out for blood @dazzledavey36?

What I love most about supporting Melbourne is the fact that it is the flagship team on both a micro and a macro level of the AFL’s notion of an equal playing field / or ‘any given sunday’. I love that season to season we don’t know what we’re going to get, and even if we’re up 6 goals early in the 4th - the players love to model just how even the competition really is. time to break out the popcorn for a 10 goal loss.

Except he understands the impact of injuries and knows that it wont be an annual occurance I would suggest....
-
nothing to see here... He is an expert at it, and must have done it a lot at school methinks, just to get the kids who paid out on his name.
-
nah, he keeps misreading the flight.... just on that... I have watched only maybe half the games this year on tv - and aside from the 4 kicks that hit a target on the chest lace out per game - and aside from the entries that are actually bombed to a pack - it amazes me how consistently the kicks are 'just' over the arms of the leading player... It feels like those kicks happen so frequently. If those targets were just 15cm lower - i assume our f50 conversion rate would be a lot better than it is... and Weid would be doing quite well. I'm not sure if this is purely a Melbourne FC club thing, or industry wide.

it's almost like all these close matches are scripted or something....

Is it possible for thread be opened about playing in NT without Demonlanders who are still grappling about the concept that we play games up there, not posting about their grievance yet again? Also - the team stay at the Casino. I went 2 years ago and had a great time... IIRC we were down at half time and came back strongly in the second half. I was only up for 2 nights - and if you are there for a short time - make sure you get out to the Alice Springs Desert Park - awesome experience.... and a lovely walk back into Alice itself which is well signposted.

I think he has got better as he had adjusted within the team - what he lacks (and he can build) is penetration on his field kicks... and yes the goal he kicked (I was standing behind those goal posts) was a ripper, I was stoked for hi.

Back in my day, journalists used to write factual information that was sourced from sources with facts about things they knew about. This modern world of journaling, is just opinion pieces to sucker you in to click on it, so your personal data can be sold, mined and whatever else (whatever that means)... Also, I had to walk to school 8 mile with hessian sacks on my feet, in snow, up hill, both there and back to home, where I had to tend to the cows, collect pinecones to put on the fire and listen to Evert Taube on the Gramophone.

Portmanteau? Massaged and cured? methinks not.

Practically speaking, with TMAC done for the season - I assume Preuss goes forward. Does that mean Weid gets the no 1 or no 2 backman? I actually think Weids job will be harder through the lack of TMacs presence. so I for one won’t be judging a poor output too much from him because of this circumstance
-
I agree with the first statement, but of course, that will never be said publicly Secondly - Perhaps they don't (but that might make YOU feel better). They know this all ready and will change things, which in particular looks like personnel, refinement to game plan - which only means in the off season. Winning premierships is a process of refinement

I'd recommend anyone wanting to get a sense of Goodwin, or perhaps doubts his care and passion as demonstrated by how he performs in the media to watch todays press conference. He is succinct, open and acts with humility. Further, he dissects the need to be adaptable considering the ever-changing circumstance of games (no plan b - i hear people scream). It's a good good listen.

Does this mean Dew has 'lost the players'?
