Neither chompimg nor chanting.  Champing is the word, as you say from horses. (Though I see chomping is gaining currency.)

Correct wait.

Windsor reminds me of Alan Johnson, the loping stride with a bit of a back hunch. 

Correct weight (i love his runs and carry and pass to Darren Bennet in the second vid):

Also that first clip was from the 88 Elimination Final not the Semi Final as stated on the Podcast. We lost to the Eagles in 90 and 91 in Semi Finals at Waverly. Johnson didn't play in the 90s finals series which was his last season.

How good were long handballs. They're a forgotten art of the game. Rarely see them anymore.

I think we are trying to bring them back.

There were couple in the blues game, coincidentally one from trac to Oliver that ended up with Alan Windsor kicking his second.

No need for that Andy

Good comparison Bin.  I reckon the Duke has longer strides, but that’s probably just a sign of the times.


Have to give a shout out to Nibbler for his outstanding performance in this praccy.

Hoping that form relays into similar early season stuff from him.

I also loved the handball from Trac to Clarry to Bullet (Windsor).  Anyone that can get a handball off to a player in the stands 60 meters away, who then whips it 75 meters over the top to a running player for a goal has me very excited indeed! (ty Bin!)

That Julian guy who lives in the Netherlands whose review was read out sounds like an upstanding citizen and all round good guy.

This was before my time. When you were building up to who he reminded you of, I simply thought you were going to say Lachie Whitfield. The player us dees fans have coveted for years, but clearly didn't want to pay the hefty price tag, if he was even ever available.

Thanks for your kind words. Just found out where I can find all the international reviews so I can now give our international fans their shoutouts.

Thanks for listening.

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • 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.
