    2 average teams. Cats with only 1 injury concern

    Surely the Cats disappear forever now (have predicted this since 2017)

    Apart from them and Langford, can’t see too many more kicking their goals.

    Dodo did a magnificent job of getting that list together. Incompetence for over 20 years. Took them long enough to get rid of him.

    Of course the only time they send these guys down to that $hithole is during a worthless practice match. Now that Hawthorn are temporarily good again after 1 season, they’ll never be sent there again for another 10 years. 🤡🤦‍♂️

    Listening to the commentators you would think they are all paid up Cats members the way they talk about them… sickening

    Geez Nate Caddy is a solid forward. He would have worked so well with JVR.

    he wasn't in the draft tho, not really - he was in the peptides' academy 

    you can see why they were prepared to trade us their pick so we couldn't nominate him

    hopefully marcus prassad is as promising for us as he is for them

    It's so hard to know what to take out of these games. A lot of times in the TAB* when an unexpected horse won a race the punters would rush back to the form guides on the wall to check whether there was a factor they had missed. Usually this wouldn't improve one's punting; but the same during the year if, say, Kako kicks 40 goals or Geelong drops down to 12th we'll then overrate hindsight.

    As for watching these games I'm sure I'm not the only one who likes to have these kind of things, plus other sports, on in the background. I suspect if I was born in America I'd be spoiled for choice for nightly sports viewing (assuming I liked their biggest sports in this parallel universe.)

     

    * This is ancient history. I'd guess the only people still in TABs are tragics who either can't afford pay TV or are Luddites who even resisted using email for years.

    Teams don't defend much in practice matches and sometimes just fully experiment so the results are totally meaningless.

    Positional changes, player roles and performances of new recruits is the reason to watch them.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
