As much as it pains me, Frost has been good. Frawley very good in first qtr.

Yes I have noticed that. It may not last but so far he has taken a clutch mark and run thru the lines and passed off to nearby player which is what he was doing with us but we don’t need that. But is that partly because we spent so many first round tickets on May and Lever? And then we have issues with turning Smith into a back and let’s face it Weideman should be developed into a kPB if we want to keep him.

Someone tell me 

Who does Chris Scott look like with the face fuzz?

Was thinking Tyrion Lannister.

Frost has done a couple of good things but gave away 2 goals so overall I’d say an average game

This game is the first one I've enjoyed this season...

There have been the skill errors you would expect with the lack of prep but they are prepared to play footy.

Last night was an abomination.

Agree. Rich-Coll was a dead end. Dullest game in a long time. This is much better, especially because the poos and wees are going down...down...down. Cop that Jeff!

I wonder how long Burgoyne is going to get for the sling tackle. 

Pity he will probably go for that, but Selwood and Ablett will get away with staging......

So safe to say we can put a line through Hawthorn. 

Midfield too small and too slow.

The master coach went in with a tall defence and got cut up by their medium/small forwards.

McEvoy isn't a CHB...

On the good bloke, champion of the game, ball player, didn't know he got rid of the ball rule he will get $1,500.

If it was Harmes or another of ours , he would get at least a week. Probably 2.

The staging is pathetic, I didn’t see Selwood’s tonight but Dangerfield’s deserves a week. Toss.

Selwood antagonised an opponent on the boundary line with an arm around the neck after he had been beaten. He then collapsed like he was shot when given a light jumper tap in retaliation. Not the first time I have seen this from him.

Rubbish game full of staging, 14mtr passes allowed, holding ball not paid, and revenge free kicks against Burgoine. Like always Cats get away with murder for deliberate out of bounds calls and anything else they can appeal for to disrupt the opposition and then back into the game. It is so predictable and pathetic of drop kick Umpire who cannot bounce or apparently stop players from pirouetting with the ball.

    MORE FIERCE by Meggs

    We’re back!  Winning the last three matches has recaptured our Demon spirit and, with superstar players returning from rehab, our Season 2024 dreams are not over yet.   So come along 5.05 pm Saturday afternoon to watch this Round 9 ladder-defining match at the Field of Dreams. Expect the Tigers to be fierce, but surely the Demons will be more fierce. Playing conditions are expected to be a dry 15 degrees with a typically gusty Cranbourne wind. The media opprobrium of the ill-consi

    IN FRONT by Meggs

    In this must-win clash between Melbourne 11th on the ladder and St Kilda 8th, it was the Demons who were in front all day to win in a hard-fought Round 8 clash to make it three in a row to keep theit slim finals chances alive. A good crowd of enthusiastic footy families for week 2 of Pride Round had gathered.  The full pews in the well-appointed RSEA Park grandstand provided excellent viewing.   The Saints won the toss and elected to kick to the southern end favoured by a strong 2-3 g

    THE TRADING CHRONICLES 02

    Part 2: Watching grass grow by Whispering Jack Critics of test cricket (and I’m not one of them) will often claim the sport is excruciatingly boring: that following a five day match is much like watching grass grow. However, the longest form of that game has nothing on the first week of the AFL trade period when it comes to inducing sleep among those in the football public who follows this process in its somnolent moments. The week gone by has been no exception. Only two player trades

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Meggs

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised
