Sometimes the wheels can completely fall off in the second last round for teams just outside or on the verge of finals. I hope we give a spirited effort today. I’m actually very keen to see how we go next week against another developing team in Hawthorn. So we need to play well for in these two...
I was hoping Jack would never retire. I can’t stand him on AFL 360 but now I suspect I’m going to be hearing a lot more of his blokey, Aussie larrikin anecdotes. 🤢
In some ways last nights win highlights some of the issues we’ve had this year. Whilst I enjoyed the victory I feel this season has been largely disappointing and some of the things we did well last night have been missing most of the season. One of the reasons we’re a bottom 4 side is that we...
Yep, when a club descends to the depths that the witches hats have, you don’t get time to practice “last 2 minute“ scenarios at training or to tell an asthmatic how many puffs he can have of his ventolin on game day.

Where has this been all season from Fremantle? Despite the daunting prospect of the AFL’s trickiest road trip, the out-of-form Dockers disarmed finals hopefuls Geelong at GMHBA Stadium then held on for their best win of the year. Geelong led by nine points early in the final...
Should we have won a premiership by now?
Obviously they’re not easy to win and we’re not all playing on an level playing field.
My heart tells me we should have had one by now but maybe the numbers say otherwise. Funding is an indicator of wealth/revenue and it is commonly accepted that the...
Benning would have to be one of the most anonymous players to ever grace our list. Others who never made it gained a certain amount of notoriety for being so bad but we never see or hear anything about Benning. What’s the knock on him?
I agree, and the reason we’re having this discussion is purely because he’s a top 10 pick. No one is writing him off yet, but with a top 10 pick you hope to see a trait that made him get picked 11 picks before Johnson for example. At this very early stage of his career I would put him on par...
Personally I think being in a game up until 3/4 time before trailing off in the last quarter is a behaviour often demonstrated by young inexperienced teams so I can kind of accept a performance like that or at least understand it. It’s the ones where they don’t show up at all which are...
Who do we blame for the team continually failing to show up to play?
This can’t be put down to the team’s average age or lack of experience because even young teams are capable of showing some spirit.
The coaches said they would fix it over the summer. The team have spent 3/4 of a season being...
We need to get the ball to McKay for a set shot in the forward pocket, 30m out, on a slight angle as often as possible. By the end of the first quarter the Carlton players will be displaying signs of insanity. If we can get him kicking around the corner, when he’s straight in front from the top...
Did JL try to create a “coming of age moment” by putting JT, Ras and MJ in the centre at a critical time in the game? If he did then I guess that’s commendable. It was probably a courageous move and not an oversight. Obviously it didn’t work. If you’re gonna throw Ras and MJ in there then at...
I haven’t noticed this so much in his previous seasons but I have seen it a lot this year, NOD spends all his petrol tickets running TOWARDS goal and then has absolutely nothing left should he need to run back the other way. I have often seen him standing with hands on hips in the F50 sucking in...
If I was a list manager and I was prepared to offer the likes of Draper and Worner extensions then I think I would definitely be giving Henry an extension too. So much talent and potential there, it’s up to the club to unlock it.
