  1. Demons implementing the "Kick it to Aliir" gameplan at all costs, as expected.
  2. Trac going at 0 percent efficiency. Killing us early.
  3. There are many great things that come out of that article, but one I want to touch on is this one: The only good thing to come out of Essendon in a very long time. Thanks Hirdy.
  4. It's great. It's breathable and everything. I suspect there'll be a terraforming operation there in no time.
  5. GWS have a totally undeserved "They're unbeatable" reputation about them. They are eminently beatable, especially when they're away.
  6. The "Jack Watt's moves to Port and still fails to play finals" story is a possibility, and would be pretty sad for him.
  7. Port has just stopped here and it's not even 3qt…
  8. Jack Watts is finding a role at Port as a defensive player today on Hurn. I still reckon he's nowhere near what he was doing for us c. QB last year, but at least he's giving Port some value.
  9. Injury watch: Lycett and Vardey not doing great. Max Gawn would be licking his lips.
  10. I'm loving the choice of a defensive forward tag on McGovern from Ken Hinkley. We should do likewise with a Pedersen or even a Fritch (someone with good marking power but also good running endurance).
  11. Sure it does; it's in the definition. MFCSS n., "Whatever can go wrong for the Melbourne Football Club, will go wrong (guaranteed)."
  12. Goody sighting at Adelaide Oval. He must be liking what he's seeing right now.
  13. Once agin I say…just answering a question.
  14. Pretty clear early that James Harmes has to go to Elliot Yeo next week.
  15. I'm aboard the "Top 2" bandwagon. I was just answering a question.
  16. West Coast are looking like not much chop so far without their key players Gaff Kennedy and NicNat. We're a massive chance over there next week.
  17. A quick ladder predictor says yes. We can make it with 12 wins as long as Sydney and Geelong only win 1 (Sydney can win 2 if you include the game against us).
  18. Geelong has played 6 games this year decided by 2 goals or less. They've lost 4 of them and won 2. Any guess who the 2 they've won were played against?
  19. Makes us have to win 2
  20. I look at Derm a bit differently. He's like an alien species that you just know you could learn from if only you could decipher his cryptic language.
  21. They've been a good club for 40 years. At a certain point it's not luck.
  22. If Jack Riewoldt is kicking bags against you, it's because there's zero pressure up the ground.
  23. Reason 1: He's a good like-for-like with Smith, which minimises disruption to existing (winning) team structure Reason 2: Gawn might be a bit sore, which means he's in-game insurance Reason 3: We might want to throw him forward to stretch the Swans in offense Reason 4: Who knows? Neither of us…but probably Goodwin does
  24. He's played defence in the VFL for months. Obviously you know better than the coaches on that point. I like him because he's a very flexible player, which gives us plenty of options through the ruck, backline, and up forward. Gawn and McDonald, complemented by Pedersen, makes for a very flexible ruck/back/forward array of options. But I may be wrong about why he's in. Pedersen may just be the best like-for-like replacement for the injured Smith. We'll see on Sunday. Not much more to say about it.
  25. Well Pedo's the team regardless, so I guess we'll see who's right by Sunday afternoon. Smith has a broken collarbone, so I'd back Pedersen to beat him for pace at this stage. With Gawn possibly not as mobile this week, we need a mobile tall who can ruck if needed. Who's better for that than Pedo?
