Great to see

I hope someone is looking after our oral and now visual history.

Every player from the 2021 premiership side should have their story of the day recorded plus the coaches of course. Like archives they can restrict their publication for say ten years but imagine a detailed interview with Norm Smith and Ron from 1964... not to mention a follow up in 1966

 

I loved this. Great idea for a series. Look forward to the next eps.

How lucky are we to have this man as our captain. The best captain in the AFL hands down.
Not just a genuine superstar, but the most empathetic, down to earth, relatable and likable character in the game. You would just love to play with him and for him.

I’d love this. Especially grand final day video recordings of the bench and coaches box. Lock it away for a decade or two (or three) and release it in full. Would be incredible to see how the whole process works whilst watching the game. 

Wow.  That was just so well done.  We are so fortunate to have had these two as captains and of course as players.  

That was a strange - video listening to a recount of an injury. I get the focus was mindset but still it was strange to talk about that specific moment and not something else that the average joe can relate to.

On the day Kozzi signs on, another stunning example of our ‘culture’. Authentic and brilliant from Max and Garry.


Okay, in 2021 the players were isolated and in a bubble and they managed to win the big one.  They did it. They all deserved it, the players, the footy department. A few lucky supporters got over there to see it happen.

The plan for the following year was that the players wanted to do it again back at the G for their family, friends and fans back home. Admirable, but for various reasons, did not manage to pull it off.

Change in plans. Forget the fans. Big Max wants to do it for his dad and family. I want the players to see this clip and to do it for Max. What an incredible inspirational leader.  With the right mindset they can beat anyone.

Everyone else will just come along for the ride. All aboard!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
