Great day for the club.

Great day for Rev and MND.

 

And beating Pies back to back on QB. So good.

We are now 1 game out of the 8 behind the Eagles who just lost Nic Nat for 8 weeks.

Finals must be the aim, no excuses!

Called it at 5am. Max Gawn best ruxkman in the league. Struggled to pick a name to stand up before the game and a team effort burried the pies.

Look out GWS next year is ours

Fantastic stuff.  Some will lament some poor decision making at times, and we turned it over a little, but the intent and willingness of the players to run hard was simply fantastic.  This is not a fickle and soft club anymore.

Gawn was immense and the midfield smashed theirs.  Kennedy responded superbly and our backline was fantastic.  They make the odd mistake but the kids were alright today.  When the press works it works VERY well.

Our forward line was great as well.  Kent had a ripper, Hogan got 3, Dawes worked his backside off and Petracca... well... this kid is going to be something.  

And the cherry on the top?  Sticking it up the Pies!

It's a grand old flag. I need to apologise to my students for my total lack of interest in anything they have been doing. I just don't understand why the Queen's birthday is not a holiday in China.

GO DEES!

Here we go, here we go!

Watching how debilitated the Rev has become due to his illness almost made me cry. Defeat the beast.

Gawn just...just...brownlow material

Dawes' mark on the hb line before our run of goals was the catalyst to our ascendancy, funnily enough. He was great.

Watts' game was closure to his horrid debut. I'm very proud that he is a Demon.

I'm now convinced that the Frost-as-forward experiment was a part of his development as a defender. He was fantastic at moments and so too were Hunt and Wagner. 

Petracca just gets better and better.

Trenners' mark and goal!

Go you mighty Demons!

Edit: congrats Nasher! Please go to more games.

Uncontested possessions- up by 120. We may have over used it, but similar to the dogs, we just didn't let them get there hands on the ball. Think that's as well as Collingwood can play. 8 goal win, highly accurate goal kicking again (1.4 early) bring on the swans

Very tough conditions out there with the wind.

 

We look to have settled our key backs for the next eight to ten years hopefully with the two McDonalds and Frost.

 

With Hunt and Wagner providing great run and Jetta being our best defender, there's lots to be excited about.

I got a bit worried late in the third quarter, when we repeatedly turned over the ball coming through half forward, with no pressure on the player kicking. But Collingwood are sooooo bad, they couldn't capitalise. 

Apart from this hiccup, we simply out played, out tackled, out pressured and out marked them. Even when we made errors, and we made some shockers, our players charged back in and made it difficult for the Pies to get forward. We were bloody ferocious at the contest, and how good was our pack marking - brilliant.

Sorry I can't join the party most teams would have belted the pies by 10 goals.  Oscar was passable but should still be at Casey - he gave away 2 goals.  Jetta, Stretch & VDB were barely adequate.  Frost & Tom McD were lucky the Pies kicking for goal was poor.  Hogan dropped 3 chest marks.  Trengove is just going.  Lucky for us Watts, Max & Bernie had huge games & the Pies were missing a few players.

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
