Just read dimmas comments, gee he didn't hold back. I think he was a little frustrated & rightly so 

Mark Neeld vibes... where is veneer of mindfull/compassionate/empathic coach at Tigerland now?

    How GWS have fallen.

    Early season GF contenders

    Reminds me of a few other teams

    Each year just before round 1 I choose my Grand Finalists, Brownlow medalist and Coleman medalist. This year I chose a GWS v Blues GF. I felt smug after 7 rounds, but not now. GWS are a mile away from premiership contention. Swans v Blues looks the most likely now, although I reckon it might a year for a GF bolter like Dogs 2016, or Dees in 2021.

    Momentum shifts in modern football can be unbelievable, hope the Giants can keep it up.

    Gee wouldn’t mind Bedford’s smarts, tagging capabilities and leg speed on our list. Where did the Giants find him 😉?

    We wanted him to stay but he didn't.

    Gee that Hogan bloke, a tall forward who can take a mark, would be handy in our forward line too!

    I seriously miss Hogan.

    You can't teach his contested marking craft and body work.

    Most forwards just don't have it in their kit bag and rely mostly on burst speed, leading patterns, some agility, timing and blocks from others.

    The stand and deliver that he brings is invaluable.

    Tex & Hawkins the other two stand outs in this aspect atm when fit and on the park.

    Yes true and maybe he left because we preferenced a couple of other small forwards ahead of him.

    Really need Carlton to win this to help our finals chances. GWS don’t have an overly difficult run home.

    Yeah well I prefer the Steven May and Premiership that we turned him into.

    Briggs is giving TDK a bath. TDK looks so average right now.

    But the commentators said TDK was soooo good

    I could see the rivalry alive between Clarko and Dimma. I didnt mind Harwick saying what he did. Better than getting learning in my view.

    They are actually very close mates.

    Went into this round thinking Essendon, Port and GWS were the sides above us we wanted to aim to catch. 

    Now it feels like it’s Collingwood, the Bulldogs and Gold Coast. 

    Such is the evenness of this season. 

    Which should be a reminder to all of us - don’t write us off. There’s still something to make of 2024 for us yet.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
