Your personal relationship with JKH is clouding your judgement. 

No its not,  Kent is out of form, JKH is playing his role because I asked him what it was, puts his body on the line and does the one per centers, will get on the end of goals eventually

But the again I don't pick the team

Way over the top. TMac was best on ground, but his kicking was plain embarrassing, which dragged down his game. Tyson made a coupe of errors but I thought had a good game. I wish he'd clean up his kicks, but he wasn't horrible today 

Thought Tyson worked his way into the game a little better this week. Hopefully can keep building for next week.

Well that's a glaring oversight by the MFC!

11 disposals, 4 clangers, 1 tackle. 

The choice isn't just purely between JKH and Kent.

Agreed, but who should do the kick in? Not sure Hibberd is the answer as I seem him as a distributor to the midfield after the kick in.

Salem

Don't all commentators want the brave Essendon to win?

 

My brother did a fence for Hudson, said he was an arrogant piece of [censored]. 

Are you saying Anthony Hudson steals things to give to your brother to [censored] in hotels? I never would have guessed.

 

Edit: the censored word is 'golf' backwards. Who would have thought that would be censored?

This game was won when we moved Vince into the middle and Salem to half back at half time. Vince completely changes our on ball mix and his creativity comes to the four (without the costly turnover goals) and his smart body blocking clears the way for Jones et al at stoppages. With Hibberd settled I hope that is the last we see of him in the back 6. Sloppy first half but effort was good. Trac, Hannan, Watts kept really good separation on each other after half time which stopped Hurley being able to get off his man and cut us off. Good to get through with the win but also without any obvious injuries and with Viney and Tyson looking like they are on their back to form in the second half.

Just took the above gem of Bomberblitz.

Gotta love it.

At a glance on that page there are some interesting poster names over there. Heptides, Coke_and_Ice and IceTemple for starters. Hmmm....

I loved that Bernard finally went back into the midfield today and got a couple quick clearances. Can we please leave him there and never have him back again!!

He uses his massive leg from the centre circle to full forward with minimal fuss as a weapon instead of turning the pill over continually down back.

This.

Thought Vince was a lot better moving into the midfield in the 2nd half. It's were he should be playing & should stay there. 

Yes, made up for some boo-boos ! :unsure:

Make sure you have a celebratory gutful on the flight Steve.

I was well lubed (not the type you're thinking of) prior to the bounce but backed off. 

These are on Mr Branson so I intend to capitalise as much as possible.

To be fair, they looked like us from last week: cooked. I did say Lewis needed to step up but he got under the radar well and truly. That goal from the boundary was the one that broke them completely.

Pedo brings something to the midfield that Spencil cannot. He gets his own pill, blocks and puts a real presence to the contest. He is the definitive role player and he plays said role very well.

Disgraceful first half, great second half.

Pressure, kicking and movement miles better. Viney was much better.

Oliver and Tracca are our future, teams can be built around them. Both brilliant.

Hibbo and Lewy were great, as were Watts and Peders (welcome back)

JKH and Melksham were terrible. Bugg and ANB not much better. Tyson can be infuriating.

Go in against the Dawks with positivity, but be HUNGRY.

I am no Tyson fan, but I have noticed he is better as a middle man. If Tyson can hit the receiver at full speed then he can recapture his better form. Oliver is the key to that, and Viney lifting his game will help as well. Tyson has a sharp football brain, he just isn't the contested ball getter some have believed him to be (because he is easy to catch). As a middle man he can use his football brain to his advantage, and in turn be less rushed to kick. That is something I have noticed.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
