    Analysing 2025 AFL Coaches Votes

    Congratulations to Bailey Smith and Noah Anderson for sharing the award this year, but what I found most interesting is looking at data on the number of times a player polled. Throughout the year I've also been keeping track of who is polling in losses (only 17% of total votes were awarded to...

    Squeezing of General Admission at the MCG

    That's why it surprises me that there's no discussion or even outrage about a clear reduction of GA options. Say if they shifted the fences further around from the wings in '21, then took half of L1 Ponsford in '22, and so on bit by bit you can understand it would sneak under people's radars...

    Squeezing of General Admission at the MCG

    I've been to two Sunday afternoon MCG games in the last two weeks (Melb v Geelong on 11/4 and Melb v Hawthorn on 18/4) and have noticed a concerning trend. It seems as if the quantity of general admission seating has been greatly reduced, after having been established and stable ever since the...

    Toast Making Their Mark

    And maybe this is part of the problem in footy clubs. Tall poppy bullsh*t that attempts to bring anyone down a notch who doesn't "speak the language" Fine with me if you reject progressive thinking over out of touch boomer rants that just breed contempt.

    Toast Making Their Mark

    Leon Cameron's speech was pathetic. If I was a member (who had shelled out $681 for a 2021 membership) I would be asking for my money back. It reeked of a man who has no concept of neuroscience or motivational psychology, and one who lacks ability to build engagement and connection. You can't...

    Game Day GDT(Rnd 8): The Cursed? Season: House of the Rising Sunrise/set Vs Gold Coast: @ Metricon Stadium 16:35

    Hore can keep his head held high. Especially with Hibberd down he was critical. It almost seems as if we hit rock bottom and the win was the group realising they just stood up. A long way up from here but I'm glad the players were willing to get their hands dirty. But who comes in for Hibberd??

    Game Day GDT(Rnd 8): The Cursed? Season: House of the Rising Sunrise/set Vs Gold Coast: @ Metricon Stadium 16:35

    McDonald has been so bad the commentators are suggesting he run as a decoy. Any other "elite" forwards get reduced to that? And Keilty is less effective than Spencer.

    Adopt A Demon - Round 7 v Fremantle

    Does anyone remember Bate's first season where he played an absolute shocker in a pre-season game? He dropped about 5 simple marks in a half and everyone was groaning "who the f--- is this redhead?" and gave bronx cheers when he held on to one. Soon enough he came good. He seems to suffer...

    All of you, take a bow

    Well said. I feel so dirty for not showing up...the Carlton game scarred me.

    Just one question

    Olarenshaw briefly interviewed Bailey in the Melbourne rooms at half time... He said we need to kick it more when we have the opportunity as we were over-using handball. Think Bailey pulled a trick out of his arse!

    You little ripper

    Absolutely ecstatic!! That was the hard-running and attacking Demons of old! Brock really showed his class and composure in the last half Miller finally showed on-field leadership, skill and reliability Bate is a future champion - was rusty in the first half (as he was entitled to be first game...

    stung by stanton, goodes

    Chad, which sucks for me as I also have him in my team! But, in Round 8 last year Goodes turned around his early season form slump by tagging Cornes, hence the reason Roos wants to give it another go. He picked up a lot of the ball in the that game, and he's not exactly a defensive negating...

    stung by stanton, goodes

    I read in the Age today that Roos wasn't very happy with Goodes, and is planning to give him a tagging job on Cornes next week. "...it's very hard to win a game of footy if one of your best players is getting 7 (possessions). He just looked like he wasn't working very hard and that's something...
