Not gonna repeat this again. Three times is two times too many. In fact not gonna post for a while. [censored] if I’m gonna let anyone insult me when I’m trying my best to relay things as they’re happening while there’s so much else going on. So go ahead and doubt anything or even everything I say.

GW out. 

What on earth?! Nobody has insulted you! I said earlier your training reports are really appreciated.
 

But you railed against misinformation from reporters and were then proven to have been guilty of the exact same thing yourself. I’d have pointed this out to any poster that had done the same thing, nobody is out to get you @Ghostwriter!

    Clearly some details are being left out/mistaken in reports. I encourage all track watchers to use their words carefully. We’re all on edge, injuries are occurring/could occur/may occur/are likely to occur/are occurring in my dreams….I think you get the picture. I’ll be down on the track in the next few weeks. You’ll then have a template for all future reports. It’ll be expected that all track watchers use the new template.  😂

    You think he was faking it? I heard Jacob our Doc asking him a bunch of questions, I heard Shane insist he was fine to go back out, I heard Jacob decide otherwise. I saw Jacob walk him back to the rooms. As he passed by he said, “It’s okay, it’s not an injury, I’m just a bit crook” and he patted his stomach. Maybe the poor bugger reads DL and knows I’ll be on here defending him to the likes of you, PF. 

    Thought I might join the chat. McAdam is highly skilled, with evasive tricks and a good footy IQ. Marks as if he were taller, like Fritta. He's done the work and I look forward to his first game, where he kicks 3 and dishes off a couple.

    Have prescribed vitamins to avoid further injury / illness and a small dose off apotropaic magic to ward of negative DL comments. He'll be fine.

    Really? REALLY?!!! God I hope you’re joking but even if you are joking, it’s not funny. I said he was helped off the field… HELPED not CARRIED. The pics you went to the trouble of posting show exactly that… he was HELPED not CARRIED. Moreover, within a few minutes of these pics being taken he was walking unaided and clearly not in as much pain.

    So I’m either “blind” or have chosen to “share misinformation,” yeah? Wow. Would expect it from certain others, so disappointed to hear it from you. 

    Right now I’m asking myself why I even bother to post on here. 

    I love your reports but sometimes wonder why you bother ..there’s always some posters who seem to hate your insights (maybe plain jealousy) and nit pick but the majority are like me …we appreciate all training reports and insights ..so thank you

    Yeah that's a hammy by the look of it. Like a gunshot to the back of the leg. 

    How bad it is remains to be seen but I feel for the man.

    What are you talking about? Nobody hates insights, nobody has said they don’t appreciate the insights. Nobody has insulted anybody else!
     

    People are just a bit thrown when those “insights” provided are proven to be patently false, that’s all 🤷‍♂️

    Once he got to the sidelines he was slowly able to put some wait through the leg, and the pain seemed to ease slowly.

    We’ll just have to weight and see. Fingers crossed.

    Unfortunately some post what they hope is true, rather than what is true....makes it tough to take much out of the track reports 😪

    Some don't even have the balls to nit pick, they just sit back and wait for one of the other goon squad to do it, then throw in their little passive aggressive reactions to the post.

    It's always the same people and it's always being done to the same person and frankly it is becoming tiresome.

    I wouldn't bother if I was WCW/GW either. I've been around this place for years and have seen many good posters being driven out (in some cases by the same people) for much less.

    'They' 100% do not appreciate the insights. Don't kid yourself.

    There is an established pattern here and it has been going on for ages.  It might seem innocuous on this occasion, but it's definitely there and this is just another instance. Go back and have another read from the perspective of someone who is constantly scrutinised and who has a group of knuckle draggers following them around waiting to jump on any opportunity to undermine or discredit them.  

    [censored] you guys. You know who you are.

    Seriously I just want to discuss and get info about a team that we all love. There's enough social media where things get too personal. Is it really that hard to be civil? Surely nobody came to this place  to upset others.

    Unfortunately this forum is a microcosm of the broader community, albeit skewed male in terms of demographics.

    What we see out there, we see in here- positive and negative.

    And the sad reality is there are plenty of people who enjoy upsetting and winding up other people.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
