TMac was very, very good this year.

Had some lesser games late, but was one of the best returns on expectations.

Tmac & Melk deserve one more. Hopefully just to top up Casey.

    Now that our 2024 season is officially over should we consider resting some of our star veterans who are or may be carrying some injuries like Max and Clarrie?

    Hi Boys thanks for the podcast.

    Is it really a simple game?

    No team has a team of elites. 

    Are versatility and pace where we should be heading in 2025?

    Multiskilled talls and faster running players

    What should be the game plan if contest and defence is too hard?

    I thought Kozzy bounced back really well this week after copping criticism from Kane Cornes during the week. I know Kane is a serial contrarian and a master click baiter but I reckon he is way off on his assessment of Kozzy particularly when you compare him to his contemporary small forwards. Granted he can be inconsistent but so too many small forwards in their formative years of their AFL careers.

    A poster on Twitter called Footy Degenerate posted some comparison goal stats of some of Kozzy's small forward competitors and their goal kicking stats in their first 5 years.

    Footy Degenerate writes "Kozzy PICKETT : 155 @ 1.50

    Tom PAPLEY : 146 @ 1.47

    Cyril RIOLI : 140 @ 1.32

    Eddie BETTS : 123 @ 1.26

    Izak RANKINE : 119 @ 1.47

    Charlie CAMERON : 104 @ 1.23"

    Footy Degenerate continues "I reckon he’s goin alright

    He’s just turned 23 and plays the hardest position on the ground.

    Could he move up the ground more like a Cyril Rioli and get more ball?

    Sure. He could comfortably do that.

    Unfortunately he doesn’t have a Buddy Franklin / Roughead / Bruest Fwd line to give him that luxury.

    He has one of the worst Forward Lines around him so they need to keep him i50 and can only be thrown into the middle momentarily.

    The tall blokes don’t halve a contest often enough i50 to bring it to ground for him and we have the 5th lowest i50 rate in the AFL.

    Opportunities are scarce.

    Could he do better? Of course he could.

    But Like all 23 yr olds, their best footy is ahead of them.

    Let the kids grow Kane."

    What do you guys reckon of the criticism of Kozzy by Kane and Footy Degenerate's assessment and Kozzy's response this week?

    I felt like I asked this in one of the non Q & A eps so I'd like to bump it again but apologies in advance if it's been covered already on an ep I missed, would be great to hear everyone's thoughts:

    Can we get some comment on the last two minutes of the game. Why are we incapable of pressing forward and manning up. Is this a coaching issue and if so did it ultimately cost us the game.

    Salo is a brilliant distributor. He has had an interrupted season. And Sparrow has had a down year, as many young players do. I expect him to bounce back in 2025.

    Sparrows never had an up year!

    It was a low scoring game on a perfect night for footy. Any concerns that our 3 key forwards, Rooey, Petts and Disco failed to hit the scoreboard? I was happy that Petty and Turner were able to clunk marks up the ground but I have grave concerns over both of them being able to take marks, providing a leading option and score goals regularly inside 50?

    Now that we have had almost a whole season of these guys playing out of their natural positions as defenders how have you rated their performances as forwards and are you hopeful that they can play and contribute as forwards in 2025 and beyond and help us reclaim a finals berth?

    We had two players, Woey and Bowey pull out of the game because of illness prior to the match. Do you think a few other players were under the weather, perhaps with COVID? Clarry, questions marks on fitness due to interrupted preseason aside, certainly seemed off the ball. A few others as well. Yes there are also questions marks on our general fitness and ability, or lack thereof, to run out games but do you think our lack of run in the last could be put down to illness in the squad?

    Tomo sometimes gets a bad rap from Demonland and obviously the match committee don't rate him as he only seems to get considered when we have an injury. Having said that I always things he is commendable whenever he plays in the ones only to get relegated back to Casey when the cavalry arrives back. What were your thoughts on Tomo's game and the backline in general this week?

    Spot on. We shut down a side that had just beaten top of the ladder by 100+

    Those critical of Goodwin, won’t give him any credit for this, it was a master stroke of coaching.

    Those wanting us to bite off more 45 angle kicks in, may I remind you of Tmac’s direct turnover off half back?

    Cmon @dazzledavey36 Since Petracca has gone down. Goodwin has polished the [censored] as well as he can!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
