Who is Swallow?

The one called Sparrow - who thinks he’s a Swallow because of Xerri: hope he gets 5 weeks too!

McVee - mismatch on Darling.

Your three word analysis looked like the game I was attending, not Joeboys game analysis who must have been attending another game

I thought he was alright although 2 shots, and I cant believe I am saying this, should have been around the corner.

100% agree again Joeboy!


I think Goodwin's main issue this year is getting his side mentally up for the games against the mediocre sides residing in that 11th - 15th range.

Every time we had a big win or a very meritorious loss to a good side, we've absolutely come out flat as a pancake and totally S T bed against mediocrity.

1) Excellent performance against GWS in round 1 - worst loss in years to North in round 2

2) Followed up our best 2 weeks in a very long time (Brisbane and Sydney wins) only to concede 6 quick first quarter goals to St Kilda and play catch up all day.

3) Put in our fourth best performance of the year on Kings Birthday to then lose a very winnable game to the mediocre Port Adelaide in round 14.

4) After beating North, the fixture provided us with a very kind 3 weeks of winning football, only to back it up with a pathetic 3 goal first half against a VFL team in Carlton.

We also got schooled by an extremely average Essendon football club in Gather Round after showing some positive signs against Geelong in round 4.

Goodwin hasn't arrested this trend and it's been mighty disappointing.

It sounds like he's safe for next year, but if the decision was hanging in the balance, the Carlton loss should've been one too many. How we lost to a team missing 10 players (and it showed in the VFL game as we thrashed Carlton's seconds who barely had a listed player) is completely unacceptable from the coach and the playing group.

Joeboy are you OK, if not hope you are right soon, otherwise we aren’t used to missing out on your 3 Word player analysis Vs Carlton.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
