It’s been mentioned before but GWS are bloody good to watch. They’re so clean and hard at it. 
 

And they’re going to pick up more fans this year I reckon.

    Pick up another and that'll almost double it. Agree though. Good to watch.

    We'll never know, but I don't think Bedford would have developed further in our system. This is a team and a style that suits him and sometimes you need the upheaval - city, colleagues, environment - to take yourself to the next level. 

    He chose to leave and there wasn't a lot we could do to make him stay. Wish him nothing but success

    3 weeks ago Sportsbet gave me a $50 bonus bet, I split it into 4 x $12.50 bets. Took Suns, GWS and the other 2 games each way. Won $163.32, managed to salvage something this weekend.

    Bedford is just okay, he may catch the eye more but he's in the same ball park as Chandler, Spargo for mine 

    Agree. He’s lifted at GWS but he didn’t do much when he got chances with us, and certainly wasn’t applying the kind of pressure he does now.

    And even though some like to hate on Toby Greene, the guy is a f...ng legend of a player.  He is the complete player and I get goose bumps watching him.

    [and my daughter reckons the GWS is the best song other than 'Grand Old Flag']

    That's the things with the Filth.

    They fight to get all the hard game out the way early with their draw and then they don't leave melbourne after the half way mark of the year.

    So don't get to carried away with this.

     

    You prompted me to check!  Their last four games are tough - Carlton, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne - but yes, seven of their last eight will be at the MCG with just the one interstate trip (Sydney).

    GWS the pick of the bunch this round. Strong from back to front. Polished skills. If they can stay fit, in particular hogan, then they’re as good a chance as anyone this year.

    What happened to Jordan degoey? I didn't see him or hear his name in the 2nd half

    Literally stopped mid-stoppage with the play still evolving around him, to complain to the umps. Not a great look

    Greene is a freak player and hardly ever has a bad game. And when GWS weren’t doing great, he never dropped off.

    I went to our game Thursday and again tonight 

    I have to say that I do have a soft spot for GWS mainly because both Hogan and Bedford were favs - both played very very well tonight 

    It was a joy sitting in amongst some of the most feral animals and clueless Collingwood fans imaginable - I walked away thinking we desperately need more jails. It was particularly sweet to hear them turn on Mason and but best of all was the giants fans booing Maynard. Made up for some of the disappointment of Thursday night.

    Anyway from a footy perspective GWS are a very very good footy side and have strength all over the field - hard to pick a weakness - yes it’s round zero but they will be at the pointy end again this year

    bit of revisionist history about how much gw$ have changed - they were regular finalists for all but cameron's last season, from 2016 to 2022, missing only in that last year

    their side has been consistently close to contention for a long time

    their top tier players are still toby greene, kelly, whitfield, coniglio, himmelberg, ward plus some players they've brought on during that cameron era, like daniels, taylor, tom green, etc.

    very, very good list

    Giants look scary good. Hard at the contest, speed, skill. Very disciplined across the ground with everyone playing their role. Have the ability to make the ground small when defending but big when they are in possession which is great coaching. The thing that stood out for me was their talls would fly for a mark or bring it to ground and every single time there was a small at their feet ready. Can play tempo footy at the right time.Talent and structure the team to beat this year for me.

    Pies were shell shocked, having to jump on a plane to play a game, 1st interstate game since round 19, you c as b only imagine if GWS or the lions had the same draw, the pies supporters would be all over it! Until the afl fix the rigged draw!

    I doubt that the filth hierarchy/coaching staff + their filty supporters will be too upset.  They are the reigning premiers after all.

    I don't think the Dees will have a great year*, but I wouldn't be too upset to see GWS win. 

     

    *hope I'm wrong

    There a few things in life more pleasurable than watching Collingwood lose. AFL comment sections this morning have some wonderful reading material from their fans. 
     

    Just fills my heart with pure joy.

    • 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?
