I was thinking the same thing. One of the reasons McClure gave was that he didn’t like how the Oliver situation was resolved.. Oliver was supposed to be one of his best mates.. so he wanted to just drop him despite all his challenges. Some mate..

I really miss Angus Brayshaw in moments like this. All I keep thinking about is that interview with Gary Lyon post premiership where he was saying, “This is our club”.. 😔

Give me a spell.. There are far too many AFL “journalists”

Imagine if this was all just an elaborate scheme to embarrass Tom Morris..

The fact people are saying we should actually trade Petracca is wild. Wild.

The tragedy is that his white-anting undermines the very improvement he is trying to drive. ie. Dan Houston no longer wanting to come because of all the noise around the club

Seriously this whole thread is a sad indictment on the mindset of large swathes of the Melbourne supporter base.. Tom Morris.. Tom Morris, off all people, throws out an unsourced piece of ambulance chasing “journalism” and such is the desperate despair of the MFC fans, we immediately accept it as fact, reach for our pitchforks and seek to burn the barn down. Get a grip.

I generally agree and want more from sparrow.. I was personally fine with him > Jordan.. if it was a choice. But I still thought he did a good job of quelling Neales influence for a lot of the match..

Gutted.. but I can’t fault the effort at all. Were always going to find it hard to close it out given youth, 6 day break etc.. Would love to kick straight for once, but neither did they so a wash on that front.. still, one goal would’ve been enough in the last. Fan of Moniz.. had a real crack and has some dare about him. Love Kolts attitude.

Gutted.. but, still super proud of the boys. Terrific effort in a really difficult assignment.

Fascinated to see the impact of having lever back.. not a coincidence that our form dropped away when he left the team. Critical for structure and leadership

You’d be heartbroken but so enthusiastic if you were a north supporter.. so much to like in that performance

Have to work out what the hell to do with Oliver.. no idea personally. Seems way underdone

This comment.. offers nothing

Thought we were totally done 5 mins to go… Windsor the two frees that gave them goals at the start… gave them all the momentum

Does that surprise you after spending time on this site?

Ground ball such an issue.. just never one grabbing. Never clean

Fritsch and Kozzy looking for the easy, flashy possession is KILLLING me… What to do about Oliver? Does he go forward..? Can’t play him in the middle right now..

I’m going to refer back to my previous post in the trac injury thread about the desperate pile on the dees… This is pathetic from the AFL media. Pathetic.

See my subsequent post.. I don’t accept that there was a lack of duty of care (ie. appropriate due process was followed)

Don’t get me wrong.. he hasn’t been up to the standard or intensity for ages (when playing).. but geez I could do with some Spargo delivery inside 50

“Ok so it looks like you’ve got broken ribs, are you feeling faint” ”No” ”Are you feeling nauseous” ”No” ”Coughing up any blood, breathing ok” ”No, yep” ”Ok well like I said we think you’ve got broken ribs, it doesn’t seem like there is any other involvement, so it’s up to you. We can give you a jab, but you’ll be very uncomfortable?” ”Understood, I want to try” Tries, fails, gets taken off and sent to hospital. Obviously I have no idea if that was the exchange.. but it seems logical and reasonable, and in my view entirely appropriate.

I’m getting so sick of the desperate pile on the club has been subjected to from everyone outside, and seemingly many others inside the club… the furore around him getting put back on the field is the next example. The AFL community, and especially the media, have been death riding Melbourne since the finals last year.. starting with the exit, continuing with May’s Collingwood comments and for just about every week thereafter. Should Petracca have gone back on? No with hindsight… was a single person saying that when he ran back on? No.. it was, how brave.. Do you really think they would’ve just tapped his chest a few times and said, “you’ll be right son, off you go”. I have no doubt due process was followed, as the club will no doubt be forced in to saying in a statement of reply. Don’t get sucked in by the garbage media commentary.. This is your Dees. Stick by them.
