Really struggling with Afl withdrawal.

A bit of a Twilight zone sensation.

Must hold on. Thanks for letting me prattle.

 

AFLW first round taking place this weekend but you’ve missed our game. We smashed the pies. A portent of things to come hopefully

Last night with no game on I came to the realisation I’m married with three kids.

Highly recomend listening to Max's presser from yesterday. Its a class act.

He takes responsilbity, in part, for not being in the best form to help Grundy/Gawn succeed.

Public demo of his outstanding leadership in that one approach to a sensitive issue, and his heartfelt description of the impact on the team of Jake Melksham's injury.

Afterwards you'll feel great!

 


I was looking forward to this weekend because with no football, I had planned to sink many hours into Starfield... until I discovered it was in "early access" and you have to pay $50 just to "unlock" it. I'll wait until next week to play it with Game Pass.

I know that means nothing to most people here but just know there are far bigger scams in this world then the cost of AFL Finals tickets.

Race 9 at Caulfield is a beauty. 

Old Firm game on Sunday will fill the void.

AFL 23 hasn't been released for Xbox!

It's been 6 months now.

Kudos on being a gamer, and a Xbox one.

Our future home?


Arsenal v man utd the big game in the EPL this weekend. They are all playing for second spot though. Can’t see anyone other than city winning it.

Go watch your local footy if they're playing in the finals.

No better atmosphere then finals at country footy level.

Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time.

You should book an appointment with your dentist. Top off a perfect day.

Well, I hope the 5 of you enjoyed watching our magnificent AFLW Premiers destroy Collingwood then! 😈

You can always set yourself up with a beer, some chips and the replay of the 21 granny. Never gets old.

I didn’t mate, the kids were all out with friends and I’ve caught a bug, so I was out cold early.

You can try ringing a Geelong supporter and ask them what they do in September...

Shameless plug:

Puzzle thread. Still 24 hours. 🤔

Oh well, there's always the replay. I can recommend it.

 

I went to the AFLW match last night. Girls played some really good Dees Brand Footy. 

I'd encourage anyone missing footy this weekend to go watch the second half replay on Kayo.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

  • PREGAME: Collingwood

    After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
