Some players are having bad games. 

Good. It gives them focus to train out those deficiencies in the coming weeks. 

Video to be studied very closely.

He’ll struggle to get a game this year.

I feel like he'll be on the bubble every game, but won't get dropped once injuries start.

Brayshaw probably to the main offender, which is annoying because he is a ball magnet.

Yes, his disposal hasn't been good so far today, but I'll put it down more to it being the first half of real competitive footy for the year than anything else.  His disposal isn't always that flash regardless.

Richmond winning in the air and on the ground. Who is 38 for them? Killing us in the air.

Is number 34 for us Hore?

He has done ok INHO.

Poor disposal from gus, nibbler, JKH and stretch hurt us.

RIchmond spread brilliantly and opened us up. 

I have not seen Dusty up close before. I now see why he is so hard to stop!

Steady on guys. Even Winx gets beaten in barrier trials!

They moved dusty onto the ball that quarter and the whole game changed immediately.

that midfield combo of oliver, brayshaw, and harmes with trac and salem coming in would have to be one of the most exciting group of 21-23 year old mids i've seen

shame gus can't hit a target and trac can't kick a set shot

they're basically full strength, and when they had the centre square combo of martin, cotchin, prestia plus titch edwards coming in they were so much stronger than the group that we had up against em, which at one stage seemed to include stretch and jkh

And for all that, we're on level terms at half time.  Funny that.

Who would have thought that playing two Wagners wouldn’t cancel each other out? 

Petty looks promising. 

Oliver quite possibly could be the GOAT.

I had a feeling that the rotations through the midfield were biting us.

Richmond were doing their flood dump kick attack that quarter.

Weeds seemed to get caught under the ball a few times.

We need that tall option to take the contested marks

FMD!! I'm reading some negative [censored]. It's half time in a [censored] JLT match FFS .Settle down lads.

Bit bitter but optimistic, wouldn't you say?

There wasn't much else to say about the second quarter. Just sucked. Nothing much more you can say. Noones slitting wrists.

IDees very ragged and being belted at ground level. And sorry  to say but Petracca looks slow, overweight and not that interested.

    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

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.
