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.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
