Iāve heard the āheās cookedā about so many players who have then moved clubs and regained past form. To be honest above all Iād take Jackson. I reckon a mobile, strong marking ruck who can play forward would be ideal. Itās also a magnificent story and an up yours to Freo. Itās a win win win. Who doesnāt love a win win win?

Time to go Goody?
I just look at how May moves and think heās getting less and less mobility. Perhaps he can continue to improve his mobility as full fitness returns. Time will tell. The Jackson trade really hangs on one thing, does he want to come bad enough. If he does then a deal will likely get done.

We're Not Dead Yet - The 2025 Season
Hawthorn and GWS are the 2 teams I see us moving above on the ladder. Fremantle are the other side weāre competing with. Adelaide are also no guarantees to keep winning and our game against them should be a belter. Our current form looks as good as anyoneās and Iāll just keep saying it, If we remain injury free, keep improving incrementally then we could easily go deep in September. Donāt anyone underestimate just how good Gawn, Petracca, Oliver and Viney can be when all in form, which it appears they are and also improving. I keep thinking in terms of the next 3-4 matches and their importance. In reality itās just StKilda that matter. Win that, dust off and go again.

Time to go Goody?
Iām hoping Sinnema is the next smooth moving, good kick who can become best 22 in his first season. If thatās the case then itās really only May who will likely need replacing, although maybe heāll keep improving his movement and go again next year. We have the luxury atm of very few injuries and if AMW can continue to improve heās another asset. I like your confidence of a returning Jackson and Iād take him back in a heartbeat, 2 future firsts would be unders I think so we may need to find a way to grease that wheel.

Well Iāve just got back from the beach and the reports are continuing to achieve standards not seen before in afl circles. I donāt want to pat myself on the back as Iām yet to do a report but I will anyway.

Ball Movement 2025
How good are those 5-6 quick handballs to find space, often all whilst weāre moving the ball forward. Absolutely elite football. Langdon often amongst it as is Chandler, Bowey(whoās also an elite kick), Langford, Lindsay, McVee, Pickett and Windsor starting to get more form. Thatās a lot of seriously good young talent who by the looks of it are loving life at the MFC. Weāve cone along way in a short time.

PREGAME: Rd 12 vs St. Kilda
If we roll the Saints and then beat the Pies weāll be 7-6 and the absolute in form side of the comp alongside GC. Why wouldnāt we make finals from there considering thereās every chance weāll only be % outside the 8?
-
PREGAME: Rd 12 vs St. Kilda
Whilst I agree itās a danger game, all games are danger games when winning is essential. For mine, to make finals, we need to win 6 of the next 8. That sets us up for a real tilt. For me finals mean little if we donāt make an impact. Anything less than a Prelim is still a waste for me.

Give Salem a rest and play him??

Totally agree, not to mention just playing at the MCG, he must pinch himself nightly.

POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs Sydney
Iām not a huge stats guy but all the important stats have us comfortably in the top handful of clubs atm. We had Hawthorn on toast bar our kicking for goal and the last 10 mins of the match. We then beat Brisbane at the Gabba playing a relentless pressure game, we literally wore them out. Now weāve completely and utterly dismantled Sydney, could have won by 80 plus points with off the charts pressure, sure theyāre not at their best but rarely do you see a side do that to Sydney. They had no answers, none. Seriously what games are you watching? Weāve been more than impressive the last 3 weeks both in pressure and tactics. Not only that weāve also been improving.

PREGAME: Rd 12 vs St. Kilda
Not as far as you imply and heās missed a lot of football. Who playing at Casey would you say replaces him with an extended run of games? AMW may have been his competition but I simply donāt see a logical replacement for him.

Win this week and then let Kozz loose on the G against the Pies.

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
As someone who oscillated on Oliver, whether to keep or trade, whether he was worth the trouble, whether he would get his A game back, whether he was more trouble than he was worth, even whether the club should keep investing in him. I look at his game yesterday and think what an incredible job he, Goodwin and the club has done to get that performance from him. Watching and listening to the crowd after he kicked that goal and came off have me goosebumps. The club and Oliver have been kicked from pillar to post for 18 months and has stuck fat. Brad Green deserves some respect for that. It feels like weāve galvanised, no mention of culture, no overt displays, just hard freaking work and honesty. Obviously winning makes these posts easier to write but what Oliver and the club have achieved takes a lot of hard work from a lot of people, all working in the same direction. Pretty solid effort and one that Goodwin deserves a lot of credit for. Oh and I think weāve found our social media photoā¦..team post match in the locker room!

POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs Sydney
What AJ does is he plays forward and can ruck, bar JVR heās our only true ruck support on offer. Heās also very happy to throw his body into any pack, scrap on hands and knees and heās selfless. Thereās a world of refinement needed. Heās years away and some serious work from holding down a permanent spot in our side. His kicking for goal alone screams of a guy who knows heās miles off the level. He's a fill in and he plays that role really well imo. Currently Iād have him in this role ahead of anyone playing at Casey. Until JVR finds form Iād play him.
-
PREGAME: Rd 12 vs St. Kilda
In Viney Out Spargo I see AJ as a stop gap until JVR finds form. In no world do I drop him and play TMac forward. Turner is a defender and heās becoming a very good one. Petty had a solid negating game on a seriously good defender. All well atm, Saints wonāt be easy and if we donāt bring the effortā¦.. There is a world where our form is so strong we steamroll through our next 6-7 games.

PREGAME: Rd 11 vs Sydney
I note though that JVR took 13 marks, surely that is a good start in his road to finding form? Jefferson kicked 5 which Iāll also take as a positive. For me if they can just keep getting their hands on the ball itāll help their confidence, hereās hoping anyway.
