Unlike us then eh??

I would say that the Dees and the Blues are in very similar situations with both clubs facing a fork in the road moment at the end of this season. If the right moves are made, being back in contention in a couple of seasons is certainly possible and achievable. Full blown rebuilds are not required. But some calls need to be made now.

    Don’t know if it’s been mentioned but this round sees the top eight play the bottom eight, hence the mauling of some sides already and likely more to follow. This Ess/GCS match is close-ish now but will probs end up with Essendon being mercilessly thrashed. Or at least I hope so!!!

    2 draft/trade periods, 2025 and 2026 for a reset under a new coaching team, head of football and CEO (CEO already onboard).

    Thats all well and good to do a reset in 25 and 26 but I doubt you will be challenging for a few years after that.

    We sure dodged a bullet overlooking Caddy.

    And credit to Essendon for being mentally switched on against Gold Coast in the first quarter despite coming off a break and being injury depleted.

    I'm not a fan of EFC but I think I'm less a fan of Hardwick.

    Whilst he's at GCS I hope they go nowhere fast...

    Given they would have had maximum input into their own fixture that would be no surprise.

    Yes and here we are handing out lessons to Windsor, JVR & Jeffo, in out in out….

    A lot of people think it’s a lock that Goody coaches next year purely because of his contract, the way he’s selecting the teams tells the opposite story.

    In 2019, I wrote a long dissertation that I posted here on the pros and cons of sacking a coach. It's merely a business case. If the cost of replacing him is less that the amount the club looses in membership revenue - then it becomes pretty compelling for coach and club to part ways. We are there now.

    Caddy will be a star. No doubt.

    Moyle would have to be a starting ruck in a lot of teams.

    Anderson, Rowell, Miller. That’s a gun midfield. Tough. Pace. Goalkickers.

    Wish we could get Moyle out of Goldcoast as Gawns apprentice

    He looks like a young version of the Chief from the movie One Flew over the Cookoo Nest

    Imagine we had a key fwd like Archer May, mid season pickup and better than any we have

    Archer May. Part of Sandy Dragons premiership team. Ignored in last years draft. Looks a definite player as a key forward.

    Archer is the son of Dermott Brereton’s partner which is why with every mark he takes and/or goal he kicks the cameras go straight to Brereton in the stands. This pisses me off royally, as does the number of times the cameras go to Peter Daicos in the stands whenever Nick does anything of note. Sure, show the parents of a debutante if you must but they’re still doing it now.

    The goal reviews always amuse me when they spend 2 minutes looking at video and finally announce 'looking at the snickometer (or whatever they call it) we can see it hit the post. Why on earth do they not look at that first instead of wasting time deciperhing poor quality video?

    Topped-off just then by the announcer saying "looking at the angles, we can see on the snickometer". What angles!?

    Nonsense. Windsor, Langford and Lindsay have all had very good first seasons.

    Oh ffs please give it a rest. We all know how our first quarter against GCS went, it’s been discussed at length in the relevant threads. But to disguise your dig at us by crediting Essendon? Are you giving them props for their following three quarters? Thought not 🙄

    Might tune in to the final few minutes to see the bummers lose.

    They're really not being spoken about anymore. For a big club they're just bubbling away.

    I know we aren't great but at least we've had some success. This club also has a fan base who aren't patient & want success

    Definitely recommend you do. It’s good for one’s mind, body and soul. It’s good for Australia. It’s good for everything.

    • 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?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
