I wonder if the nature of the facility means anyone would be punished for going there....

    Agree 100% Dazz, but also on what I saw of Billings last Friday, he will also become a bargain basement buy with huge upside! T. Mac down back? well on what I saw I would say if thats the case it's all over, unfortunately just too slow.

    Big year for Bill Laurie, a lot of competition for spots and I worry his lack of pace will see him never consolidate a half forward gig and lack of size will hurt him in the middle. But his game against Sydney as the sub was really good, he’s got some real class. Hopefully he can keep impressing on the track.

    Spargs hitting targets as usual and Trac powering through the middle.

    Yep, have been into this since the start. Was showing some excellent form before suspension, then just couldn’t bust back into the fold. Must have been frustrating, and I reckon he’ll want to prove one or two things to his previous employers.

    Agree it's a big year as it is for Woewodin but I can't see Bill making it in the present gameplan. Perhaps if we moved the ball faster and more directly he could be a useful player. Hard to tell

    I can’t believe we pay people for weird trick shots and a fascination with the new kids hair.

    If I was coaching Lachie Hunter and he was kicking the ball from a cone I’d shove it where the sun don’t shine.

    Come on MFC media, give us something interesting.

    Interesting clip in terms of highlighting good and bad kicking technique.

    I cant make out who has the first kick to Trac, but good technique with the ball drop close to his foot and hits a stationary Tracc.

    The last kick is by brown, and again good technique with the ball drop close to his foot and hits a leading Farris White.

    The odd man out is tracc. Ball drop nowhere near his foot. Terrible technique.

    It's actually a nice kick in terms of putting it in space for i think Farell to run onto which keep the ball in motion - a kick that Tracc is good at, in large part because there is bigger margin for error than say spotting up a stationary target or kicking for goal.

    IF we can release Brown and Windsor like that through the middle and off half back. It will change our transition game immensely. Not saying itll happen straight away but having the ball in Brown, Windsor, Spargs and Billings hands going i50 will change our shape in the coming years.

    I think I spotted Chandler in one of the clips the club posted today. Good to see him back on board!

    Since 2020, when Petracca has more than his season average for score involvements

    2020 (more than 6) 5 wins 2 losses

    2021 (more than 8) 11-0

    2022 (more than 8) 10-1

    2023 (more than 8) 8-1

    In a nutshell, if Petracca plays an above average game and turns his possessions into scores we win.  If he kicks well we go into God mode (see end 2021) 

    Of course, one could argue it's the forwards output as much as the kicker but if there's one wish I have for next year is he has an up year in terms of his kicking.  Only Bont and Martin come close (and not even that close) to his importance in converting midfield possession to where it matters.

    I hope he is, he has the skills.  But his 2km time trial showed where he lacks.

    and has been the knock on him the whole time he was at Adelaide.

    big pre-season for him to change that opinion of him.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
