I certianly wouldn't be flying down to tassie for round 23.

    To suggest we are tanking is ludicrous, I believe Goody refers to it as ‘strategically losing’.

    The erroneous supposition is he understands  strategy !! Just saying ;)

    I would have said no re tanking until 6:30 last night, now I'm not sure. We are truly awful, but there is no accounting for those selections.

    Shortest Selection Stats. Melbourne have selected one of the shortest sides ever to contest an AFL game in recent times. They have named their three shortest players in Charlie Spargo , Jay Kennedy-Harris and newcomer Kyle Chandler all 173cm on the bench - believed to be the first time a club has ever named its three shortest players there. The average height of the Melbourne team is just 184.8cm.

    Who ever would have thought that O Mac being dropped would bring with it calls that we are tanking?  On Demonland of all places!!

    Other than Preuss (and I can't really understand why he wasn't picked to back up Max) who do we have available other than that bench.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
