No harmonica this week.

I'd love to know what Davies and Wright are thinking right about now.

You'd have to think we'd be favorites against Richmond. 7 in a row would be sensational.
We'll be favourites with the bookies for sure, I hope the players ignore that and any other noise about x in a row and what not. Focus on process and working on whatever isn't working well (which aint much at the minute)

I think Rich will trouble us more than WC did today. I hope the trend of taking every opponent seriously every week irrespective of where they are on the ladder continues. If we take them lightly or treat them with contempt, we will do so out our peril.
Indeed, Richmond have played their best football against us for the last couple of years, much to my irritation. I don't want us to take them lightly, but I do want us to give them a day they want to forget.

Pitto has struggled against Nankervis in the past, and we have not much of a plan B for that situation. Also Richmond will have Lynch back, and he won't kick that badly again.
If Weitering were playing, Lynch wouldn't get a kick, but Weitering isn't going to play. Dean and Derksen will need to be on their game!
As good as Dean and Derksen have been, I'd imagine Lynch would monster them.

Maybe give him one more week, but it's probably time for Ison to have a week or two back in the VFL.
Just as a developmental thing.
He's struggled a bit the last few weeks.
Let him go back and get a bit of confidence and a few possessions.

Me personally, I'm leaving him in. He (and Byrne, Dean) have something we have been lacking for years, kent.
Give them good long runs in the 1's I reckon, their confidence will come when given the challenge and having faith put on them. The team has grown in confidence and together, they have worked out how to get themselves out of the pickle they were in the first 7 or 8 rounds. Ison and Byrne need to dragged along in all that. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Just my opinion, its neither right, wrong or what the MC will do neccessarily.

5 in a row is some achievement.  I left Melbourne on may 30. 

The club needs to start talking to my employer and funding my overseas adventures.

Last time I went, was 2023 in June....
I went OS in June 2024, I watched us flog Rich on my phone  in Rome in front of the Colosseum. We were 2 or 3rd that stage. The day I landed back in Melb we played Haw and got knocked out of the 8.

Tony Modra is fighting for life after his cattle truck hit a tree. Been airlifted to hospital but is not in a good way with life threatening injuries.
Thoughts and prayers are with Mods and his family.

It sounds like he's in with a chance now.  Let's hope so!
Yes, we pray for him. A freak accident it seems, a tree branch came down and pierced his windscreen resulting in severe facial injuries, Interestingly the lady who stopped found him wondering around bleeding heavily and he managed to pull the truck up so he had his faculties about him. Apparently was on the phone to his wife who heard the incident and all the aftermath. Shocking.

The Sports Desk / SOO Rugbaleeg Game 2
After a sluggish start and getting back on track in the first half, the Maroons are making a mess of the Blues in the second half at the G. This is going to be a cracker finish.
