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: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
