? The fact that North trail considering Collingwood’s outs speaks volumes.

North are in real trouble.

I really don’t understand why the AFL bother playing these games in Ballarat considering half the stadium is closed and under construction.

Can’t see the point at all.

You didn’t watch a minute but if you had to choose a minute to watch it’d have to be the final minute. Super exciting.

Harry Sheezel says the scenario training is what did it (he left out the bit about losing both scenarios 😁). BTW, are we on top of the Scenarios ladder?

I don't know where we'll finish, but from what ive seen of the community series it will be above the Roos, Eagles, Tigers and bombers.

All look woeful, particularly the first three - which must be a big worry for the AFL as the Roos, Eagles and Tigers all should be on the climb at this stage of their respective rebuilds.

I mean, its a situation of the afls own making. Key players leaving bottom teams for top teams whilst top teams also get high draft picks at a discount for academies etc. Tigers did just win 3 flags though so meh. Eagles fans needed some humility and the roos will come good very soon.

Either the Pies have plenty of injuries or they rested 10 senior players

Bizarre to do that 7 days out from their first game. Perfect prep. But I guess most are over 30.

I reckon the Pies are in real trouble this year

PREVIEW: Essendon
PREVIEW: Essendon

Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

REPORT: Gold Coast
REPORT: Gold Coast

Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

PODCAST: Gold Coast

I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
