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.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
