Changes vs Swans R4
ANB will have a good game in Round 15 thereby justifying the 14 putrid games before then. So, we are stuck with him

Changes vs Swans R4
Out - ANB, Omac, TMac, any other plodder In - Stretch, Petty, Garlett, Kielty Frost but needed for Buddy.

POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs Essendon
Lol. So the problem with Tom Mac's game is his head is in front of a camera too much and his body language is worse than Hogan's. Good one pal

Impeccable timing. I'm jealous

POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs Essendon
1. TMac doesn't love media attention 2. No player's body language is worse than Hogan's 3. The problem with Tom MacDonald is form, injury issues, football IQ and talent (or the lack thereof)

3. We don't seem to understand structure

POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs Essendon
It's like we haven't been told about the new kick in rules and are waiting for a signal from Essendon that they are all in position before we take our kick. Then, you guessed it, kick it down the line to no-one.

You think we could beat GC? Lol

Next Melbourne (Vice) Captain
This^ I'd add the new rules with runners has added to our woes. We don't have the on field leaders to make up for the loss of communications/marshalling/instructions from the runners (until Lewis is back anyway).

Oskar Baker
Had one of the longest layoffs for a hamstring injury I've ever heard of (without surgery). He wasn't that long ago that he joined the main group in full training. I hope he's not rushed in to the seniors underdone. The knock on him is disposal and decision making so I'd like him to tear it apart at Casey first.

GAMEDAY: Rd 02 vs Geelong
Hopefully it's like Sydney v Adelaide last night. Adelaide, the away team, were given a dream run by the umpires. Not sure why but I'd take it tonight.

PREGAME: Rd 02 vs Geelong
Clatworthy's (Sawyers Arms) or Gold Diggers. If you're going early for a frothie, your odds of finding a carpark improve. I do like that about Geelong - still able to get a park without a grey ghost sniffing after you. I'll be there - parking in a mate's driveway a few minutes from the ground ? Go Dees!

Jack Viney and the medical staff...
Jack be nimble Jack be quick Jack jump over the effin candlestick FFS

Changes vs Geelong Rd 2
I can't see Viney turning it around one week. Needs to play at Casey to regain fitness rather than sit on the bench at Geelong. Stretch in to replace him for a week, unless they decide to run with KK. Out: Frost, Viney In: May, Stretch (KK) In two weeks bring in Viney and KK

DEMONLAND PLAYER OF THE YEAR - Round 1
Me. My argument is that other players were better (as few of them as there were). I acknowledge he's fit - probably fitter than all of them, but I don't think you should get votes for being fit. Being fit enabled him to apply pressure, unlike most in the team. The rest of his game was ordinary - including his attempted ball gathers which bounced off him, his points and his poor decisions, disposal and fumbles. Spargo applied pressure too. Fight over. Roger wins.

Casey v Box Hill - Practice Game on Sunday
I read that above that Bedford played half back? Is that true or did he just have a stint there? Who kicked goals for Casey? Cheers
-
POSTGAME: Rd 1 vs Port Adelaide
I thought the ball gathering skills were particularly cringeworthy. He'd be running to gather the ball and it would bounce off him.

Round 1 Team
Oh FFS is this one of your feelings a la Petracca - that fat bloke who has to be dragged kicking and screaming out of a giant bowl of Mumma's pasta to play footy. Stretch leaves no stone unturned to play AFL footy. You wont find a harder trainer or anyone more meticulous in their preparation. It's more a question of whether he has enough AFL attributes. I'll regret posting this I'm sure given your likely responses and endless posting, so feel free to just leave it as I will.

Fair point and enough to make anyone shudder, if not get full blown hives.

I'm surprised you'd contemplate them lining up like that.
