We don't give up.  When the Swans piled on goals in the last, we still fought on and snagged a couple back.  Since start of last year i don't think we have been monstered in any game (except for Essendon early in the season... even then we pulled a few goals back).

defense held up very well except when the ball came in on the deck and slippery.

sydney are a top 4 side IMHO (or close to) and we wont be the only ones who get beaten up there.

collingwood lost




 

this was the best outcome of the round 😀 ... and we are ahead of them on the ladder!

Let me drop off something on your behalf when I'm there in June and bring back you some vodka in July (not if you're doing dry-July though 😁).

Never mind the vodka, Lex. But maybe you could drop these off for me…

I think your spot on about Sydney.

I think they are very good team.

They knocked us out us in 22 and have drafted very well since.

We beat them up there last year with a much better fwd line with milkshake in great form.

Our fwd line is totally missing and selection wasn't great.

We just need a couple of talls back and several of our known players to lift.

 

Missed another key ingredient.

They have an excellent coach in Longmire. Performs well over a long period. Apart from the beginners error in 2022 gf playing injured Sam Reid that is.

Envious on that aspect

Verrall not listed on the injury list. Not in full training Monday, must be just a little soreness.

Also no mention of Spargo, must be managing his calf/achilles.

I have got bets on for Clarrie and Trac for Brownlow, Dees for Premiers, JvR for Coleman and Windsor for Rising Star. Looking good I reckon…………..

……..  To alleviate any concerns my max bet is $10 and I only bet on Dee players and games.

Yes good point D17. 

I was surprised how their depleted midfield performed.

Looking on the upside as bad as we played in patches we were in front at the 3 quarter mark and could have taken the chocolates.

Thank you, DZ. But because they live in Poland I’ll not be able to hold the little bundle of joy probs until mid next year when they visit Aus. All good though, meantime I’ll be spoiling and fawning from afar. 😅

My son and his partner aren’t into footy at all. But of course they know how much I adore our beloved Dees. Last night I told them I’m gonna buy MFC and DA membership for the yet-to-be-born little one. My son’s reply…

Funny [censored]-er, isn’t he. 🙄 

This presents a strong case for a new rule (and the AFL loves those). Cheer Squad member/grandmother rule.

I took that to mean available to be selected to play at any level. Reckon he'll get a game or two at Casey first, build up the match fitness. But I'm just guessing

Can't help but love Jakey Melksham. What an ultimate professional he is!

Here’s some positive news: this Sunday there’ll be a sea of these behind the goals…

We’ll put a splash of red on them and will wear them while banner-raising as well as for the entire match. (31 degrees on Sunday so we’ll likely need paint-scrapers to unstick our hair from our heads 😅)

Unlike the Carlton cheer squad, (who looked amazing in their Blues Brothers suits), we don’t have to fork out $165 per person to look great. 😁

Also unlike the Carlton cheer squad, in the event of a loss, we won’t look silly, which is how they would’ve looked had they lost. Because our accessory isn’t for S&Gs, it’s part of the celebration of the career of a much-loved champion, it could never look silly.

And in case anyone’s wondering… HELL YES we’ll be wearing them again on KB.

I got a full refund from Uber Eats after waiting an eternity for my food to be delivered from the restaurant to my door, as my food was stone cold.
 

Thought it was a winner. 
 

As a result of that complaint, at the slightest delay to getting a delivery person, my orders get cancelled.

 

Now, I'm not so lazy and get off my [censored] and buy the same food for much cheaper direct from the restaurant 


The Morale to this story, swings and roundabouts.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
