Would've been nice if he had a crack at McRae as well. Don't just go the easy targets Gaz, call them all out

Gaz was cracking jokes with McRae about it on Saturday.

 

I dont care what you all think but iam ready to run thru a brick wall after watching that .He spoke the way he played,all heart

One thing i would say is i really don't see the issue in Alister Clarkson naming Jack Viney, he was very complimentary, i am sure Jack wasn't offended by being considered a culture shaping leader by a 4 time premiership coach. 

by this stage of the year clubs know players are coming and going long before the media do. 

 

My wife, who is not into footy at all - she's too busy publishing novels - has walked past my cloister where I trype stories and watch footy when Melbourne is winning - I have followed the Demons since the losing 1958 Grand Final and experienced way too much pain first hand to watch another battering - and once heard someone exaggerate the name Petracca: it became Petraaaaaaacka and she now mumbles it every time she sees me watching footy.

To be honest, all this hoo ha about a player who was nearly mortally wounded by yet another E Coli Wobbler atrocity - I would like to see some justice in the Season Finale, yes, E Coli Wibbler Blood - and I am totally fed up with the hornets nest Morris has stained the stratosphere with. He is a yarn spinner who would only get a kick on a real footy field if someone kicked his backside. Suddenly the Demonland World erupts into more spin on how Goodwin is no good, the whole club is no good, then the inevitable Schache, Billings, Grundy, Macadam, Draft pick fiasco, Stafford, Recruiting Officer Whinge Fest erupts. Yes, this is the best example in Lilliputia, I mean Australia, where the theory of 'Society of the Spectacle' - and he ain't writing about framed things called Glasses - by Guy Debord is manifest. 

I finish with a quote from my wife, the much-published writer: 

 

Petraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaca!

This whole issue can be sorted 

Get in the room and thrash it all out, total honesty from all sides. A lot of this stems from last year, although not all of it 

Get in the room and eye ball each other

This is what happened yesterdy

I watched On The Couch this morning and was also pleasantly surprised by Gaz’s show of concern and love for MFC, I can see why it rattled a few on here. I noticed that Bucks and Brownie looked happy to see him go on the charge regarding Tracc and Jack. If there was ever a more pertinent time for Gaz to stand up for his club it was now and stand up he did. He offered some sage advice to the club to get around Christian and thrash it out and make it work and then offered the observation that Jack Viney is Red and Blue from the top of his head to the tips of his toes and that he will be staying. So I hope that the club hear him as he is sending a strong clear message and at the same time trying to straighten up the ship so that we can look forward to a much better and united 2025. Thanks Garry Lyon.❤️💙

I must have watched something different..

There was nothing brilliant or inspiring what Garry said.

He went a bit silly and nuffy with the whole keep him for 3 years then trade him to Tassie.. seriously?

He'll be 32 by then and there is absolutely no way any club would be giving up first round picks for anyone at that age.

I'm a Garry fan but that wasn't his finest nor is this thread either 

Did you see Buckley's face when he started c**ping on about Tassie?

Demonland is a wild pastiche of Melrose Place, Downtown Abbey and I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here. Your wife couldn't make half this chite up @Monbon.

  • There have been some great speeches over the journey. “The Sermon on the Mount” by Jesus Christ (c. 30 AD), “The Citizen of the World Speech” by Socrates (399 BC), “The Quit India Speech” by Mahatma Gandhi (1942) are no doubt in the top 10.

  • Know where I can get a transcript of the sermon on the mount speech? - I'm sure there's a few versions out there.

Yep, Give Lyon a little bit (lot) more credit than the 'intellectually absent" he has to work with. 

That said i'm sort of pleased about the dissatisfaction of how and why we are out of the eight.

Loss of players. Draw from hell. Fair bit of quid pro quo. etc

Slight aside but the most exciting comment from last nights show was the tid bit that Oliver may be going overseas for a high performance training camp this off season. Clearly determined to get back to his best.

The whole club should be going

I think the timing was also very poor. Everyone allready getting the boots into Melbourne about Clarry, then Trac.  The Todd at North angle also probably also added credibility and made it even more of a story.  I'd be filthy on Clarko if I were Todd, even though maybe it might have resulted in a few more $K being thrown Jack's way just to be sure and perhaps get the deal done quicker.

Love Gary's defence of our club.  I'll take Gary Lyon over David Schwartz post retirement any day.  David is always banging on in his criticism of our club, even though from what I gather of his influence on club culture was probably a contributor to us never snagging one in that era when we had so much talent.  So glad it was Gary got to hand over the cup to Gawn and Goodwin.  I think he walks the line between objective media outsider, club great and passionate supporter pretty well really.

The other thing that riles me so much about this whole Trac injury saga is how Scott free Darcey Moore and the AFL have got off on this.

Protecting the head is well understood and is know a given, but we've now seen several players seriously injured through knees driven wrecklessly into others with careless abandon.  It's not a football action and it should be outlawed, just the same as sling takles and head high bumps.  If you carelessly throw your body parts at another player that could be reasonably foreseen it could cause injury - suspension, easy.  Chol on Steven May was similar.

Trac's mum needs to go and tell Moore's mum, that if he ever does that to her son again, she's going to deck him.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
