    Freo unimpressive, both sides super scrappy with lots of skill errors

    I think it’s safe to say that none of the teams who played today will go on to win trophies this year… unless we consider a wooden spoon a trophy.

    sometimes a unicorn is just a horse with a cone stuck to its forehead

    Dorks have no choice but to have a big cleanout and play the kids 😀

    Bombers will win the day but I back Mitchell to fare better than Scott in the long run.  First year taking over a big club... don't overachieve.  Rutten snuck into finals and then they expected top 4 and he was sacked. Logic doesn't come into it

    Mitchell will play kids, tinker with game plans and has already traded a lot of senior players (tank). will pick up high draft picks.  when Hawks win 8-10 games next year it will be seen a success for him

    Meanwhile Scott will be under pressure

    Playing too many kids is fraught with danger.  Especially so these days

    Need to surround kids with experienced talent. That's the tried and true method (and template)

    Even the much vaunted '93 baby bombers had quite a number of experienced players in the team

    So did the Hawks bring in players like Vince & Cross as we did?  Later on we brought in players with 3-5 years experience like Melksham & Hibberd, Lever etc 

    In fact, our recruitment of experienced talent goes a little unnoticed as compared to the gun young talent we recruited from the various draft's

    Bombers fans should enjoy what might be the high point of their season.

    They've got Suns, Saints & GWS all in Melbourne coming up.

    They'll be top for a while yet sadly.

    Perhaps that's good. Builds up false expectations in their fan base before they meet the Melbourne buzzsaw.

    Hard to find a better snapshot of knuckleheads and halfwits.

    Have they still got the same banners?

    "Inject me Dank"

    "THE WEAPON"

    "I'm anti-vax but pro-unapproved peptides"

    Hawthorn are likely bottom 2. Glad Essendon can have fun beating them. 

    Fremantle meanwhile struggling to deal with an injury-riddled bottom 6 St Kilda. Not a great start to their supposed “Flagmantle” season.

    I'm in transit so can only take a quick glance at stats.

    Q1 is Jackson playing for or ruck because he has no stats for either position.

    Q2 is Fyfe okay?

    I'm loving that the bombers are going to the their hopes up with a few early wins

     

    meanwhile Freo...  must be Ross's tactics.  Check out the Saints fwd line or lack there of

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
