    Nah, it's just a bit of fun to expose the footy acumen of many here, not to mention the jellybelly culture.  I'd hate to be in the trenches with some of them.

    "Goodwin can't coach or has lost the players"

    "Not going on the camp was a huge mistake"

    "Viney's career could be over"

    "Brayshaw should give the game away for the sake of his health"

    "Trading Jack Watts is a major mistake"

    "Weideman is never going to make it"

    And the commentary on Hogan is too numerous to mention.

     

    The flogs and snowflakes who frequent this forum are many and a sight to behold and they need to (occasionally) be held account for their really stupid "opinions".

    I think the time out has done Jack some good.

    Putting a positive spin on things.

    He's still a young player and very much learning the game but showed some real footy smarts on Friday night that the old Jack might not have.

    Exhibit A:

    Loved how he ran out to the opposite pocket when he saw Hannan running toward goal down the members flank.

    Poor old Blicavs didn't have a clue which way to go until it was too late. Hannan nearly fell for it as well, luckily he showed the composure to kick the goal in the end.

    I reckon the old Viney wouldn't have been so cagey.

    To be honest I have had resrvation"s re Jack. My fears were that he would upset the chemistry of the Midfield.

    I have to admit I was wrong, because rjay's comment reflect the more mature way he approached his game. Maybe his time in the "gameday coaches area" would have given hi m a wider perspective than "see ball, GET Ball

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
