    Don't underestimate how hard someone can try if it REALLY matters to them, and I think this may mean more to Grundy than anyone else. (Of course Max is much better normally)

    We should try to expose his lack of marking ability. He'll get completely outmarked by Gawn and Schache hopefully.

    Play it hard, fast and with an ounce of mongrel brutality, guys, as a stamp of respect to Gus.

     

    I just realised I'm yet to renew my membershp. Oh well I'll do it soon.

    I just believe the start of the season has come around. 

    Looking foward tonight to see what we can do and what our new players can show. 

    Hope Oliver goes well and Viney just gets in there and does what he does best.

    At home on the tele with a glass of brandy and some fine cheese and smoked salmon. I like to play up the stereotype on occasion :)

    On the couch with my mate Covid. Isolating out of “an abundance of caution”. 
    Last time I watched a game by myself was the GF I think. Go Dee’s, do us proud.

    yeah reckon i’ll head to the globe. 


    Seriously, aside from the ridiculous opening round baloney, how good is it that we get the opening bounce of the year?

    JUST IMAGINE

    Ball is bounced - Maxxy towers over Grundy to tap it straight to Clarry who, almost immediately, handballs it to Trac who kicks it to a running ANB, who spears a pass straight into Fritter's open arms - and he slots it for our first goal of the year with that trusty left foot.

    Mind you, Jack was in the thick of it, making sure nobody got within a mile of Trac. Does he (fairly) take out a few guys en route to our score? I dunno, you tell me.

    Home ground is the only significant factor they have to model. Unless they are mathing media BS, no exposed form orherwise.

    Yes, home ground advantage is the main reason my model is predicting Sydney. My model, and all the other Squiggle models, carry over team ratings from the prior season. My model has Melbourne rated higher, but the home advantage to Sydney is greater.

    Big leadership hole for the Swans. Previous abs current captain out. No Buddy to rely on

    We need to lock down Blakey, I wonder who takes him?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
