Credit where it is due

Not gonna go too in depth atm cause I'm enjoying this game too much, but some players who have fairly copped some criticism recently deserve some praise. Green, NevJet, Morton, Rivers, Bennell, Jurrah, Martin and Jones. I wanted to write this now, because I think regardless of the result from here, they still deserve the praise

You're preaching to the long converted here hardtack. I am just SO happy to finally see them playing like this. And on my birthday to boot, makes it all the sweeter!

Happy birthday.... 5 goals lead going into the last; it's theirs for the taking if they want it bad enough.

And I'm talking all credit as I tipped the Bummers to win knowing that would play in our favour :-)

You've not been watching the game? He was subbed off with a badly corked thigh.

Haha, thanks mate. I won platinum dining passes with the NSW Demons player sponsorship, and had a choice of this week, or next. Almost wishing I had gone for this week now, would have been great. Although with the way our new kids have stood up, we might have a good dip next week.

We haven't won yet.

You are right, but the whole point of the thread, if you read it, is that regardless of the result the boys deserve some cred for the way they have gone about it.

What I am liking is that you can see the deep respect that Bailey has for those players and the feeling is so obviously reciprocated.

You're right. I've never seen that before, because for some reason Bailey has tried to hide it. It is really good to see, and great to see him reacting with passion to what was a great win.

Can we finally get it that Bailey is a development coach of a young side, he has their respect and he has a plan

30 tackles between McKenzie, Scully, Trengove and Gysberts. I like our future midfield.

Yup, was great to watch.

I've been praising him all season, but even I was surprised to hear tonight that he has been averaging something like 28 disposals over the past few weeks.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
