How do we think Petracca is viewed within the playing group? I get the sense he isn’t well liked by the playing group. Not sure if that is since he tried to leave last year or whether it’s been going on longer. I don’t like to read too much into social media posts etc, but I have noticed over the past year or so that Petracca doesn’t post much about other players. latest example being Gawn and Kozi being named in the AA Team. Most of the team reposted the MFC posts about this. Silence from Petracca. For a prolific social media user and one of the higher profile players on the team, it seems odd. I’ve noticed this a number of times this year.

Isn’t this a MCC issue?

Why would the club publicly release this information?

Honestly, just some forwards (or even just one) that can take a contested mark consistently.

It's laughable that Jack Crisp could be crowned player of the finals having played in two finals losses. Of course the loading should help a Sydney or Geelong player take the lead, but the leading Swans/Cats are a fair way back as it stands.

These players aren’t just nominating clubs out of the blue. There has been months of discussions behind the scenes. Quite simply, they don’t nominate us because we aren’t interested in them and/or we don’t have cap space for them. If we were constantly being reported as being in the hunt for players and missing out… then that would be a different story. But I haven’t seen that reported anywhere.

His two shots from the boundary in the EF were vintage Reiwoldt. He is still better than most of our forward options

Depends how desperate Collingwood are to dump salary. They have a few trade targets and have increased their De Goey offer, so that should help.

You are a couple of weeks too late. Pretty sure the club sold a limited number of these a few weeks ago. Though perhaps you were looking for actual stuff from back then? That may be harder to find anything in decent condition that people are willing to let go.

People commenting on crowd noise need to include a disclaimer if they were not there. Comments like “Sydney crowd seemed louder” just sounds like you were not there and have NFI.

~78k It was a very Melbourne heavy crowd, but the crowd goes quiet when the team is playing badly and not kicking goals. Thought the crowd was good tbh.

It is concerning how much work our forward line needs. Fritsch, McDonald (for a couple more years), and Kozi are fine. But beyond that, I’d happily lose the rest that played tonight. Brown is a massive liability. Especially if he gets anywhere near a loose ball in the middle of the ground. Max seems to get worse by the week at set shots.

Happened in 2020…

Is Buddy out? Someone tells me he’s out with a sore calf. Can’t see anything about it.

She can big note herself all she likes if the board remains stable and club continues to be successful.
