This is pretty accurate I reckon.

But it's also funny how the narrative of close games are pushed, yet the rich get richer in the AFL's socialist system... 🤔

its been a long while since anyone mentioned "equalisation"

    I suppose we can take some consolation that we are still considered relevant enough to bag!

    As Oscar Wilde said, the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.

    Kinda MFC related, but kinda not, but the media once again looking to paint Stewart as mother Theresa trying to get him off (David King asides). That brain rot Dermott is the biggest advocate.

    2:44 mark…. Notice how Andy Brayshaw, instead of completely crashing into the opponent put out both hands towards the chest of the Carlton player to mitigate and prevent any damage. He was going to go airborne, knew there was no chance of a smother and held back.

    If it was that SOB Maynard or Stewart, you think they would pull out? Stewart and Maynard weren’t smothering. Throughout 150 years of Aussie Rules, I have never seen anyone attempting a smother by launching themselves like a human missile.

    If Stewart gets off, we’re cooked if we aren’t already..

    Totally agree...

    The rule is, once you choose to smother, then you are liable for what comes next."

    Is Tom Stewart in any MRO strife over this incident?

    Absolutely

    Haha the forgotten term? Or maybe just empty words?

    I thought the AFL was about fairness, not just about making money?

    Seems the players and administration are more interested in the latter.

    I look forward to new models of the game as it isn't exciting enough for us simpletons in the cheap seats.

    But maybe I'm just the simple one.

    Is this the thread where I launched my theory about AFL Media doing Demon trade rumours in alphabetical order of club of origin? Because we're up to 'E' and it has been McVee and Petracca.

    Next ones must be McVee to Fremantle and Petracca to GWS then. Who's off to the Suns and Hawthorn?

    Now luke Hodge has said max might think about moving onto another club to win another premiership now Goodwin has gone.

    Seriously

    Max would never move to another club but if he gets an AA jacket this year, he may do a Joe Daniher and retire long before anyone thought he would. Those shoulders are tired.

    The future of the Melbourne Football Club remains unclear, after the club parted ways with premiership coach Simon Goodwin on Tuesday morning.

    Sam McClure joined 3AW Drive to have his say on the sacking of Goodwin and what’s next for the Demons.

    “I think Melbourne with their kids list wise can turn this around pretty quickly if they get the coach selection right.” McClure said on 3AW Drive

    Yes it’s Whateley the cats lover and Luke Hodge … suggesting Gawn should look to move to a club competing for a premiership in the next 2 years

    Where does that leave the skipper?"

    What does Goodwin's sacking mean for Max Gawn and the rest of the Melbourne leaders?

    “Believe there is a certain journo, his name begins with Jay (and yes ends as Clark) who is absolutely over the moon with Dees sacking Goody… and his mate Warner (or Mick as he might be called) are media gutter [censored] of the highest order.

    Jay C is the type of bloke to probably kiss the mirror good night before bed”.

    Love this post after the Goody dismissal

    Luke Hodge. Gerarrrd Whateley.

    Even the mad suggestion that the leaders are now disrupted and that Gawn should “consider his options, to chase premiership glory with another club in the window over the next two years” !!!

    What the ?

    In my mind, Tom Morris is about the only journo who can hold his head high this week. At least he's reporting facts (whether we like them or not) while the conjecturing and opinion-making of others is extraordinarily shallow and unimpressive.

    The articles on us atm are generally click bait garbage, where they contradict themselves paragraph after paragraph.

    Most are theories and opinions with no factual basis.

    In other words the usual standard of footy journalism.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • 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?
