Amazing what an academy and father son picks get you !!! 


Still smart recruiting. No second rate scrubbers.  Neale. Cameron. Daniher. Dunkley.  Take note !!!

    Absolutely Oscar McInErnery's energy in the medal presentation.

    Pure goofy, loving joy.

    Suspect that has been a big part of keeping the team upbeat during some rough early times.

    Apparently he was very upbeat all week & didn't moan about his injury or missing out

    Absolutely putrid grand final. Game was worse than the pre-game.

    That was my second life lesson, don’t whine, feel sorry for yourself or give time being negative about something that you can’t change. The Big O’s excitement during and after the game (especially for his replacement) was beautiful.

    11 players played every game. Consistency helps. 

    But they also had the depth to cover for McInerney, Coleman and McCarthy (plus Gardiner and Doedee).

    Fantastic list management and fitness. Not a coincidence.

    For Sydney, when the going got tough they fell apart and you’d think the scars of 2022 has something to do with that. Their tall forwards are barely better than ours and they couldn’t compete aerially against Brisbane’s defence.

    All the more reason to believe that if we get some of sh*t together in terms of game plan (Bassett) is a nice inclusion, then we are right in the thick of it.

    Last 2 premiers aren’t absolutely dominant like we were and other great teams before us. Brisbane are still far from invincible in spite of a flag.

    It's a bad movie on repeat for Sydney.

    The Buffalo Bills lost 4 straight superbowls in the 90s, by the time the last one came along the loss seemed a forgone conclusion. Are Sydney too traumatised with this group?

    Well the only logical conclusion from this is that our boys need to have a wild footy trip, and a poorly managed WhatsApp group.

    I thought we had enough of the media bashing us up.

    If ever there was a year to do it, this was it. Such an even season. Top 4 made up of seriously flawed teams.

    You could argue it was the worst top 4 in years

    Watching Brisbane today made me realise how bad our skills are at times.

    Brisbane just run hard for each other and create space, they don't fumble and there forward line is open & they don't get in each other's way.

    Happy the Lions and Fagan but worried about them when they add Ashcroft next year

    They bat so deep. Blokes like Ah Chee are their 10-15th best player and is so skilled

    Could be the case if they lose another one within the next few seasons. But at the moment, I put it down to a lack of experience on the MCG and larger grounds in general. They also have a heap of flashy type players that play for themselves.

    Four lost GFs in a row

    How do you even rock up to preseason?

    Fans must be in pieces. But they only have themselves to blame

    Blokes like Heeney Warner Gulden completely choked on the big stage

    Going out in straight sets for us two years in a row.

    Yep.

    At least we made a fist of it.

    And came very close despite injuries at umps.

    Swans have no excuse.

    The most lackluster effort in a granny by any club for eons.

    In it for twenty minutes then went to sleep.

    Going to haunt them until they lose another.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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?
