Today’s games have highlighted to me how optimistic we should be about our list and our future. We have talent on every line, it’s now a mental game.

The Doggies have regressed badly in the space of the last 20 months. It’s one of the worst falls from grace we’ve seen in years.

Bevo is rebuilding again, after their season from hell.

At least they got that flag,  breaking the drought.  but it came at a cost.

and this is the danger period.

Thinking we are better then we really are.

 

"getting ahead"  is not all its cracked out to be.

Its often a negative thing.

My opinion doesn’t influence the players. I’m just stating we have the talent on each line to be successful, especially when you compare the opposition. At this time and stage it’s mental.

Things ain't as sweet as they want us to believe down at Catland. Word is Ablett only returned because he was promised a cool million in a certain will if he returned...

Well I wouldn't have thought God had so much loose change and whats another mill to him in betrayal

Surely the market gardener paid out big time with the former coach !

Said he was going chainsawring with his new found wealth !

Some people are never satisfied !

Wow, Essendon have done us a favor the last two weeks beating two of our competitors.   Cant believe they beat Geelong and GWS on the road.

The GWS experiment is looking like a failure, same with Gold Coast.  The Demetriou legacy.  Blew his chance to bring in a Tasmania team and instead created two fake plastic franchises with no substance.

Giants a marketing nightmare for AFL.

Quite obviously GW$$$$ and Carlton need to share the first ten picks this draft.

GWS in particular are heartless and soulless as a football club.  You would have to think that effects the psyche of their players.  I mean, when a club that was winning and winning well can not attract more people to it's home games than the MFC in the dark days, as a GWS player you would have to think why bother, no one except Gill and his overpaid mates cares.  How much longer are the AFL and the 17 other genuine teams going to go on supporting this sporting pariah that's draining the funds and spirit of the competition.

Carlton also did us a favour by denying Geelong a huge percentage boost.  Vs Carlton, ours went up by 14% last week but Geelong's went up by just 3% last night. 

Could be very important for the final ladder positions.

Have you factored in how many people aren’t watching on TV???

The very choice of the name "Giants" gave away that this was an imitation club designed by committee with no fans or grass roots involvement allowed in its creation.

But the AFL will keep pumping money into it until it wins a flag, or the AFL goes bankrupt and sells its assets to the A-League and the NRL, or a giant comet strikes the Earth.

Can you explain again who "we" are as it seems somewhat variable. Could be Richmond, could be AFL House marketing department. There may even be some small chance it refers to the MFC.

Not having much luck in favoured MFC outcomes this weekend...

Go Weagles on the assumption we can give them top spot and aim for 2 or 3 ourselves by season's end !!

Not sure who to support in the Freo v North battle... tending towards Freo

Thats right. If we lost to the Tigers in a Grand Final, you would go and celebrate with them in your Tiger undies.

What I took from todays geme:
- Respect for Lever, he could be the dominant figure in the backline in years to come;

- Even workload, no one stared, everyone played their part

- Very cleaver recruiting, especially the rookie and late draft

- Dont want to dream too early but could Melbourne be on the cusp of something special?

-Nev Jetta is so underrated!

- Forward line so accurate I wonder how much Goodwin puts on importance of kicking straight. All players as accurate as Brad Green back in the day!

 

Love it!

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
