Just started listening - does @binman phone in? Cannot say I have heard him this year. Clearly that is the main problem with the club. It used to mean an almost certain win.

Spoiler Alert: He did. 

 We won’t lose this week. 

 Although I did have to cut him off because my internet connection was [censored] last night and it just couldn’t handle the 2 cohosts connections let alone 3. 

 If we win a gofundme will be set up to pay @binman to call in each week.

First time I could tune-in live from start to finish last night in a while (my newly cracked screen made it a bit hard to type in the chat room though..). Was good listening, cheers.

Tuned in successfully this morning rather than listen to Robbo last evening. On team selection discussion possible ins V Suns, George on the Outer. Your assertion re: Alex Neal-Bullen quote "is not a forward" does not bear repetition with closer scrutiny. 

ANB is capable of kicking multiple goals. Given the team's dearth of goal kicking contributors and two victories in 12 months of competitive AFL football. His input could be valuable. Mention was made during this week's podcast of the famous 2015 victory at Kardinia Park  without Jesse Hogan. ANB in his third game of AFL seniors kicked three goals. Fast forward to round 2 2020, during the dynamic first quarter and a half against the blues. ANB scored two goals and significantly contributed as the forward line 'architect' in at least one other goal scoring assist. Yes Nibbler has his detractors here, but when he is on song, within the compass of his attributes, he is a worthy contributor.

Have become regular listener(s) to the 'land podcast'. But in the interests of fair public dissemination of information, ideas and opinions please don't make 'concrete' assertions without some semblance of knowledgeable research.

Agree. His first quarter against Carlton this year set us alight. He drilled passes into the chest of several players. Unfortunately like many others went missing for much of the game.  Worthy of a game more than Hunt and Melksham and dare I say Kossie. I think Kossie will be good but atm he is too flashy and I saw some selfish acts on the weekend.

Recall Wiz and Flash had rather nervous early debut seasons too. With further opportunity cream should rise to the top. Did admire his selfless, team orientated foot pass to Bayley Fritsch. To set up a first quarter goal against tiggers.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
