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: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
