So much talk about club culture ...

Well, here's Culture Club!

Culture Club Were So Wimpy ...Where to buy Culture Club tickets this ...

Isn't it odd that no one talks about Hawthorn's club culture anymore... even though that nasty issue beginning with R hasn't been resolved fully. Oh yeah, that's right, they're in the finals and are currently everyone's (read AFL & Media) darling!

    Honestly,with this latest article and the Pickett story, Pert needs to a call an all of club meeting and tell everyone to stop talking to the press. This leaking of information is just ridiculous. 

    Agreed. But how will we know it's occurred if the leaking stops?

    Since the smut and innuendo has been removed from Demonland Brand Biffen has taken a serious hit but I never complained about it. Ijust got on with the job of being my usual obnoxious self and found different way to insult and demean inferior opinions for the good of the site. I hope you all appreciate my sacrifice.

    Moved into the ‘Full ( and immediate) Review’ camp.

    The board has overseen all of this without significant response.

    Let’s act like adults and get ahead of the situation and address it.

    Christian has brought it to a head for sure but an independent review can give us the real picture maybe.

    I don't think anything new is being said, just some food for thought from a very good afl writer in Jonathan Horn that probably has no vested interest.

    I agree with everything in that article.

    I don't think much of Petracca in all this, but the players who blabbed to a journalist about the private meeting are absolute clowns. The place is burning down and three of them are happy stoking the fire by giving tips to the media. Everyone seems to be in this for themselves, which explains a bit...

    FWIW, Petracca apparently made an appearance at Cody Weightman's art gallery opening in Fitzroy tonight doing some cooking demonstrations.

    Hope he was making humble pie. But I doubt it

    It’s like someone or a group of someone’s want this club to go down.

    Why?

    So they can get out , or they want someone out.

    Why does our playing group leak like a sieve? It's a very poor look for all concerned that details of private meetings make there way into the press like this. 

    While I agree, I also imagine that like all of us they are hurting with what is playing out in the media.  They probably feel like what is reported is not accurate and so it's their way of flying the flag... which actually just adds to the noise and probably does the opposite of what they intended.  They are human too.

    Never let the facts get in the way of a good story 

    Mitch Cleary did not report that Kossie has asked for a trade to SA. He reported that there is homesickness and both the club and his management are confident it can be resolved. 
    Like seriously!

    The most shocking thing about this is that Sparrow gets included in these meetings!

    That's a bit harsh.  We haven't seen the best of Sparrow this year.  But when he speaks he sounds like he's more switched on than most players.  He's also one of the few that apparently can go with / tackle petracca at training.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • 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?
