POSTGAME: MS02 vs Hawthorn
He was terrific the year before when playing mainly as a small defender at Casey. That's when I started wondering if Nev's apprentice was ready & waiting for us

POSTGAME: MS02 vs Hawthorn
These two are going to make a massive difference, particularly at home at the G

POSTGAME: MS02 vs Hawthorn
Our setup is still wrong. We push up to high. Geddy Lyon had it right. We need a forward deep at all times to stretch the opposition defensive zone & provide a lead up target

POSTGAME: MS02 vs Hawthorn
He looks to be a quick learner. He adjusted his position at ruck contests & improved by the minute. Was holding his own with Ceglar by the end. Would like to see him occasionally drop back at ball-ups around the ground & use his leap. Got far more involved in general play & had a couple of really nice moments

TEAMS: MS02 vs Hawthorn
Maybe if we were restricted to 22 players but the expanded bench gives us scope. I don't consider Hibberd at 186 cm to be a tall. I'd imagine the other three you mention are gonna be rotated with only 2 on the ground at any one time. The Hawks have named Patton & Lewis in their forward line. The rest are Puopolo & a bunch of Collingwood six-footer types, So the likes of Pig, Nev, Harmes, Lockhart & Hore will get plenty of work

AFLW: Round 4 vs Collingwood
Agree but thought both were better this week. And both created goals from their contest work. Positive signs. Also, Cunningham is often double teamed so we need to get better at identifying & using our resultant "spare"

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARLEY BENNELL
Goodwin mentioned this is a presser over a week ago. The footy media is an absolute cesspool. However, I hope the club forewarned HB that tripe like this is a regular occurrence in the Victorian media & that for every muppet like Brad Hardie in Perth there are 10 of them in Melbourne. All trying to have the loudest voice

GAMEDAY: MS01 vs Adelaide
Not an injury as such. More a medical issue. Picked up some form of infection

He would be the longest of long odds to play tomorrow

AFLW: Rd 2 vs Bulldogs
She is a beast. Plays like a linebacker. Loves putting on a hit. Managed to have herself a Jimmy Stynes moment as well Thought young Eden Zanker really set the tone for tonight's win.

Bugger Credit to KC. Thought their defence was huge in Q4

Players that need a hair cut
Some on here have a seriously weird obsession with other blokes' hair. Short back & sides ? It's not 1962 fellas. Can only assume it's driven by regret at being bereft in the follicle department

Memorable Kickers
Most of mine have been mentioned. Bennett for long shots at goal. Alan Johnson was a fantastic kick. Schwartz was a superb field kick as well as a great set shot. I reckon Johnny Fidge had Ted covered. He could roost it miles but was also good at hitting up a target. Talented lad who underachieved for various reasons. Flash Davey had a great left peg and if big Neita was on, he could slot a goal from 60. Good field kick as well. And of course Robbie - either foot. Old mate Rhino Richards could give it a decent thump as well. Paul Goss didn't play many games for us but he's the last bloke I recall using a drop kick for a set shot at goal. The man on the mark was about 45 out. Forward flank, outer side to the city end goals. And to pinch a line from Tim Lane, he absolutely "bisected the major uprights"

Nuggets' Music Videos
Great, great find SWYL. i found that fascinating. Was cool seeing them "unmasked", just making music in the studio. Kinda fun to hear the mistakes too - your ears are so tuned to how the record sounds that anything out of whack really stands out. I've only dabbled with recording but it;s a bloody unforgiving & often laborious process. Cool seeing Ross Wilson's role as producer.

3rd Worst Team of the Decade
When Jackson came on board one of his first utterances was "you've got to fix the footy first". So he was in agreement with you SWYL. As an aside, were it not for a lack of multiple font sizes and references to "the Northern Stand", I'd swear you've had similar discussions with the same bloke - different name though
