    Meltdown Do the Cats have too big an advantage?

    We lived in Perth for a few years and Chris Judd was in every second TV commercial - must have been making a fortune. His wife was getting very good modeling contracts too. She got sick of living in Perth and drove the move back to Victoria and Carlton had the associated 'environmental...

    Player Watch #10 Aaron Francis

    Wikipedia says, "Francis was considered to be the best utility in his draft group, showing talent for South Australia, dominating games from both ends of the ground. He was named at centre half-forward in the All-Australian team during the 2015 AFL Under 18 Championships, often compared to AFL...

    Unofficial Preview Swans Vs Cats 2022 GRAND FINAL. MCG. Last Sat in September @14:30.

    They will need to replace Holmes. He's one of the reasons for the Cat's improvement this year. Not sure if he is as important to them as Reid is to us?

    AFL Grand Final Grand Final Ticket registration Thursday for Priority 1 members.

    If anyone has barcodes they are not using, I would appreciated two. I'm living in Hobart these days so no longer a member. I was able to give two barcodes in 2016 on this site. Note: one of those was a Red 3 game Membership and the person got two tickets. I went to that Grand Final and...

    Past Josh P. Kennedy - King Kennedy, the contested possession king

    I thought a few years ago JPK would end up going forward more but we've seen he doesn't play out of position well. I really like the team as it is at the moment (although I could see McDonald coming in for Amartey). It's hard to change a winning team and I don't see who goes out to make way...

    The Bulldogs and Umpires: Time for a Royal Commission?

    I feel a bit sorry for them. They support a team not the umpires but then I joked Matt Stevic for Norm Smith medal.

    AFL Grand Final AFL 2021 GRAND FINAL - Demons v Dogs Sat September 25th 7:15pm EST / 5:15pm WST (Optus) Congratulations Demons! 🍾🏆 Match Highlights in OP

    In 2016 they took out Keiran Jack, Tom Papley and Dan Hannebery below the knees. Hannebery tore his PCL and has not been the same since. No free kicks were given.

    You'll never guess what the 2021 free kick differential chart looks like

    In the 2016 Grand Final, in two and a half quarters the Bulldogs got 15 free kicks while the Swans got 1. Not random. Chair of the AFL Commission yelled at the Swans Chair, you won't win a flag while Buddy plays for you. Are you starting to get suspicious? Umpires rarely determine outcomes...

    Building For a Shot at the Top

    Remember Mike Fitzgerald screamed the Swans would not win the Flag while Buddy was playing for us. 2016 happened.

    Autopsy The Red V defeat Bulldogs - Rd 17

    When I saw Port, West Coast, Bulldogs; I thought we'll be lucky to win one. To narrowly lose one and convincingly win the other two is terrific. Convincingly! One consequence from the umpires today and Razor Ray the other week is percentage. What if percentage determines top 4?

    So head office wanted the Cats out? See how they go next week to confirm!

    Autopsy Swans vs. Suns

    Actually Rose tapped the ball to Ronke and kept running confusing the defenders and creating space for Ronke to kick the goal. Rose has tendered to be selfish and some of the Reserves watchers might comment on how that went in the twos. I think they played him in the midfield a lot to get him...

    Preview Round 15 - Swans v Suns

    Injury report lists Cameron with a quad injury and out for 2 - 3 weeks. I would assume Sinclair would not play this week. Someone up to date with the concussion rules? If that is the case, Thursday will be interesting. Reid and Aliir share the rucking?

    Preview Round 15 - Swans v Suns

    As players get older, they tend to take longer to get form back after soft tissue injuries. McVeigh has taken three to four weeks after his recent injuries to get back in form.

    Did they looked dysfunctional because they were coming off the bye? We have a history of looking dysfunctional when we come back from the bye!

    Game Day Round 9 Bloods v Norf

    Last year's game at the SCG actually convinced me Brad Scott could coach. In particular their forwards created space for each other exposing our short defense. Last year's game at the Docklands was my favorite game for the year. We played a very good game with the players looking like they...

    Autopsy Swans Vs Crows Rnd 2 2019

    Bit of a worry for the AFL. Completely p...ed off those that attended with that umpiring. Is that why only 30,000 turned up? Do they really want to grow the game in NSW?

    Gary Rohan - I don't get it

    Swans v GWS Giants Semi-Final or Preliminary Final at ANZ Stadium

    Giants showed their ability in that QF and dominated the game. Then you had another week off after just having a bye. If not for umpiring you would have made the Grand Final. If not for umpiring we would have won the Grand Final. PS I hate ANZ. Would rather miss getting tickets for...

    Game Day Swans vs. Hawks

    Rain radar shows some showers but they should clear late afternoon. Probably not that different to the amount of moisture you normally get from the dew.

    Sydney vs Hawthorn SCG Saturday Night - Double Chance at Stake

    I'm in the camp that the bye after round 23 takes away the advantage from top 4 sides that win week 1 (2 weeks off out of 3 is not good for match conditioning). Finishing 5th is quite good but if Melbourne beat GWS then the loser of this game will be in 6th and face GWS week 1 in the finals.

    Autopsy Swans vs GWS Round 22

    Could definitely beat Richmond playing like that. Credit to coaches. Giants had multiple injuries over the last few weeks leading to long game time for many of their players. Play a high pressure game and they were going to slow down in the last quarter. As it turns out it was the second...
