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.

Is that 410 pages of pictures?

If so, i'm keen

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/

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.

For those that are considering the ebook - but unsure of the writing style...

Great read.
And I agree.

Someone declared today at work that we won't win another one for 50yrs.
I told 'em we'll win the next 3.

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
