IIRC kicked around 1:5 against us last year. Game would have been over at half time if he had kicked straight.

Yep...he won it for us...bless his hairy lip ;)

I mentioned that on the podcast the other night. He destroyed us in the second quarter but could not kick accurately. It kept the door open for us and we won.

Damn the defeatist attitude on this forum is becoming unbearable this week. Yes, we have been shizen for most of the last 2 games but need I remind everyone that Richmond are on top of the ladder? 

OMac just kept Riewoldt quiet for most of the last game, despite some clearly excellent delivery from the Tigers midfield. Daniher may get off the leash once or twice, but he won't be the difference. OMac will be on this week again.

If he had kicked straight who knows if he would have kicked 6 goals!

Remember after a goal is scored the game starts again and. It’s a different scenario. We may have scored not Essendon.

With Bellchambers rested, the ugliest man in football will probably find himself in the ruck more this week.

Their only asset is to score quickly at Etihad. They can be shut down by a good side and like us they don't have a plan B.

Melbourne have scored poorly in the last two weeks and haven't been capable of playing 4 quarters. Their backs in Hurley and Hooker should be able to control Weids and Hogan so we never get clear of them, then if they turn on their best game in one quarter and score heavily against us we will lose.

Essendon can definitely win this match. The wild card for us is TMac. If he plays well we can win. Anyone who thinks we should just win is delusional. It's an even money contest.

We seem to be "that club" that forwards somehow find form against.

I expect him to kick a few, but he will have a tough time doing it on Omac.

Oscar has been solid.

He's got better this year for sure. Maybe our only bloke who has.

Oscar will towel him up.

Joe will come right up the ground if starved of supply. He does this. Also means Ess path to goal becomes weaker...showed up against Pies.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. 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
