PREGAME: Rd 22 vs Western Bulldogs
I agree McVee must be the sub from the 5 named not on the ground. Windsor, after his last game through the midfield must stay there, and none of the other could realistically fulfil a sub role.

NON-MFC: Round 22
Moore’s knees do take a regular battering. 😡 And I am proud to say I have watched none of them. Thanks AFL.

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
Longmire has, I believe, settled in in Sydney. Would he be at all interested in changing homes again, even if we did want him? But, would having a horse on board help with our overtures to Caulfield?

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
Are people serious about Hird? Really? What did he achieve other than running a program that set his beloved club back decades. As others have suggested, quite a few lifelong members may decide enough is enough, me included.

The Max Heath Thread
How good would it be to have a successor to our unique colossus also named Max (even if his is only a shortie at only 205 cm). 🤗🤗🤗 One can always dream.

Welcome to Demonland: Jai Culley
I will be fascinated to see how he fares (presumably) the next 3 weeks against finalists and contenders. Very pleased with what he did in his debut for us. It will also be interesting to see which role he fits into going forward b

Welcome to Demonland: Jai Culley
Very impressive start for us. Plays taller than he looks and as mentioned above his smarts in kicking to the hot spot was an example many of his colleagues should follow.

CASEY: Rd 19 (bye)
Another bloody bye in this disgrace of a support competition. Of course AFL HQ only care about $$$ not about player development.

NON-MFC: Round 21
Just back from dinner : how good to see Colonwood being done at the G. Brisbane Adelaide GF would be interesting.

GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs West Coast
Cully, who I now see is sometimes referred to as JC (another saviour?), is dpong well What role is he playing? Wing? HF? Mid?
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs West Coast
Totally random, like 50 metre penalties, high tackles, holding.
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs West Coast
Watching TV it is hard to get an overall feel for the game. Not nearly enough wide view shots. Where / what role is Culley playing? 13 seconds to go - BANG, BANG, ???? Certainly given us a spark
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs West Coast
OMG - 44 points up. Need trauma counselling.
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs West Coast
That one didn't work but generally he is pretty good at marking.
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs West Coast
As I said before, down to below putrid standard umpiring
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs West Coast
Probably a safer bet for Tracc to handball it rather than kick it. Langford a fantastic pick up.
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs West Coast
Umpiring (both ways) down to its usual putrid standard.
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs West Coast
Petty to defence, Turner forward could only be an improvement. Nice mark and goal Culley: great pass from Melksham.
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs West Coast
A shorter "la" word would better describe it - lazy
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs West Coast
Yet again gone to sleep. And still can't kick straight under pressure What's the betting that bastard Christian will say Rivers should have seen Ryan coming - 3 weeks 😡

TRAINING: Monday 28th July 2025
so was Sunday’s last quarter “performance” if you could call it that, due to over training or under training? To whom is the no mercy directed? The players, the opposition? The MRO 😠? Certainly there has been no mercy for the members.

Trade Targets
Surely it won’t - he will have a say but no right of veto.
-
TRAINING: Monday 28th July 2025
So, no 6-6-6 set ups, nor manning up the most dangerous opposition player at a final ball up? They would appear to me to be important learnings, but then of course I am not the coach so what would I know?

2025 MRO & Tribunal
Maybe Christian once again threatened to resign - sadly he didn’t. Surely it is well past time to review the appointment - his bias towards his club is once again bleeding obvious. The AFL would confirm rumours of corruption if he is not replaced.
