You know here to stick it D.

Was that meant to be "how" or "where", Froggy?

    What you write about the use of rite is quite right.

    No apology required.  I was just being my usual pedantic smart alec.

    I have a reputation to live down to, you know.  :D

    Lord of the Flies? Culture can’t of being that bad at Whitten Oval. Surely! Bevo’s little experiment did go awry.

    Whoever was talking about our forward line needing a player to provide on field coaching / direction (like May in backline) in another thread, you were spot on!  Tim Lamb says Hunter could provide that for us

    I see big upside with this trade. Fills a hole on many levels. I hope Lachie gets back to some of his good footy he produced at the Bulldogs 

    structurally he provides a lot to our midfield

    I think Tim was just taking about his kicking into the forward line and connecting between midfield and forward lines. Not leadership.

    The Rat pack of Libba and Hunter is likely what Dunkley was sick of. He alluded to behavioural issues for several years

    Fingers crossed he has had a wake up call.

    Dunkley said it was culture, but the cash on offer from dogs was laughable. He was more than happy to go.

    I don't think a formal leadership role in any way but he does literally call Hunter an "on field coach"...!

    At  least he looks happy maybe getting away from the WB pressure cooker will help him play his best football again.

    Surronded by multiple AA players and near AA players whilst at the WB he was expected to carry more of the responsibility of leadership.

    I had to look twice. It looked like Mitch Hannan for a sec

    I've often thought that, he's a much better player than Mitch though.

    I've watched most of the Bullies/Swans match earlier this year and he played a very good game, 19 possessions to half time and hardly, if at all, wasted a possession. He kicked two deliveries in the first half that directly resulted in two marks and two goals.

    He's got a lot of talent and will be a great pick up for us, if he puts his mind to it.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
