Just had the misfortune of watching Saturday Countdown and Derm “jokingly” asked Brayshaw if Oliver throws it more than Tom Brady.

I don’t normally get upset about media but it just showed complete and utter disrespect for not only Oliver, but also Brayshaw and a team that is 11 and 1.

I dare say Derm wouldn’t have asked it to a player from a “big” club. It just feels like a lot of the media are having a hard team getting it through their head that we are the best right now.

Dermie is lazy and offers no insight whatsoever. I don’t know why Fox continue employing him. Champion player, dud analyst.

We shouldn’t get too precious about his comment though. Reality is Clayton throws a few just like most other midfielders in the league. Dermie spent the previous 15 mins of the segment praising us so let’s not feed this persecution complex many of us seem to harbour.

I’m cringing SO hard right now. Obvs Brereton has been waiting for an opportunity to use his absolutely hilarious Murali and Tom Brady barbs and what better time than with a Melbourne player. Has probs been practicing it in front of the mirror all season.

I plead guilty thought at half time  its over  thought due for a down game   that it was only 2nd loss for year and then 2 nd half   very well played  and bowled  by the boys  and they are my boys.

To me, it was just more of a reflection of Derm and other people in the media having trouble accepting Melbourne are now good so he’s trying to deflect.

I am sick of the media.

Just read the report in the HSun. Said Zorko would be stiff to get suspended (for a deliberate elbow to TMac's head!) but Tom Sparrow would most likely go - which would be ridiculous - Sparrow turned his body around to shepherd the ball and Rich ran into his back!

Watched the replay, absolutely putrid umpiring. 

At least 7 obvious push in the backs in the first half

Bs free to Charlie Cameron in the last 4m to go

8m to go a lions kick in and they had a runner in the 50m arc

Daniher spun 360 and the ball his the ground,  then he kicks,  play on. 

And we hit the post 4 times. 

Weid is a bust. Bring in sideshow bob

Agree with all but I thought the Charlie Cameron one was there although "tiggytouchwood". Fortunately ANB got it back straight away. Lions got 3-4 soft frees around the 4m mark.

It is easy to forget how good big Max is - he is putting together a career that puts him in the conversation about being the best ruckman in the history of the game.

I know Max will just put up with the way other teams treat him, but by God, the club really should bring this to the attention of the umpire dept and ask for clarification. Being smashed in the head week after week with not one free.

My dear mater made the good point that had Tomlinson not got injured, Petty might be looking at other options at the end of the year.

Geelong at the Graveyard Round 23. Bring. It. On.

Surely if we are top two or four and they are fighting for the four the game should not be played down there if crowds are allowed back by then. I can hear their protests but really that ground is not up to AFL standard. A better deal for away supporters is urgently required. A cat member told me a couple of years ago that only 200 seats were allocated for away supporters. PATHETIC.

He had no role last night and was simply quiet.

What do you mean he had no role? Every player has a role.

I actually agree with them. Zorko and Tmac was a bit of close off the ball by play from what I can see it did not seem to  affect Tmac. Free kick was the right decision end of story for mine.

Dermie is an old sad loser desperately trying to hang onto whatever tiny relevance he has left. 
His “analysis” is about as in depth as a shallow pool of horse crap.

Of course every player has a small role to play. But how can you say he played his role when the coach clearly says otherwise. 

When Goodwin says he wasn't given a specific role and was in fact quiet, then the coaching staff feel he wasn't up to the required standard they expected on the night.

I uavent heard the interview, but fair enough. I was simply going on what I watched. He's played a lot worse games than that and kept his spot.

It looks like he went to McCluggage in the second half to try and reduce his influence. Perhaps it was just by virtue of positioning rather than a set role.

Every one of those 'examples' he clearly handballs. Fair dinkum he is a .... up ...... Can't believe they pay him to comment on football

How about looking at how tbe dogs move the ball

Oliver's hands are very quick but that doesn't mean he's throwing it. Obviously too quick for Derm to pick up.

Angus handled that well, he's great on the podcast and a very smooth operator in media interviews. 

Clarry will keep racking up brownlow votes and derm will keep eating meat pies and thats fine with me.

The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
