Goalkicking
Theory back from the grave!

Goalkicking
The goalkicking is pox, but other than Pickett we also lack players who can pluck goals out of thin air, and I'd be surprised if we weren't in the bottom few sides for set shots from within 15 metres. Edit - I usually don't take expected score seriously, but this has our set shots as the four easiest in the competition so there (seemingly) goes that theory.

Mastermind subject: Melbourne from 1987 to 2007
Good, means there's a gap in the market for a 2008-2014 misery session.

By default I know Ben Beams started on the bench because he might not have ever come off it. I'd like to follow on from this contestant's work and do the Bailey/Neeld years as a subject. SBS has shown a lot of sad, depressing shows over the years but they'll have to put a warning up before this one.

Without looking the 2006 draw was against Geelong. As for the Grand Final all I remember is Neitz having the first shot and thinking we might have a chance. I'll say 10 for Riley as a guess. We won two in a row, then had that putrid loss to Richmond before Daniher quit when they asked him to reapply for his job. Edit - Just watched segment, he did well but I'm surprised there weren't more stitch-up questions about obscure players.

CASEY: Rd 09 vs Northern Bullants
The VFL is a joke of a competition, you can't take games like this seriously.
- WTF – only one game in Melbourne next week?

PREGAME: Rd 11 vs Sydney
Extended management

PREGAME: Rd 11 vs Sydney
At this stage of his career it would have been polite to call McDonald 'managed'.

On this day in 2018
Great day, I'd missed the 2004 landslide over Carlton so hadn't seen us win by 100+ since Richmond '93. Was present for enough losses between 100 and 186, so it was nice to get one the other way.

We're Not Dead Yet - The 2025 Season
We're deader than Kelsey's nuts, now I just want to ruin the value of our traded draft pick.

Luke Jackson back to Victoria?
Basing any life decision on Quinton Narkle remaining at a club for longer than a couple of seasons seems fraught with danger.

Luke Jackson back to Victoria?
Whoever has to replace Max is on a hiding to nothing, may as well be somebody we've got happy memories of.

Tom Fullarton
Ironically after his ruck skills were defamed last year, Fullarton wasn't bad doing that. Unfortunately for him, he's nowhere near it as a forward.

What they're saying down at Punt Road
Not sure Jacinta would be bothered, but it would be funny if they had to use the sub before 3/4 time and were left one short due to the ankle bracelet going off.
