I'm too honest of a person and decided to go to work. I'll be home around half time but I'll be recording the game to watch from the start. Please hold off on posting any scores, updates or general co

Really want to go and quote all the wrist slashing, no idea posts from the first quarter. Good improvement boys

Think you'll find at the time, they were spot on the money.

We obviously reset well, because that was a smashing quarter. Just cut them up.

But we were awful for large parts of the first.

If Dawes can't hit a handball target from < 5 metres, can someone please tell me what use he is. Can't mark, can't kick, can't handpass.

Has done some great work since!

Not perfect, still error riddled, but the ball movement was far more decisive that quarter. If we can tidy up our ball use and decision making we'll blast them away.

Jones and Vince are good players, but they both try to do to much with the ball.

Dinky kicks, spears to high or to low, snaps over the man on the mark without moving away far enough for kicking.

"Open up another pop up" after Gawny's last goal. First time I have laughed at a Brian Taylor comment!

Probably the cleanest quarter of footy we have played for a while. Loving Trengove's decision making and clean hands

Mate, there is a difference between posts stating we haven't started well, as opposed to "Jones is a bit grader amd we need to trade our leadership group out" or "we haven't improved at all" 

While we field young and inexperienced teams, We will have great games and inconsistent quarters, we will have bad games with great quarters. Let's hope our inconsistent quarter is done, and the rest of the game we continue to play great.

Correct. I doubt Roosy was blowing them kisses at the quarter time huddle. 

A much better second quarter. 

I wish Nichols and long and painful bout of gastro. The man is a fool.

Fair enough.

Although from memory, the only one who said we haven't improved at all is SWYL, which is pretty much par for the course.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
