So many people question Voss's coaching, but the game plan looks quite good. It is the blues players! They are doing well in the air, at stoppages, around the ground etc... they just can't kick. Their kicking inside forward 50 is so bog ordinary, and the targets they miss when unpressured must totally burn the coaches. 

If Rowbottam, Warner and others would take first option instead of trying to break every tackle or run through 3 players, the Swans would have a lot more F50 entries. Must be annoying for their forwards.

And both Swans & Blues are not good tacklers. So many get broken. 

Could be a great game, and it is not too bad, but unpressured skill level  is ruining it.

Have some beef too to round out the ‘3 B’s’

This shouldn’t be confused with Bug Ben Brown. 
This is ‘Beer Bongs and beef’

I’m struggling to watch other games at the moment. The AFL is doing my head in. Sounds like this game is trash and I’m not missing out on much.

Said this a couple of weeks ago, games just a mess. I’m struggling even getting into our matches.

I'm not sure if it's strictly on topic, but those women in Boney M were really hot.

Not strictly on-topic, Bingers. But very close.

I gave up, it's a pile of garbage.

Surely Franklin must retire at the end of the season? A shadow of his former self.

Other than his kicking Curnow (Charlie) is playing really well.

What's up with Walsh? 

Warner tries to take on the tackler too often. 

Excuse my ramblings.

They’re way more interesting than this match. 
🥱

I flicked over to check the NRL score and even checked the fox cricket channel to see if there was anything on.

Watched the last ever episode of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel instead. 10/10. A must watch and way better for your soul.

A lot of football for no effect. Half back lines are dominating the game. The stats show Carlton kicking at 75% efficiency. Absolute rubbish. Their field kicking is a mess, and the Swans not much better.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
