Watching the Sunday Footy Show James Brayshaw said for Melbourne fans watch Footy Classified where Dean Bailey will be a special guest. So stay up or tape it if you want to see what has to be said. Should be interesting with him and Garry with Garry saying he wouldn't give him a new contract just yet.

Anyway just thought I'd give the heads up.

Thanks for that.

How about running a sweep on the number of times the word "competitive" gets mentioned during the course of the interview?

I'm in. I'll get it started with one every one and a half minutes. I assume he'll be on for around ten minutes of show-time, so that would put my answer at seven. I'll keep track of it.

will be very interesting what Garry Lyon has to say to Bailey , after his comments last week.... Hutchy, I'm sure, will bring it up.

I don't expect fireworks. Garry will ask a couple of hard questions and Bails will give calm measured responses to them. Then that waste of skin Hutchy will make some sorta right but mostly made up statements while grinning like a ten year old that has dropped the f-bomb in adult company. Usually Caro will then say something that makes no sense and Thomas will look at both the journos like they have just crawled out of the swamp and are 5 million years short of being considered human.

Heh. There you go. I'd say there is now no point watching but I wonder how close to the mark I'll be.

HAHAHAHAH! And the funniest thing about that (other than the fact that it's all true) is that it's the winningest formula for that type of show that currently exists.

No, I was only tricking. I can read. Didn't you find it strange that I was able to reply to your posts?

Anyone else noticed they have given Caro a bit of a make-over this season? She has either lost some weight or channel 9 has given her a face & chin tuck. Also must have got the teath whitened & straightened coz it doesn't look like she has a mouth full of Edgell peas anymore.

Still cringe most times she offers an opinion.

Hmmm, not sure that this is necessary, we don't spend much time worrying about what the blokes look like, why worry about her? . BTW, she had braces which must have been removedover the summer.

Disagree about Caro. She's usually extremely well informed and always backs up the opinions she offers up which is more than I can say for people who only toss up ad hominem insults.

I actually look forward to her Tuesday evening segments on 3AW.

Competitive = 7

Training = 6

Intensity = 8

Confidence = 23

and the sentence "we'll derive confidence from executing skills at training"

I agree, i think grant thomas is the weakest link on that show, because he makes such wild statements, and has basically no stats or evidence to back them up. It's almost as if he comes straight from the pub

How many times will he mention the phrase "playing games together"?

It's becoming a cliche at the Melbourne Footy Club, but I have no problem with it since I subscribe to the same theory.

We're on the right track.

Disagree. Thomas is the best part of that show. He isn't afraid to speak his mind, risks getting into trouble if he thinks criticism is due of the AFL or umpires, and he is generally reasoned with what he says.

Unlike Hutchy, who blows everything out of proportion and makes ridiculous comments most of the time.

I like Thomas too.

He isn't afraid to speak his mind and offer an alternative view.

I like people like him who think outside the box, but he can be antagonistic at times.

Yes he can. It does get annoying at times, but overall it's probably necessary.

The other thing I don't like is his St Kilda bias. But other than those, really he's a good part of the team.

i saw garry this morning. i was almost going to ask him what he was going to say to bailey tonight, and whether his opinions on him had changed at all in the last 7 days.

i decided against it, as it was too early in the morning on a public holiday, so i thought i'd let him get his latte in peace.

Yes, he'll talk of "getting games into the young players", "competitiveness", the amount of "quarters won" last year not being good enough, of not rushing Jack and getting his "body ready to withstand the rigours of the AFL", the disappointment of losing "Liam Jurrah" and how incredible it is that "he's only played 9 games", how well "Scully and Trengove have recovered from games" and that we carefully monitor their "loads", that he's got a great relationship with the "Board and Cameron Schwab who've been very supportive and understand what we're trying to achieve", how it "wasn't acceptable to lose to Collingwood" and that the players will "learn from that"....

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
