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…

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
