POSTGAME: Rd 23 vs Geelong
There is nothing more than I love seeing than Petracca bring tagged. He just sits back at centre bounces and lets the best opposition deensive player stand back with him, Oliver can beat the rest of them by himself.

POSTGAME: Rd 23 vs Geelong
I think we have been happy to concede shallow clearances all year as long as they are rushed clearances. May and Lever generally mark it and repel. Selwood and Dangerfield had a 15 minute burst and we were destroyed. They both got centre clearances where they got deeper F50!entries. It helps on shorter grounds. We won't fall for that again.

POSTGAME: Rd 23 vs Geelong
My young daughter who has number 6 on her jumper can't understand why people ask if it was for Jordan Lewis. She responds back in disgust it's for daisy. I don't think people understand yet what an impact she has had and is having on this club When the inaugural women's draft happened she said she wouldn't play unless it was for Melbourne. It reminded me of the famous clip of Norm Smith saying he is Melbourne and won't go anywhere else.

I assume you are talking about Daisy Pierce and not DaisyThomas? She is a gun and breath of fresh air in the over crowded commentary circles. Someone worth listening to.

Ways to get to Adelaide
Who knows. I'm not trying to turn this political either. Just joking about trying to ride a horse across the border like that bloke

Ways to get to Adelaide
You should just ride a horse like this bloke did today in a NSW protest

How I feel about other supporters who want to jump on our journey
I can understand the sentiment. I went week in and week out when we got thumped every week. When you are down and out out and get txts from people hanging [censored] on you. They won't be coming to my party. There are lots of mates that sympathized with me over that period. They are welcome on the bandwagon and are jumping on.

@Supermercado I cannot wait to read your Demonblog post when it comes out. You could be up for a record number of views this week.

Sacred terminology
I don't like being called the Melbourne Demons. We are Melbourne, the dees or the demons. Combining the city / suburb and team name is an NRL thing that a largely Sydney base media fail to recognise is not traditionally what happens in VFL / AFL. Sydney Roosters, Melbourne Storm are what they are reffered to in NRL but it has crept into AFL reporting and I can't stand it.

Who wins over the next month?
I'm betting on the side that has had a season with a player who took the most intercept marks ever during the season and another player who had the most contested possessions ever in a season. Two pretty vital stats in the modern game. Go Dees!

2021 ABC Footballer of the Year - Clayton Oliver
If Clarry wins the norm smith this year I beg to differ. I loved Robbie as does every other Melbourne supporter ever. This is not a knock on him.

Top of the table
It was like watching Brad Green and Cameron Bruce snatch that final off Carlton from know here. Clayton Oliver is the best player in the game and big Maxy is the best captain.

Oliver: The Forgotten Superstar?
Could get the 10 coaches votes tonight. Should win it.

What they're saying down at Moorabool Street (in an alternative universe)
Max the umpires pet. Now I've seen it all. I can't work out what half the rucking decisions that go against him are for. Neither can he.

GAMEDAY: Rd 23 vs Geelong
Was there going to be? I'm unsure. But with regional Vic going into lockdown again in just under an hour their definitely won't be now.
-
Oliver: The Forgotten Superstar?
I only knew mate cause of a link you sent a few weeks ago saying Oliver needed 21 votes in the last 3 weeks to get the most coaches votes ever. So I've been following it closely. He's not going to get most ever but hopefully he wins it.
-
Oliver: The Forgotten Superstar?
Are you sure Oliver leads by 3? I didn't think they published the last two rounds? I don't think Clarry would have polled very highly against Adelaide.

Road to the Draft Podcast - Jason Taylor
I love father son picks but not for Collingwood. JT rates Daicos. They will take him. JT doesn't get much wrong.

What would you do for the club if we won the flag?
Bare my bum on Bourke street

Getting the jab
I was a little bit sceptical on the Covid vacines because of the way they were rushed out. I'm no anti vaxer both myself and daughter have had all the appropriate vaccines. Today I had my first Pfizer shot. No side effects. I didn't even feel it go in to be honest. Let's all do it to get the state and country up and running again. My biggest motivation was Melbourne might be in the GF this year. Who knows what will happen between now and then but I'm not missing because I haven't had a jab.

Majak Daw off-the-ball incident
Amazingly I've got a cousin who played with Majak. I've also got another cousin who was in the same friends circle as Toby Green. You should come to our Christmas parties! From what I understand Majak is a ripping bloke.Toby might need to work on that a bit.

Jake Bowey Rising Star #2
The worst thing about this nomination is it ruins his odds for next year.
