Frustrating that in all his time off and over the pre-season, Bugg is still a shocking kick for goal.

Good first half, we've been cleaner and it's shown. I actually feel like Brisbane got on top of us with winning the ball and didn't allow us as many clean possessions but they just don't have the finishing skills to make us pay. If we blitz them early in the 3rd quarter than it could be game over and we can cruise home.

Hogan and Garlett have been very good today and Bugg should've made the most of Hogan's hard work.

Brisbane remind me of the first year Roos MFC team. No question of endeavour, just ball slaughter after error after cockup, and suddenly you are miles behind when you haven't even been that bad really. 

Wait for the confidence drop to come next. We really, really need to bury them.

Whoever pushed Jetta into that marking contest should be reported, ugly stuff.

True Steve, it was poor.

I must admit that I didn't see you posting when one his kicks hit ANB lace out for a goal.  

Swings and roundabouts I guess, eh?

I also haven’t commented on any of the other shocking kicks he’s made so far this game under no pressure.

So obviously I have no care if he hits one or two.

They shouldn't have to learn on game day. They should be learning at training or at Casey. It isn't good enough at this level. Tyson's kicking, turnovers and lack of awareness hurt us as a side too often. Bugg just plain and simply is a sh*t kick.

Tyson wants to go backward at every opportunity. He was out in the middle of the ground and his first instinct was to give a 2 Metre handle back to Jones who wasn't expecting it and we miffed the chance . Horrendous. That said, he is providing more than Maynard. Harmes way off the pace at the moment

Whatever floats your boat, Steve.  Outside of one I can think of, and that turnover, he's been pretty good.

Tyson hit someone (ANB I think) lace out off two steps from the boundary line which resulted in a goal. How much better do you want him to get?

I was born just in time to think that a 5 win season was a good one.

The suspense is killing me: who was your uncle?

We have been pretty good. Would want to really bury them though.

Bugg's goal kicking is 100% mental.

As Clint mentioned Wagner, Bugg (both of whom I don't rate) & Harmes clear bottom three. Hunt quiet but has credits with me as I'm a huge fan. The rest have been good. Hopefully two consistent quarters to come.

Couldn’t agree more. I love what Bugg brings and Tyson can be brilliant too but thier kicking will preven then from ever being exceptional

Funny, I am starting to warm to Wagner, yep the odd error, but I think he's getting a few consecutive games to get his head around it. Bugg  presents really well and hassles (and I can forgive that miss, because every other player has also missed that kick) and Harmess, well, he can take a mark, I don't think he has too much of an ego, and is better than 'serviceable'... theyll come on in the second half (but then I guess they're just down hill skiiers)?? Agreed, let's hope the consistency comes for the second half.

If Wiseblood and Saty think you're right, yer right.

Plus he's been good, MFC confirmation bias in full swing.

You bought up a pile of cheats, not me

i have no time for cheating, my comments on the Essendrug disgrace were always rock solid.

See you have moved from Oscar last year to Tyson this year.. lol..

First game for this year and Tyson has been quite handy. Showing why he showed have been in the side last week instead of Maynard. You'll get the odd error from him, like Jones, like Viney, and like Petracca.. but he has a touch of class about him too which when on song, can be quite a dominant midfielder.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    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
