I miss the days prior to 1996 when games like this one weren’t televised and you’d get the 90 seconds highlights package on channel 7’s Sports World the next day. We’d be spared the embarrassment

Nah. Fair effort. Took it on and kicked to an empty goal square. He took it on. Can't hold that against him.

I wouldn’t be too sure of that. I tuned into last night’s game expecting Collingwood to kick a cricket score against Essendon and they struggled to shake them off until after three quarter time.

Him & Viney had a very compromised pre-season (only 3 weeks).  Let's see how they both come out in the first 6 rounds in 2020.

Lever has been dogged today and not in a good way.  Another handball over the head Lucifer's longjohns!

Tough to watch. How did our ball movement and skills get to be so bad. 

Im so focused on how often we f up that’s its easy to forget the scores are level. I expect that small mercy to be removed early  in the third.

What about drinking bourbon straight from the bottle at 3.30 in the afternoon?

Haha yep has a ring to it Trig.  Especially in the deep of winter!

Melk & Fritschreig our only two who have shown natural forward instincts/craft and finishing skills this season along with Lewis when played there.  Good to have those two up forward again.  Working well together also so far.

Melk one of the rare players for us who works hard to position himself front and square (on the move) for the crumb.

Both are always on the move as well.

Gee Wags, JKH, ANB, Stretch and Spargs are all very easily brushed aside.   Need some strengthening, big pre-seasons await.   No sure how many with Dees in 2020.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
