CASEY: Elimination Final vs Williamstown
If he can upload a TikTok and send out an EDM with no spelling mistakes, he's hired at this point.

Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver in 2026
God help us if one of our highest paid players needs to be coached by a childhood idol to get the best out of himself. If Trac, or anyone else for that matter, doesn't want to be at the club in 2026, they can leave. The last thing we need is for a new coach to waste their time and energy coddling and coercing players into wanting to play for the club.

In order of "I rather burn my eyes with acid than watch them win a flag" Collingwood Daylight x 10 Geelong Daylight x 5 Hawks Daylight Freo Brisbane Gold Coast GWS Adelaide Who do I think will win in order from most to least likely Geelong (kill me!) - they just love to win flags for fun Brisbane - a few key injuries Adelaide - suspect midfield and no finals experience Collingwood (kill me more) - umpires can win it for them Hawks - ordinary midfield GWS - mental midgets Freo - they are going to do a Freo Gold Coast - lol they'll be out while celebrating making finals after 15 years

I cannot empathize this enough. F@&k Hawthorn!

NON-MFC: Round 24
Normally yes, but this is just silly. They’re barely fielding a side and playing guys who can hardly walk. The AFL’s moronic round 0 has really come up roses

I would be so angry if I was made to watch us play football again this year. I feel for Essendon fans

2025 All Australian
Jackson is the third ruck on the list. Grundy and Gawn are pretty even in their stats for the year, except marks. Gawn absolutely dominates Grundy in marks. He averages 5.7 per game, 2.3 contested, whereas Grundy averages only 3.4 and less than 1 contested per game. Max is also third in the competition for contested possessions in general. Jackson is behind both in all stats except goals, averaging 1 per game which is elite for a ruckman. If you are picking a real team, you pick a combination of Gawn and Jackson every day of the week over Grundy.

2025 All Australian
He deserves to make the final team. Averaging just shy of 20 touches, 3.3 clearances and 2 goals per game. That is elite stuff. When you look at the other small forwards in the squad, it's hard to argue that he isn't the best of the lot. Elliot and Pickett should be the two small forwards in the final team. Gawn ruck and Jackson on the bench.

The club offered Max an extension. He did not ask for one.

The Steven May Thread
I reckon contracted players will have to wait until there is a new coach. Some may want out and be told no by the new coach, and some might want to stay and be given their marching orders anyway. And I don't think we will delist anyone officially until Casey's campaign is done. No doubt there will be lots of noise coming out of the meetings tho. There always is.

His manager is giving me bad vibes

Who’s Playing Their Last Game In The Red & Blue tonight?
Are you suggesting Max captains for the camera? Heaven forbid a club captain has a few words for his team at the conclusion of a very difficult and disappointing season. If only we had other leaders in the room who felt the need to speak up and say something. Instead it all falls back on Max, who is then copping it from fans like you for being performative and fake. If Max says nothing he's a bad captain and leader, if Max says something he's putting it on. Nobody is perfect, including Max, but I find some of the insinuations on this site in recent weeks about him absolutely categorically offensive and disrespectful. Of all the players who have let us down in recent years, Max is last on the list.

Have you told him that I am inching closer and closer to death?

Our captain speaking at the end of the season is unnecessary? He spoke well, he set the tone for what we expect heading into 2026. I don't really care what May was doing, I think it's being blown out of proportion, but to say Gawn didn't need to speak is just ridiculous. If anyone should have the right to speak, it's the only senior player who actually delivered on the field week in week out.

The Steven May Thread
May is 33, almost 34. I am not sure how long people expected him to keep his pace and agility? Melksham and Tmac are significantly slower now, and Tmac is doing well because he's playing on big bodied slower forwards, whereas we are still expecting May to play on Elliot and Gunston. Time to board the reality bus and understand that Gawn is a rare freak, but that most players as they age lose pace and reaction time. It's a bit harsh to hang him for it. Now if culturally he is a problem, then that's a different story, but he's still a very solid one on one defender, and if he goes into next season playing on big bodied gorillas, rather than being asked to play on speedy medium forwards, then he will still provide a solid contribution.

Demons Ponder New Strategy Boss
Guerra might also be aware that he doesn’t have a whole lot of footy experience so wants someone to help with that side of things and oversee the FD, while reporting directly to him I think it’s a good idea and could resolve a number of issues around Richo, and eliminate some of the concerns around Guerra’s lack of footy experience

Heartbreaking to hear what Gus is suffering post concussion. To think he’s now having to battle this insurance scam makes me so angry.

Jake Melksham & Tom McDonald Sign On For 2026
Hore retired and he was a rookie and I suspect Henderson won’t get another year. Brown also a rookie who I don’t think gets another year. Verrell Sestan Woewodin Billings and Spargo OOC and doubt they get another contract. I really wouldn’t worry about list spaces
