    Because we were ot good enough for a half of footy. Our midfield is wildly out of form.

    Sydney are the team to beat. There is no doubt about it. Thank goodness grand finals are not played on that postage stamp ground. 
     

    Very important to finish top 2 or on the non Sydney side of the draw to avoid playing them at home.

    That’s a Sydney members only section. We sit in the pocket a few bays around from them. 

    Appreciate that, not sure how that’s fair though.

    Winning the center.

    Winning loose ball contested

    Winning more of the 1 v 1s

    Holding up across HB

    The Swans have a number of VG running mid types in size who are strong at the contest, over the ball and able to burst out of congestion

    Their entries inside are mostly either quick kicks / bombs to the square and/or looking to target a free player  near the hot zones after going wide via the flanks.

    If the ball hits the deck inside 50 they're super competitive here also and quick to pounce if it gets to the outside

    Gonna be very hard to beat if they hold form and not too many injuries

    LOL. At this rate Carlton will finish this weekend 10th with a % under 100.

    WCW likely to have an answer. Probably the same reason that the Cats, prior to the new stand being built, had the away cheer squad on the flank. For some reason seats behind the goals are highly sought after. I reckon the GFC were told by the AFL they had to hand over one end (for TV purposes) when the new stand was built. 

    At Mordor we sat on the wing (next to the race, absolutely freezing) while construction of the new stand was underway. Now that it’s complete, the Geelong cheer squad sit behind the goals in the new stand and opposition cheer squads sit in their old bay.

    We did beat them for 3 quarters, by 37 points, and they were absolutely perfect for the other.

    Bedford Jordan and Grundy, would love that depth, I think Jordan plays a more accountable game than Sparrow. Good luck to them all, not complaining just observing.

    very impressive from the Swans.

    always enjoyable watching Carlton get thumped

    Sydney haven’t had their captain(Mills) all season. He’s back in the coming weeks. Plus they are without their best defender tonight too. I had thought they were over rated, time to have a rethink.

    They are playing very good now. But so were GWS before they hit a wall. Look at Geelong 3 on the trot now. Can happen anytime. The only time you want to start to look invincible is 2 weeks from finals not now. 

    The only advantage for them is to manage the load of their players. So they are fresh going into finals.

    Carlton getting a solid reality check here

    We should have iced those dorks last wk 😔

    Looking back, aside from the tigers’ win against the swans, we have been the closest to them - with a 22 point loss - and we played like TRASH - and were in it at 3Q (2 points down) before they ran away with it in the conditions.

    Gives some comfort I guess. 

    Anyway, good to see the blues getting smoked. Just wish we did it!

    I know the set up coz I live 25km from the ground and a heap of my mates are Cats’ members. Whenever they’ve built a new stand they’ve relocated supporter groups, usually to a better spot.

    We could be 4 points and more than 20% clear of the blues by the end of the round.

    That’s the thing. They kicked every goal going forward in that first quarter.

    I know it’s a constant source of frustration here, but on expected score we won that game by 20+ points.

    • 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?
