Gerard Healey comparing Jimmy Stynes to Mason Cox. Give me a break. 

 

What did he actually say? I mean Jim achieved the ultimate in the game as an individual. Was picked in the State of Origin side. Cox plays one good game every 8 weeks. They were talking up his player ratings. It’s laughable to compare them

He was gushing about Cox, how great he is and how he came from the U.S. and learned our game and blah blah blah then almost as an afterthought he tacked on a throwaway line to the effect of “…and Jim Stynes came over from Ireland.”

Just on the subject of Cox, that USA chant makes me sick. It’s one thing to have the American flag in the crowd (I have to say that’s ok since we wave Irish flags at our AFLW matches for our Irish girls) but to chant a player’s nation is bs. Why only an American player?????

Everyone said we were miles ahead last year too at round 10. And we all know how that turned out. 
Smashing GWS at the MCG without Toby Green is not a premiership winning achievement ffs. 
Yes they are setting the tone. Their game plan is what we’ve all adjusted to and they are hard to beat. But they aren’t impossible to beat and player vs player we have a superior list of talent. We absolutely can win it this year. But we have a lot to work on. Lucky it’s only May.

Yes. Not close as a player or a sportsman, philanthropist or an all round humanitarian. Gerald Healey hang your head in shame.

Barely noticed Nick Daicos today yet he has had 40 disposals

He gets a few by kicking out after a behind and getting a handball receive when he runs past a player who's taken a mark.

Collingwood are going to be in the grand final aren't they? They're likely to win it. 

I mean we can't beat them. We haven't beaten them in years.

We have a great record against the pies in grand finals. Beaten them 6 times while they have beaten us just the once.

Collingwood miles ahead of everyone else and they’ve got multiple players to come back.

The only thing going for the rest of the comp is that they have peaked too early and will run out of gas.

They can be beaten, it appears some on here would lie down very quickly.

Adding to that we’ve still got Carlton twice plus Richmond, North and the Hawks again. 
Games against Port, Pies, Cats and Lions crucial to our top 2 hopes.

No excuses not to finish top 4, top 2 very desirable.

Absolutely. 

And after this Round likely Top 8 wont also change now just the final positions. 

Newbies from 2022 will be port crows and saints. All deserving.

Bombers and Blues can whistle Dixie for rest of the season.

Collingwood look very good, but no better than we did this time last year and we all know how that turned out…. 

Loooooooooong season and anything can still happen.

Melbourne, Collingwood, Brisbane and Geelong all seem a cut above the rest at the moment.  Port Adelaide, Crows and Bulldogs also a chance on their day.

They've played mostly the same teams as us but got close to Collingwood and port Adelaide. Honestly we have had a softer draw 

I said fixture, so taken into account the draw and the travel as well. They’ve had a very easy run.

I love how we are poised this time round. I'd rather be underdogs on King's birthday.

Are we lead by a Chamberlain, or a Churchill??

For those that have the Pies pencilled in as premiers, no premier in about 20 years has been outside the top 6 at defending inside 50s.

Pies appear to be so even all over the ground. 

Their midfield of De Goey, Crisp, Mitchell, Daicos, etc. bat deeper than probably every team including us.

They may be vulnerable against our dual rucks though...

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
