Really hope that all the keyboard heroes on this site who enjoy calling Clarry fat, lazy, unmotivated and so forth when they know absolutely stuff all, sit the [censored] down and shut the [censored] up.

Jaded where have you been, missed your input!

    When does the team get announced, it seems to get later and later. I miss the old days of Thursday night team announcements

    Fair bit of chat on this thread that the Eagle's match is danger game. I reckon the only sense in which it's a danger game is the fallout of a loss.

    This is the first time all season I've been confident of win.

    They can have as many crisis meetings as they like but that won't change the fact they are clearly not fit enough and are coming off a six-day break (after having to fly from Melbourne, after a late Sunday arvo game, and arriving back in Perth midnight Sunday night

    I think we will:

    • look to attack and be aggressive with our ball movement from the get-go

    • really look to spread them and use the width of Optus oval

    • do so by using short kicks to switch and hit up players leading at the ball carrier

    • control the tempo with short kicks until we can 'press go' and then go forward quickly

    • use the corridor more than we have been

    • use lots of long forward handballs

    • kick our highest score thus far

    • win by 64 points

    If we don't win the fall out will be vicious.

    So many things in our favour and the fact we're playing on a Sat night is an added bonus.

    I think Oliver is replaceable but prefer him playing. I wonder if Culley is seen as a possible replacement?

    Like for like in my book, but I think Laurie probably has earned the call up.

    Goodwin said before round 1 he still has work to do to get back to his best, I think this is all part of that journey, good news is it sounds like him and the club are on the same page these days.

    I hope the media and the football world can just leave Oliver alone this week, and get on with the business of the games and players involved.

    I'm sure there'll be plenty to talk about. Hopefully one of those things is 3 in a row for the Dees.

    Assuming this is a joke? It is the same time/same day every week. Which is a Thursday. At 6.30pm

    I enjoyed watching prime Clarry. Chill out Jaded.

    Happy for people to discuss replacements for Clarry while he is out but please respect his privacy regarding the mental health stuff and leave it at that.

    I find the notion that we should be lying about a mental health issue puzzling. Not sure who that helps.

    If it was a joke then I would have made it funnier, and FYI I checked after I wrote (which I should have done before), and the AFL site tells me it's actually 6:20 (so there!)

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
