Like doing Special Comments on Demonland, for example. No one knows l thought that.

Great Scot! And not so great Scott.

Essendon out of the 8 on the live ladder (just quietly).

The umpire's dodgy ball up with ten seconds on the clock was an utter disgrace.

Wasn't it Whately who memorably extolled Petracca's dribbler in the '21 GF as being "TRULY from the top shelf". He still has credits for that...

Then again, if you were sympathetic to the myopic cartoon character, "Mr.Magoo", it's easy to spot the mix-up...

Essingdon won't bea Geelong at Geelong, and they won't beat Collingwood. There's two.

The umpires don't so much as umpire, as blow the whistle and point left or right. (@17.57, unrewarded Dee taclle).

See that Simon, Ben Brown is our full forward.

ANB ridden into the ground = NFK.

Hand tackling should be banned, inherently dangerous. Not envisaged in rules.

BBB a premiership hero, is one of our top full forwards of the last 60 years. 1. Neitz 2. Bennett 3. Jakovich 4. Dillon 5. Brown 6. Robertson 7. Parke If Melbourne is seriously contending this year the selection committee will need to swallow their pride and get him back in the team.

That is a very good point. At the very least, the intention of the Geelong player is to make heavy contact. So he has responsibility or duty of care for what follows.

Ron Barassi didn't break through as a gun player until a role was invented for him... that being ruck-rover. This suggestion may be howled down etc but why not play Grundy as a mid/ruck-rover? He could tag-team with Gawn then. The competition may never look the same. When one of these players gets tired they could rest in the back pocket, a la Ted Lees.

'Rohan' Connolly, lol... is that his moniker a la Nathan/Gary Lyon?

If you watch the other games on a kayo binge weekend this little melodrama repeats itself holus-bolus. The main problem is the shape of the football. Of course, a good full forward would be helpful.

Stunk up badly at the selection table, anomalies abound. BBB having an excellent start to the season then relegated to Casey, can't get back in despite us having an average forward line. Tomlinson, breakout game v Collingwood... surely "no change" is the applicable team-first messaging. Petty, straight back in, despite the erstwhile practice of easing injured players back ...through Casey. Can't take any of it too seriously when punters preside over selections. Demons, gamble responsibly.

Is that Bernie Massie, left of Don Williams?

I remember in the good-old, bad-old days we had Melbourne - Masters of the MCG and Melbourne Greatest Ever Exponents of Perfection Football displayed across the northern and southern stands in perpetuity. There was a third one l have forgotten.

Amazing that umpire Marais Erasmus did not award a 50 metre penalty against Patrick Cummins for showing obvious dissent in last ball before lunch.

He means ladder position/ home v interstate finals...

Reminiscent of David Neitz's hit on a Hawthorn player, circa 2004.

Their loss record aginst us in finals since pre-war is almost perfect.
