I wonder has any of them coached a premiership team?

I don't think that Petracca wants the captaincy.

I the 1950's Noel McMahon was Captain, Followed by John Beckwith when Noel retired, John relinquised the Captaincy in 1960 and left the club in 1961 to coach a country side.

Surely they are referring to the AA captaincy!

'tap on the shoulder' to big Matt... "psst! You do realize Big Max just became the most successful MFC Captain since Ronald Dale don't you!"

If Max does not want the captaincy then maybe Petracca might be appointed, Max has such a media presence at the moment that will sell season tickets and sponsorships that the club should not discard the current captain.

Matt Rendell on Trade Radio just said Melbourne should take the captaincy off Gawn and give it to Petracca.

Is this guy a bigger [censored] than Robbo I wonder???

Surely he was meaning in a couple of years? If not this would have to be one of the stupidest things that’s ever been said on trade radio.

I wish he had. But nope, he was going for the now. Barrett couldn'tbelieve what he was hearing!

Like wow… 😳

Rendell must be angling for a Norm Smith style curse to come back ‘cos I’m positive that nothing good could come from stripping the captaincy from Max and giving it to ‘Tracc.

Tracc will likely lead the club in the future. I’d go as far as saying it’ll happen in the next 2-3 years. There’s just no need to stuff the unity and morale of the club in him becoming captain.

For the first time in like forever I haven’t even been thinking about the trade period. 

Who cares we won. 

We are the PREMIERS 2021, has a nice ring to it if u ask me. 🏆

Max and Gus are the spiritual leaders of the group. Just listen to the podcast. Tracc will be captain one day, if he wants it, but now? How dumb would that be?

Yep won't be tuning in to the week and a half long [censored] hanging onto hope for next year. I'm sure we will shuffle around some picks and might pick up a player or two but who really cares. It's all about the flag!!

This is going to be a very boring trade period.

* "Jordan Dawson to Adelaide will be the most hotly contested trade this period." — Sam Edmund

* Fremantle midfielder Adam Cerra has officially nominated Carlton.

* "I'd rather go for Mason Cox over Levi Casboult." — Adam Cooney on who the Lions should target

* “I'm hearing Nick Daicos will be bid on with pick 3, which is worth 1700 points and the Pies have already got that." — Matt Rendell

rendell screams out as a filth apologist

all year the talk has been that daicos would be bid on with pick 1 and now a former filth employee is saying, "oh, no, he'll definitely slide to pick 3 which the pies already have the points to match"?

he's even done the whole "why would you cost horne-francis $10k bonus by not picking him pick 1?" 

it's the same rubbish that bevo said last year re ugle-hagan to try and dodge around him, inevitably, being nominated at pick 1

I have a feeling Jayden Hunt will end up somewhere. I hope not as he a handy wing /half back option but he may want more game time elsewhere.

why?

he was best 22 all year and a part of the back 6 til injury when he couldn't force his way back into a side that was settled in the midst of a finals run - not too surprising given he had surgery and most other players with similar injury were missing 12+ weeks

i'd expect he'll be straight back to being part of the back 6 in 2022

Probably his best ever season and only lost his spot due to injury, probably takes Hibberd's spot back IMO.

Yeah just heard that. SOS was agreeing with him. They both seem to be of the opinion that Jackson isn’t all that great either. 

And this is exactly why I don't listen to this trash.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
