    I know they would have got a lot more money playing at optus, but they could have played under the roof at marvel & would have probably won

    Will Schofield asked Luke Jackson about him and Darcy going up against the premier ruckman in the competition in Tristan Xerri, and Jackson began his response with "Yeah, Xerri's probably a top two ruckman in the comp."

    Made me laugh because we know who Jackson thinks the premier ruckman in the competition is. His future teammate.

    We sold multiple home games to Brisbane and the rest of the comp complained.

    Seems that sales are the norm but it should only be for a "neutral" ground.

    The WA govt buying Freo a home game was not a great look.

    Then again the SA govt bought one for Adelaide and Port

    I hated selling Home Games to Brisbane, i don’t care what the Financial gains were.

    Find an alternative Income Stream

    Same with the NT, i have no problem spending time up there during preseason, but selling Home Games is just not right.

    We give ourselves a disadvantage every Season

    Xerri getting 0 disposals in the last qtr while the game was on the line and only 3 for the second half is why the AA selectors can't choose him. He just doesn't have that match winning capability like Gawn does. Once the ball leaves clearance, he basically has zero influence around the ground.

    Xerri was clearly injured. Watch him walking out of the 3/4 time huddle.

    Don't worry you're not alone as all the commentators missed it too.

    I’ve raised this before about North Melbourne but if we had their clinical accuracy we’d be $1.02 favourites to win the flag.

    Out of 14 games they’ve had one occasion whether they’ve kicked more behinds than goals and they still managed 10.11.

    That's interesting, he didn't look too bad with his tap work in the last qtr and I haven't seen any reports in the post match about him being injured.

    Right. Time to let a bee out of my bonnet.

    Tom McCarthy.

    Just shy of his 25th birthday, taken in the mid-season draft.

    Close to nil salary and almost as little 'investment' in his development by the AFL system over the years.

    Had an actual real-person job until about four weeks ago.

    31 disposals, at 93% efficiency, NINE intercepts, just short of 600m gained.

    Clearly BoG for his side and possibly for the game.

    So my question, with additional reference to other second-tier upgrades as well as top-performing kids, is...

    What is the $20-30m a year, per club, of player salaries and football department budget actually getting?

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • 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.
