Currently 8 deg in Alice, feels like 6 deg, but it has stopped raining. No wind, so conditions are perfect for footy now. Only question is how wet the ground will be after several days of persistent drizzle.

It's not as cold and wet as yesterday.

    On the round ball theme, if it’s wet this afternoon I’m hoping the Demons kick it off the ground a little more and handball a little less!

    In wet weather conditions there ought never be a link of more than 2 handball...ideally just one...to a moving player or one in the clear...  then a kick..  wash/spin/repeat.  Keep ball moving.

     

    “Clearly in the last four or five weeks, we need to be better,” Goodwin said last week. “We’re not connecting as well as we should. And we’re not probably taking our goalkicking efficiency to the level that we need to be.

     

    Hope this doesn't trigger some people here......

    Agree with all of that.

    The Bowey part especially but Goodwin appears glued to ANB which was the move that shouldve been made ie;  Bowey for ANB

    Woe for Jordan

    Melk as sub

    Bowey does not have the tank to play nibbler's role.

    Just about noone else does. Not yet.

    I find it so perplexing why people still callfor nibbler to be dropped.

    I mean, for one thing, he plays a very specific role, one tmac had said is the HARDEST role in football (his words, not mine), that there isn't an immediate replacement for.

    And leaving that aside, he has been selected in the ones for almost every game for two and half season.

    He has played something like 58 of our last 60 games for pete's sake. And that includes a premiership.

    Is there another player who can boast that record?

    Goody is a premiership coach, with a 58% win record.

    The idea that nibbler being one of the first picked and a best 22 lock is somehow related to goody having favorites, being stubborn or irrationally 'glued' to nibbler is an insult to goody.

    I mean c'mon, goody is the business of winning flags. If he didn't think nibbler helps us achieve that goal he's not in the side. Simple.

    I reckon that might be why Jason Castagna retired early. It's a very demanding role.

    Melksham the ideal sub.

    Agreed. Perfect high impact in short bursts type player especially in this weather. Also gets him one game closer to F/S eligibility

    We'll agree to disagree Bin

    Bowey certainly has the tank and can play this role plus damage with ball in hand forward of center

    You make a good point that reflects Goody's approach to Max re: bringing in Grundy.

    Max says Goody said,    "....I can get you a 7th AA Ruckman Blazer,  or I can get you to be a 2nd Flag skipper.  Which one do you want...?"

    Goody IMO is looking at how to get a flag and bugger the rest of the noise.

    Salem up the ground isn’t a bad call but I want it to be Rivers instead. I like the idea of Salem staying at half back, we can’t strip all our good kicks out of there. With Bowey, Salem and McVee all in the side maybe this is the week we push Rivers further up. 

    Yeah, I don't mind this either.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
