Ha ha not Caleb Daniel I thought we were talking about Fred Bassett. Lol

I thought Fred Basset was about the same height as Caleb Daniel (at the shoulder, to be fair).

    We tried to move the ball better inside 50 this year at times. Certainly some flatter kicks to leads especially early in the year.

    The big challenge will be sustaining the risk and run off half back and through the midfield. Which we did improve on whilst it was tenable this year, before dropping back to long down the line footy once we had no midfield or flanker depth left to work with.

    Agree DS - in some of the early rounds the ball was delivered sharp and low forward on many occasions, so much so that I thought the days of bomb it long to the pocket heavy packs were possibly a thing of the past.  Sadly we reverted to type pretty soon.

    Agree monocular we looked pretty good early but we dropped off quite a bit as we lost key personnel and had torevert back to a more predictable defensive game plan to limit damage. We really do need Max, Tracc, Clayton and JV playing their best footy so that we can get the extra benefit out of Sparrow, Rivers, Langdon, McVee, Windsor, Kozzie, Chandler and Tholstrup through the middle.

    What about Ben Hart? Former team mate of Goody's, midfield coach at GWS...

    Chaplin back to forward coach.

    Hart to midfield coach.

    Bassett to defensive coach.

    Cameron Bruce to strategy and ball movement? Again, soft cap makes this unlikely.

    Soft cap will only be an issue if we remove someone from the FD who is contracted, aka Richardson.

    If we don't, then we shouldn't have issues with our soft cap. Goodwin is not exactly the highest paid coach around, and losing Stafford and McQualter has opened up cash to pay new assistants.

    It was interesting to see Dew at Brisbane and Leon Cameron at Sydney this year. I guess they didn’t need to move states.

    For anyone taking it serious this is a Broden joke by the way. 
     

    Hard to tell these days because footy reporters are accidentally funnier than comedians with footy podcasts.

    Melbourne fan and comedian known for Aunty Donna (sketch tv show that was downright awful IMO).

    Has a footy podcast that has gained a cult following. Not bad, certainly better than Gorringe Sportsbet lol lol lol, but not my cup of tea.

    Stewie Dew is cool (due to both his skills and heft) and Broden likes him because he’s cool and maybe a good coach so why not speak it in to existence?

    Something like that?

    The Footy Podcast (I listen through Spotify)

    One of the better podcasts out there in my opinion.Very light hearted and not for everyone but has certainly found a niche.

    The success he has with his podcast has got him a contract with channel 7 who identified the gap in media coverage. 

    If you love watching Footy Classified or the Sunday Footy Show then this won't be for you. 

    He was on Gus and Gawny in one of the last episodes.

    He did a 35 min podcast with Max Gawn before the grand final which is worth a listen even if you don't like his regular podcasts.

    Was he the one that did some podcast with Max on Saturday?

    I do agree with that though.

    With Stafford gone and Mini also it’s great that 2 new assistants are needed. Hope we get some be breed who are more adventitious and can take on Goody who isn’t as safe as he was with Kate as Pres.  

    Need aggression like Lions and players can play that way if given a licence viz 2018.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
