Darcy - [censored] off - show some impartial comments for once 

free for JVR was ruck infringement where Swans ruck decided not to contest but simply jump and look at JVR and push him with both arms !! Really not contesting the footy

    I rate his tackling and disposal on par with Langdon's and miles better than Jordon's.

    FWIW, I fully endorse diversity of opinion but Hunter has randomly been a whipping boy on this site all year. Langdon had a long form slump in the first half of the season and he didn't get nearly as much criticism as Hunter does.

    Every time he gets the ball he does 1.5 turns on the spot... Like my dog preparing to 💩

    Momentum killing  ends up having to sky/bomb kicks

    Interesting call from Buddy to do a farewell at the SCG but not do anything at the Grand final.

    I guess Sydney is his home now and he's played there for years. Nothing more to it?

    He actually hates the spotlight. I’m surprised he even agreed to this to be honest. Didn’t even attend his own press conference to announce his retirement.

    That's what I'm getting at. I'm really surprised he's doing this as well. Guess it means enough to him that he would get past the shyness to go out and give thanks to his home crowd.

    I wonder what he thinks of his time in Melbourne and at Hawthorn. I think if you asked him he'd consider himself 95% a Sydney player despite playing fewer games there and getting no flags.

    Swans are playing for a home final so hardly meaningless 

    That is irrelevant to the MFC

    The Swans have no right to choose anything after last weeks disgrace

    Buddy walking his lap, good on him champion but a Hawthorn champion not Swans one in my eyes

    afl legend full stop

    i thought we were very experimental in that half - riv in the middle the entirety of q2, jvr in the ruck more than gawn, hunter started in the centre square at one point, may playing a very, very high line, we rolled two back defensively and let them have an extra two at the stoppage

    Our backline is just so much better with Tomlinson in there. He’s not superstar, but he plays his lockdown role well enough (88% one on one win rate, best at the club). He allows the rest of our backs to play to their strengths. It’s almost become comical now watching our defense turn to water when he’s dropped.

    We’re just cruising today so fingers crossed for no injuries.

    They've kicked 3 goals in a half.

    Our defence is doing just fine.

    Buddy?

    He’d make a terrible coach.

    He is very introverted. I doubt he will stay involved in the game.

    Not sure why you don't rest players if you are going to play so many out of position. So much for the required match play.

    Grundy giving a ruck masterclass at Casey today

    Good on him I say. I was at the Hawthorn v Essendon game when he kicked that running goal along the members wing. One of the most spectacular individual moments I've witnessed. Will live with me forever. Sydney is his home and he's ready to move on. Godspeed, Buddy.

    First time in the game day thread, once the game starts that is, for me in a couple or seasons.

    Quite a vibe - can imagine it would be fun in a game that had something riding it and we were losing.

    Some random comments:

    What's with the ragging on Hunter? It's 2023 - do people not understand he has a specific role, which he is playing to a very high standard?

    Turner doing well. His ability to zone off and work rate and pace to be a handball receive option is why he is in ahead of tomo, and why he is genuine chance to remain in the team

    May moving well, which is brilliant. Love him pushing up high.

    Dees playing 2 and 3 less at the stoppages in order to have players behind the ball is genius. Feeding our intercept game and remarkably we are plus 7 foe clearances.

    Love the focus on deefence.

     

    See you all in the post match thread

    Yes. He was a bad boy in Melbourne…

    Salem is actually inept. Tomlinson would be better in the side at this point. Even Jordon.

    Nibble won that ball in the forward 50 to nearly set up a goal, then halved the contest in the defensive 50 to save one.

    We gave it up anyway but damn, he's so valuable for us. He's really elevating his attacking game over the last month too I think.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
