    I wear the #5 on my back, have since Ox in the mid 90's. I loved the Ox so much I vowed I would love (unconditionally) every Melb player that takes the #5 after, i loved the chook, I love the Gys!

    Best game for the MFC by far last night from the Gys.

    Absolute Corker, well done young man. I didn't think you were that good until last night (i thought you were just good!!)

    Now i know you are one of our guns...keep it up.

    Great to see the Ox's number 5 pumping again.

    It is widely considered arround the traps in the AFL that we have the worst player development. I think most are right. Hopefully Todd Viney can change this.

    What, formulated opinion, Past Tense, up to 3 Years ago and before? Or in the last 3 Years.

    IMO we've definately had terrible player development prior to this current administrations life. But I'm not sure about this current player development group.

    What I feel comfortable saying is that Us supporters are guilty of being Apethetic and trusting in the Process Will deeliver us success. It hasn't for 50 Years! Us supporters IMO encourage players Into a comfort zone, which leads to soft and cautious football.

    I hope we can get tougher on the Players instead of Blaming the string of Coaches who haven't been able to "Crack the Code" of the North! Pedestals covered in Corduroy.

    Gysberts was excellent. Our young midfield is pretty exciting!

    Too right.

    Btw, it's amazing what occurs once our midfield is strengthened..... :rolleyes:

    If you have access to vision of the match, watch the lead up to Melksham's snap goal.

    Gysberts hands, to cleanly gather the ball and handball it so quickly, took Frawley by such surprise that it hit him on the chest, bounced off and ended up in the bombers hands, trickling out to Melksham's for the goal.

    It wasn't that Gysberts fired it at Chip like a rocket, just that it was so clean and quick that he didn't even consider it as a possibility.

    Giz's hands are phenomenal.

    He was great but I think that's bordering on hyperbole.

    The pick up was to be expected and the handball was, if anything, behind Frawley.

  • Quote

    Hmmm.

    Not the angle on the replay I saw this morning on one of the Footy Shows.

    Maybe I was wrong.

    Man, Gysberts was amazing. For some reason, it's easy to forget that he's barely played a dozen games. To be averaging something like 20 possessions at this stage in your career is outstanding. Surely he'll get his second nod this week. And probably be in the top few contenders for the grand prize as well...

    <shameless plug> And on the topic of Rising Star, it's good to see the award debated in the news week. Based on what I've been reading at Demonland and Demonology after all these years, I think I have a solution

    Read your article mate, nice work. Should definitely be limited to players under 21 in their first or second season. Jack Steven's no star but he was going to get one eventually because he's got three years on most of the candidates.

    Off-topic: Reminds me, I was planning to write something about Sydney...and Jack Watts. Thanks for reminding me :)

    I don't disagree with you dee-luded as far as our horrible record of player development goes, but how exactly does the Melbourne fan base influence whether a player falls into a comfort zone or not.

    Short of hanging over the fence and spitting at the players as they trudge off after another loss in the Richmond supporter tradition, (and we all know how well that has worked for them!!) how do I make it known to the player group that I am not satisfied with their performance.

    I have never accepted sub standard performances from any Melbourne team even over the last 3 or 4 years of development hardship we have had to endure. Even kids can give their 100%. Not me, any of my Melbourne supporting mates or the supporters I sit with on game day would swallow non effort. I think the majority of our fan base have moved past the painfully repetitive Stereotype of apathetic, snow going, range rover drivers that gets a run this time every year.

    What I do know is that the coaching staff and personell that are installed at any one time are given the responsibility of developing these boys and I would hope number one on thier list would be to make sure these boys give a sh#t and give nothing but 100%. If they cant do this then the rest doesnt matter. Bring in the next coach and off we go again.

    We have come close to getting it right too few times since our last premiership and i will keep dreaming and hoping of the day we do. If that makes me apathetic well then steer me in the right direction.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
