POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
What a game. We played with dash and dare, but our defensive pressure over the whole ground was immense. We seem to have fixed our forward entries, we just need to work on our finishing. So pleased for Tommo and Salem and Gawn are really building. Jeez, i would love to see McVee deliver into the forward line more often.

Kings Birthday Sold Out
Bullet VPN came recommended on here. I have just got back from 6 weeks in SEA. The first week it worked fine with Kayo. The second week it blocked the three Kayo servers they use and I missed the last quarter of the Suns game. In the end I gave up and found sports bars to watch the game, in whatever city i was in. I would not recommend Bullet. This will be my first game since we played the Swans, so I am pumped. I just hope we wipe the arrogant smirks off their feral supporters faces.

JvR Free!!!
Great news indeed. What I find bizarre is this comment from Andrew Dillon. i mean dude, what clarity do you need? You write the rules FFS. AFL chief executive elect Andrew Dillon said the tribunalâs top priority was âthe health and safety of the playersâ, but admitted van Rooyenâs hearing would offer more clarity on what was acceptable when spoiling. âI think what is helpful, if we run the process through, tonight will give us more clarity on that going forward,â Dillon said.

Best Melbourne 22 Seen In Your Time
Agreed, it was a tough decision. The way I looked at it was, would I find a place in the side for the players from different eraâs? That said, there is no guarantee that players from other eras would excel in the modern game, with the exception of Robbie perhaps.

Best Melbourne 22 Seen In Your Time
I was in two minds about Ingerson, he was a great player. As I was doing my list I realised, that in my time, I have never seen a truly great CHB.

Suburban AFL map
My parents weren't really into the footy, Dad nominally followed the Hawks and Mum was a Dee's fan, due to her Dad being a keen Melbourne supporter. I think at about 4 years of age I found a North Melbourne medallion at school, and I loved the Kangaroo symbol, and declared myself a North supporter. i proudly showed my Grampa, who i think was mortified. My older brother had chosen Richmond, and my sister had sold her soul to Hawthorn. I reckon my Grampa sensed he wouldn't have a grandchild who followed the Dee's, so on my next birthday my present was a Melbourne jumper, and that began my journey as a Demon. All my siblings kids (except for my older brothers kids) received a red and blue jumper for their 1st birthday, so I am continuing a long tradition.

Kozzy Pickett Re-Signs for 4 Years
I have often wondered how much the lockdowns in Melbourne affected some of the younger players. Kozzy, Riv and LJ all came over just before we went into endless lockdown, and never really got to see what Melbourne was like pre-pandemic. At that age it is peak social life, but they missed it all.

POSTGAME: Rd 02 vs Brisbane
i agree with you on most points, but the it feels like our team structure is built around having two ruckman in the side. Take one man out of it and we go to water. I reckon Schache might get a look in next week if he plays well. The real worry for me is that we don't have someone waiting in the wings to take on the ruck duties when Gawn and Grundy retire. Verrall and Farris-White are speculative at best.

VOTES: Rd 02 vs Brisbane
6 - Lever 5 - BBB 4 - Grundy (he has copped a fair but on here, but we would have been humiliated if he wasn't playing) 3 - Oliver 2 - Hunter 1 - Fritsch Oliver and Hunter really only in the votes because of their last quarter efforts. Oliver was the spark in the last 12 minutes. I recall someone saying earlier in the week that Oliver wasn't a game changer, his efforts when they came back on after the blackout put to bed that argument.
