Analysis of the Demon’s Forward Line
I thought our forward line looked structurally so much better with Petty and JVR in it. I have thought for some time that unfortunately BBB has had his time. For mine, I would bring Tomlinson and TMac back next week, drop BBB and somehow find the space for Tomlinson and Kossie.

Whatever happened to the dissent rule?

Neither can Collingwood generally. I think to beat them you have to attack hard.

If there is one player in the league, I would like to add to our team, and I know it’s not going to happen, but it would be Shai Bolton.

Our midfield was beaten badly - they simply didn’t handle the greasy ball - but they NEVER capitulate.

Vice captain
Maybe they should name Kossie. That might appeal to him.

Clayton Oliver 150th Game
He played an average game for him -ie by other standards, exceptional- until the restart when he was clearly IMV the catalyst. As my username suggests, I love his play and have since Rd 1 2016: first game, 2 Brownlow votes. He is unbelievable. Congratulations and please, 150 more, as good as these!

I always understood that the game stopped when the umpire blows his whistle - not when the siren sounds. Big surprise to see the AFL back the decision- they have such a great track record for calling mistakes out fearlessly (irony)

We should be able to murder both these teams.

COACHES VOTES: Rd 01 2023
Clarry: 33 touches, 7 tackles, 8 clearances. 2 votes. It shows how much everyone takes what he does for granted.

Tom McDonald Sent for Scans
Surely Fritta (if he really is ready) replaces Pickett. Which means JVR might get his chance. But the main hope is that it’s all a storm in a teacup. But foot injuries…. It makes me shudder. I think of Jack Viney who took years to get right, and then Jack Trengove and Aaron VDB who didn’t.

Whatever happened to the dissent rule? Thry certainly don’t apply it to Geelong!

Sure, Collingwood are looking good, but also Geelong are showing their age – at last!

Gee, I’d have Bolton at Melbourne anytime. Normally I don’t care about players from other clubs but he is sensational.

The 3 best & worst off-field things associated with football
Good: The pies are a lot better than 40 years ago. So are the toilets. Enjoying Melbourne wins much more frequently than for the last 40+ years. Bad: Much as we love Robbo, “entertainment” at quarter time. The half time summary that you can never hear but which tells you only the obvious anyway. Grand Final halftime entertainment.

Moore over Clarry???!!!!??? They have to be joking. For a start, it helps if you are regularly available to play.
