Made a BIG BIG statement today. It's significant that injured players were flown up to keep the unit together.

And that photo at the end, they are really saying something about loyalty to one another.

And sticking it up hacks like Damien Barrett.

Viney as good as gone after hearing that comment. Sorry to say, but it’s bleeding obvious after that. He could he playing the contract hold off game, but that answer he gave Lynch was deafening in a pessimistic way. 

Did you watch the game? If you are leaving, you are not playing like that.

After the ridiculous feeding frenzy that was the media/commentary on our club, THAT is what leadership looks like. Brutal, tough, inspiring, uncompromising. I 'dips me lid' to Viney, ANB, Gawn, Lever for showing commitment and pride to our jumper and club. 

Even more so, I am loving the spirit and grunt shown by our large group of your fellas. Turner, Tholstrup, McVee etc... A real strong group of younger players reminding me of early days under Neal Daniher.

But it was against a very, very disinterested Gold Coast.

Gawn spoke wonderfully yet again. Great captain and leader. To me today was a performance of united group, no fractures.
 

Can’t say how I feel about Trac though. Can’t see him with the team in the rooms. Oliver is there, Spargs is there.

Where are you Trac?

 

May is home too. I don’t know that we need to read too much into it. 
But really good to see Clarry there!

How does that make you feel Velcro supporters who come on here and profess to have inside knowledge of BAD CULTURE???? You will never be able to celebrate a win like we will!

Good to see Clarry up there with them

To me, Clarry is a bit like Shane Warne in that he just loves playing with his good mates and thrives the most when he's happy around them

Dwayne is cringe but his burnt toast analogy is spot on IMO. I reckon there’s a huge chance we can rise up the ladder again in 2025.

One thing that hasn’t been mentioned enough is us pioneering giving ANB a game after a public trade request. I thought he was great, so I wonder if it will catch on?

No Jefferson yet but Turner could kick 40+ next year. He can seriously play. 

JV as dominant as I can ever remember him being. 

Melksham should definitely play one more.  
 

The guy in the ARC should be fired on the spot and never work for the AFL again. Completely gutless and sadly predictable. When was the last time one of them went our way?

What'd he say?

Asked you’re not going anywhere are you?

Said “nah” but then said “we will finish out the year and see what happens”. 
Was odd.

Take that media!

Take that squirmy Dermy.  The hope that they could still get up when they were 6 goals down deep in the fourth… priceless

Are you kidding bro?
 

If I’m leaving, I’m playing better and going hard to use that as leverage to show clubs this is what I’m worth. You want me? You pay up. 
 

Why would you play worse and risk other clubs cooling off?

Vines has never been a great speaker and is far from diplomatic. I have zero concerns about Viney staying

Are you joking? Initial response was an enthusiastic YEAH. Followed by a vague remark that read to me as “holy [censored]. My manager will be [censored] off my saying that in contract talks”.

Sorry, I got that the wrong way around.  He was asked "you're not going anywhere?" and replied Nah enthusiastically.    Some people seem deermined to read the worst into everything.

Because it goes both ways, if I get injured I’m getting nothing. 1 game is not jacking up your value, but it can certainly put a quick end to all talks.

I hate to say it but if we won just two of those four games we lost by less than a goal..ie lions....Port...Gws... Carlton....

We would be playing finals again.

Throw in some shocking injuries and it explains quite a bit.

I just love these pessimistic posters, following a massive win like that. TBH you must have a miserable life.

The 4 points and percentage hurts but hopefully the Suns can give the Tigers a good belting next week. 

Lots of drama still to come but a nice reminder to the players of what they can do when they’re physically up for the contest and the opposition are witches hats.

Great win by the club against so much criticism.

Kozzie well down.

No May.

No Oliver.

No Tracca.

Highest score for the year.

Go figure.

Viney best game of the year.

Langers not far off.

Please stay Anb. Despite a very slow start, he stormed home. 

Disco could be our future Coleman.

Self-reflecting on the game he played, the things he did, the space he made, the attack on the ball that he engineered, Disco has much to be proud of, building confidence and initial knowledge of just what a good forward he actually is proving to be. Well done, lad.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
