    Carlton mate showed me a stat this morning. 

    Marchbank: Metres gained - Minus 13. Is that even possible for a full game? 

    Sadly, some of our past players might have him on that pre Roos.  Don't want to mention names as they did their best but we consistently handballed in circles and backward to a player under pressure until we turned it over.  Painful. 

    As an aside, there are so many similarities Bolton to Neeld: lauded as a teacher, talked up by their premiership winning coach, acid tongue when under pressure demoralising players (altho Bolton hides it better behind his childish smile).  Rubbish game plan.  Both clubs shambolic off field with poor player development. And they play 'bruise free' football?

    It amazes me how they had a template of what not to do (MFC) yet they have copied it to a T.

    Two consecutive 10 goal floggins from bottom 4 clubs and players aren't playing for him.  He will really feel the blowtorch now.  So glad it isn't us anymore.

    Their injury list is horrific to be fair. Although other than Docherty their outs would only have made a difference around the margins.

    They need to do an independent full club reiview. Football department, administration, recruting, fitness and medical staff... the whole kit and caboodle looks to be a shambles.

    What amazes me is some Carlton fans think that Tyson would be surplus to their needs. He’d be their second best inside mid by a mile. They don’t even know how to help themselves.

    True their injury list is a problem but I suspect they wouldn't make much difference. 

    The bigger problem is they traded away their better players:  Betts, Garlett, Waite, Gibbs, Robinson, Touey, Henderson and I'm sure there are others.   It was very deliberate to get picks for SOS to take to the draft so they now have a bunch of talented kids who are suffering.

    Tyson would take a lot of the load off Cripps.  He would be really good for them.  I have to say I really admire Cripps.  Reportedly he is playing with a number of injuries.  He is playing so well that he is regularly BOG and second on the Coaches vote table.

    In my first ever game of under 12s,  I only got one kick. 

    It slewed off the side of my boot and through for a point to the opposition.

    SOS offered you a contract yet?

    Brizzy win would be huge for us.

    Only 9 down at the half.  Let’s what belief the6 have built up.  Anyone gong to tag Mitchell?  Or is his huge DT score at half time, high possession but not effective one?

    Brizzy have drafted very well the last few years, They have some serious talent and  are developing their kids nicely.

    Basically the total opposite of Carlton.

    Fagan has a good steady approach to improving teams, helped us in the late 90s, then moved to hawks and nor Brissie.  A very long apprenticeship to get where is at Brisbane,

    That’s what happens when you hit the draft and not GWS Scrapheap

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
