GAMEDAY: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne
More like a witch doctor. AHPRA need to deregister him. Our goal kicking coach isnโt.

GAMEDAY: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne
Is McVee the best match for Darking? Looks a mismatch to me.

JVR great mark โฆ awful MFC standard kick ๐ก

CASEY: Rd 16 vs Werribee
And sadly a Brown and a Woewoden may be delisted??๐ข๐ข

NON-MFC: Round 18
Is this the Dreamtime at the G, or a snoozefest ๐ค?

CASEY: Rd 16 vs Werribee
Surely that asset can be trained out of him at senior training sessions. How can you say that unless you have tried it.

NON-MFC: Round 18
Just turned on Footscray v Adelaide - best news is that umpire 22 is there today which means he won't be there tomorrow.

PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne
I would say the same, or more so, for #31BF I will never forget - mid first quarter in the 2021 GF I thought that Salo could be well in the running for the Norm Smith, that's how good he was. But ... that was the game the #31BF kicked 6 goals

NON-MFC: Round 18
Surely watching Carlton lose is better than watching Collingwood win.

NON-MFC: Round 18
Umpires totally clueless and confused. Short kickโฆone calls mark, another calls play on! Who knows? Then Bear tackled and kicks immediately โฆ free Carlton. And, by the way, I havenโt heard any commentary re the masses of empty says on the opposite TV side of the ground

NON-MFC: Round 18
Not a lot of situational awareness, twice, by Bluesโ defenders.

PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne
Suddenly my interest in this game has gone from โlittleโ to โzeroโ.

NON-MFC: Round 18
WTF - a 5 meter pass to Cripps - mark. Cripps misses the shot - 50 meters goal. I guess the maggots have already given him 3 votes ๐ก

VALE BRIAN DIXON
A sad day - #9 on the wing was one of my earliest memories at the Demons in our glory days. And he remained a passionate D forever.

Time to scrutinise Alan Richardson
Everyone needs scrutiny and accountability.

TRAINING: Tuesday 8th July 2025
I reckon he is still just a big kid anyway. ๐ค

Wildcard Weekend
That should of course be Americanization, with a zee not an ess NBA - we will have tip off instead of ruck contests, last touch OOB instead of wrestling dinosaurs at throw ins, time out to stifle momentum, and blaring โmusicโ when a goal is scored (though we sort of have that already at some games), and guys swinging on the goal post after scoring. And maybe even the 9 point goals from outside 50 that someone, maybe Eddie and Andrew Dumbitrio, a huge mimic of all things American, wanted.

JvR Re-Signs until 2029
Which is a very mixed blessing - it means they keep playing him in the ruck which stifles any learning of forward craft.
-
POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide
I seem to remember this being said 4 weeks ago. A rolling prediction? IMHO JVR should only ruck deep forward to enable the real ruck to set up a kick behind in defence.

Welcome to Demonland: Luker Kentfield
If that is a Robbie clone than we would have a very positive option. Back to Luker - and I do realise that highlight reels are just that, but check the club website for his early highlights. Strong contested marking with great body work, and fierce tackling. Certainly looking forward to seeing him whenever he debuts.

PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide
So absolutely predictable and uninspiring.

Who is our next captain?
Tracc needs to focus and stop lairising, and Lever looks like he will struggle to play a full season ever again.

Wildcard Weekend
Just wait. Some year Collingwood look like finishing 9 or 10, suddenly it becomes a brilliant idea. ๐ก
