Disagree on Grimes, always gives his all but he was a liability at times today. Otherwise, pretty much spot on. You can bet your bottom dollar that every game we win under Roos will have everyone playing their part. A gun coach.

One bad clanger does not make him a liability.

I thought Salem struggled a bit in his first full game today. Eight possessions, He got caught twice in tackles when I thought he would sense the player coming behind him. Got pinged on the second one which was appalling umpiring but I expected him to slip that tackle. Anyway early days, probably struggling for fitness levels at this stage.

Grimes should not be taking kickouts, nor should he be used as a short target when someone else takes one. His kicking just isn't suited to that situation. He seems to be better in general play than he is with those spot kicks.

Got pinged twice, incorrect call on both occasions. I think he may have run over that Umpire's cat.

My main point was I thought he would be able to slip both tackles but he kept running in a straight line and got caught.

No duds today!

Bitter, this is the difference. We have had some players this year to have shockers, but in the main we are producing an even spread of team football across the 22.

Not sure why you bother.

Writing toumpas off after a bit over season, McDonald just 21, jones in his second season, Terlich in his second full season.

Amazing.....

10 Rounds, what about the last 50 years ?? I'll give you the fact that yes, some duds have been very very good .. But after 50 years how's your patience,??

I don't think we were lucky today. We deserved to win.

I would suggest some of our players didn't have a great day but here's the thing.... In the past we had a whole lot of players who were poor...actually liabilities. Today Salem was quiet as was bail but neither were poor or a negative to the team just little impact.

I don't think anyone here is saying finals ... Just enjoying the win..

That's my say.

    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

Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    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
