What an amazing turn out!!!

Bad kicking is bad footy, if they could kick straight it’s a contest, but they do work too hard for each goal. Bizarre that after everything gifted to them they’re still years away from contending.

Have we worked out when the pregame starts? 6.30 I saw in an email from the club.

This times 1000!

Looks good Smoker.

Hope you’re on the mend!

You want to see a beautiful game destroyed by officialdom, rules and the lingering threat of liability, go watch a Super Rugby game. 4 of us went last night absolutely pumped for the 2 games in a row we’d see. We had a Pom and Kiwi who know and love the game, we left at half time of the second match just totally deflated. It has become a slow, boring, over officiated snooze fest with constant stoppages for video refs and reviews. The scrums take so long to set… every stoppage just sucks the air out of the game.

Maybe we give it a few games rather than just the one.

At speaking? Footy… he goes ok I guess.

Because that shows him more respect, the potential to sit his bum down on the bench all night besides doing endless run through’s to warm up.

That’s the thing, if he can get on the lead he generally does hold onto the marks. It’s the one on one, body on body contests where he struggles… hhhmmm I wonder if we can bring in another big bloke that might complement that… oh look over yonder it’s a Big Benny Brown!

Check the selections across teams this weekend, Hogan “managed”.

Paywalls for chit papers are annoying.

So are we sure the listed 18 are locked in no matter what (unless a late injury change)? Or has that changed as well?

Brilliant!!!!

They've beaten Crows by 1pt, Lost to Saints by 10, smashed Eagles by 55, easily the Giants by 34 and the Bombers by 48. Very easy draw so far, Blues and Cats the next 2 will show where they're at.

Being fit and being able to make those efforts is different from the buy in and having the courage to actually do it. Those preseason training reports of the boys just doing running work because we were not AFL standard. Hoping in the early rounds to see this preseason effort translate to actual games and being shattered and out of the race by round 3… to where we are now… amazing.

Thanks. The Saints one was brilliant!

Read @Webbercomments re injury reports/management (we’re lucky to have his input)… every person/injury/outcome is different, just roll with it bro.

hahha Salem has a new moniker "425".

When do we blame Selwyn for the injury curse this year?! * *jokes of course

I just brought one of these (looks like the last one on this site, other sites have them). https://ddwsportsco.com.au/new-era-melbourne-demons-corduroy-heritage-the-golfer-snapback-hat/

Have I missed the MFC letting us know the story of this one? Can't wait to read about it, looks interesting.

Yze noted it on the Dland podcast that all Mids have to move forward, not just to the bench, to rest. All the best mids are able to go fwd and hit the scoreboard so you need to as well. So you could assume they're working on improving goal kicking as a skill like we have seen with Maxi.

How was the push by the Cats player in the ruck contest prior to that.. As to the free it surely wasn't a push in the back but it was a free. Hawkins was denied a run at the marking contest.
