The best $6 you'll spend on 410 pages of pretty darn good content.

* I have no affiliation - HB Meyers and his crew are just fine writers and far more forensic than other more digestible content.

I just worked out it downloaded to the book thingy on my mac... you can control the font size so its down to 210 pages...anyway what I am enjoying about it is the conjecture early on about our structures and how they were to go for the rest of the season and the  praise given to Goodwin for his tactical acumen.

eg: Referencing the first match against The Dogs.

“THE TACTIC NO ONE WILL TALK ABOUT

This was a really sneaky little move by Simon Goodwin and his coaching crew, and I hope that someone highlights it as part of their TV reviews. If you’ve got the game recorded, you can do it, yourself.

When the Dogs had the footy in their back half and were looking to switch it, I want you to concentrate on the Melbourne player given the responsibility to leave just enough space between him and the next defender in the line to tempt the switch.

That player was Kysaiah Pickett, and with his closing speed, all it took was one slightly wayward kick to create a pressure situation out of what would normally be a standard two kicks across the defensive fifty to open up the game.

Pickett managed to create a bit of havoc, forcing the next defender in the chain to kick hurriedly out of defence, often to a contest and rarely displaying any composure. The rest of the Demon forwards would press up to create congestion across half forward and the middle, leaving Pickett to work back and man the switch.

Poor Taylor Duryea found himself up a particular creek[…]”

“Teams will work out how to successfully bypass the Pickett pressure at half back, but it was something that troubled the Dogs greatly, and with Pickett causing mayhem the Demons down the line knew to play in front to mark the dump kick from the panicked defenders.

A great move by Goodwin - bloody intelligent.”

Cheers for the plug, mate. Really appreciate it.

We do this every year for the premiership team. As you can see from the contents, not every game is covered as I can only feature the content I write personally - this includes the members content, and a couple of extra articles for the year. All other Dees articles can be found on our site.

 

Again, thanks for the support and if you opted to part with your hard-earned, hope it was an enjoyable read. I reckon the finals section provided value for you guys. Cheers - HB

I've not bought an e book before.

What the go - is it best to purchase it on the device you are likely to read it on, or is it transferable? Or is it cloud based? 

I'll buy it fo shaw. The quote in the OP is enough for me to want to read the book

Andy: whispers we are close to re-signing Luke Jackson on a long term contract

binman: yes i heard that. Apparently the sticking point is Luke Jackson is a bit annoyed the club has not respected his wishes to change his name on the contract. I read LJ was overheard saying to Tim Lamb:

LJ: What's my mother [censored] name?

Tim Lamb: Luke Jackson? 

LJ: Wrong! It's Snoop Dogga Dogga

LJ: and, oh little lamb, don't forget the Demonland podcast is having its final 2021 season show tonight at 8:30. Me and the boyz never miss it. The Grand Final review show was next level dope

If you're using an iPhone or iPad the best option is opening it with Apple books.

On a Samsung or android phone, youll need an ereader program - the app readera is pretty good. They're the epub version

I have a kobo reader - works a treat on that, and the kindle/mobi format is... well, it's for kindle. Both files are available on the download. 

 

I've not tried transferring fom mobile device to mobike device, but if I was going to grab an ebook, I'd usually do it on my laptop then transfer to whatever I wanted to read it on. Cheers.

 

Also, allow me to make your life a little easier/cheaper with ebooks. Search for whatever book you like at the following link. Its the cheapest you'll find... as in, it's free :)

My daughter put me onto it. It's ridiculous. https://z-lib.org/

I have a samung Android phone, so will get an e reader program.

I plan to watch the whole season again done week at a time, from this weekend. And will enjoy reading the mogrel punt review of most games. Ta.

Fair warning I'll probably have some reaction!

Oliver was doing the same on Bont in the second half. Not playing shoulder to shoulder but just making sure if Bont went forward that he was close enough to take him on in the air or on the ground.

Great read.
And I agree.

Someone declared today at work that we won't win another one for 50yrs.

Ditto and just spent my $6 ....... does that sound a little awkward?

Bought this and really enjoyed it. I even enjoyed Mrs Mongrel’s GF commentary. I will definitely be following the mongerel punt next season.
