Go Norwood!

 

Another Blue and Red win!

Best team all year and great to hear that song again


5AA commentators praising coach Nathan Bassett and suggesting he's about to embark on an AFL coaching career.

Could he possibly be in Paul Roos' sights!

I'm hoping he is our senior assistant.

Essendon has been mentioned.


Grand Old Flag. The sing the 2nd verse!!

We must start doing it.

GOOD OMEN.

BACK TA BACK....

Great stuff

How'd Aish and Dumont finish up?

It wouldnt surprise me WJ, he has a great record. What did you think of Aish's game ?

Great hearing the song but I can't get my head around the words, "the team played fine in the year 29"?

The lyrics contain the reference to 2 premiership years 1929 and 1946

they say 46 six six six to rhyme with the we were hard to lick lick lick

Haha them croweaters are pretty funny

Bet Neil Balme has a smile on his face

As for Bassett i think he will come to the AFL

After a 2-3 year Roos apprenticeship he would be ready

Feather in his cap is he has a defensive style of game plan

Winning a premiership in the SANFL is how Clarkson got the gig at the Hawks

Basset today won back to back

Watching on iview right now. I have to say I like the look of Aish. I'd call him rangy rather than skinny. He'll never be a powerhouse but he could wind up with a Jobe Watson-type build to go with good pace and really nice skills. Totally worth taking at 2 if we still have it.

If Jobe Watson isn't a powerhouse than I don't know who is.

I didn't see the game but listened on radio. Aish and Dumont played well in the first half but both faded after half time. I'm taping the game when it's on ABC1 later in the week but won't get to watch it until I return from a trip overseas.

The radio commentators were pretty happy with both youngsters and I was happy to catch the vision of Billy Stretch from the reserves game. I was genuinely surprised at his talents. Hopefully, he gets to spend some of next year at Casey like Jack Viney did last year.


"So hard to kick goals against from stoppages." That's another area we're weak in that Norwood do well.

This is the first time I've seen Aish play and I can say that he isn't a bit like Morton. He's skinny, but in a long kind of way and he isn't afraid of contact. As I said above, I can see him developing a build similar to Jobe Watson. His skills are very impressive, in particular that they hold up under pressure. I think he'd be well worth it if we can't get an outright gun in trade for pick 2.

Apparently we have spoken to everyone including him so speculation builds. after all it is a big decision!

Jack, he would be the perfect fit.

He knows the words to the song and he doesn't really need to wait 10 weeks to sing it.

Very highly doubt Aish will get to Watsons build.. Watson is a solid 96kg with powerful legs. Aish will be lucky to clock 82 kg. If anyone he will most likely have the build of a Kade Simpson or Dyson Heppell.

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
