Month: April 2026

The Bombers went full Essendon in the 2nd half Saturday, giving up 15 goals to 6 against a low-scoring Collingwood outfit after a couple of pretty solid showings but that’s the inconsistentices of a young team for ya. The Pies were always going to be too professional against the Bombers with their elite organisation around...

The Swans are flying at the moment which concerns all us Sydney supporters as we’ve seen this story too many times before, yet this does seem different as we’re doing without Gulden (which we couldn’t do last year), and didn’t see much of a drop off without Heeney this past weekend either, albeit against the...

The Swans keep rolling on sitting on top of the ladder with a 30% difference between them and 2nd spot Freo while being 1st in points for and 2nd for points against coming up against a potentially injury ravished Bulldogs Thursday night. GWS, themselves injury ravished but over a much longer stretch, just haven’t had...

Usually, I’m watching games on some form of delay as I’m never home when they start which allows me to fast forward through them a touch but with a soleus strain during the game Friday night and the resultant icing I needed to do for it coupled with being unable to drive to the reserves/senior...

Another week of the exact same from the Blues – half/three quarter time lead and a loss – against Pies team that’s just going with multiple best-10 players missing. This game is broken into 2 with today showing some positive clips (mostly Colingwood) and tomorrow being negative clips (all Carlton). I don’t normally analyse games...

Same old story for the Blues which is a cannot-stop-watching trainwreck at the moment because no matter how good they are early, we know it’ll fall apart later. The Crows really need this win to stay in touch with the top 8 (can’t bring myself to say top 10 yet!) but they’re anti-2026 brand of...

If you’re a regular reader/watcher of my game analysis posts then you’ll be well aware of the teams like Sydney, Gold Coast and Brisbane creating length through the center of the ground for to move the ball through the corridor whole getting your forwards deep inside forward 50 at the same time. Leading up to...

The Dogs could have made an awful mess of the Bombers but a late scratching for Richards and a 2nd quarter injury to English allowed an Essendon comeback of sorts for an 8-2 goal 2nd half to the Bombers. Nothing to worry about for the Dogs who were probably looking ahead with Hawthorn this week...
