Return to Glory

In terms of the future, I'm considering these factors: 1. There was zero forward pressure against Brisbane 2. The season is cooked 3. Jeffy is not really the future and picks and chooses when he's going to go full bore I'd give Toby Bedford a taste of senior footy. Quick, skilled and starting to make an impact at Casey. No better time than now imo.

Credit where it's due. Great win Blues.

We've been cruelled by injury this year. Put it into perspective. Fit list to choose from and a Noah Anderson and away we go.

Thought the same thing BBO. It's a thread in itself. Best drink to turn to when Melbourne utterly crushes your spirit.

You write it as if it's a negative. I'd slip it into the club marketing strategy as well as a list of best 'coping' wines, scotches and beers..

Goodwin coached like a bunny in the headlights.

I'd prefer Jade Rawlings. Very shaky match day coach imo.

As a starting point, Hunt can take a spell. Painful to watch. And he can lose the headband whilst he's at it. Perhaps look to play Toby Bedford to see if he can exert some forward pressure. No better time than now.

That's it in one. That's a pi55weak effort. One of a number from him. It's schoolboy stuff.

Ump looking right at it

Quick rant: Entertaining to watch but Hunt needs to play accountable footy rather than the inconsistent, unaccountable crap he dishes up.

Sometimes Hunt kicks like an under13 player

KC, I held high hopes for Oskar Baker and Toby Bedford at the start of the season but the knock on Bedford was that he didn't get enough of it. How's he tracking? Could he play that high forward role eventually for the Dees?

Beautiful result.

So Hawthorn has 80, 000 members but as soon as they start losing very few of them turn up. To be fair, the dogs they registered as members aren't allowed direct entry into the ground. Pass me the tissues.

This match is like choosing between a [censored] sandwich and a fart in a space suit.

I suspect part of St Kilda's problems aren't coach related but having an abundance of smug twats running the show. Simon Lethlean really did get a free kick in front of goal after screwing up (pun intended) in AFL admin and his recent 'if we keep improving' comments (some interpreted as earnest) were, for mine, the comments of a total vanker keen to show who's boss.

Just of late, Petracca seems to have developed a footy IQ. I've been negative about him for a little while now but there are small signs in regards to getting into the right spot, making smart decisions and not trying to do too much in possession.

I wanna party with you Captain Upbeat.

Not our problem. Got enough of our own.

Just talking to a mate about Margetts. WC must punch the sky when they see their number one ticket holder is umpiring.

The Chemist Cup

Not entirely au fait with Melbourne's broader coaching staff. What I can say (for what it's worth) is that I have wandered over to a number of Casey quarter and three quarter huddles and Rawlings comes across as a very good communicator.

Rubbish. Besides, there's a team in Swaziland that's very, very bad.

There were actually some very good signs today imo. Yes, Spargo and Garlett were dismal but May and Lever did well given time away from the game. And, really, Gawn was the best player on the ground. We are missing another key forward but it's far from hopeless.
