The argument of easy draws is on the AFL for the flawed competition

Get ready for Sunday games

Unfortunately we will never know fundamentally what are the issues and what the whole Petracca & Oliver saga, not sure what to make of Goodwin being too involved .. it’s baffling the shift in connection from winning a flag to what’s occurred & if so how a CEO was the issue

We will ever find out what are the issues around culture & what caused the issues with Trac

Questionable game plan, haven’t been able to improve the list with poor trades since 21 & fix our fwd issues, the bungled trade of Grundy & the words he used of how much they valued him only to stop playing him, whose to blame the list mgt team , how much say does he have in the trades? The improvement will need to come from the same list and the younger talent as I can’t see a back up ruck who will keep Fullerton company doing much .. great trade period again

Pert & co have been there since 2018 and I’m sorry many missed opportunities & blinkers on the mcg precinct … Even the swans found a place not far from the scg …. Honestly Caulfield is a pipe dream! Port Melb fishermen bend development was announced years ago and a club port melb ground in need for redevelopment, same theme song successful history… all those warehouses are going around & in fact the council are turning one of them into a sports oval …understanding commercials are complex but which players are attracted to drive 50mins to Casey … nothing against Casey either but were was the thinking behind this with previous boards

Correct, utterly frustrating watching other clubs secure funding whilst watching us go around in circles!

Looking at the time line over the last 25yrs it shows how poorly our administration has performed & going around in circles! The current Pert & co need to be questioned if this falls over! Both hawks & Collingwood found sites outside of their original home grounds and the hawks are onto their 2nd site!

Tick to pick 9 , tick to getting in young talent and sharp is unknown. We definitely have an issue in attracting ready made talent as per Houston comments, when you compare what the other clubs have trading in ..our continue failure to bolster our fwd line & hoping our defenders become fwds..

It’s unbelievable the pies are looking at Membrey whilst we sit in our hands thinking that defenders will become fwds! For last 3 seasons we have traded in zip

Fair point just frustrated why our club appears to be irrelevant

Great trade period watching other clubs secure ready made talent ! Park pic 9 aside not sure Sharp & Campbell re having huge impacts! Zero fwds unbelievable!

Another trade period .. who did we pick up a ruck playing at his 4th club , a winger from the lions, no disrespect to them ..comparing to other clubs we just can’t attract any ready made talent .. great to see our fwd line beefed up

Any chance our club will pick up a forward.. it’s only been an issue since 2022!

When you have only missed finals twice since 07 and won 3 flags it says your culture is good not perfect that’s the difference

Our club should have been targeting Brayshaw to continue the name at our club an A grader & replace Oliver enough is enough

So the circus continues! One player sucks all the oxygen of our club! The same player who didn’t present professionally for preseason & sent home during the Lorne camp! The same player which the club supported him & not dropping him & risking the culture of the club!

So we’re does our improvement come from?? So basically our trades for the past 3 seasons has seen, Hunter retired, Shache delisted, Fullerton & Mccadam can’t get a game, Billing’s only getting games due to injuries. The mess around the handling of Oliver & Trac! It obvious no decent payer wants to come so Who’s to blame for this mess?

That’s my point ..who is responsible & what exactly is going on as it appears they are all disconnected..we’re is the leadership here to get all in one room and start singing from the same hymn book! There are some serious questions on pert & Richardson

By the time we fix our fwd issues .. Gawn, Viney will be retired & trac & Oliver will be gone! Unbelievable sad.. we can’t attract a decent FA & Lamb confirmed we are not a destination club .. well done mfc after 3yrs winning a flag we have found a way to unravel

Another train wreck interview! Showed no confidence in saying we are a destination club and it’s a reflection on no decent free agent deals! You would think after all the noise on Oliver & Trac they would be ready with answers to install confidence! We’re is Richardson & Pert to answer these questions!

Whatever the review raises Green and co need to address the circus club has become … the last 12mths is a joke with the going ons of Oliver, Trac and constant noise enough is enough, either keep these players or trade them!

Are you saying he’s wrong?

Melbourne misses - SEN “The big miss, their past two years of trades,” Josh Jenkins added. “I think they are zip from six. Brodie Grundy, Lachie Hunter, Josh Schache, Jack Billings, Tom Fullarton and Shane McAdam. “They are zip from six on the trade table in the past two years and that has got to be a big miss. Who’s responsible for this & we have signed another ruck Campbell to his 4th club?

Trac hasn’t commented as far as I can see or put up anything re Viney Winning ..is to avoid any backlash from not attending? This is the issue with social media that it just can’t be a one way street to build/push your own brand. Understanding the reasons for his silence also disappointing
