Just remembered we have the swans next week, essentially being a reverse of our finals games last year. And we again have that fear as to which demons team will turn up next week, and injuries 😔

It's starting to feel like, despite moulding ourselves around contested ball, we just struggle really badly in more physical games. Some of our more highly rated players,  e.g. Petracca, just get massively fumbly in high intensity games.

I thought we were the 2nd best team in it last year and should have made the GF...but maybe we finished up where we belonged. We might just have caught a lucky break in 21 getting 3 teams in the finals that weren't playing really physical football. Who knows...but Sydney, just like Collingwood, are a terrible match up for us as they'll fight physically from start to end...and I'm not sure anymore that our guys are up to that kind of contest. Success in this sport is hugely aligned to your ability to apply and absorb physical pressure.

    I honestly think today was a constant string of things that didn’t go our way. Salem, May, then Max. I also think the conditions worked against us, and worked really well for Brisbane. We are a much cleaner side than this usually.

    Let’s not get sucked in by tonight. It’s been a rare one.

    I agree with the points you made but quick fast ball movement will win games this year, our inside 50 entries are still a mess. We may have straightened things up but we’re kicking to congested areas.  Clear the fwd 50 a bit. Kosi a massive loss.

    We actually barely warmed up when we came out...

    Fingers crossed no injuries.

    Thanks Webber.

    FWIW I hear that this is the opposite knee to the one he has had recommended x2

    That’s probably good, but doesn’t mean the ACL is safe. The incident itself looked innocuous enough as a ‘valgus’ force, meaning the inside of the knee was ‘stretched’. My immediate thought was medial ligament (MCL). There was however a bit of ‘external tibial rotation’ (foot fixed as knee rotates inwards), potentially implicating the ACL. Medial meniscal tears will also sometimes come with MCL tears. Patience is required.

    Only 12 more injuries in 12 minutes can top this day off. 


    Booing lions supporters. What great sports they all are.

    Enjoy your backward music with your state of art electrical grid.

    For every goal we kick, they need to kick 1.5+ goals for the recommencement to benefit them more than us.

    Oliver ball watching is bizarre. Is he sick? Serious question

    Just go for goal ffs 

    We have certainly learned from this debacle, that "just kick it long" does NOT work.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
