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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
