Seems to be a bit of divided opinion about Harmes's game. Thoughts on his output and role? I feel like he's often a slow starter (in games and in seasons), but with pressure on spots...

Also don't forget to mention the epic re-signing announcement for the women's team - I know you won't miss it, but there's so much to discuss, so just making triple sure. That was some intense solidarity in the face of some (relatively speaking) big bucks.

Man o man the coincidences are piling up. Not 5 mins ago i sent this message to andy 'a reminder andy we should highlight the fact 28 AFLW players resigned'.

Awesome news. I'm sure GerogeĀ will be all over it

I haveĀ a question for you DIO.Ā 

I heartilyĀ cheered and clapped the AFLW team as they walked past where i was sitting. Was about to yell out something along the lines of go girls, or some such. But i don't like the term girlsĀ for women.

But i couldn't think of an alternative. I thought about yelling "well done women" but it didn'tĀ soundĀ right. And 'well done dees AFLW team' is even worse.Ā 

So, my question. What is an alternative to girls when yelling support to multipleĀ dees women players?

What about heroes?

From Chat GPT

"A possible alternative to using "girls" when yelling support to a women's football team would be to use "women," "ladies," or "players." Using any of these terms shows respect for the players' gender and emphasizes their athletic ability and skill, rather than focusing on their gender."

'Hey ladies......'Ā

God it was so good to [censored] the winging Beverage and those arrogant Dogs.

And how refreshing is it to have 4 normally best 22 players too come in and have no idea who makes way for them.

Glad I'm not part of the coaching staff, might be a year where players have to show it in the VFL before getting straight back into the side!

Tomlinson for May.

Pickett for Fritta.
McVee for Salem.

Fair enough.

Will Hibbo get a guernsey against the lions? How good was Melksham's goal.

Sorry didn't see this question. I don't think they will play Hibberd this week. I think Judd McVee will get the gig on Cameron. It's a big ask and I can't wait to see how he goes.

Melksham's goal was awesome. Perfect use of the sub.

Totally agree on the Discussions about TMac and Harmes

Harmes 42 pressure actsā€¦

That allows the midfield to take control..

Options:

  1. Ask the female players what term they would prefer
  2. The word 'guys' is the only regularly used word, previously referring to males exclusively, that I am aware of that has become somewhat gender-neutralĀ in the recent past. Maybe that can work.

Bit late for the podcast but reflecting on Saturday nightā€™s team we had the 4 injured premiership players missing plus the unlucky JJ out as well from the 2021 premiership team. Does he qualify as a ā€œpremiership playerā€?

Of course he does. He has a Premiership medal and was an important cog in the machine that enabled us to finish on top of the ladder. Traditionalists may disagree but players like Jayden Hunt were very important to the success of the team that year too. I'm not suggesting that they all get medals or be called premiership players but they were important parts of a very successful team.

Had precisely the same dilemma, then very happily realised we all use ā€œBOYSā€ for the menā€™s team (who ever shouts ā€œGO MENā€?) Thus, for me, ā€˜GIRLSā€™ is entirely appropriate (despite seeming like a cutesy diminishment from a middle-aged man), and itā€™s a relief, because the alternatives are very odd out of the mouth. Also, listening to the middle-aged women at MFC AFLW games, and ā€˜Girlsā€™ is their preferred. The problem obviously then comes with respect to those who identify as they/them. Iā€™m toying with ā€œDee-humansā€ as the future. ā€œGO YOU MIGHTY DEE-HUMANS!ā€ Hmmmmā€¦ā€¦.ā€™DEE-BODSā€™ maybe?Ā

if Jayden Hunt isnā€™t a premiership player than JJ isnā€™t either imo. he didnā€™t play even one minute in the GF.Ā 

Hopefully the AFL have changed this ridiculous rule that non-playing subs get assigned a game. Ā

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sundayā€™s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullartonā€™s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Caseyā€™s three matches and, with Melbourneā€™s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next weekā€™s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forwardā€™s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasnā€™t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the teamā€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneā€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.Ā There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight.Ā Since that game, the Demonsā€™ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where theyā€™ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ā€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sundayā€™s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
