Was extremely confident pre match against Cats,  quite confident against Hawks. 

Started this week more hoping than anything but my tune has changed. It's a massive challenge but I think we'll win. All the talk is about the addition of Darling and JK. Problem for them is the ball is less likely to get to them with the addition of Viney. He is playing like a man possessed since returning from injury.

Then there is our belief. The team now exudes it,  and I reckon the supporters are feeling it for the first time in half a century. 

It's our time.

 

Perfect mirror of my thoughts this week. You must be a smart bloke ?

Not having a go at you but his play is much more influential than just the stats he gets. For a start he is a hard match up. He is quick, can jump and take a good mark, tackles well and can kick. If you watch closely he, Spargo and Melksham will often be the front and centre players for when the ball gets spoiled. He is part of the reason we are unpredictable in our fwd line.

There is without a doubt a gulf between his best and worst, but I think we can carry his worst, knowing what his better and best provides.  Which is why I said I would continue to play him, even if his stats don't show the extra work he does.

Like the last 2 weeks - no nerves. Will be different if it's a 1 point game with 5 minutes to go.

I wasn't nervous.  Unless they kicked another to get it to 6 points

very little comment anywhere on the impact of no gaff, especially considering the addition of viney

He didn't play in the last game.

yeah, i know, but there were lots of wc stats being quoted covering the whole season (most including gaff who was in brownlow form), including some with/without certain other players 

anway, all the better for our midfield stats

And the eagles fan was shamed in perth because he never cried after his beloved team was beaten by the demons.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
