    Looking forward to seeing where we are in the grand scheme of things.

    We absolutely have no excuses for this game against the AFL's favourite child.

    Tmac to follow Cameron where ever he goes, he has the tank to stay with him.

    Not a very different team to what we be fielding this year and thank goodness it is not at Kardinia fortress that has been a finals catapult for the cats for so long.

    I listened in from the east coast of Italy. I doubt that Rohan has ever had a better game (16 d and 3.2).
    I know I’ve been bashing Petty somewhat but I notice he only took 3 marks and had 5 disposals in 84%TOG. I’m hoping he has a ‘round 20’ game this Saturday.

    Just finished listening to the podcast.

    And read through the ABC article you posted in the "How rest and preparation dictate AFL performance" thread.

    No doubt the FD are all over the rest vs 'training loads' ratios throughout a season and have the experience / data on every player etc.

    However i'm starting to wonder if Bin might be on the money regarding the impact of the extra training session on a long break between matches such as the bye week against the Tigers and this week against the Cats.

    If that theory holds any weight then i'd expect another ordinary or very poor opening quarter or half vs the Cats followed by some sort of uptick in the last three quarters or half.

    Hopefully not, as the Cats will eat us alive and win comfortably under that scenario.

    The alternative is we play it smart on the training track and gym, particularly for the more senior players.  Maybe not even throw the extra session at them and we come out cherry ripe from the get go??

    Was that the game Tomlinson was dropped after his 10 mark effort on Kings Birthday?

    Rohan killed us in that game and he’s in the mix to return this week.

    • 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.

    • 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?
