jacko up to 4 disposals now with a metres gained of -23

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

Guess that why I haven’t noticed him.   Though it on in the background while more interesting are being done 

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

7012 at GWS v Crows R1 blockbuster.

Another great AFL corporate success story. 

Dont believe they have thousands of payed up members.

Bombers on top, take a photo Essendon fans 


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.

So Essenscum are on top of the ladder. Vomit.

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"

That's them. You're all over it Dub!

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: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
