She's insane at the body. Needs to learn to control it but gee whiz. And I felt bad for her with the 50 she gave. Clearly didn't know and was trying to give the ball to the ump.

Great win against pretty good opposition at their home ground. Well done Ladies!

I'm not convinced TMac will be included. I remember him saying he didn't enjoy being a part of the leadership group under Roos.

Maybe they plan to announce it as part of the doco?

Quick, get Perty on the injury list!

Pruess has torn the meniscus in his knee. Misses the next 8-10 weeks of training. God I hope Max is right for round one https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/562587

All that build up for 11 minutes? That should have been the teaser! (Yes, I know there's more to come. Not chuffed about waiting another week for another 11 minutes)

I wouldn't say I find it hard to watch, but I can understand why others do. I still look forward to it and as a Dad to two girls (and a boy) I'll be encouraging them to watch it as much as possible.

I get that some people don't enjoy the spectacle. You're one and that's fine. It's your right to have that opinion. I do enjoy it, but I can still acknowledge it lacks the quality of the men's comp. And I don't think it will improve dramatically until the AFL buy in completely. These ladies aren't professionals. They have shorter preseasons which, due to work commitments, involve a few hours at the club a week. They play 8 games (I think) plus finals and then go back to their respective state leagues where, again, their training is limited by work commitments. Until the AFL commits to a full pre-season and season with professional players and coaches, I think the quality will continue to be an issue for people. It's not for me, but I've never expected it to be at or near the level of the men's comp. Some people might argue they don't deserve to be paid a professional wage or don't pull their own weight yet until the quality picks up further, but I don't see how it would without players having the time and resources to work at it full time.

It's not really something you can see but I'd think she was pivotal to our setting up behind the ball, especially in the 4th. Assuming that is as big a consideration to her playing there as providing drive off half back.

Really important win, given our injuries and the opponent. Hopefully sets us up for a good season.

A fit Viney and AVB alongside a fitter Trac and unhampered Oliver ?

Cornes also rated the May trade as the 2nd worst trade in the last 3 years, before Gibbs, Lachie Weller and Beames. https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/theyd-like-to-have-that-one-back-cornes-names-worst-five-trades-of-last-three-years/news-story/1c2999e89c1c4b901ea8be2b3ebd8806

Jetta Harmes viney Gawn

No pre-season camp next year, that's for sure

Wasn't he the bloke that got called out by Reiwoldt? Gave the results of the scan before he'd even had it? And then just went with "I trust my sources"

Are we expecting a Captaincy announcement after this? Surely they'll do the voting up there, if they haven't already.

Nice of hunt to leave Viney open for that. Had the chance to shepherd but was too busy calling for a handball Viney wasnt in a position to give ?‍♂️

Pretty sure it's Chandler, and lockhart in the first photo, not bedford

I looked today. There are 2 and a bit pages of them on the demon shop website.

Saw an Instagram post with Gawn, Viney and Lever training together outside official training. My first thought - "Is that the leadership group?"

Beautiful! Should be enough room for the new training oval and social club!

He's super tough and his pressure is off the charts, which we desperately need. But from memory, his kicking is very iffy.
