Stretch's pass to Hogan who then kicks a goal. I'd say that that hurt the opposition.

Redleg and I bumped into Joeboy at Tommy Ruff's fish place in Elsternwick during the week.

Can we have a three word assessment of the tucker that night?

I'd go again

Absolutely boring game.

We won but I am not convinced we are advancing in our gameplay nor standards. Turnovers were shocking AGAIN!!!!

time to end your life we won.

Howe- Probably our best

Probably cop some flack for this but Howe was close to our best today. He was everywhere and laid some important tackles.

By no means does it make up for his poor season so far, but credit where credit is due, Howe was very good today.

Brian Taylor - clearly no idea

"Jeremy Howe has had a fantastic season"

"No velvet trumpeter today. Usually for Melbourne home games you see him at the start of the match"

It's ignoramuses like him overrating Howe that will help us get overs during trade week.

The new trumpeter was there yesterday. He was just starting up when the siren sounded - short quarter - so he held back and started again in sync with the PA.

Surely club recruiters are a little bit more with it than some of the buffoons in the media.

One would hope but then we have had some shockers not so long ago.

Dunn outstanding season? Bollocks!

To be fair to Joeboy, Dunn has spent most of his career out standing in the field somewhere, usually pointing. But I'm with you. I think Dunn was outstanding last year whereas this year I think he's been a bit hot and cold.

Harmes - showed a bit.

What I liked about him was his clean hands and his ability to kick with both feet. 15 disposals and 3 tackles isn't bad for his second game.

His kick to advantage to Vandenberg in the first quarter was also good.

I thought he was great. Stood up well in the contest for a second gamer. Liked his patience and ball use.

Its the small things you look for in these early games for the younger guys. Saw similar things from Brayshaw in the first few games from tackling to battling hard in a contest and eventually breaking out with good ball use and decision making. Harmes is on the right track.

I also think Stretch does a lot of the small things really well. Runs well and positions himself well. The defensive side of his game is great. Layed some terrific tackles. Look forward to seeing him develop.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
