    Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2026

    Notes from watching the Brisbane vs Geelong match at the ground last night. Conditions calm, drizzle, slippery surface. Ball like a cake of soap. Geelong adapted to the conditions far better than the Lions - Brisbane's marking style was ill-suited and it never really felt like they got going...

    Game Day Round 9, 2026: Melbourne vs. West Coast

    Just more ho-hum really... A glimmer from those two late goals, but mostly dour and very ugly. It seems the club is all out to prevent another 100 point margin and playing football is coming second. Just pile numbers behind the ball and have nobody to kick to in attack. No surprises again...

    Game Day Round 9, 2026: Melbourne vs. West Coast

    A lot of bad signs again. -17 marks -14 contested possessions No method going forward other than dump it for a shallow entry that rebounds out as the forwards keep playing behind... Far too many loose Melbourne players everywhere considering only one quarter has been played. Fatigue should...

    Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2026

    It's been 9 weeks since Hawthorn last played away against non-Victorian opposition. They lost then also, against GWS in Opening Round. Just as well for them that 11 of their remaining 14 regular season matches are in Melbourne or Launceston then. :think:

    It would be more surprising if he didn't. They were at Richmond together for 9 years and won 3 premierships. Of course he is going to back his protégé.

    Coach Welcome to West Coast: Andrew McQualter

    To be honest, there isn't much to it. Occupy the corridor, generate run from behind when in possession and get the half forwards high up the ground to open up space in the attacking 50.

    Autopsy Round 8, 2026: Positives and Negatives vs Richmond

    Sigh. Somehow the club managed to lose a match when it was harder to come away without a win. Inside 50s 21-12 in West Coast's favour in the last quarter - yet scores were 4.1 to 5.2 Richmond's way. That last quarter would have to be one of the most frustrating quarters of football I have...

    Game Day Round 8, 2026: West Coast vs Richmond

    Tigers appeared to be tiring a bit near the end of that 3rd quarter. Get some momentum, the crowd up and about and there is a good chance to finish running over the top of them. Which will paper over the cracks of a rather abject performance.

    Game Day Round 8, 2026: West Coast vs Richmond

    Kelly and Ginbey both huge in that quarter. The two of them carrying the team at the moment.

    Game Day Round 8, 2026: West Coast vs Richmond

    I can't even with that last five minutes... So many poor decisions, backline is barely WAFL quality besides R.Ginbey. Seems to be a lot of players picking and choosing when to commit again which is concerning.

    Game Day Round 8, 2026: West Coast vs Richmond

    Forward coach should be sacked on what has been on display the last number of weeks. No method other than dump it forward to static targets. No connection at all between the forwards and the rest of the team at the moment. Horrendous stuff. B.Williams continues to put on a clinic of being...

    Game Day Round 8, 2026: West Coast vs Richmond

    Win or the club gets burnt to the ground. Either way someone will be having fun.

    Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2026

    It's a positive step in the acknowledgement that more needs to be done. It also sidesteps the obvious elephant in the room - which is the proportional level of grassroots funding in traditional Australian Rules states outside of Victoria has been allowed to wither. No doubt they'll come back...

    Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2026

    I have a respect for S.Pendlebury as a player, but this whole over-the-top reaction about him breaking the games record is giving me the shits. Certainly wasn't anything like this going on when B.Harvey overtook M.Tuck. It's terrible to say, but with all of this AFL sanctioned one-eyed...
