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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
