Jeez this sums up how poorly run the club is and how much we've been missing proper leadership at all levels. Couldn't write this stuff!

    Have the Work Experience kids been put in charge of the night or something? Seriously this club rarely ceases to disappoint administratively. The Club dragged itself out of mediocrity for brief period with Peter Jackson and Paul Roos and the smooth transfer to Goodwin and brilliantly snaffled a flag in 2021 even as the wheels were falling off at the top end. It’s been a slow motion downward spiral since then.

    Unless informed otherwise we have to assume Richo told Billings prior to the comms team. If Richo told the comms team cannot blame them.

    The media just were not told or were told after deadlines etc??

    Thought Bowsa would’ve finished higher than 4th

    Me too

    I am shocked how well Trac has done so far. He obviously finished top 3.

    Really unexpected.

    "That Salem bloke should be traded. Too slow and doesn't impact games.

    One of our main issues."

    5th best this year at 30yo! Go Salo! Don't listen to the so-called supporters

    Admittedly I have tried to erase this season from memory already but I recall him being excellent for ~14ish games but his last month or two were not as good

    He'll have to get used to being tagged

    Fantastic year, especially coming back from a poor one last year

    Fair question if the socials guy actually knows what a 'memorial trophy' is.

    If you don’t know what a memorial trophy means, please don’t be in charge of running socials for a multi million dollar organization with 60,000+ paying members. FFS!

    He is the victim of his own excellence somewhat

    ave 25 touches whilst playing large chunks fwd. 20 assists, 20 goals, ~4.5 clearances.

    solid year

    I suppose. His kicking has really let him down tho.

    How much is this about bumping his trade value I wonder

    Yes I’m very cynical

    Why are people surprised Trac is finishing high? Everyone heaps [censored] on him because he's not at his peak of being the best player in the league, but he's still a good player and had a good year. He bettered all his main career average stats bar marking and was our best midfielder.

    Talk him down and hate him all you want - he's still better than most running round in red and blue, even at his current level.

    • 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.
