I suggest a lifetime ban for anyone who chooses Geelong as their preferred winner.

Honest question about where AFL football is at. Why can seemingly no players kick with their non preferred foot any more? Or are they advised not to because of some analysis of the likely outcome of using it?

So many times players are breaking in a certain direction and have to stop and double back to get on their preferred foot.

Why has this skill fallen away so much over the last 20 to 30 years? These guys are now full time footballers...

Fast track development means the talent is matched against equal talent at quite a young age.

In the old days a coach would tell a very good player that for a season  (say under 16) play using the non preferred only.

Just doesn't happen anymore

And just like that, geelong now become the hunted, everyone will dissect their game plan and will play their granny against them every week, they have the weight of expectation. 

They might be able to handle it fine but I'm glad our boys can have somewhat of a break from the overwhelming expectation we had every week.

You could see the moment on the siren when Hawkins looked over and saw Gary Rohan, and he clearly thought to himself….

’I still reckon you’re an average bloke who can’t play finals, and shouldn’t have left his wife when she was pregnant with your child to shack up with our team Physio’.

It was a nice moment.

Just now, Sir Why You Little said:

We did that 2 weeks ago. Straight Sets

Totally unacceptable 

Spot on, we could not beat the lions or Swans and we see how well they did the following couple of weeks. We can commence 2022 without that swans disaster hanging round out necks.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
