Perfect 10 for May in coaches votes
Can a Steven May win a perfect 220 in 2021?

Can a full back win the brownlow?
As much chance as us going 22-0, which is probably what it would take for him to poll 25-30. But then Petracca would end up with 40!

Farewell Oscar McDonald
I can't be bothered digging up a 2019 post, but I do recall making a joke that we should throw Omac forward and watch as he turns into Wayne Carey, turning our season around and carrying us to a flag. Goody did it a year later for a quarter wasn't it? Anyway, it was fantastic seeing Oscar perform well last night.

PREGAME: Rd 01 vs Fremantle
Has he been invited to Goody's Sunday roast with the Melkshams?

GENERATION NEXT 2021 with Troy Chaplin
There was a moment where he burst away from the pack to receive a handball from the congestion on the boundary wing, he ran and kicked it to half forward. If he can do that often, it's just what we need.

What they're saying down at Cockburn Central

Mark Maclure "Soft Culture" Comments
Rohan Connolly also called us mentally soft and predicted, alongside Finey, a 13 or 14th finish. Can't say I blame the lack of trust. Although that far down triggered some blood boil! Comparatively putting EFC above us and StKilda in 3rd (Finey) was laughable biased of them. This was on Footyology podcast, which i think is one of the best shows out there.

Rating the coach against his peers
On a wintery Melbourne Friday night in 1999, Fremantle ran out onto the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the 11th time, still seeking its first win at the home of football. Sitting on the bottom of the AFL ladder with just one win after nine rounds, the visitors faced up to 12th placed Melbourne. When all was said and done, Fremantle walked away with a historic first win and a goals record that stands to this day. Former Adelaide star Tony Modra, who had joined the club at the start of the season, was unstoppable, booting 10 goals in the 54-point victory. Freo ruckman Daniel Bandy dominated the stoppages, easily accounting for Melbourne big man and former teammate Jeff White. Stephen O'Reilly, Andrew Shipp and Clive Waterhouse were also very good, while future Freo star Jeff Farmer was one of the only Demons to compete strongly. But this night belonged to the flamboyant Modra. Five goals in a blistering 15-minute burst in the second term was enough to see his opponent Jamie Shanahan benched early in the second quarter in the Demon’s 150th game. Fremantle coach Damian Drum was relieved to notch win number two for the season. "They will be able to wake up in the morning and feel like decent human beings," he said. FREMANTLE 6.4 12.7 18.10 22.12 (144) MELBOURNE 3.5 6.6 9.8 13.12 (90) ?♂️

Winger, winger, chicken dinner?!
Imagine thinking one of our VFL level depth was a safer gamble than paying Isaac Smith his 3rd year of a contract while he sat on the sidelines dying of old age. Glad the club made a serious move to get him, but echo sentiments of other comments, it's a contradiction to then say we'll rely on what we already have in-house.

Tomlinson, but with Spargo riding on his shoulders giving him directions

POSTGAME: Practice Match vs Bulldogs
Bit harsh. We're a bottom 6-10 club ? Agree about returning players, we're still going to lose these games when the inevitable small window of lapsed concentration hands victory to our opposition, however well we might play, applying ourselves for 2 to 3 quarters.

POSTGAME: Practice Match vs Bulldogs
Slam it on the boot and hope for the best. The Bulldog player got a hand on the shorts to be fair, but still, the kicking motion was never about anything other than territory. Thought we were attempting to get past this type of footy. Harmes needs to read the memo if he's going to play in the midfield this year. There's only so much rolling my eyes can take.

TEAM SELECTION: Practice Match vs Bulldogs
I can see that happening. But just seeing Jones, Baker/Tmac & ANB for a half forward line in our last hit before the season begins, is not very encouraging. All 4 players are pretty close to not even being on an AFL list. Can't do much about injuries i suppose.

TEAM SELECTION: Practice Match vs Bulldogs
A half forward line of Jones/Baker/ANB has the stench of a premiership written all over it
