Melksham and mcdonald letting us down

Well some absolute cracker jack stuff i've managed to pull out here.  Keeping in mind i take responsibility for none of these choices other than (maybe) the Wolf Blass yellow label during a moment of weakness?

1.  The renowned well aged 2017 "Frame Story" shiraz.   It at least states "wine of Australia" on the front so i'm reasonably confident it isn't an assassination attempt from the CCP or Kim il Jong.  Regardless i feel i could still end up 6 foot under cracking this one.

2.  A 2016 De Bertoli Siiraz - Grenache.  A tad more confident but still in it's infancy.

3.  A 2013 Wolf Blass Grey Label Shiraz.   Passable?

4.  A 2010 Wolf Blass Yellow Label.  As above?

Over to you!

Try the Grey label and throw the rest out!

If , however, we blow this lead, drink the lot

    Our tackling is a bit soft. Need to improve that. McDonald is trash.

    Fritsch is there to kick goals because he doesn't do much else

    Great start outside of the kicking for goal.  We have been all over them and look the better side.

    One thing that has been good is our efficiency inside 50.  We have looked dangerous every time it had gone in there.

    Tom Mcdonald is a nice kid but he's finished as an AFL player. Jones likewise.

    Go away McDonald and Jones, they are either not fit or passed it

    Why he keeps picking them I do not Know

    Tmac is poison at the moment, what's up with him?

    We gotta clean up these fumbles and Hollywood handballs.

    Big chance here. Just need to believe we can polish off our work and not be wimps in front of goal as always.

     

    Tmac is not afl standard. Has the turning circle of the Queen Mary and is avoiding contact

    Should be 5 goals plus.

    Sounding like a broken record but T Mac. Just wow. His clumsiness is so costly..

    We will probably regret that last 6 minutes

     

    We were all over them up to then

    Embarrassing to watch McDonald play. He moves in slow motion. It’s just so frustrating. 
    Melksham another player who is only getting a game coz he’s besties with Goodwin. Hannan gets dropped for doing about as much as Melksham every week.

    His play on the forward flank after Pickett booted the ball forward was cringeworthy.  He actually beat Moore to the ball and just put one hand out, as if he didn't want the contact.  He could have taken possession and made something of it.  It was terribly soft and reflective of where he is at as a footballer.

    Dunn probably upset about the sleeveless.

    Nowhere to stash the Winnie blues.

    We should be further in front. Really should have kicked 4 or 5 goals, Fritsch should have nailed his and the one where TMac had a snap we should have found a goal too.

    vandenBerg has already turned it over two or three times.

    TMac genuinely looks done.

    Petracca's having a poor game so far.

    Oliver dominant, Brayshaw playing well, defence holding up pretty well.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
