Hand-wringing

The last game to have this much hand-wringing was the PA game with the 28 minutes of hell (PA - 7.7 to Melb - 0.1).

The past month has been good, for the worst team in the league, and we are the worst - Richmond won 10 games last year, we are coming off a 3 and 19 season.

We are not good, so enjoy the development of the youngsters, and we have plenty playing despite the desire to put the 5 over 25s out to pasture, maintain perspective and reflect on where we were this time last year (when a much older team lost to the Hawks by 100 points).

Brock aint Judd, but he had 8 clearances and played well, you will notice his lack of pace less when he has quicker teammates to hand it off to.

Robbo is as Robbo does, how can anyone be surprised at his antics (the great to the awful - in a split second)? But mugs don't kick 400 goals.

Bailey kept them going after that awful start and they never gave up, used the corridor much more in the second half.

Junior was up and down but reflects or perhaps imbues the never-say-die spirit that we seem to have this year (there have been many occassions where I felt we would drop away and get thumped but we haven't).

If you look for a disaster you will find it, but if you look at what was (2007-2008), and compare to what has just been (Adel -17, Geel -43, WCE -8 (Subi), WB -7, and Haw -22) your perspective and expectations come back to reality.

    The 22 pt margin flattered us a lot but [censored] i'll take it.

    Brock's never going to reach the heights i thought he'll get to but gesus he's still going to be a very important player when we are - when we will be a good side.

    Young teams are prone to be inconsistent.

    As long as our effort... and wait for it, competitiveness, is consistent, that is all we can really hope for right now.

    Mistakes are costing us games and earning us priority picks. It's all going according to plan.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
