How about this addition?

Seriously with the last three premiers being dark to very dark horses as well as Collingwoods appearance in the GF that was in no ones dreams, predictions for this season are a waste of time and a lottery at best.

When you look at how we're viewed overall, and not in isolation, I think it's a fair reflection of our capability and the expectation on us as a club.  With the list we have, and if we generally stay healthy, then we should be pushing for a flag.  

The fact that Malthouse has left us out of the eight is further proof of our credentials.

Malthouse and Slobbo must drink together.

Just the same I'm sticking up for Robbo's big Call:

 

Brendan Gale to take over AFL

Can't happen too soon and he will be the best AFL leader since Sir Kenneth Luke.(yes I know that was VFL but the guy was a visionary).

Correct call, but history tells us most years 2 to 3 teams drop out and are replaced by new contenders and most of the serious pundits have adopted this approach.  Only Malthouse has the Dees as a dropout - a huge plus for the team IMO.

His opinion is meaningless - however I am curious to what his beef is re: Melbourne? .... or what credentials he fails to see...?

Mick Malthouse the only one to leave us out of the finals...  imagine being 80 years old and trying to be edgy.

Its true too, if take into account what he said to Milney when they almost started throwing hands several years back.

As long as Robert Walls doesn’t tip us for the flag 

Malthouse ... ? I though it was about who you actually think (as opposed to who you want) to win the flag

I haven’t seen us this highly rated since 2007!

That sentence just frightens the carp out of me.

I am amazed but also not at the consistent MFC for premiers but it really is blind following the following the blind in footy media. Think its a year too early for us to be the expected victor but we will certainly give it a shake. I reckon Malthouse forgot us or I would love to hear/see his justification as to how we go backwards after he thought we would play finals in 2018.

He’s entitled to his opinion, and he may be proved right. Only time will tell, as the cliche goes.

However, I have heard him describe the events of 19 September 1964, when he cried all the way back on the drive to Ballarat from seeing his Magpies pipped by the MFC in the Granny. Could be a clue.

I like the sound of that: Ballarat was a much longer drive in them dark days as well. 


Hype or not I simply cannot remember a time in my 40 years of life that we have been spoken about like this. 

Big Call: Mick Malthouse hates Melbourne and is horribly biased 

actually wait, thats just plain obvious. 

all aboard the dees train!

Any Yeast found in his kit bag,  to roll into his doe ?    Somethin has to make it rise ?

 

Poor boy... should have been a swimmer,  instead.

Looks like his headed for the chop, soon enough,  IMV.

W.H.Face,  maybe one day he could get into Manpower Australia.  If he discovers the Gymnasium.

Despite the hype, I’d just love to see us hold our own (top 4) until Lever comes back in! To stop the sieve of our backbone last year, and then rocket forward! ?

Noticed in The Age article on Carlisle that Lever and May are both elite (Top 2 Lever, top 10-15 May) for intercept marks and intercept possessions. 

Given Mays new and Lever has been injured for the second half of last year, it’s a major injection of additional talent into our back 6 when both fit, in form and coordinating.

Surprised at the general absence of Sydney and Hawthorn.  I counted 7 who did not include either yet the same folk included North.  Goodness me!! 

With all the woe befalling the Saints I wouldn't be surprised if they make a mad dash for the wooden spoon!.

Not suprised by Sydney and particular Hawthorn - they are stuffed.  I'm not thinking North have what it takes, but it's hard to work out who makes it instead:

1.Essendon 

2. Perhaps Port;

3. I'd like it if the Lyons had a crack.

 

I don't like David King but I like his call about the new kick-in rule.

I have a sneaking suspicion clubs will refrain from taking shots from angles or from too far out for fear of the damage the opposition will do from a kick-in.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
