Mother's Day: Goodness gracious me. Congrats to the AFL.

For years, especially when we were performing poorly, the AFL would schedule us at 1pm on Mother's Day at the MCG while we'd be mocked for getting a crowd of only 15,000.

Well, strike me dead. I just looked at next week's schedule and lo and behold ....

1pm Collingwood vs West Coast (which will be 11am in Perth)
Furthermore, it's to be played at Docklands. Yes, Collingwood will play a home game at Docklands.

I'm flabbergasted that the AFL have done something so good with their fixturing. So kudos to the AFL.

    Most Pies fans don’t know who their mother is, so it’s fine.

    Father's Day must be so confusing for them too

    I met this woman a few years ago who told me how she had six children under 10 years of age.

    All the kids, both boys and girls, were called 'Daicos' because she was such a massive Collingwood fan.


    "Fair enough" I said "but how do address your kids given they all have the same name?"


    "No problem" she told me."I just call them by their surnames"

    On mine it corrects to "colon". So, basically the same thing.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
