Can gorgeous Dolly be included somewhere? Her facial expression was priceless last year when Angus came over to greet and sign things after a game. I imagine she is devastated by Gus's forced retirement :-(

My toilet bowl has a stronger moral compass than the filth. Perhaps I watch KB seated there than at the G?

Agree. Please let it be the making, not the breaking. Us supporters have a role here. We can sign up & go along & support the team, or we can walk away and be part of the breaking.

The young demons in my household fully understand this. The sight/mention/hint of collingpooh leads them to make severe vomit sounds. Their hearts beat true.

Gee whiz, dees supporters are resilient, but seriously, enough is enough. The last 5 months have been a never ending nightmare. Get some sort of energy worker to the club immediately. I can’t take any more of this. Thanks Gus. All the best for the future.

One irritation, Russell Robertson repeatedly kept saying over the mic how state of the art the facilities are at Casey. Are they really that high class? Genuine question. It seemed to be an attempt to appease supporters to me.

I cannot comment at all on the footy (too busy basking in the sun & freebies!), but I can comment on the event itself. My girls and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at Casey. The weather was superb, the crowd seemed in really good spirits and the freebies (coffee, donuts, lip balm, show bags etc.) were a real hit. We left prior to the match ending but were still able to get a few autographs from very obliging players. I am pleasantly surprised. I wasn’t a fan of combining a practice match with a family day, but it was a win for me today.

The utter disbelief on the bulldog players faces at the end of that 10 minute annihilation. It gets me every time.

I just had channel 7 news on for the first time in a decade. What do I see? The thug coming on to talk about his mysterious illness. I keep the channel on 7 despite my revulsion. The mystery illness he lives with is OCD. He explained his distress at overthinking and needing to repeatedly check he has locked his door. Ok mate, but lets put Angus on and let him explain the ins and outs of his concussion experiences and what he experienced in September because of said thug.

The AFL will only take meaningful action and accept responsibility when it is in their own interest to do so. Money seems to be the only language the AFL understands. I hope all the current and future legal action against the AFL forces their hand to make change.

I don't know about recruiting Darling, but his return of 26.19 really needs to be put into context. West Coast were utterly terrible in 2023. They had very few winners in any part of the ground.

Any chance the Auskick kid can trip and headbutt Maynard when giving him the medal? Howe too?

Did I just hear that [censored] Hamish McLachlan say about KISS "world class act for the world's biggest sport?" Pffffff. What planet is he on? Soccer, basketball, tennis and cricket say hi.

McVee!!!! He seems to just float over the field. Such composure and natural talent. Love him. The joy on the face of Woewodin and his family when he kicked his first goal. Joel Smith's performance in Friday nights game and Shaun in the stands loving it. Our women's team have come out firing in their first 3 games. Get behind them!

Daniel sorry for everything you have experienced. I really hope you get what you need to help you heal and move forward. You have certainly put perspective to my emotions following our team’s final’s exit. Life is the biggest and most important game. Best wishes to you and all connected to you.

BoBo, you are making boo-boos with your comments

Dig the boot in a little deeper why don't you? Jeepers!

Agree, if it can't be us, it sure in buggery can't be Collingwood. Never could be, but even more so now. Filthy, putrid, arrogant pies. Loose by an incorrect score review, a player injuring themselves in the dying seconds, an earthquake swallowing up the turf. I don't care. Just make it as painful as all hell for that club and their disgusting disciples.

Done. YOU AFL are a bunch of power hungry, self entitled crooks. I will make it my life mission to ensure you get as little of my money as possible from now on. I will continue to buy my demons membership, you have my money for Friday nights ticket, but that is it. I will BYO everything to every game. I will no longer buy a cent of AFL branded merchandise. I will make my own demons gear (my kids will freakin hate me more than they already do!). I will make a cash donation to my club instead. FAFF OFF!

I should mention I am not paid to promote that website! I am a nurse, parent of kids who play sport & volunteer in various organisations. Really happy to spread the word about anything that will help our community.

I encourage anyone interested in learning more about traumatic brain injury and concussion to check out the below website. Lots of brilliant free resources in the way of fact sheets, 15 minute online training and more comprehensive online training for those wanting to learn more. Great resources. Get informed. You never know when the information may be of benefit. https://www.connectivity.org.au/

I said nothing about violence, just wishing them a pleasant meal in the same restaurant! You want an answer to concussion in contact sport? Start by getting the AFL to acknowledge all of the research that is out there and implement real change rather than tokenistic half baked attempts to make them look like they give a stuff.

I sincerely hope Maynard finds himself dining at the same restaurant as May in the off season

You make so much sense. I wish the same could be said for the AFL. Profit and brand protection ooze from every decision they make. The length of suspension and appeal outcome will come down to what best serves the profit and brand of the AFL. I love my mighty demons. I despise the AFL.
