It’s too late for Meth Coke and North now. Probably Hawthorn as well, the Map of Tassie will be cleaning up on young talent. 
there will be a few Clubs very concerned about the future 

when you really don't want to be poor in 2027-2031

they - and the eventual 20th team - will pick the eyes out of the draft

    Yes i am a little concerned for us, but if we can nail top talent in the next 2 years we may be able to get through the 2 new teams

    Zero sympathy for the eagles. An arrogant footy club. An extended period at the bottom might them and their supporters some humility

    Tiges have had a crack but I expect the swans to pull away in the second half.

    if you look at their history, this is what they do - compete and be there or thereabouts, win a premiership, hang around competing, bottom out... rinse / repeat

    they've only been out of finals for three seasons, and presumably 2024 will be their fourth missing out in a row

    they’ve never bottomed out like this  it’ll take many years to compete after this

    Good to see Richmond taking the game on and have a go.

    As for West Coke im convinced they are worse than us during the Neeld years, which is saying something.

    Richmond exposing a massive weakness in the Swans. I hope their young players can keep it up for 4 quarters. Pressure the kicker (Heeney, Gulden, Papley etc... ) at the point of kicking and their elite kills disappear. And the Tiges forward spread is tearing he Swans apart.

    Watching the last quarter of the NBL final between Jack jumpers and united. Game 5 decider. It’s down to the wire.

    getting the Eagles back into contention is way more important to the AFL than supporting Tasmania

    Not sure that will be the case. The AFL won’t want a weak Tassie Side in the Comp if they have just had a new Stadium built. 
    I think West Coast are in a tail spin that will take years to recover from. 
    Hawthorn and North are close behind

    Is what Grundy is doing at centre bounces legal?  He runs across the line as soon as the ump goes into his bounce routine and before the ump hits the ball on the ground.   ???

    I’d love to try and get Tim Kelly to the club somehow.

    Surely he’s sick of losing, even if he is at home.

    Don’t worry about Kelly who is a WA boy. Go hard for Reid 😂

    I read this week on AFL.com (I think) that Max was crook with the flu going into the Sydney game. The club didn’t want it reported on.

    Brodie is mid tier these days, and his lack of marking is a liability.

    Tiges looking like a really good bottom six side this year.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
