Was that the Chandler that most of you guys want to drop?

Incredible!

    Loved what I saw from the young kids. Kolt, Windsor and Roo fantastic. 

    Last quarter without Max was always going to be a battle. Anyone know what’s wrong with him? 

    He had a sneezing fit and so, deserved a rest. He dominated the ruck duels and the occasional follow-up, but when he drifted upfield or downfield, he frightened the Weagles into desperate patterns.

    Enjoyed that, future looks good with our youth, shame JVR missed a couple of easy set shots but all in all a very positive day. Can see the want to take the game on and better ball movement slowly coming together now

    Chandler was very serviceable. What great ground coverage to advantage.

    Reid is clearly going to be an amazing player, but his attitude and arrogance is pretty poor.

    We are starting to look good again and have our energy and pressure game back.

    Great bunch of talented kids and forward line is taking shape and looks better just with Melkys presence.

    JVR is the one.

    Anything can happen from here , but geez I’d love to have Trac back.

    Just to prove I don’t only whinge when we lose :  that insufficient intent given against the WCE player who belted the ball forward was absolutely stupid. He was clearly trying to get it to 2 teammates all on their own 30m away.   Came off his fist slightly off and went 20m and went out. Good grief

    Loved our defensive intent and much of our intent around the ball. I felt the eagles ran it through the middle too easily at times, and I noticed that some of the new younger boys like AMW, Kolt, and Turner were sometimes slow to respond from a turnover.

    Love these new younger players being given a run. Windsor and Kolt earning their place and repeatedly looking AFL ready.

    Kozzie finally holds a speccy, the Roo dominating the air, The Milkshake is back and his class immediately evident. 

    More than happy with that win.

    Would’ve been nice to claw back a bit more percentage but no complaints - we smashed them. It was a game dominated by youth - Rivers and van Rooyen in particular as best players. Despite the disappointing season this list has a lot of upside, and this season isn’t over yet.

    Just need a very smart and good recruiting in the offseason, couple of players for our midfield and draft some depth for our fwd line.

    Starting to look like he belongs with Stringer at Essendon or DeGoey at the Filth.

    What happened between him and Gawn?

    Forwards provided leads 😁😁

    Forwards sought out space and overlaps 😁😁

    Backs dispersed for clearances 😁😁

    Set shot shooters generally increased their run-up delivery distances 😁😁

    The wisdom of Demonland persistence to demand youth exposure to the team worked profitably 😁😁

    Great outcomes that stunned the Weagles.

    He was getting stuck into Kolt and Gawn wasn’t having it. 

    Needs to actually achieve something before he goes off half cocked at everyone. Very uncool behavior from a first year player.

    That’s the kind of act the AFL should be doing everything in its power to encourage. Creative and chaotic. An Eagles player could have run onto that and kicked goal of the year and everyone would be lauding Liam Ryan for his creativity.

    Umpires don’t need to be forcing players to be robotic. Nobody wins then.

    Koltyn has great energy and really needs to stay in the side, he was terrific today.

    Probably he can walk the talk  and don't argue with the critics.

    He may mature and get a lot better don't you think?

    Eagle chicks are ugly, scrawny, lice-ridden, snotty, greasey, windblown and smelly. Even they grow up to be very close to perfection. We still have a way to go; it just happens that we are closer to that eventual point than the WCE...

    Of course he may mature and get better, but he has coaches and teammates who should tell him to stay humble and focused. 
    If he was a Melbourne player our fans would be picking on his attitude, as would the media. 

    There’s no doubt he’s a very talented player, but football is a team game and when your team is getting pantsed, you need to put your head down and do the work. Not go around arguing with umpires and picking fights.

    • 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.

      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?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
