West Coast lost by over 100 points against Carlton!
Let that sink i if you doubt that they are tanking.

One thing is certain- no need to take the crowd out of the equation. Would be lucky to get 13k to the ground. (I think GWS vs Blues early this season got <10k, and AFL app won't give any crowd sizes for any games last yr at Giants Stadium) Not much noise. Ok, most goals Higgo 4 Most marks Wilkie 12...

I would have agreed with you before Adelaide.
Let's hope The Defensive Universe agrees with you.
Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti!
I've got a Toby feeling about this.

Has Rowan Marshall changed his name for the indigenous round?
Check out the club website for this week's ins and outs.

I have us at 14 wins. Beating Tigers, Hawks twice each, beating Norf again, losing to Dees, Cats, maybe Swans, Lions... Will 14 get us into the 8? Yes it will get us into the eight easily, but I think we will only win 12 games, which will make it tough. In our current form we will only beat Hawthor...

B: Stocker Howard Webster HB: Clark Battle Wilkie C: Wanganeen-Milera Crouch Mackenzie HF: Membrey Owens Wood F: Butler King Higgins R: Marshall Steele Sinclair I: Ross Gresham Jones Hill Ross is stiff not to start, but the other three should be traded due to form inconsistency, regular injuries and...

Higgins has kicked 14 goals 4 behinds this year and single handedly (bootedly) won us the Essendon game. Butler is an opportunistic pressure forward Gresham is a contested ball winner with poor disposal decision Higgins has also missed the lot with many of his set shots, due to his terrible ball dr...

So you're all prepared to accept that Higgins set-shot goalkicking will keep being a lottery then?

I think not, because one of them doesn't finish like an AFL player.
Higgins has had at least five years to sort his set shots out at two clubs.
Butler and Gresham can only impact as forwards, so they can't be moved anywhere else.
None are mids IMHO.

It's time to bring back The Bubble!

Assuming that Collingwood beat Brisbane up there on Easter Thursday.

I'm not taking it one week at a time and only looking at Round 3. If we win tonight and Sydney lose to Melbourne then we will be on top of the ladder. Next week we are at home again to Gold Coast and a win is quite probable then . That would leave us on top of the ladder with a top of the ladder Rou...

His first game for us was a win against the Demons. I was at that game on July 1, 2018. Joyce moved well as a third-tall defender, but he looked out of hos depth and provided little rebound. As a team it was our best win for that season (1 of 4) under Richo. We compered strongly all day and I leftv...

I see that we have 3 unused jumper numbers - 2, 24 and 46. Now, I get it for number 2 but WTF for 24 and 46? Is there a gun who is ready to come to us in the mid-season draft but only if he can keep his present number? So, probably not a number 46 but who of the current 17 number 24s is busting to ...

Before being suspended for September for knocking out Harris Andrews in the last round, while contesting a mark and making front on contact (it didn't cost Cripps a Brownlow)!

Or the Bombers!

I'm glad that you think they will play finals if the finish 6-8!
The only way that they could miss the finals if they finish 6-8 is if they are caught taking performance-enhancing drugs like tge Bombets.

Delistings: Adams, Campbell, Peris
Trades: Jones, Billings, McKenzie
All are too injury prone, but obviously have X-factor and hence at least some trade value.

“….Ultimately, we’d love the next coach, whenever that is, to come out of the group that is here.’’

Personally I hope it's Enright, because premiership teams are built on defence.
If RTB can t get it done by 2026 that is!

Yes it's a huge disaster, almost tragic actually. In fact it really makes what is happening in Ukraine, Syria and Turkiye pale into insignificance! Seriously, this was always going to be a game-olan development year. We are going to tread water mid ladder until 2025, when the youngs uns start to dev...
