Sometimes I wonder why Sparrow gets selected.

Today is one of them.

His play on decision after marking at CHF, then panicking and trying to thread a pass but coughing it up.... Ughh!

Kozzy still flying for mark of the century.  Can someone in the team ask him to pls stop and go get front & square more often.  It's called "Doing the Team thing"!

Our forwards STILL aren't working hard enough presenting on the lead.

Aside from one Billings kick to Viney i can't recall any other decent connect coming inside 50.

Marty was fab that quarter.

BB was decent!

Windsor's running & work rate impressive.  Tracc & Clarry same.  Their disposal though....bah

Fritta & Kozzy note.... how Viney used up every second of the clock before taking his set shot.  Pls remember to do the same (everyone taking a set shot!)

he is pretty important to the midfield rotation and making sure our other mids get a rest

When you're in the midfield you still need to do something.

6 disposals for 0 tackles going at 66% is sub par performance off the back of another poor performance last week.

Ridiculously overrated by Melbourne supporters on here.

Love your attitude FD.

That's what life is all about if you ask me. The no self pity attitude.

I hope they get it done for you. Looking good.

Umpiring standard this season leaves a lot to be desired.

We seemed to have taken our foot off their neck in the second halve of the second quarter.

Great effort from Bb and good to see Chin of old.

Kozzie gone cold.

May playing very well.

Hore is back where he belongs.

Jvr totally mia that quarter.

He and Fritta need to get going. Moreso Fritta.

Max atoning for last week.

Viney was quiet that quarter after a blistering start.

 

Chin playing like small forward should why cant picket instead going fo a specky

Using the half time breaks to read more this year.

Currently reading Hymns of the Republic by S.G Gwynne which details the last year of the Civil War. Highly recommend!

I've finally stopped procrastinating and got stuck into Orwell's 'Down and out in Paris and London.' Truly special.

That art of observing reality and presenting it to the reader thoughtfully with only limited judgement of what is being described is sorely missed in our world of 'aggressive reputation management'.

Y'know, Orwell did some sports reporting for the papers, back in his day.

I've still never read 1984. That might have to be next!

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. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    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
