For anyone visiting Adelaide for the weekend I can recommend Morphettville races tomorrow. Race 1 is midday. you can usually sneak in for free. 

the Schnitzels are as big and hard as a frisbee. i enjoyed it so much, it came up constantly for the rest of the day

    It's been so bloody cold  here  DD the shiraz was freezing.

    The world can be cruel sometimes Uncle

    I'm cracking an Angostura 7 year rum tonight which survived a duty free stampede at Port Vila.  Some weren't so lucky and saw their stash get smashed on the way out!  The lengths ppl will go to for cheap booze.  Of course i just happened to be passing by and errr... well.

    Regardless i will raise my first glass to the restoration of all things good at the Manor, a speedy recovery to my old mum (who's recovering from a bout of the dreaded lurgy at the old Freemasons) and a win for our Mighty Demons.

    i dspute this

    north, meth coke were easy kills, and they snuck over the line vs the other three

    footscray win the best of that lot and from memory it was their key forwards - two of whom are missing this evening - that were particularly damaging

    I hear you.

    But from that batch, we have both beaten North and WC. So that evens out.

    But they have beaten the Bombers (who smashed us) and the Saints who were travelling very well at that point (a narrow loss to the Pies and a win over the blues in the preceding two games). A sneaky win or not, a win is a win, and Port won all of those games. 

    As I said, I believe we win, and we should win, but I hope we don't fly in on a false sense of confidence much like last year, which cost us dearly. If we treat Port with respect tonight, keep the pressure up and everyone is accountable, we win well and keep the season humming along :-)

    Have a look at time in centre bounces and time on ground for Trac, Clarry and Viney this year versus last year. All are under 80% from memory this year. 
    And Trac is playing way more time forward than ever before. 
    Against the Hawks after half time I saw a centre bounce of JJ, Gus and Kosi. Name one time that happened last year. Not even when we were 10-0. 

    Correct.  It also resulted in a neutral outcome even though the Hawks won the tap.  Not bad!

    The other somewhat out-of-the-norm set ups (vs 2022) included...

    Tracc, Sparrow & Gus

    Viney, Sparrow & Gus

    Clarry, Kozzy & Sparrow x 3

    Viney, Gus & Jordon

    I have the outcomes on these but won't bore you with the details

    In a crossover from the puppy thread, I'm led to believe that the pooch on the left is named "Yartapuulti".

    No longer a regular beer drinker myself but Coopers Sparkling Ale and Original Pale Ale are surely two of the better beers available on the mainland. Or were?

    In a chilled glass of course...

    Classic. Well done

    You'd think, given their lack of forward line, that they should struggle to kick a score. But given we aren't great defending ground balls inside 50, Dixon and Marshall out may not be an issue for them

     

    There were some dark clouds but dry since about 3pm.  BOM indicates it’s unlikely to rain

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
