As Iā€™ve tried to explain to CrankyPants (above) I couldnā€™t fully understand some of what the boys were saying. One can only say ā€œPardon, what was that?ā€ so many times before it gets annoying.

Ā I actually googled Hermanā€™s Bay while with them and something about the NT popped up. I assumed I had the right name.

SO SHOOT ME FFS šŸ™„Ā 

fair enough, wcw

but i don't think there are many bays anywhere near the alice

    Firstly, I couldnā€™t understand some of what the boys were saying and vice versa. I heard Hermanā€™s Bay.

    Secondly, Iā€™ve not had the pleasure of going to Alice since I canā€™t afford to so should be forgiven for not knowing every single NT town, especially one with a population of only 500.

    Thirdly, it has nothing to do with spelling. Also, donā€™t ever question my spelling. End of story.

    And finally, you read about a group of young indigenous kids visiting from the NT, meeting our players, going to our match tomorrow night, and my misunderstanding of their townā€™s name is all you got from it???

    Youā€™re beyond cranky.Ā 

    They are the Ntaria footy club

    Hermannsburg may be the colonies name.

    Difference between Narm and Melbourne.Ā 

    I know what place I would call where the people are from. As is written on the uniforms they are wearing, Ntaria.

    Hermannsburg is also renowned as being the birthplace of Albert Namatjira.

    Prefer to call the place by it's indigenous name, Ntaria.

    You are right, Namatjira clan area.

    The Todd River in Alice Springs generally doesn't have water. The suburb in Melbourne called Bayswater is nowhere near the coast. The army has its base on the coastline in Darwin while the navy in the same city is situated inland. And red heads are called Bluey. That's what I like about Australia - all sorts of things can be the opposite of obvious.Ā Ā

    The nameĀ BayswaterĀ isĀ a derivation of Bayards Watering Place, which was first recorded in 1380. The area was largely rural and isolated until the 1830s, when road development and residential building were initiated aroundĀ Hyde Park. Areas farther to the north and west were developed soon afterward.

    I'm just leaning on a lamp post, there's a kind of hush and something tells me I'm into something good.

    Hope you like your coffee black because there's no milk today.

    No-one in rehab this morning, a Captain's run, 26 players.

    Laurie, Tomlinson, Tholstrup, Chandler, Woey, and Kossie are out there.

    Rehabbers are out now. Marty, McAdam, Melky, Bowey, Sestan.

    As a guess for in and outs, I would say, out Laurie, Tomlinson, and Woey as they were mainly in the yellow vest in the structural sims.

    Tholstrup was doing plenty off the half-forward.Ā 

    Chandler was running hard, giving the knee a test, no problems.Ā 

    There are group, maybe 20, from the area around Alice Springs (Ntaria). One of them will toss the coin at the game. The indigenous players all made some time for them. All in the MFC colours of their own club. The MFC also handed them some scarves.

    Ollie Sestan was not named on the injury list.Ā 

    Mystery injury of the week?

    Yes a bit like Moniz prior to Choco's update info.

    Wasn't exactly that mobile today so something's afoot it seems.

    He was doing full work with the MFC Casey Squad (no tackling) after the run with the rehabbers, he had some strapping on his left shoulder.

    Ā 

    Around the paddock today were signs indicating that the area had recently been sprayed with 'chemicals'. When, what, where and to what extent was not stated. Just, warning signs at various gates. There were no signs on it Sunday.

    I hope the MFC was told it was OK to use the field.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.Ā  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.Ā  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.Ā  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.Ā

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
