I think this is the most glaring example of the club/coach/captain’s stubbornness I’ve ever seen.

Grundy rendered Gawn almost useless from the very first bounce and we had absolutely nothing up our sleeve to rectify it.

 

I do. When the guy keeps running across the line to wrestle you and block your jump, jump early with knees up and it won't happen again. I was screaming that at the TV all game, but no one heard me.

Practice your skills. Agreed !!  
 

5 1/2 months to work in execution of skills.


Still no movement or forward line craft aside from Fritsch.

Midfield bombs into forward 50. 

At least it’s only round zero 🤣🤣

Grundy was in front of him well before he could legally jump, smart coaching from the Swans

If Grundy can run around into Max's area, Max can jump.

Even if he went early and gave away a free, it wouldn't happen again.

I was waiting for Max to counter by meeting Grundy half way. But a lot of the time he allowed it to happen. Surely you’re allowed to bump a player that’s trying to block your run at a centre bounce?

I dunno, has to be incentive for the rucks going for the ball over just blocking, especially at the centre bounce.

Yes indeed - I've just had a look at his stats. I wonder if my skewed view of his game was influenced by some good work he did in front of me. I was seated in the forward pocket. Plus the fact I've had a man-crush on him since he arrived at the club.

I've always thought he is one of our elite players.

He has dramatically dropped in form since last year.

Viney - the umpires friend

Not that I’m complaining but there might be a bit of through to that.

In round 24 last year Gulden played a near perfect 40 possession 2 goal game and yet Viney got the 3 votes.

I reckon Viney will poll extremely well in the Brownlow this year provided we tick the wins over.

…could’ve run around into Grundy’s area. A bit Marx Brothers, but would have been better.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
