Researchers have tracked down the primary school reports of current GWS players. 

Some examples of their teachers' comments are listed below.

It's fortunate for these kids that they grew up to be good at football.

 

Toby Greene - "Toby has set himself an extremely low standard, which he has failed to maintain"

Sam Taylor - "The improvement in his handwriting has revealed his inability to spell"

Harry Himmelberg - "This child has been working with glue too often"

Lachie Whitfield - "Shows a unique ability to turn any maths problem into a story about dinosaurs"

Brent Daniels - "Expert at locating lost pencils, except when they're in his hand"

Jesse Hogan - "His spirited debates with the classroom clock about time are quite philosophical"

Tom Green  - "Since my last report, Tom has hit rock bottom and started to dig"

Connor Idun - "This student has delusions of adequacy"

Callan Ward - "Callan excels at turning oxygen into carbon dioxide"

Finn Callaghan - "He should go far and, the sooner he starts, the better"

Lachie Ash - "Lachie would be lazy but for continued absence from class"

Kieren Briggs - "He has given me a new definition of stoicism.  He grins and I bear it"

Aaron Cadman - "This student is depriving a village somewhere of an [censored]"

Jake Riccardi - "Uses a unique form of sign language, particularly when he thinks nobody is watching"

Darcy Jones - "Master of the impromptu show and tell, often featuring items from his pockets"

James Peatling - "Shows a deep commitment to ensuring every classroom plant is well conversed with"

Toby Bedford - "It would seem that Bedford thinks he is running the classroom and not me.  If this attitude persists, one of us will have to leave"

Your fertile brain, @Demonstone? Regardless, thank you for the multichuckle!

I'm curious as to why you chose to reveal this week's opponent's card. Do you feel we are in particular need of straws to clutch?

None of it is my work @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew except the "research" and compiling.

It was intended to be a light-hearted bit of fun.

Dunno about clutching at straws but, should we lose to GWS, I would anticipate much pearl-clutching.

In the general spirit of this thread...

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
