Viney:  "Apparently there is going to be the biggest fireworks display going on at half-time as well, so it will be pretty spectacular.”

That should be fun to witness from close range.

    Whilst most pundits agree we are the best side in the competition it is counted by many alluding to us becoming complacent, drinking bathwater, arrogant etc as if it’s a reality.

    Whilst we're on Jack, he was the guest on the recent Gus and Gawny podcast. He revealed that he approached Goody and Richo before the GF, and asked if it was okay to line up a Dogs player at the opening bounce, and accept whatever suspension. Goody and Richo said no. He still cleaned up Macrae, and didn't cop a suspension.

    Good I’m glad they said no. We don’t need that sort of thing tainting our club or our win. 
    Winning fairly is much better. We beat the Dogs because we played better for longer and had the internal fortitude to fight back when we were down. We didn’t need to hurt anyone to get the job done. We were good enough.

    I'm expecting some fireworks after half time. The kind that makes a bang-bang-bang sound.

    Does Viney want one flag and then go back to weekly 10+ goal hidings? Like hell he does. He wants to stay on top and exact years-long revenge. Similar May.

    With guys like that in the team, I can't see complacency setting in.

    Tomlinson an offensive rebounding defender? Do these guys actually watch football? Tomlinson was very much a lockdown defender who was rarely given licence to be too offensive.

    Viney's demeanor is quite different to Libba's.  Jack sounds and looks confident Libba much less so.  Not sure if that is Libba's usual media demeanor or video editing. 

    If the teams play like those leaders present my confidence of a win has gone up.

    Listening to Gus and Gawny, Jack is in for a very big year. 

    Unlike the last 4-5 years, his foot is in great shape, he has barely missed a training session and has become an elite runner. 

    Scary!

    …….

    For me now, Libba’s usual demeanour is him, time and time and time again, chasing Melbourne players out of the centre square moments before we kick a goal.

    Agreed.  He dropped his head a few times when he tried to chase during our late 3 qtr blitz.

    What is being reported of the Bulldogs looks like a flat team.  Not sure if they are foxing and will come out like a tornado or are not physically or mentally ready.  They have a few key players out injured, some underdone, Hunter's form, Smith troubles with police in Queensland.  Not an ideal off-season.  They will build into the season but tomorrow night will be telling.

    I think the scary thing is that the players are in the 2nd season of development with Mark Williams who does not believe that players ages are irrelevant and constant improvement of players like Oliver, Petracca, Brayshaw, Neal-Bullen, Pickett, Jackson, Langdon, Rivers, Bowey, Sparrow, Jordan, Salem, Spargo, Fritsch, Petty, Lever, Harmes, Tomlinson, Hunt, Dunstan, Weideman, J Smith and Viney will be the catalyst for a good season.

    The player mentioned are either in their prime or on the cusp of prime, we have 6 players over 30 which is a bonus some just turned 30 like May, Melksham and Gawn with the oldest player in the club being Hibberd at 32.

    We have players like Laurie, Rosman, Howes, Woewodin, McVee, Van Rooyen, Turner, Moniz-Wakefield and D Smith who are in the 1st or 2nd year and have not played much football in the last 2 years and may become AFL footballers.

    The team last year played 1 player who was recruited in 2020 so we were not depended on 1st year recruits to make up the bottom 6 players in the team.

    The only problem I see if the injury gods stay away the team will perform well, hopefully if we get injuries it will not be to the core players and not very long.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
