I’ve got no idea who wins today. I was supremely confident in the QF last year but they taught us lesson. All I know is that we’ll learn a lot about how we will go this year depending on the outcome of this game. This is an old fashion litmus test and audit of our game plan.

    I am stunned.

    Lose Grundy and Spargo can ruck.

    To then be risking JVR in his first game in the ruck, where we know knee injuries are common, would be unbelievable.

    If Tom hasn’t come up, we could have used Tommo as the sub, forward, back or even ruck.

    I'm genuinely just as stunned.

    3 weeks in a row now for Melksham even after a pretty pathetic performance from nearly a full game last week.

    It's obvious now they're trying desperately hard to get him to 100 games for the MFC which whatever... but it should have been spread out throughout the year.

    20 games to go in the home and away season after this one. Just saying!

    pies and swans look like the two teams to beat atm, but we know this changes through the season. 

    We we were 10-0 last year (and the year before). Couldn’t sustain that momentum either year, but recovered it in 2021 (helped by a good run with injuries). 

    it would be great to win without Max and Kozi, and would give us some confidence that we probably need to have when we play the Swans later in the year when it counts for more. 

    But, jeez, some perspective on this site would be nice! 

     

    Nah mate, this result dictates whether we are a serious contender or not

    If Spargo is kicking for goal after the siren from 40 out to win us the game, which side of the big and little sticks the ball floats if it makes the distance, will decide our fate for 2023

    Was at the game last year and Sydney’s kicking and marking tore us to shreds. Took us out of the game aerially all over the ground and their connection from backline to forward line made it so they could go end to end without us touching the ball. Much like last week, they had time and space to execute their skills. 
     

    We have to be the hunters! Apply pressure for 4 quarters, make them feel like they have no time and hit bloody hard around the ball. One thing you had to admire about hawthorns 3 flag teams, they had a mindset/attitude where they wouldn’t allow themselves to be hunted or physically beaten 2 games in a row. 
     

    I do believe we won’t be nearly as poor with skills/being fumbly today so I’m not worried about that, it’s coming out and not allowing Sydney to play their way. That’s how we beat them. 
     

    [censored] go out and smash em Dees, I want to see fire!!!

    I'm in the camp that if we don't either win or lose playing well then Goodwin is the problem. Yes he may of coached a Premiership but with the list he has.......SHOW ME THE MONEY!

    That being said I think we'll win well 25 points

    Shocked Tmac isn’t the sub. I have no idea what we do if we lose a tall. I hope the coaches do.

    he needs to get form back. he already has 17 touches 10 marks and a goal. T Mac getting back into form is much more important that who sits on the bench for likely 3 Quarters 

    we are playing the long game which is best i reckon.

    I love Kozzie but that hit was a total brain fade and he's let his team down.

    He's young so he gets a pass . Just hope he learns from it, appreciates the club sticking by him and resigns.

    We need his X factor. 

    Umm....signs up again. My bad.

    Any chance we can write re-signs? I always struggle with that one

    Is this really what you think? That Petracca is slow and Clarry can’t hit a target by hand? No idea how we won a premiership with such a slow unskillful group. 

    Yeah unfair on Oliver.

    Kossie is quick and I didn't say Trac was slow.

    Hitting a target by hand means they don't pick it up off their ankles

    Going to be interesting to see how Grundy goes today without Max.

    Well Grundy is a proven A grade ruckman and does not need to live in the shadow of Max Gawn. Only question is his form and fitness after playing only a couple of games in a year.

    Not quite sure what will happen today, much like before the Bulldogs game. Just want us to be the aggressive contested beast we all got used to before the middle/end of last year.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
