Who is our genius forward coach?

How we didn’t seek a new coach at the end of last season is beyond me.

I tell you hwat, any chance Petracca, Laurie, Howes, Van Rooyen, Schache and Chandler don't fumble the ball?

Sweet Jesus that goal was a slog.

The whole quarter. 

I don’t want to say much for that half other than I think Howes has looked good.

Otherwise dropped marks galore, sloppy strange kicks to nobody/wrong team, wasted chances, terrible i50.

Yuck.

Thank god for our full forward and centre-half-forward Eddie Langdon and Jack Viney for kicking the goals for us tonight. Honestly lads that was atrocious. Surely this isn't the gameplan? Either the players are absolute morons or the coaching staff are. I don't care which but we need to figure it out pronto.

Petraca has to play like Dustin Martin, he isn't at the moment. Too scared to have a crack at goal.

Laurie, not impressed.

JVR needs to do something in the 2nd half.

Great to see we have fixed our goal kicking and forward 50 entries….

Too many passengers. 2Q thoughts:

- Thank goodness for Windsor

- Oliver looks undercooked

- Gawn doing well

- ANB, Salem and Howes playing well

- Laurie and Schache having a mare

Is not up to it.

Chin shows more endeavour and effort but unfortunately neither of them are up to the challenge so far.  Laurie's a wet rookie.  Chin's had a few more goes.

Chin hasn't performed since about round 8 or 9 last season and only minor impact since returning from his (too) short stint in the mcgoos.

Too easily pushed off the contest for mine.

Why does Goody keep playing him?

I can only imagine he’s a training hero, loves a practice match (hey he was good against Carlton last week) but he shows nothing when the game means something.

All throughout the pre-season the talk that we would improve and be better... So far we look as bad as last year, inside 50 galore for 1 miserable goal. Btw Oliver looks underdone.

And for the life of me I didn’t see a single finger on ANB’s goal. Not sure how they made that decision so quickly.

Atrocious conditions, play the conditions don't try to be too cute.

This is wet weather conditions play the percentages.

Same problems with our accuracy.

no doubt the AFL are happy they scheduled these two teams for the season opener. 

Yeah, this is proof the AFL don’t think things through. 2 teams built on defence. Just what the casual fan doesn’t want. And all because they are too busy worrying about what the NRL is doing, instead of focusing on their own product.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
