But it’s different when you’re the grandparent right? Aren’t kids generally well-behaved with grandparents despite being little [censored] at home?

The reason grand parents and grandchildren get on so well is they have a common enemy!

    Quick power workout done and now to swing to the sweet sounds of risk management.

    Petty, we’ve experimented with different set ups but ultimately 2 talls plus Lever works for reasons already discussed on here, and as good as Thommo was two weeks ago, Petty is a gun. I like the look of the fwd line as inexperienced as our two keys talls are (having Grundy / Gawn rotate through the fwd line allows us to do this). There’s a feeling of youth and excitement about it but ultimately what I like is we’re back to being mobile again. We have a great mix of players with Chandler taking his chances and Kosi who is well over due for a big one. Then there’s Fritsch who is possibly one of the most underrated players in the game. (I base this on his inability to get picked in an AA team, a team that I keep telling myself each year I care less about). Out of all of our learnings the quick mobile fwd line is the biggest so far.

    Love you comment on Fritsch. I comfort myself on his 6 goals in a gf and personally was key to saving us in 3rd quarter. Plus he has a medal.

    The AA does suck. Bit like the brownlow. Fairest and best midfielder only.

    Good time Charlie as the sub is what I expected.

    Could be some interesting moves made by Goodwin this evening and it will, of course depend on the circumstances of the game. 

    Petty could play forward or back and will be effective at both ends of the ground as required. 

    Something from left field I would like to see is Smith given a center bounce as an attending mid. might be something that would throw the cats. 

     

    Just made a mercy dash to the Romsey IGA to pick up a couple of "just in case" bottles of Shiraz.

    I couldn't resist a quaffer called "squealing pig " - I figured it might be appropriate to a post game Chris Scott.

    Just listened to Goody on Fox.

    He said Oliver had a bit of hamstring tightness ... and added that ... any other suggestions are incorrect

    So he's not on that Sub.

    Bloody freezing here in Sydney. Will be watching from a warm bed.

    My daughter sent me a text last night. Coldest June day in Sydney in 15 years. I'm part of a Kirribilli Walking Group that meets Thursday mornings at 7. A little bit brisk today 😀

    Sorry, unfortunately my model flipped to Geelong by 1.2 points following team announcements! It will update again once subs are announced.

    @WheeloRatings You're now predicting a 2 point loss. We need to get this game happening before it gets any worse!

    Looks like @binman was on the money. Charlie wasn't dropped. He's just having his load managed. I have mixed feelings. I would love to have seen Taj playing, but wouldn't like to have him debuting as sub.

    Geelong is known for late changes so it could still change again!

    This is a big game. Win and we are a game clear of the pack and well on our way to top 4.

    Lose and we are back with the pack looking over our shoulder each week.

    Form says we should win but we cannot afford to repeat our inaccuracy of the English King's Birthday.

    Dees by 22 !!

    What’s the bet we get smashed by the umpires tonight?

    Well we are 3rd worst for Goals from frees and against and the stat for our frees generally has dropped the last 4-6 games.

    We are also playing at Kitty Litter stadium, dominated by kitty fans, so it is pretty obvious what will happen.

    Mitch Cleary just tweeted that we won tonight’s game by 6 goals and then deleted it two minutes later…

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
