Norman Banks ? Is that you ?

Thy way Melbourne used Melksham against Andrews was a clear sign. And the Pies matching him up with Howe. Adams has been a big loss. But hey .. Lester is filling a vital position which is more surprising ( in a good way ).

And he does not own a TV. He off the grid in his own way. Growing up a 6'8" Daniher in Melbourne is no stroll in the park. Good for him.

Hodge like .. if only. He was by far the best mature age recruiting we've had since Mal Michael / Martin Pike in 2000.

He's the fire starter. When his head is in the game and his kicking is on, we look $1m. The key to our game plan is bravely switching play and getting to the forwards one out. That's what he does. Even tho' we lost to the Demons, those 2 quarters showed what we can do when we keep looking for...

It's only just begun.

Chin up.

He loves sitting on heads .. and one day he will take that speccie. Meanwhile just keep imposing on the contest and playing that tall forward / pack-crashing role.

And Joe .. learnings from that MCG nightmare maybe.

Blues fans .. nothing better than knocking them off. They just go totally and wonderfuilly bitter and splenetic.

Time to become the next Mitch Robbo - full white line fever and really get stuck in. Start with fierce tackling and hard running to assist .. and see what happens.

He seems to rely on his height ( duh ! ) so when Cox .. or Gawn ( groan ) .. out-reaches, he has no plan b. We should try and do better imo.

He provides a quick inside first-possession release to get the ball outside to the runners. Credit to him for maintaining his form and composure after Ashcroft was clearly preferred. Team player.

Lot to like about Eric tonight - torched Maynard a few times and his goal kicking from the 50 is excellent. AhChee is a total lock. He's got skills to burn and real footy smarts.

We just get smashed by any really classy big guy. Especally Gawn. In fact - always Gawn. He's inside Oscar's head. Something's got to change.

THose 2 quarters v Those 2 quarters v Demons were our best form so far - makes that loss so galling. Close but no cigar without Ashcroft. He's got that Simon Black clean hands that makes everyone look great.

We clearly cannot defend the MCG .. farcial moments in the last 5 minutes. Any well drilled team could have coped. Get to work coaches. Earn your $$

Or when Viney literally ripped the ball out of O's hands and snapped a goal. I mean .. JHC. Footy desperation 101. Fail.

We need more ruck class. And there's Grundy running aroung in the VFL. Come on. Make the call.

Demons got that match up right - Andrews looked a little adrift, He should have dominated in the air - yet Melksham took a PACK mark to kick the winner. Where was that fist ?

Hodge was the key signing - an immense player and mentor.

Saw him practicing his across-the -body shots pre game and he iced every one. And then he misses from exactly the same spot in the 3d. That would have been the difference.

Winners are grinners. That how it works. No Deep State conspiracies or evil doers. Redemption is only one week away.

Agree. Lost their nerve. Which was there in abundance in the 2nd and 3rd. In contrast, the Pies do not.

Gutsy move imo to have Melkcham stand Andrews in the last - looked odd at the time and gave us a huge intercept advantage. But - he took a pack mark to win the game. So where was Harris right then ? Trailing the contest. Demons kicked first and last 4 goals - and thrashed us around the packs...

So .. is Grundy available ? Our ruck really needs some class.

2022 v Demons at the G was a real low point. We were jaw-droppingly terrible. Low bar. Nothing to lose.

Rayner really needs to finish better. Like Bailey. Then he becomes a real matchwinner and fulfill his destiny.

Spot on. He can now play a little taller and use his experience and run. His 'turnaround' has been nothing short of spectacular.

Thought Fletcher looked very capable. Won his one-on-one's consistently and has some confidence. Think he has a next level.
