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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
