Given none of our supporter base can get JVR'S pronunciation correct and yell Roo when he get's it, i'm nor sure why the same people are upset when our president calls trac pertracka.

 

 

Hahaha, neither can our match day announcer - Robbo says it wrong every single week

Clazz to request trade due to concerns about Dees culture I'm hearing

Clarry reckons a strong club would have traded him 12 months ago

Groucho Oliver?

[Queanbeyan Demon 6,843]

I'm really over people pointing fingers at the usual suspects: the media (those good folks just doing their job), the umpires (come on, we all know they’re perfect), the AFL (because they’re totally innocent), the Filth (Collingwood, obviously), the Club, ex-club legends, the *cul-cha*, Pork-barrel Park, the Government (they're always blamed for everything), injuries, the fitness team (surely they’re saints), the admin chaos . . . oh, and did I mention the umpires (again)?

Here's where we *really* need to be focusing our attention for where the real vilians are hiding - in plain view.

    1.    Judas Iscariot – The original backstabber, pre-Facebook drama.
    2.    The person in the grassy knoll – Still dodging accusations like a pro.
    3.    Lindy Chamberlain – Blamed for a dingo’s diet plan.
    4.    Richard Nixon – The guy who made tape recordings go out of style.
    5.    Macbeth – Just couldn’t resist the whole “stab the king” trend.
    6.    Marie Antoinette – Accused of not sharing her cake recipe.
    7.    Bernie Madoff – A financial wizard, but not in a Harry Potter way.
    8.    King Henry VIII – Bad at marriages, good at decapitations.
    9.   George Pell – Accused of lots, cleared of some, still dodgy headlines.
    10.  Voldemort – Definitely allergic to love, and noses.

Unfortunately I could see us losing to Collingwood again which sets off all the emotions of "here we go again".

I think the AFL will go after another Round 1 attendance record and putting Hawks vs. Pies on a Friday night would be a good start.

After all this trade [censored], Melbourne vs. Geelong at the MCG, Saturday 2.10, is what i'd like to see.

this is funny! as if we are playing geelong at the MCG this year! weve had our once a decade game at the g, its GMHBA from now until 2032.

I just wish they'd give us the double up Collingwood game in round 1 instead of in the later rounds. The kind of game where we can make a very big statement by coming out firing straight up !

I see what you are saying, but everything that can go wrong when playing Collingwood goes wrong. We even lose a player to suspension when the oppo's captain slips over in the wet and of course we pay the price. Please play them once next year.

Give us a West Coast at the G in round 1, Sunday 1pm on a a beautiful March afternoon in front of 35K as we quietly build into a season of redemption. Happy to sit out opening round.

35,000! That would be a win if it happened.

We’ve had the Dogs at the G in Round 1 three years in a row. Might happen again?

If you can't say anything that's not difficult, don't say anything at all.

For crying out loud champ, people are allowed to hold their club accountable. And very ordinary to call others ‘maggots’ on here as well.

While the media clearly loves stirring the pot about us (I really do hate Sam McClure), there is too much noise for one to stick their head in the sand and think “yeah, everything’s rosy over at Melbourne HQ”.

Whether you like it or not, the fact that all of this information has been leaked out to the media, points to an inability of the club to prevent information leakage. 

That’s an issue of the club and certain people privy to information who won’t keep their damn mouths shut.

We got 32K in round 17 against West Coast off some patchy form. Wouldn't be impossible to get an extra 3K in the same time slot given the opening game always generates excitement.

Or perhaps everyone that was on the fence about attending that game attended, as compared to the later GWS and Port games where many people erred on the side of staying home.

If we get the Dogs for the fourth year in a row for round 1, then clearly it's high on our request list.

Up the middle, that's where the action is!

Always attack an opponent's strengths, not weaknesses. No-one expects you to attack the strongest part of the fort. Take life by its little bunny ears and get in its face, because that my friend is LIVING!

If the team at Sleepy Hollow had Derksen they would be requesting pick 5 plus a future first rounder. They are in danger of becoming the new Essendon.

IIRC kids went free to this year’s WC game. Although we do tend to get bigger crowds earlier in the year with the better weather and the optimism.

Now just wait for Tom [censored] Morris...." wait...it hasnt been put to bed" 

Great we can get some  clarity however...if clarry isnt fired up now for a big season he never will be. Love to see him be in great form again and attack the season,

[DeeZone 9,830]

Hmmnnn, they spoke with his manager, that is Clayton Oliver’s Manager, a fleeting meeting, we respect Melbournes Stance and will put it to bed.

Thanks Andrew Mackie for clearing the air…!!!!!

I believed our President at the B&F when he said we will start Round 1 at the G with Gawn, Viney, Oliver and Petracca. Go Figger.❤️💙💕

Lamb was pretty careful with his wording as to how we got into such a hot mess but he was definitive about where Oliver will be playing next season.

The AFL owes us for keeping the AFL in the news during otherwise dull weeks.  Sadly, the reward will probably be getting to play Geelong twice at GMBH next year.

Whatever the review raises Green and co need to address the circus club has become … the last 12mths is a joke with the going ons of Oliver, Trac and constant noise enough is enough, either keep these players or trade them!
