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.

Umpire #22. Lovely. He's horrible.

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…

  • 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.
