Why would we be loading already? We aren't. It didn't start last year until after the bye. These losses aren't coming at the same time as last year, bar the Adelaide game. This time last year, we were pumping the dogs and knocking off Brisbane. We simply have no key forward depth, and with Tmac out for the rest of the year (apparently), we are in serious [censored].

It'll be pretty obvious if he doesn't play in the curtain raiser, you'd think.

We lost to both GWS and Doggies last year. Both made finals. It was a bad showing, and we were due for one. Pity it was against a good side but at least the 'when will melbourne lose a game' [censored] is over. Trac must be injured.

Forward pressure non existent. Trac must be injured. Spargo is not a winger. Really disappointing performance

Midfield being shown up. Rucks getting smashed by Darcy. Sorely missing May

The problem from a contract point of view is we will essentially be asking Gus to take a pay cut. His last contract was after his bumper 2018. He would be on good dollar that we probably can't match. I don't blame him putting off talks to play some good footy to boost his value as high as he can. And he is playing some great footy.

Yep, they consistently refer to him as the best looking bloke at the club (If not the AFL)

I think we'll find out once the CBA has been signed. Post that, there isn't much reason for a delay.

Yep, I hate it. Jones was stupid for getting sucked in but it's a bad look. I thought he was actually going to properly remonstrate and then oh, down he goes.

Would love to announce it as we get ready to play WC in Perth. Long term deal would be even better #hesnotcoming

I always thought he was a Rafa clone

Bill Laurie a chance for a debut?

Casey v Box Hill at this stage...

Is he out with concussion?

And ready for an ODI 5 days after installation. Wowsa

Yze said in his presser today they were positive

If that's the case, you'd think it's Tmac, Melky and lever back with Chandler as the sub.

Even Hardwick said most of them were there and they have to have better tackling technique.

It sounds like they may not, if Amazon get the Thursday Game. The real kicker will be when these companies stop people sharing subscriptions across households. Netflix has already lost subscribers for the first time, and expect to lose another 2m this qtr. Services won't fork out money for the games without expecting people to pay more than they are at the moment.

They also played a game against the Dees in round 3. Kozzie lit up Manuka that night

Just checked the ladder. If Carlton lose, we will be the only undefeated side, unlike last year where it took a while to separate from the pack. Seems like the field is fairly even below us.
