A rare insightful piece of analysis from the media in the form of this article from Rohan Connolly of ESPN.

Why the Demons can rise above off-field drama in 2024

Please note the siteโ€™s code of conduct continues to apply but otherwise discussion on the football aspect is most welcome.ย 

Love RoCo!ย 

Very well said.ย

It's not just because he's tipping us but because he understands what culture means in a club. Think back 12-15 months ago and Collingwood who had issues with De Goey and Ginnivan as well as ongoing off field issues with racism. The club dealt with those things while the playing group kept its eyes on the ball and played the game the way it should be played.

Concerned about culture? Think a club like North Melbourne with its many young players, the very talented player they just lost and the bloke who's coaching them. Good Lord!

Thanks RoCo for pointing out what we all know on here. Corn and his crew won't like it of course


Nice to see some 'balance' at last!

Unbelievably sensible article, always liked Rohan Connolly.

Great into and summary all in the first para:

"Nothing fuels media lust forย AFLย content like a good off-field controversy. Particularly when it's the off-season and there's nothing else to write about."

ย 

It does also make me wounder about the weird commercial media landscape we now live in, when some of the only decent reporting comesย courtesy of an American sports channel / news outlet.

ย 

Heโ€™s a proper journalist. Like Greg Baum. Theyโ€™re on the margins of mainstream sports journalism now, but only because they refuse to be part of the click-bait garbage media that gives brainless ex-footballers prime air and print time. Needless to say the Herald-Sun wonโ€™t be knocking on Rohan Connollyโ€™s door.ย 


Thankyou Rohan Connolly, as always a great balanced article from an experienced journalist.

at last. some balance. and sense

you'd almost forgive him for being an Essendon supporter.

Boy some people are quick ย to throw stones out of the ย Glasshouse .ย Give it 5 years to test for some one like DGoey Sticks and Stones ย with him, itโ€™s only Names with Clarko. ย TT different ย of course.

By the time you go back a decade at least and your ego driven Ex Pres with his issues plus Maynardโ€™s thuggery you arenโ€™t exactly out of the โ€œwoods โ€œ just yet.ย 

Still doesnโ€™t alter the fact that your fans are 75% feral so ย donโ€™t go shouting out this soon. ย

I'm beginning to realise that, just read the GameDay thread, it's Feral City.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
