Gawn points out he was mic’d up for all three games that were filmed, which is the kind of exclusive behind-the-scenes action he enjoyed in Drive to Survive....“It helps the AFL to share our story globally. And Melbourne Football Club’s forever trying to gain more fans and more sponsors, too.”

Surely with this massive exposure, we finally hit 100k members within the next couple of years

Did we get paid to do this, or did some lunatic sign up thinking last season was going to be a heartwarming redemption story?

I'd like to withdraw 51% of my objections after finding out they were only filming post-Goodwin. Imagine the content if Gawn was mic'ed up during the St Kilda debacle.

I've been dining out because 🤡 coaching failures are long & extensive.

Wasted the best list in my lifetime.

Totally stuffed 2017.

Wasted 2019 & 2020.

Straight set exit in 2022 & 2023.

So 2 good years out of 9 is a pretty bleak return so I'll be dining for a while.

Agree a million %

I'd rather not imagine that

He was probably silent and shell shocked like the rest of the leaders in that last quarter

Less than 8% of the whole show dedicated to us. 12 lousy minutes. Unwatchable and contrived
