    Autopsy Round 5, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Geelong

    B.Williams had just one hitout to advantage from his 35 hitouts in total. His performance looked much better than it actually was due to how accustomed we have become to the complete ineptitude offered up by M.Flynn. It needs to be considered also that he was up against a 20 year-old 4th...

    Autopsy Round 5, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Geelong

    Fair points. Still believe a significant contributor to the clubs horrendous run over recent years has been a lack of quality in the midfield coaching ranks, particularly after the departures of N.van Berlo (in 2021 to Adelaide) and A.Hickmott (in 2022 to Hawthorn). N.Naitanui retired at the...

    Autopsy Round 5, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Geelong

    L.Shuey is the coach for stoppages. S.Radford is the coach for the midfield. Obviously, there is an assumed overlap that occurs between the two; to what extent is unknown. I've never been much enamoured with L.Shuey's coaching role - I prefer former players going elsewhere to diversify their...

    I detest the rule as well. I hate the punishment of a 50m penalty even more. If the whole intention of the rule is to allow the player in possession to move the ball forward quickly, then it makes no sense to me for a punishment to be applied (particularly a 50m penalty) if the defensive...

    Game Day Round 5, 2026: West Coast vs Geelong

    Agreed. It's no doubt been of benefit to Geelong's preparation coming into this game on a 6 day break from the Easter Monday match.

    Game Day Round 5, 2026: West Coast vs Geelong

    Young team that tires early against bigger, older bodies and red time goals end up being conceded. Not much you can do when players all across the ground are out of gas and their opponents start to find space. Playing much better than the scoreline suggests. The second half will probably...

    Respect to Sydney though - they are doing the same to the Suns as they did to West Coast last week. Winning the contested ball, J.Jordan is neutralising their best midfielder (N.Anderson) and their rebound through the middle is catching the defence out of position. Making last week look...

    Sydney and Gold Coast jumper clash that all saw coming is awful. Just having Suns guernseys with dark numbers rather than white would have made it much better. From a distance the red, white and pink just blur together. Makes no sense why Gold Coast aren't wearing their yellow or light blue...

    Sydney's chairman has used the opportunity to sink the boot in, whilst supporting the claim. https://www.sen.com.au/news/2026/04/09/afl-2026-andrew-pridham-western-sydney-growth-gerard-healy They also raised the elephant in the room of the spiralling costs required to setup the Devils...

    Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2026

    South-East Queensland is now a genuinely multi-code area. From my own anecdotal experience, it comes down to (mostly) these factors: The bandwagoners of the 2001-03 triple premiership Lions now have kids of their own and have passed their support onto them. The demographics of a huge influx...

    I've long been an advocate of such a play. Contract ends this year as well. As late as July last year he was being reported as wanting a move away due to non-selection, but that was silenced after he featured in every game in August and September to close the season. In 2024 before he signed...

    He didn't have A.Davies out there to protect him. M.Rowell averages more disposals, more contested possessions and half as many turnovers when he is alongside A.Davies. A.Davies has averaged 6.2 tackles per game since 2024. In matches during that period where he [A.Davies] has had 6+...

    Autopsy Round 4, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Sydney

    Did the entire playing group let two wins get to their heads and get on the piss all the week? First the Beagles and now this, so little intensity in both matches. Most of the team played like they were more occupied with fighting hangovers than chasing opponents. Across the first three...

    Richmond had 31 clearances against Port Adelaide. 21 of those 31 clearances were by players aged 28 and over. That should provide an idea of where their rebuild is currently at.
