Sideshow Bob

Well footy was enjoyable again for a little while. A couple of those early misses go through and the gap might have been just a bit m7ch for the crows to will themselves back into it. JVR taking grabs, Pickett being super dangerous, Melky in best form of career. Absolute signs of life

Vote 1 - Knuckles McVee. Came in with zero expectations and has smashed it out of the park since. Cane see him being a Nick Maxwell type captain - backline focussed, team focussed, someone internally respected that isn't a 'star', not the best player on the list but someone absolutely 100% dependable.

Listening to John Longmire being interviewed on unfiltered on chanel 7. So So So different to the corporate rhetoric we get from Goody. The game will better if anyone (including us) get him back into a coaches box. Like Goody he seems relationship focussed but has an honest country lad feel about it. A big yes from me to chase him!

Travis Cloke improved his goal kicking by training, training and training - working on ball drop, routine and added simulated crowd noise - using headphones. He worked with sport psychologists and became a better gial kicker. Cloke feeling the noise - https://www.afl.com.au/news/112202 There are many aspects to set shot routine - head space, heart rate, fatigue, routine, ball drop and kicking action. Perceived pressure and external noise from crowd wind direction. It really is an artform - to get right more often than not requires practice practice and more practice in all areas of the f50 in all conditions, simulating all of the above factors. I would welcome any of the greats to come down and help work with the guys who take shots. If that's Lloyd, Neitz that's great but others likecloke, matty Richardson who worked hard on the art wold offer serious value as well

Just turned on the tiges v swans.. Tiges 2 goals up...😂 Obviously it's because of us completely breaking the swans a couple of weeks back. They are rabble as a result of the dismantling by us.

With the last few weeks - there has been a stay of execution. Today we won the 'moral' victory of predicted scores.... we lost badly due to goal kicking. Absolutely terrible goalkicking from guys who are paid serious money to kick a footy. All the good work in the coaching box was undone today. The hangman is reaching for the noose again

Was going to go, put it in the diary on the phone and completely missed it this morning until I got the phone out to pay for the weeks groceries..... Ah well missed my 'free' coffee

Those days were awesome 👌 never felt unsafe at any of the suburban grounds - vic park, windy Hill, moorabbin, western oval all had there own personality and witnessed some absolute nut jobs - lots and lots of banter - some awful, most fully in jest. Was always fun getting amongst the local ferals

Just a heads up gang - his basketball team and footy team will be there tomorrow as part of the guard of honour for the teams entrance to the game and 2 younger sisters running out with the team. Tickets provided by MFC for family members of both teams. Big congratulations to the the club for making this happen

Would love to be the one giving the half time spray.....

That's a cracking good kick at goal from Jayden Hunt. Absolutely terrible from us all round though

You'd be stoked if you were compared to Karl. Great footballer

I stand corrected - was Balmey. Could've sworn blue it was danners though - mixing my memories

My favourite Neil Daniher quote "who's this Theo X person that's parked in my carpark" Still call Schwarta Theo instead of the Ox 😆

No

Just thinking out loud (or at least on keyboard..) I wonder if JVR non selection is actually about teaching and consolidation of ball movement for our mids and HF line. With JVR a focal point we are in the habit of the long bomb and have no vision of lateral/other options. Making it very easy for the loose sweeper to dominate We have been way better at this over the past couple of weeks while playing more small ball. When JVR comes back they should be in the habit of finding the best option instead of just heading his way.

Got last years indigenous jumper - with red heart. Cracking jumper. This years looks just as good. However really think the designs could be used for multiple years rather than redoing them year on year. Seems like a waste of resources and non-sold merchandise to me.

Local News: Port Phillip council...Port Phillip council buys Australia Post site for communi...A large commercial site in Port Melbourne is set to be turned into a sport and recreation hub after it was snapped up by the City of Port Phillip for $38.8 million.City of port Melbourne bought it for $38mill to turn it in to a community sports precinct at the end pf 2023. If Hirdy is mentioning it port melbourne fc would want it to be a footy based facility they can use as well, and secondly there must be some hurdles that having an AFL Tennant would help solve. Its a massive area

Just watched Paul Guerra get interviewed on Footy classified. Eddie Maguire suggested that Caulfield will be pushed back by 12 months with the Mt Scopus work. James Hird mentioned that Port Melbourne should be on the agenda and there's something that could be done there given Australia post have or are leaving the building next door to the ground. He might be onto something that needs a closer look - not against it if a total solution can be done there and caulfield is delayed or compromised

https://my.raceresult.com/317583/results Just came across this - Seems Jack can run too. 2:35 in the Canberra Marathon- absolutely flying. 6th overall Wonder if he he has it in him... only 24 minutes faster for Olympic qualifying time

Kanga says that Kanga would prefer it to be his beloved Pies and if not them then Kanga would prefer if everyone just said Kanga whenever they kanga because well kanga is the best and kanga...... Anyone who speaks about themselves in the 3rd person especially using their surname only is a complete .....head. hopefully his reign at MRC will be short-lived and the next guy will see the benefit of the Dees and elite training facilities using the wasteland

Going bold. This kid will be the best player in the competition in 2 years. So good both inside and outside

You must be new around here...

He's already told Tom Morris where to go.... that's enough for me
