I thought Tyson was much improved today, made a couple of mistakes but 24 touches, 6 tackles and 2 goals is getting back towards his best footy

Man O Man that was satisfying. Our midfield can actually play! I cant believe that I can type that and believe it. 

Our forward 50 entries in the last quarter were horrible but our effort around the ball all day was simply stunning. 

Very soon opposition teams will have to tag Watts and Viney - these two boys are causing headaches every week. 

And we beat the filth.

We have a lot of talent looking for a spot in this team. Can not help but think we should be undefeated. 

 

Yes

Selection will be interesting next week

Vince to return, Trengove must be starting to press and CP5 getting closer  -  anyone know his VFL game time today?  Got a shed load of possessions I hear

We beat the Filth in a game they have pumped themselves up for.... and we beat them convincingly.

 

Now read tomorrows papers and see how Colonwood are "in crisis", and MFC barely rate a mention.

Wow did i enjoy that game. All 22 players just played their role and did the job.

Kudos to Hunt and Wagner who i was pretty nervous before the game. But they both showed that they do not look out of place today.

Also Pedo and Frost too. While Frost was bit clumsy i thought the fact he played more of a high half forward role suited him better.

Frost will be good if he can ever take a mark. Gets his hands on it plenty, just needs to start clunking them.

Firstly, to the Pies fan on level 4 of the Southern Stand who yelled out, "Shut up you losers, you're all losers!" to the Melbourne supporters booing an umpire decision, only for Kent to run on to an errant Pies kick for an easy goal mere seconds later, STICK THAT RIGHT UP YA!

Secondly, we *could* have won by 10+ goals plus but the ability to stem Pies' comeback is telling. We played in second gear for the 2nd, third and fourth quarters. Really was the quintessential Roos win circa Sydney 2005.

Thirdly, Hogan today demonstrated he is much, much more than a one-trick forward. He is going to be a star CHF. 

Fourthly, loved Wagner's confidence.

Fifthly, McDonald needs to add some attacking flair to his game. I liked him today and he is reliable enough in patches but he is unreliable with the ball. 

Sixthly, Our forward pressure is something I don't think I've seen since 2000. Garlett in that side and we win by 10 goals, easily.

Seventhly.. YOU BLOODY BEAUTYYYY

It would be good not to get a mention. We don't need it . Now hopefully we beat Richmond and they can cop it the following week. 

Was a good win today but apart from the later part of the 1st quater it was fairly even. A good side will learn to win  games the way we won today. They do it in about a half of a quater.

I find it interesting that the leadership is coming from Watts,Jones,Gawn and Jetta .

The have been through lots of trials for this club but the club has given them chances as well.

When I picture Garland I see the damage Roos speaks of.

The kids have no fear either.

Yet I am more impressed by these Four who have shown tremendous faith and resilience and improved themselves steadily.

I was really worried with the young kids and having too many, but Wagner and Hunt were very good today.

 

We played some bloody good football today but we need to eliminate some bad handballs and just kick it down the line. Really got the filth back into it in the second pretty much all from our bad disposal.

Was cheering Watts on, really wanted him to get 4-6 goals today that would have been the cherry on top.

Disagree. He was excellent today. His kicking has been cleaned right up and he was plenty damaging enough.

The lid is off.

They could have rattled us a number of times, but we really stuck it out and it was fantastic to see. From memory, they didn't get closer than about 20 points and, each time they looked likely, we pushed back really hard.

Gawn's tap work set us up, especially early. We have a good bunch of inside mids, so couple that with potentially the best tap ruckman in the game, and we are dangerous.

My biggest concerns at selection: Hunt and Wagner both in, and Pedersen and Frost both in. LOL

Glad I added the caveat of "I assume they know what they're doing"!

It was good to see someone like Kent who can flash in and out of games really back up his performance from last week.

Everyone played their role which was good to see, Wagner showed why it's important to give a new player a couple of weeks to really show what they can do.

Its great to see us not having to rely on N.Jones solely any more. His games haven't been as damaging as previous years but he's still played well enough but it just shows how much more support he has now. He can sacrifice his own game for the better of the team.

Nothing more satisfying than beating that mob, singing our song and watching the long faces of their players and coach as they trudge off.  I'm currently enjoying healthy glass of the sponsors delightful red.  Always a good drop, but superb tonight!  

And guess what we will do again in a few weeks.

Does it get any better than beating the Pies twice in the one year?

Hopefully we've ended Nathan Buckley's coaching career as well. That would be the icing on the cake.

No that happens on QB weekend

Very [censored] right now. Just wanted to say that normally I'm very circumspect, respectful and cautious but today, in the company of two pies supporters I decided to back my team in with loud, obnoxious, support and the boys didn't let me down. Great day. Go Dees!!!

It looked like Goodwin coached the first half and Roos the second half.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
