Amazing what happens when you kick the ball a fair bit more and gain yardage, get it i50 a little quicker ....

This week's kick to handball ratio .... 1.33

Last week....  1.07

If we get anything out of today, it's that we made the right decision taking Oliver over Parish.  Another 33 touches for Oliver today.

Clarrie has been monstrous in the 2nd half - the kid is a gun.

Bernie needs to play in the middle he's so much more effective 

Pedersen in the team and Vince in the middle.

Two things that fans have been calling for all year, two things that worked very well today.

Bernie in the middle, much better and we are much better for it.

Viney really lifted this half, hopefully it is the start of finding some form.

pedersen was great today, Watts pretty bloody good, Trac looked injured but pushed through and played a really solid game up forward. 

Tyson still a slight worry, but not majorly so. 

JKH must go out. Melksham needs to get more defensive.

Happy with the win. Played better after half time. Few highlights. 

Effectively an 8 point game against Bombers. That's the critical element.

We murdered the ball in the first half.

I was confident we'd turn it around in the second half and we did - props to the players. This is where we have improved immensely. The last couple of years we would have folded after half time, but we are getting better. It just takes time.

To be fair ET, so did they. I've seen us lose these many, many times.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
