    I'd be surprised...

    In most cases these days personal stuff would be a no go zone unless you're a certain Brisbaner.

    Viney, but I think they have told him to curtail his whack-'em mold

    For sure Big kev.He's well spoken with wonderful hair but he will certainly give you something to remember the game by. And probably smile while he does it. All round class is our Jack. Love his work.

    On the subject of agro, was it just me but did Maxy look like he'd taken one of his get annoyed pills in the practice game?

    Yes seemed he had a point to prove. I hope they remember it's a marathon of a season though and don't blow their load before September again.

    Would you rather Viney tap him on the backside every time he gets a kick?

    Has to be one of the silliest comments on demonland. Nothing but respect to JJ, he busted his balls for us.

    Not sure why we are the underdogs in this one, Sydney aren't that great a side and are missing a lot of first choice mids especially if Adams is out as well now....the SCG doesnt hold any fears for us we should be able to come away with the W

    We're coming in on the betting market, it's nearly now even odds for both teams, have a feeling well be slight favourites by Wednesday.

    Oliver to play per Sam Edmund on SEN this morning. The club has apparently been impressed with his attitude, training standards, investment in his teammates etc...

    I think there is now enough noise to suggest that he'll be playing.

    I reckon this bloke would have sorted him out nicely (and a reminder about how many sleeps to go to the start of the season).

    Loved Jacko, followed him from end to end every quarter, possibly the most offbeat and entertaining Dee of all time.

    That said… his bark was infinitely more frightening than his bite

    That is, his bite as an enforcer/thug. His bite as a forward was consistently underrated.

    Have had opposition supporters saying they have inside info he won’t play all year.

    I have been replying all summer without any inside info, that he will play first round if his fitness is ok and Medical people have no issue.

    Hopefully he plays and has a great season and sticks it up the whole AFL media and opposition.

    Well we had dancing with your sister game against Richmond and then dancing with your aunt against the blues, now the season starts and I will be interested in watching how the forward lines works this year get this right and the season will look after itself.

    All big ticks for clarry.

    But also a massive tick for the club, how it has handled this situation, and yes its culture.

    And a massive cross for the media and the media model.

    Slam us for months with all the preseason from hell and salacious innuendo bulltish. Drive a narrative not supported by the facts. All's fair in clicks and war.

    And then don't balance that with any retractions or contrary stories and information.

    Sure, when clarry gets back and we are travellimg ok there will be a few token redemption stories, good for clicks.

    But they won't come close to balancing out all the slanderous, false narrative rubbish the media has thrown at the club for the last five months.

    By the by, Sammy is one of the few footy journalists I respect. He has been a lone voice of balance and non hyperbole. Good on him.

    So Clarry comes in for Pickett and no doubt pushes Tracc and Sparrow forward more. Nice little 5 man rotation with Salem and Viney.

    I still think Woey’s versatility makes him the right choice for sub.

    Only selection decisions left might be what to do with the struggling talls at each end but I’m guessing status quo unless Fullarton or T Mc really look the goods at training and in the invisible vfl game last week.

    Love to see it. Sounds like it'll be the first 22 from the Carlton game with Oliver replacing Kozzie?

    • 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.

      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?
