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.

I think you might need to post a couple more times to get your message across.

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!

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
