Is Kozzy injured? He couldn't kick straight to save his life.

    3 out of bounds in the last qtr!!

    Are we now finals chokers?

    Consecutive losses: 3 with pretty poor performances in each. 

    Also bugger off Richo and Maynard had no care for how Gus was. Just trying to defend his thuggery. 

    So deflated. Blues/swans will know we are gettable. 

    Where did we go tonight???!!

    Grundy will be practising his set shots all week after this. Van Rooyen one week no doubt.

    Sad that even with our poor kicking we let Pies win tge game in tge first quarter. 

    Our midfield and wings were disgraceful in the first.

    And we'll go into the next match without Brayshaw and probably JVR. 

    Nice while it lasted, but we are not winning it from here even if we do win next week.

    Very selfish from Rivers, why take a 45 m kick when you have players all around the goal square.

    Lost in the first quarter. For a team coming off 2 insipid finals performances last year to get smashed at the contest like we did in Q1 is just hard to fathom.

    How many teams have done two consecutive straight sets exits? Are we going to add another 'embarrassing record' to our list?

    Essendon did it about six years in a row before becoming a powerhouse.

    That was sheethouse.
    Continuous long bombs into a crowded forward line and sheet kicking.
    I'm sure there'll be "learnings."
    But it won't be from the coach.

    Fritta and TMac looked like 2 guys who haven't played for months. And now we have to go the long way, without Gus or JVR.

    Tmac is cooked

    Literally just handed the flag to Collingwood.

    Here i was thinking I had full faith in Goodwin, but how wrong was i. We're heading for a straight set exit in finals two years in a row purely of arrogant teams selections and senior players failing to stand up when needed.

    McDonald, Salem, Chandler Laurie were absolutely trash.

    Petracca and Gawn were the only ones willing to stand up but unfortunately the rest didn't want to follow.

    McDonald can honestly retire for all i care. Needed that goal to just completely turn the game and he had a mare.

    So disappointing.

    I agree, JJ would have been better.  He was barely sighted (On tv) like a few of our players.

    Wet weather. Play slow. Kick behinds. Lose.

    Effectively killed our season in that first quarter. We knew that’s what they’d bring, more than anything else about the game. Match them, and it was ours to lose. Let them get a more than 3 goal jump, and it would be too much. That we failed to stop them is enormously disappointing and frustrating. But we just weren’t up to it. Hope it’s not a wasted chance at a flag, but it’s sure looking that way. And to any of you saying Collingwood don’t deserve to be where they are now, wake up! It’s a four quarter game.

    I felt sick after Gus went down, incredibly tough for the players to come back from that. Could be career ending.

    5 mins longer and we likely win that.

    Incredibly frustrating game and there’s some hard questions to be asked of a number of players.

    Also, Cox is the biggest piece of [censored] going round, the dive into Trac’s legs and then holding it while he twists is so incredibly dangerous

    That's the sad truth brother. Fingers crossed for Gus but it's not good news.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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?
