It's bizarre isn't it

You don't rest 24yo players after 2 games.

A famous comeback win at Windy Hill This one is a single camera feed with crowd audio only so it feels like you're at the G in 1990 sitting in the members! Unfortunately the copy I have freezes just before 3/4 time so missing the final quarter but some great footage and especially rare and always good to have some old Roy Boys tape.

😂 I probably should rephrase that as "I hate it when podcasts wrap up in 25 minutes" because I want more! I don't hate the podcasts themselves and I don't think you're in any danger of going sub-25.

The length of the podcast is never an issue for me - I just play it in chunks and/or at 1.3x speed. I listen to some podcasts that go for hours so this one is tame by comparison. It's the beauty of the format, no time constraints so you can actually delve into things instead of just surface level analysis. I hate podcasts that wrap up after 25 minutes.

And the club backed Richo?

Why?

What happened to Turner? Not a surprising result although disappointing. Freo are a better team than us and should be pushing for top 4. We have a lot of players who are borderline AFL level which is where we are at at this stage of our development/rebuild. Lots for King to work on, let's see how they respond. The most disappointing thing was the inability to stick tackles, the fumbles were bad but understandable with the type of game we're trying to instill and the pressure from Freo. Patrick Voss is such a [censored].

Not expecting a win but want to see us competitive for 4 quarters. A win would be a bonus.

The following two games are from the Fosters International Cup against Geelong (Toronto SkyDome) and Essendon (The Oval, London). And we're into the AFL era, 1990 preseason games below I only have brief snippets/Sunday sports world highlights of the first two 1990 games (Bennett kicks 8 goals against both Geelong and North) which I think are up on Rhett Bartlett's channel so won't re-upload them. Round 3 game below, Easter Monday vs last year's Preliminary Finalist Essendon in front of a bumper crowd.

100%, that's what I took out of that article too. They don't see anything in it for them so why would they support it?

Don't forget loading! 😉

Looks like they have an International Digital membership which I presume gives 12 months access to WatchAFL? Might be worth considering. https://membership.melbournefc.com.au/membership/international-digital

Evidently, not that hard 😉

He was coached to play to the gameplan. It was idiotic and didn't play to his strengths. Thank god we've got someone now who knows the best way to make a forward look good is to give them space and put the ball out in front of them. You don't need to be lasering darts onto their chest coming out of the square, you just need to pop it out in space so they can run onto the ball and mark out in front. Makes both the kicker and the recipient look a million bucks. I've always had faith in JVR and he still has a way to go but I think the weekend showed what he is capable of when given the chance in a decent system.

Costs too much pick wise and salary wise.

MFC monogram for formal stuff, Demon logo for marketing, merchandise etc It's not rocket science, kids go to Target or Kmart and see merch with Magpies, Hawks, Tigers and an MFC monogram. It's hardly appealing to a younger audience.

My son bought one of the flame head guernseys instantly, kids love the Demon! I love the Demon, it's a huge part of why I love this footy club. Bring back the Demon!

From the club that produced this, I'm not surprised. https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/attachments/afl-st-kilda-the-streak-2004-jpg.14673/

I've ripped on him but he looked far more comfortable down back yesterday and had a couple of big moments. Did well in the ruck too which he struggled with big time in the past.
