Windsor's 1 percenters are incredible for a first year player. If he doesn't win the rising star, there's something wrong with our game. (I.e. there's something wrong with our game)

How could you go past our national treasures, The Cosmic Psychos. Macca could wear his best stubbies and crocs. They could sing what is really the TRUE national anthem. The rider might kill the AFL finances. I watched them down 5 beers each in a 25 minute set at bigsound one year. Name another song you've ever heard that talks about chips, sauce and beetroot.

The AFL is a political organisation in the entertainment business. We have a core set of viewers who'll tune in anyway. How do we get more viewers who wouldn't normally watch? Let's get a famous American artist who's on the slide who'll be a bit cheaper. Paul Kelly, Mark Seymour, Mick Thomas, King Stingray, Amyl and the Sniffers, The Chats. The grand final in Perth under lockdown put on a cracking mix of Australian music. Best pre match entertainment I can remember. Nope, has to be a yank.

But you can guarantee a media piece about "how tough and brave" the players are and her mind is blown.

Is there more joy for the re-signing of Petty or Windsor
Brownie replied to Engorged Onion's topic in Melbourne Demons
Windsor for mine, he has some real Robbie Flower about him. Pace, skill and for a first year player, a real calmness about how he handles pressure and traffic. Yes we need talls, and yes May is great but starting to slow down a little and we need Petty to replace him. However, even if he went back into defence, I'm not confident about his confidence and fitness yet. The game is getting faster, we need more fast outside players along with some talls. Windsor is going to be an absolute gun and it's best we wrap him up now. A stellar debut season. -
He copped a lovely punch to the back of the head at one point directly in front of goal. Dropped the mark for some strange reason and deemed a fair contest, play on. JVR was not holding much a few months ago and now he's clunking them. Disco seems to be at least getting into the right position at the moment. He's improving for sure.
-
Yep, that's the bit that did my head in most. Ok. You go in with a plan and strategy but if they're pulling so many cheap goals over the back, by quarter time you have to adjust. There seemed to be no change in our tactics and setup until it was all too late. Again! Thrashed in the same way by the same team in under 2 months. C'mon FD do your job. This doesn't let the players off the hook but geez, if you're playing a high press game and you're watching them waltz it out everytime. It must be crushing trying to stick to a method that is obviously not working.
-
Yep, I gotcha. We seem to be quite amazing at coming up with a strategy and sticking with it ALL game even when it's clearly not working. 10 mins left and there's still loose Freo players everywhere in their f50 It's that same old question mark about our lack of flexibility and adapting mid game if something is not working.
-
Which is all cool if we're winning the stoppages......
-
His pack marking is just coming on so well
-
How on earth did we select a mature age AFL forward who can not kick a goal from 35m out?
-
Just before that. He jogged after his opponent, Pearce as he made a contest in the centre. He just stopped and watched him. Fritsch drives me mad with his laziness and lack of aggression and work rate. I'm sure he'll pick up some cheapies at the end when the game is done.
-
Yep, 3 to 1 I reckon. Compare that to Freos forward entries.
-
The Selwood duck is well and truly back over the last fortnight
-
He's applying no pressure and just looks stuffed
-
Send Petty back, TMac into ruck and JVR has to stay forward. Gotta try something
-
The ump should just hand the ball to Darcy for centre bounces.
-
Today..... There appears to be no such thing.
-
To two Freo players? No-one was in our f50 Where's the run from his team mates. He had to go backwards
-
Turner punched fair in the back of the head. Play on
-
Langdon playing well. Great tackle
-
We really miss not having JVR as a full time forward. Fantastic pressure by the dockers so far.
-
Got the feeling the backs may have a busy day
-
Is that Goody giving him a bake at quarter time?,😁
-
That was a great little video and it was really good to see Clarry enjoying himself. I'm of the view that we don't have to wait until next year to see the best of him. Slowly but surely his tank is building and he's starting to have an influence in games. I don't see any reason why he can't be having a big impact in the next few weeks as the fight for a good finals berth is on the table. He looked really relaxed and happy in the rooms after last week's win. We need him to get back to at least 80 percent of his best this year and I reckon he can do it.
