Speaking of Geelong, I checked that excluding 2020, the last time we didn’t have to travel to GMHBA was 2014. Every season it’s either only been one game a season and it’s been at GMHBA or twice and hence still a game at GMHBA.

Is the reason for this because we’re an easy selection to get them to their 9 game quota which they need to fill against at least some Victorian clubs?

    Gee today is a gold mine for the media. Hawks vs Roos and Tigers vs weagles. 

    It's somewhat short of compelling viewing , that's for sure od .

    In fact I've spent the afternoon enjoying the rare sunshine at The Manor.

    Grand old flag is far and away the best theme song in the league. Obviously. Tigerland not bad and I don’t mind the Crows song. other than those I don’t care much for the rest of them.

    Sorry GoF will always be a jingoistic US knock off

    The Crows song is arguably worse being that of the US Marines !!

    Amazing France has never complained about Brisbane/Fitzroy using the National Anthem of France

    Time for a reset of the knock offs IMO

    I don't know but in any case it gives me the sh1tz. I'm worried about them catching us. Must beat the Croweaters this week.

    Even in 2020 they fixtured us down there before COVID ruined the original fixture.

    I can’t see them catching us. They have Brisbane away, Port, Collingwood, Saints (at Marvel) and the Dogs to come. They will lose at least two of them, surely. 
    If we go 5-1 or even 4-2 from here, then we should have them covered. They’ll be dangerous in September though.

    Realistically?

    Is there a chance of Hawks passing Freo

    Yes. They play each other in round 24, and Hawks still play Richmond, Saints and Dogs down in Tassie. They could definitely win 2-3 more games. 
    Freo might only win one more, against West Coast.

    The Crows tune is the exact same as The Sash (My Father Wore) that many Rangers supporters (and ardent unionists in the Orange Order) sing. 

    I do think ours is the best but also like North Melbourne's and the banjo in Sydney's.

    Not sure Demonland. I reckon he might get one week

    And considering JVR was almost suspended anything is possible.

    Interesting....from the web

    The original music is from the Gendarmes' Duet (the "bold gendarmes") from the 1867 revision of the opera Geneviève de Brabant by Jacques Offenbach (1819-1880), which debuted in Paris in 1859.

    On the Grand Old Flag

    Written by George Cohan of Yankee Doodle Dandy fame....

    The original lyric for this perennial George M. Cohan favorite came, as Cohan later explained, from an encounter he had with a Civil War veteran who fought at Gettysburg. The two men found themselves next to each other and Cohan noticed the vet held a carefully folded but ragged old flag. The man reportedly then turned to Cohan and said, "She's a grand old rag." Cohan thought it was a great line and originally named his tune "You're a Grand Old Rag." So many groups and individuals objected to calling the flag a "rag," however, that he "gave 'em what they wanted" and switched words, renaming the song "You're a Grand Old Flag".

    Just said on 7 news that it’s looking likely that North will get another priority pick again this year?! WTF

    They are not even bottom of the ladder, does that mean West Coast are getting extra picks as well. 
    Also showed Clarkson at the under 18,s- is this a little sweetener to get him to come back?

    Did anyone else expect Brayden Maynard to get done for dangerous tackles?

    Very similar to the Chandler one I thought.

    Sydney's song is great "bring down the thunder ..."

    North's is very ordinary, especially the "out they come" prelude.

    • 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.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
