Roy and HG had a great crack at BT and Bruce last weekend. Their podcasts on ABC listen have been brilliant this year. Took the absolute p.... out of Steele Sidebottom for an hour chec out two fingers of corio episode.

Yep, Jackson's ground work is one of his strengths for a big fella.

The only really big advantage I could see with TMAC on the wing is to change up our one dimensional approach from our kick in. Always went to Gawn last week. Opposition will surely focus on countering this. Could we spread Brisbane thin by running a marking option on both sides of the field? I'd be worried about TMACs lack of pace against Brisbane playing on the wing unless we really felt we were after aerial domination. Fair bit of rain coming through over next few days too. I think TMAC was starting to get some touch back before his injury. Just not sure where he would fit.

Being Melbourne?

My first impression is that he's just out of touch and confidence in a big way. In a dysfunctional team, its harder to get back into form but I think there signs of him getting his hands on the ball more this week and from there hopefully the skills and delivery will come back to his best. There were similar signs with Tmac and Omac. They're playing their way back into form. It's a different year this year and dropping him back to Casey to find touch isn't an option. He'll come back into form and he's one of our best when he is.

We dominated all day and won the free kick count 17 to 16

Trac's kick to Weid in the square was just incredible. A real highlight for me.

Watching $cully get smashed all day was just icing on the cake. Just a great win. Really looking forward to next week to see how we go. A lot of people have downplayed the significance of winning a flag this year. I think if a team like us that are going to be almost perpetually on the road this year can enable it, it would be a great achievement.

Chris Sullivan line is crossed. Well done Tracc. Feet up, Pants off!

I hope wwe get to watch 10 years of this bloke in a Demons jumper. Work rate is just fantastic.

How was that a high tackle by Kossie?

We're going to sleep now.

Gotta get over the Chris Sullivan line. http://demonwiki.org/Round+6+1992

Geez this half time commentary is all about how bad the hawks are. Nothing about our hard running and pressure.

We almost take him for granted that he'll be like this every week. So good.

That kick was insaaaaane

Yep if we ever straighten out our f50 entries.....

Petracca is just a monster

Is that Goody's new game plan?

I really think we generally have the list and talent to be competitive and successful Old Dee. I think we are cr-p because of the dumb footy we have been playing. If we bring the pressure and lower our eyes as well as the coaches being flexible and responsive and willing to adjust against our oppo, we can be right there with the best of them. I think the players saw changes to our game plan last week and responded as they should. Hope we smash the poo and wees!

Yep agree. We have a long tradition of patting ourselves on the back after winning a tough one, getting full of bathwater and getting pantsed in the next game. Great pressure and better delivery last week but we've got to keep improving this week if we're going to match it with teams like the lions.

I haven't read this thread end to end but if it hasn't been mentioned, there was a bloody wonderful doco on the ABC a week or so ago. Really worth a walk in someone else's shoes. You can see how the system is set up to send a family like this into a tail spin. https://iview.abc.net.au/show/in-my-blood-it-runs

It's quite revolting to even see Mcguire on the TV now. Such a culture of denial and cover up at all costs. The quality of commentary matched with interpritative dance by the umps is making the game really hard to watch. I don't even blame the umps, it's the commentators and AFL that drive "this week's focus will be on....." crap. Roy and HG don't call Gil the murderer for nothin.

Well said @binman

Yeah with the pace we have with some of our team, I thought the odd kick to space might mix it up.
