Rivers and Lockhart - very good kicks: what we need.

Might only be a scratch match but there are players here clearly trying their hardest to make an impression and impressing they are. 

Some of the ball movement out of defence has been first class and intensity is through the roof.

Fritsch behind from a set shot

 4.12.36 to 3.2.20

I could go back to 2019 match reports and copy and paste about 500 comments asking. Why Isn't goal kicking coached and practiced at training?

Good forward pressure and tackle by Bedford. Reward for effort with the set shot Goal.

Rivers kick a few minutes ago out of the back 50 was a beauty. Allowed us to open up the whole ground and transition quickly  for a shot on goal. Hope to see him in the seniors this year.

Isn’t Lewis our goal kicking coach?

WHAT THE HELL IS STAFFORD DOING?

How is a former ruckman the goal kicking coach? On researching this he kicked 141 goals 66 behinds during his career, so he did spend some time forward. FWIW, I played a lot of my amateur football as a ruckman and take offense that stereotype us as poor kicks. Having said that, if you had Matthew Lloyd or Greg Stafford as your two options........

Loving our transitions but by golly, Gus looks rusty!

He looks a fair way off teh pace, which is ok, Swallow looks better than him. It may take a while for Gus to get going. He wouldnt be on the plane to Perth in my team at the moment, looks like he needs block of games.

 whoever the Casey boys are they’re doing alright. 

Either you're a prophet, or the stream is on a delay...!

I think the best thing to come out of this game is that it looks like we have depth, more so than ever. Its exciting.

Thinking about a pint or two at Hardemans after this if anyone is keen. 
Meet a few of you desperado’s.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    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

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne
