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.

I get the disappointment, but some of the comments here are way over the top. First, the Board is negotiating with Government. They cannot simply keep us updated on "where things are at" or tell us "what has gone wrong". That's a sure way to get nothing from Government. Second, the calls for Roffey or the Board to resign are wild. The club has never been as stable as it is right now. And people here want them to resign?! For what?! So the next people can come in, risk instability, and still not get it done like every board before them? No thanks. We are all disappointed, but no way would I risk the current state of the club to take a punt on a new board that claims they can "get it sorted". We're in a premiership window, nothing should be done that could jeopardise the chance of more premierships in the coming years (including destabilising the Board).

N54. Happy enough with that. Didn't want to push my luck seeing what else was available.

How long should I expect to wait? Joined queue at about 9:50am - but have a meeting soon!

He was fined. Gotta read the full MRP report.

Even if he does re-sign with us, this lengthy affair will leave a sour taste in my mouth. Especially given how the team is performing. It's obviously unfair to pin the whole team performance on Gus' contract negotiations, but it would be hard not to see this as yet another example of the apparent decline in our selfless and team-first mentality. If he does leave, we would get an average compensation pick at best.

I hate this constant trade talk in season. Especially on the eve of finals.

I only hope we can get 1-2 forwards who can take a contested mark. We'd be unstoppable if we picked McKay or Curnow instead of Weiderman in that draft!

FYI

IMO it's only a matter of time until footage leaks. I would be shocked if there isn't footage from someone

What the [censored] happened to this club all of a sudden. It's not the losses. Something has been off for over a month.

Petracca needs to be pulled from all media commitments to concentrate on his footy. What a rubbish thing to say. Even if there is some truth to it, it's a brain-dead thing for a senior player to say (or any player) on radio.
