Well you could have been my friend WCW but you foolishly knocked back my invitation to  a classy night out at Hooters.

Wait, do we have Hooters in Australia? I’ve only been in America. Their buffalo wings are delicious.

    So much for winning a premiership makes you a destination club.

    I fear Kozzie has the go home factor as well. (Just our luck)

     

    He might go but it won’t be this year so better get another flag in 2023

    I'm astounded that anybody could see AF's post as anything but champagne comedy.

    We all need some chicken soup for the soul I think.

    TBH I don't want another year of Jackson like speculation.

    I'm of the mind to say sign or we trade.

    The kid glove treatment of Jackson got us nothing but distraction

    was that meant to be sarcasm?

    asking for a friend

    To me, sarcasm implies a level of unpleasantness or even nastiness.

    I'd describe AF's post as satire.  Harmless, amusing and light-hearted.

    It beggars belief that people have got their bloomers in a bunch over it.

    Think clubs and supporters need to be more mature about trades, if he is a net positive still then you hold him to the contract, for the clubs part maybe they should also be more transparent at what is happening so there isn’t this speculation, if they know he is gone say so and we can just enjoy what time he has left

    Yay.  

    Good luck to them. All the 'On The Couch' footage of A Carlton zone in shambles with defenders caught in no mans land stopped this year. I wonder why.

    Howl me down all you like. Recruiting kids from interstate always makes me nervous. Every year we see kids go home for that reason. It's very deflating.

    Tigers will have a VERY different side in 2023 at this rate 

    They'll be after Harry Mckay next year when Reiwoldt retires... maybe a second dynasty for the Tiges if they land Taranto, Hopper and Logue this year and Mckay next year. Well played IMO.

    Logue, Hopper AND Tarranto??? With Dusty, Prestia, Rioli, Lynch and Bolton as well?

    Geez, I'd like there to be an independent audit of each club's TPP in relation to the SC. Beats me how some can keep adding 'star' players each year

    Nice. Genuinely happy that North have attracted some talent. (Some talent that I didn't want)

    Good pick up by North, and a smart decision by Logue.

    I'm thinking North's 2nd round pick or priority pick will get the trade done, with maybe a late pick swap North's way.

    Really disappointing to hear that we're set to recontract Jake Melksham. Michael Hibberd I can understand because he has been consistent with his form all year, but Melksham..?

    He's last couple of games showed that he's just past it. Other then the Carlton game he didn't much in any other games and he was incredibly poor against Sydney.

    Played as the 2nd tall forward forward so that alone has chewed games off Jacob Van Rooyen who once again justified on the weekend that he was physically ready to go.

    He's going to be 32 next year and our focus needs to be on the next wave of talent coming through like Laurie, Chandler, Bedford and Moniz-Wakefield. 

    If we can get an extra list spot to bring in another developing tall forward/ruckman then surely that makes more sense then keeping washed up 32 year old forward flanker.

     

    Agree classic mates deal. It pays to be mates with the coach.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
