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.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
