts tomorrow

    No Hibbo wasn't there. It was roast pork apparently, and he declined the invitation stating it would be too cannibalistic.

    My big problem with this story is has Goodwin peaked early this year.

    • 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?
