We actually look quite polished with the ball. Saints butcher it quite a bit but their pace and pressure hurts us behind the ball.

Ratten is coaching very well atm with a squad missing a lot of best 22 players.

I think we have looked better with Jackson in the ruck.

Side note: Langdon is definitely a superior wingman to Hill and cost half the price. We nailed that trade!

What is great, is that the young guns are showing the way. With a legitimate tall in the 50, we could be very good.

Kossie, Sparrow, Dogga, JJ, Rivers - keep it up boys!

We looked better with Jackson in the ruck. Perhaps the unpredictability of that allows our mids to get on their bike a bit. Lots more movement in the middle there.

Bound to happen at some point. Munted body with a few knee recons, carrying the team for so long. Frail body, great tap ruckman and we need to start adjusting to that. Jackson good in ruck as a harder body. Best we start bullding some flexibility and diversity in ruck role.

Whats the point ?

12 to 5 frres against us.

Fair shake of the sauce bottle.

I just want consistency.

12 to 5 and we are winning.

 

??????????

Amazing the umps put the whistle away in the first 15 minutes. That’s okay if they stay consistent but no by second quarter they are picking frees out of their [censored], mostly to the Saints. Again we are own worst enemy with our goal kicking, should be 2 goals up at least. I am a great fan of Fritsch but if you can’t kick a goal from 30m on a 30 degree angle I think we have to look at alternatives once we have our big forwards available.

Keep two forwards in our forward half at all times, we win this game.

First half of that second quarter we had no one one forward of 50 and it killed us.

Viney getting caught with the ball was not his fault. He literally had nothing to go to.

Would be hard to tell on TV.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
