Essendon and Carlton are the biggest wannabe clubs.

Carlton were only ever good because they had money.

Essendon benefited from awesome zoning and a once-in-a-generation coach. 

They haven't won a final without Sheedy since 1968. Just horrific. It's somehow better to be a Saints support in 2025 if you were born this century. 

True, it was the changing in that was designed to deliberately hamstring us post 65'.

meth coke all over the bears early days

Yeah but 31 points…….is there a wind at the Gabba?

 

impressive footy by West Coast. Brisbane feel a bit off, but they’re playing with serious speed!


There's going to be a few upsets early in the season. I reckon the ladder at Round 10 is going to look very different to the ladder at the end of the season.

West Coast's old guard a a few unknown kids really putting in a bold first half in what could have been a 186 contender.

Y'know what, good for them.

Now that Fagan's got a long-earned premiership I'm happy for Brisbane to wobble a little here and there.

Interesting that Reid just having an okayish game and West Coast doing well anyway. Could be an important moment for the club.

I agree.

And fortunately, we are blessed with level-headed media pundits and other experts who take a long, reasoned view, put results in perspective and certainly don't make outrageous statements about "season's done for..." after round two.

 

Brissy started very slow against Sydney and the same against the Weagles.

They'll probably fight back to close the gap but gee they look very vulnerable 

Eagles no longer easy beats by the looks of it. hopefully they don't improve too much this season because i thoroughly dislike their supporters and we play them twice.

And lucky we don't have a media, or tge majority of fans, who have collective amnesia and a relentless desire to ignore recent history.

So we won't have a scenario where they declare the hawks unbackable flag winners after they string a block of win together playing an exciting brand of transition footy that 'it's hard to see anyone beating'.

Just like last season when they didn't fall into the trap of banging on about the swans being unbackable flag winner after winning their first 10 games. 

This happens every year. 

Someone wins big Round 1, gets declared premiership material, almost immediately loses (Geelong).

Someone gets flogged Round 1, gets declared bottom 4 material, almost immediately wins (St Kilda/maybe West Coast).

Making sweeping judgment on any side after 1 game is stupid. Even after 4 games it’s still dangerous. Now more than ever, it’s about your form in July and August, not in March and April. 

Never rated Brisbane too highly. They may come out and win this match, but similarly to Dogs in 2016, they put together an unbelievable last month to win the flag. Daniher was the main cog in the GWS win and arguably without him, they get knocked.

No hindsight, I just don’t think they are a step above the rest.

Just heard that there’s a virus going around the Geelong Footy club 

thats the least of their worries atm

As I said before, Harley Reid does too many undisciplined things. Gives away dumb frees and now a 50 metre penalty and Brisbane goals.


That James Jordan guy goes alright - 17 possessions and 8 clearances at half time.

JJ and Bedford are players we should have kept. Instead we have Laurie, Billing’s, McAdam who for their own reasons struggle to get games at AGL level.  

Playing Bedders, Chin and Kozzy as High HFs is exactly what this team needs in the transition game and winning ground balls in defensive half.

Surely Lobb should have received a medal..

MBE, OBE AND VICTORIA CROSS !! Saw the big goose Cox at Apollo Bay a month or so walking around looking like Jar Jar Binks,lapping up the attention of the few nuffies that were clearly, struck. He looked over at me and saw my Dees hat and kept starring. So I gave him a gob full. Arrogant censored!

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
