    RDFNL 2026 Season discussion

    I don't buy into the size of the town argument. It's not like clubs pull players from just the local neighbourhood. How many teams in Country Vic have paid (male) players that drive up from Melbourne and other towns? EDIT: Benalla, similar population to Kyneton has two different football clubs...

    RDFNL 2026 Season discussion

    Without a horse in this race, and someone who had worked in Media/PR, I'll disagree and say it might look impressive on the surface, but is actually a very poor Press Release. If I was the local paper, I'd ask, if it was as something as 'simple' as, you can't use the Kyneton name, why not come...

    AFLW Round 4 - 2025 AFLW Season

    It is relevant, and unfortunately you are proving the point of a lot of people here. You bring many good stats and insights to this forum, but you also seem to have an inability self-reflect (in not a snarky way) of "maybe I got that wrong", or "maybe I could have said that better", or "yeah...

    And it's been confirmed she's done an ACL will be out for a year. A decent human being would reflect on the type of comments you made Teen Wolf and go with the old adage of "don't kick someone while they're down", and change their mind/comments. Unfortunately, I don't believe you are capable...

    AFLW Round 4 - 2025 AFLW Season

    As much as I think we should call out players who have a bad game, I do think it's a bit low to give a worst on ground vote to a player that left the ground injured (regardless of the stats to that point of injury). Worst on Ground votes are more a "hey, pull your finger out and do better next...

    There is precedent. The first AFLW game was meant to be a Collingwood home game, but was switched to Carlton.

    Then you still have the issue of the two games in October, plus the time cricket needs to prepare the pitch.

    A month to go until the start of cricket season, and still no resolution on the EFC v ECC dispute over Windy Hill. Wouldn't just affect the two games in October, but also the Friday Grand Final Eve game (as cricket would need time to prepare the pitch). If cricket win this argument, an...

    News Essendon Footy Club and Cricket Club at war over Windy Hill - fixture clashes in October

    One situation that could happen, and I don't like, is that for Grand Final Eve they flip our game against Norf to be held at Arden Street. Knowing AFL PR, they would then come out and blame EFC for the situation on why they would strip us of a home game.

    No. The asterisks is that if the 2018 Grand Final didn't have to compete for attention alongside the men's games, especially with one of the competing sides playing at another stadium only an hour later - where fans have probably purchased their tickets weeks out - it may have drawn an amount...

    AFLW Round 1 - 2025 AFLW Season

    There needs to be a big old asterisks with that comparison. Last year's GF was a standalone match in late November. The 2018 Grand Final in late March was during Rd 2(?) of the AFLM season and one of the competing teams' men's side was playing only an hour or so later at Marvel.

    AFLW 2025 Predictions & Passmarks

    Essendon not only hit with injuries - only 26 available players (after we also had injury replacement players), really 25 as the Rugby convert ain't much chop - but a tough back half of the draw. I don't rate GWS, but I think the Bombers are vunerable to GWS in Canberra this weekend.

    News Essendon Footy Club and Cricket Club at war over Windy Hill - fixture clashes in October

    I don't think the AFLW can win because EFC set a precedent when they paid ECC the last two years to move off the ground. A judge is probably going to look at that and ask "why did you make payment those years, but now" (seeing EFC as indirectly admitting fault)? Part of me wonders if this is a...

    News Essendon Footy Club and Cricket Club at war over Windy Hill - fixture clashes in October

    TL;DR - EFC (through league) scheduled AFLW games in October at Windy Hill, without agreement (like the past 2 years) from ECC. ECC went screw you and have just (through Premier Cricket) scheduled matches at Windy Hill in October...

    AFLW 2025 Fixture

    Can't see behind the Newscorp paywall, but apparently Cricket Victoria pushing back against the Essendon AFLW games being played at Windy Hill in October. Premier Cricket have gone ahead and scheduled Essendon Cricket Club to play at Windy Hill in Ocfober.

    Should Erin Phillips be inducted into the AFL Hall of Fame as soon as she's eligible.

    It's a mute point now since Pearce and Phillips are inducted, but personal preference would have been for them to wait the standard five years, and use that time before then to induct players, coaches and administrators of women's footy that were around pre-AFLW (to join Debbie Lee in there)...

    Talking in Victorian terms for a minute, he has also left a major headache for future crowd growth, if the AFL doesn't (but may want to) go the double-headers with the AFL(M) path. Let's say crowds in Victoria get bigger and bigger, where say the likes of Essendon and (after redevelopment)...
