    Usually refers to a troops coming out of a difficult battle and can’t associate with what they have witnessed. Sorry Stig you posted before me.

    In Clarry's defence he probably can't even remember what happened 12 months ago, May's laughing is the more concerning part...

    Best guess? 

    No idea, and won’t speculate. But we’re truly gutless and pathetic. It’s not just the losses to West Coast, Fremantle and Collingwood, it’s the way we performed (or lack thereof) and conducted ourselves in those games that make me think something isn’t right. What that is, I don’t know. Even Petracca’s pre-bounce “bro-style” handshake and pat on the back of Maynard was disgusting. It was easier to watch our losses in the Neald-era for mine; our list was full of C-graders and we landed talent. That’s not an excuse in these instances, ergo, something is wrong.

    I guess the club knew there was no winning in a snarling match against the combination of Collingwood, the AFL executive, and Channel 7 'Australia's official home for abusers, war criminals and sex pests'.

    I mean, Brian Taylor actually asked "Do you think those boos for Maynard might be related to the Bradshaw incident?"

    [censored]

    I'm slowly falling out of love with football. It struck me over the long weekend that I was only ever dipping in to check on games, catch a few headlines, see if there was anything of particular note.

    I used to settle in for multiple games a week (multitasking of course), monitor all kinds of stats, play Supercoach (spent a solid chunk of one season inside the top 1000), knew the expectations of at least 30 of that season's draft picks, and could have made a reasonable go of naming a best 22 for most clubs.

    As of now, I couldn't give you the top 10 from the last draft or for most clubs.

    I'm Melbourne, now, and that's all I am when it comes to Australian Football.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
