I’m really looking forward to Charlie Spargo continually providing an option as a lead up forward and our players kicking it long down the line to him, in the hope that at a whopping 5’6” he will pluck one against his 6 foot opponent. It’s one of Goodwin’s masterstrokes.

I am also looking forward to see how many quarters ANB will keep his mouth continuously open for. I swear to God, after football is done, he should get a job as one of those clowns tht you put the ping pong ball in the mouth of at Moomba. 

Almost knocked over my cheese platter with that ANB commentry. ?

I agree Deever. Weids is at best a no.2. He doesn’t have the presence to lead the line.

We need to bring in a key forward. It’s our no.1 need. If Hogan is gettable I’d bring him back. Agree options are limited.

I’d worry if we leave Jackson in the forward line with an under-performing Weids alone. He needs to be taking the 3rd best defender. Allow him time to develop. Otherwise he’ll be added to the list of players whose development has been mismanaged by the club.

Just looked at our goal kicking list for 2018.

Its pretty damn good with tmac and hogan kicking around 40 each.

Melk...and Hannan chip in with quite a few( much more than this years average)

Garlett was handy as was anb believe it or not

Fritta and Trac on par.

Our forwards just havent been able to kick many this year.

Possibly. Or there's only so much mileage you can get out of Ed Langdon and Arnott's Shapes.

Nice one PF. The town at the tip of that big point a little to the right of Speyside is where I grew up. 

IMO, play like we did pre-Cairns, we win. Play like we did in Cairns, we will get belted.

No one should be checked out. A win tonight puts us in the 8 (if only for a night).

That is to protect Goodwin - there is no other reason. The media will wish to expose insights into our thoughts (the spectators and supporters) on his coaching record and its transference to onfield success and skilsets.

Very funny

I think we'll win, but (if we do) expect another ugly hard fought game.?

Our blokes have already checked out.

Hmmmm... sitting here in my abode in Europe with a raging hangover from last night. I thought it might be amusing to drink large quantities of grape juice from my latest vineyard find. 
 

a small place in the Rhône valley to the north of Avignon called Domaine Rouge Bleu. They produce a Grenache called Lunatique. Seriously, how could I not consume vast amounts?

It's definitely not dead rubbery Andy and this is what I need to keep telling myself to pull myself out of the rut and snap out of it.

Also dead rubbery was the wrong term probably should have said lame duck game, for us.

How is it a lame duck game though? There's plenty to play for and we can still technically make it.

Why am I watching this? It’s only going to [censored] me off. Again.

Just to reiterate, I did have the words "I know it isn't" in my original post.

I wasn't actually making a debatable point either I was saying what it felt like for me. I'm not going to get into debates over what it feels like everyone else. Sorry but can't be stuffed.

Yes i am having similar pre game issues with this one P-man.  We are extremely hard to watch and any enjoyment is too often short lived

I have been asking myself the same question since 1966, once I was old enough to go to game by myself.  Pity i missed watching from 55-64,   bummer...

cannot see myself changing now !   Go Dees

beautiful part of the world Rab. A friend of mine grew up in Nairn. Mustn’t be too far from where you grew up?

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
