Demonised

Okay, so they've established a precedent. Now, let's watch them apply it erratically, unequally and confoundingly.

Tassie Medal winner, 1961, outstanding player in the interstate carnival.

Watch the Blues dump Voss just before they play us and they'll rally for the new coach, whoever that is.

Fascinating, this. Data, statistics about playing in different conditions. How 'the winter game' Australian...How Australian Rules football adapts to the weather, and...Unless you're playing at Docklands, weather is always a feature of games of AFL. Cody Atkinson and Sean Lawson take a look at how teams adapt to different conditions, who plays better in the wet, a...

Small solace: Carlton's rubbish performance is keeping our poor performance out of the media.

Agreed, repeated practice is the key but it has to be repeated practice with good/restructured technique otherwise you just get good at being bad.

I'm going to sit down and watch the '21 Grand Final.

If he's any good, they'll fix it so we can't get him.

Remember when we drafted him and some grumbled that we took him too high? What a great pick he's turned out to be.

Jeff's slo-mo analysis of the very first bounce shows how ridiculous the Pies' bleating about manhandling of Nick Daicos was. Both Oliver and Petracca are clearly held at the bounce, with Petracca's jumper pulled halfway up his back. Did the Dees get special, revised treatment after half time due to this egregious scragging? Or was it just considered standard operating procedure, nothing to see here?

Demons' supporters can be accused of bias and red/blue tinted specs, but have a look at the reaction of neutral viewers on social media. They're as furious as we are at the umpiring. Of course, maybe there are no neutrals when the pies are playing ...

I hate being the hard luck team.

I get to the ground early and watch as they warm up on the ground. They often have shots for goal and, good lord, there are lots and lots of misses. Just before a game starts, under no pressure, I want to see metronomic goal kicking, 9 out of 10 or better! The pregame goal kicking never fills me with confidence.

Stop spinning the ball in hands as part of your set shop run up. Shorten your run up.

Should be, but will probably continue to be underrated by non-MFC supporting folk.
