LOL. Who on earth is that TC?

Think itโ€™s the beautiful Hedy Lamar, movie actress who interestingly was a brilliant scientist and who invented frequency hopping technology, which led to WiFi and GPS tracking.

Veronica Lake? Just a guess Hollywood Starlets are not my special topic for Hard Quiz.

EL JEFFO CANTINA Another 5 goals after 5 last week, well well well.

Yes, but he needs to be able to bring that with him if he gets a game with the seniors; I donโ€™t know what it is, nerves, lack of aggression or what, but he does seem to fold at the top level. And letโ€™s not forget that as good as five goals is, the first three were pretty much gifts.

Definitely is her. That's a still from her naughty 1933 movie Ecstasy I think. Doubtless it was banned here. It's on the internet archive https://archive.org/details/ecstasy-1933.hedy-lamarr

I think the main problem last time he was in the As was a broken hand??

Correct, then Goodwin and brains trust played him on zero form and he played accordingly. The last 3 weeks he has been building and 10 goals 2 pionts in last two games means his form is white hot!

These are all positive comments and show the breadth of performance that coaches are looking at. There's an obvious development trend there so good. I assume the negatives or areas to improve are also examined with as much analysis and feedback given to the individuals.

there are some extremely good comments which indicate where the experience is being acknowledged and how this can eb an example for the newer players, building confidence and ability.

This photo-image accompanying the reviews is terrific. Facial expressions of the players surrounding coach Taylor Whitford is classic. Absolutely reeks of team buy in.

@binman was Brad Greens letters to Members to be regular, irregular or regularly irregular? Agree members communication is generally poor.

That was also one of my beefโ€™s last year SONS but I now feel that we have gone from a media famine to a media feast, I am having trouble keeping up with our MFC website with all the information coming through. Not sure who is in charge but they deserve a big pat on the back.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, itโ€™s no coincidence. Iโ€™ll be mirroring the Demonsโ€™ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbellย with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprenticeย Will Verrallย who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
