    Voss On Vlastuin

    Hawks 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s... 20s?

    A year ago this was a thread not even worth writing. The Hawks started 2024 with five straight losses and had finished between 13th and 16th in preceding four seasons. Since those five straight losses the Hawthorn Football Club have won 19 games (including a final) and lost five, with three of...

    Cyclone Watch: How late is too late...

    ...for the AFL to make a decision on whether the Brisbane v Geelong game goes ahead as planned on Thursday night? For those who don't know there is a good possibility that Brisbane will be hit by a cyclone on Thursday. The AFL is deferring making a decision on the game going ahead or not, with...

    Troy Selwood RIP

    Just breaking... has died aged 40. Not a superstar but certainly a player that most of us would remember playing makes this hit a bit harder. RIP.

    Consecutive Grand Final Losses - OUCH!

    Sydney have now lost their last four Grand Finals, in 2014, 2016, 2022 and 2024. This is not their worst effort though, losing five consecutive playoffs in 1934, 1935, 1936, 1945 and 1996. They are 2-10 in Grand Finals since 1934 (they did win in 1933 though). Collingwood famously lost eight...

    Why is there no www.aflw.com.au (or equivalent)?

    I'd like a dedicated site for the AFLW. Same as the AFL. Is there a reason why it's umbrella-ed under the AFL site?

    Damian Barrett's Sliding Draws

    I hope I've got this right. Three games this season have ended with nothing separating the two sides. Sometimes a draw is as good as a win, and sometimes it as bad as a loss. They were: Round 7 Essendon v Collingwood Round 9 Adelaide v Brisbane Round 11 Fremantle v Collingwood So who won and...

    AFL’s big F-U to travelling fans.

    Is this the AFL’s biggest F-U to fans, particularly those travelling interstate? https://www.afl.com.au/news/1202661/start-time-shuffle-for-saturdays-hawthorn-hawks-north-melbourne-kangaroos-richmond-tigers-gold-coast-suns-clashes Bush league stuff.

    Zak Butters deserves his own MRP thread

    It's been well reported that Butters has just this week become the most fined player in AFL history, defined by dollar amount. He has managed to do this across just 111 games of football, with his first incident occurring in just his third game in the AFL. What is apparent is that Butters is a...

    Swans to snatch Brownlow defeat from the jaws of victory?

    The Swans keep winning and they keep winning well. While i don't doubt the entire team is contributing every time I read a match report and look at the best players I seem to be reading the same names. In particular Heeney, Gulden and Warner with a good helping from the likes of Grundy, Papley...

    Carlton or GWS in 2024?

    Who finishes higher in 2024? I’m not entirely convinced by Carlton this year. They were a team that caught fire and rode that through to the finals. 13-1-9 in H&A is a good season, and two wins in September is great experience. However their notable H&A victories this year were either come from...

    The Live Ladder

    Channel 7 do a lot of pointless things. Roaming Brian. BT and James Brayshaw generally. Jobeisms. Still though I don’t think they could do anything more pointless than a live ladder seven rounds before the end of the season, more so when it’s a live ladder for the first game of the round...

    Players Swapping Jumpers

    Two greats with parallel careers doing so post-game tonight. I can see Hawkins kicking on in 2024 but I think it really signals that this is the last season for Riewoldt, and I think this is a nice touch. In a year or two I’d like to see Dusty and Dangerfield do the same. Who else should do...

    Kane Cornes doesnt think Trent Cotchin can kick 25 goals in 2023.

    Inspired by this tweet... Given that most see Kane Cornes as a click-bait flog these days (as opposed to a 300 game premiership player) and a lot claim Trent Cotchin is a sniper dog who can't kick over a jam tin (when he really is a Brownlow medallist, state captain and three-time premiership...

    Four or more premierships as a player.

    Joel Selwood and Isaac Smith, now with four premierships each, and I think a good chance (if they play on) to join 21 other players with five flags to their names. If Geelong do win it in 2023 then Hawkins likely moves on to the slightly longer list of players (67) with 4+ flags. There are also...

    500 games played and coached

    I think this has been missed and I'm only aware of it because of RFC social media. Damien Hardwick becomes the 21st person to play and coach in 500 V/AFL games this weekend. Just searched for the records and discovered that Adam Simpson became the 20th person to do a few weeks back (currently...

    2022 - the season that could have been...

    Seven losses this year. Seven games where we have died in the second half. Round 1 - Carlton, up by 15 points at 3/4 time, kick the first goal in Q4... lose by 25 points Round 3 - St Kilda, lead by 25 points half way through Q3, kick one goal after that... lose by 33 points Round 5 - Adelaide...

    Who at your club is an Immortal?

    After Kevin Sheedy's naming as an "Immortal of the Essendon Football Club" who at your club gets elevated to Immortal status? This is obviously the best of the best, sitting even above Legend status, which was Sheedy granted at Essendon in 2008. I'm happy for you to make your own criteria, but...

    MRP / Trib. Mitch Robinson on Duursma

    The Drought-Breaking and Drought-Extending Century

    Starting with Sydney breaking a 72 year drought in 2005 we’ve then seen Geelong (2007, 44 years), the Bulldogs (2016, 62 years) and Richmond (2017, 37 years) break notable premiership drought. It’s also worth noting that a merged Brisbane-Fitzroy broke a 57 year Lions drought in 2001. That’s...

    Toby Greene… again.

    Not much in it, but just Toby being dirty again. Fines don’t work with this guy, and why would they when he’s out of pocket <1% of his earnings across his career. https://www.afl.com.au/video/633891/greene-on-report-for-striking?videoId=633891&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1624101309001

    Double-up Games

    When do the first double-up games start to be played? How late in the season do two teams meet for the first time in 2021? Is the AFL risking two teams not playing each other this year? Given the covid uncertainty, possible lockdowns and border restrictions and moves by the AFL and AFLPA to not...

    Hayden Kennedy quits.

    Highly experienced former umpire and now umpires coach Hayden Kennedy has quit, effective immediately, after being in the role since 2013. Possible friction from Kennedy and senior umpires with Steve Hocking may have contributed to his resignation, with the umpires unhappy with how difficult...

    Is that the final 8 set?

    For me, with the Eagles winning and displacing Fremantle in the 8, I think it is. I expect to see each of the Demons, Bulldogs, Power, Swans, Cats, Tigers, Lions and Eagles playing in September. Final positions still to be determined. All eight have positive W-L records and % over 100. Freo...

    It’s time to re-define OOB.

    Change it so that it is closer to basketball, where the ball is not OOB until it or player touching it is OOB. This far simpler and less open to interpretation/error. In the photos above OOB is called on Robbie Gray as he has possession of the ball and is over the boundary, even if the ball...
