    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.

    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"

    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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
