The two most out of form teams in the 8 play each other 2nd Vs 5th Clarry is going to go nuts. 40 and 2

I hope Goody has on the whiteboard: They kicked 12 goals to our 1 in the 2nd half in round 11 on our home ground time for payback

3 clubs chasing Kozzi.... Any of them caught him yet?!

I'm SO PUMPED for the game! Freo play a similar brand to us, should be a cracking contest. Send Viney to Andy Brayshaw, he is their barometer in the middle We are playing 5 Half back flankers so our rebound should be strong!! 😂

JJ and Langers are in for a tough night. who gets the 'paddock' wing? wear screw-ins lads! or maybe don't, might lead to more injuries?

Lookin good! how are you going to entertain yourself for 10 hours??! maybe try to turn off the hot water in the home dressing rooms

Agreed, there is a lot of optimism in the air now. We remember MFC is the best place to be and a player well within his rights to leave, being played out of position, weighed up his options and decided he wanted to stay for less money Thinking on the cynical side - if the last 2 weeks was an orchestrated PR move, it was handled very well. create doubt, media buzz, then the big surprise news that maybe wasn't a surprise internally

Angus accepted "much less" to stay at melbourne. Can you imagine him lining up for the bombers or Cats next year? dead set i'd spew. Onya Gussy!!

I’m bizarrely confident about tonight’s game although I could sleep much. Only 14 hours til first (recalled) bounce! 😬🤪

Give them the old Heave Ho!

I reckon we will look at any talls available, def/fwd/ruck. Based on the below we need two rucks, one to develop and one to play 2nd ruck who can play fwd. And we need 2 fwds. If we cannot land quality fwds, we may need to recruit a tall back and look to play Petty fwd We have B Brown (injury and age an issue) T Mac (injury and age an issue) Weideman (depth only, not best 22) M Brown - delist JVR - young kid, got potential May (quality but 31yo starting next season) Lever (quality and only 26) Petty (quality and only 22) Tomlinson (good defensive depth) Turner (young kid, got potential) Gawn (GOAT but 31yo at season start 2023) Jackson - may not be at the club

Replacing turf and then rain before the turf has set in, doesnt sound good No injuries please!!!

He is a good quality half back. I think he is quick and can kick But not exactly a key need for us

8 defenders is interesting. Gus unlikely to move off HB Is Hunt a chance a play fwd? or even Petty? Taberner and Lobb could be handled with Petty maybe

I wouldn’t say it matters I’m just curious

He’s a solid bloke our Gus do we have any idea what the new deal is? I’d guess around $600?

On ya GUSSY! A true clubman. I knew the talk about ego and being money hungry was just BS. Hopefully us fans will not believe the media BS and trust our players next time

He would be crazy to go to that wasteland

I already listened to it. Answered questions openly. Said he is not close to a decision which is his absolute right. The rest is your guess work/media rubbish

Some character assassination of Angus on here without any basis. What exactly has changed since 2 weeks ago aside from the media focus?? before people start saying how big his ego is or all he cares about is money, maybe have something to back it up. All that has happened is he is taking his time to sign a contract while playing great football

Wanted- Demonland Psychologist We won the Flag and some of us and still not happy. Please help!

Is this opinion or you have the inside word on this? asking as you have had some good info in the past

I like your optimism but we’ve won 3 out of our last 8 and I don’t think we’ve been robbed in any of those.

Good thread. Expectations rise so much after wining the flag and then being 10-0. Will we go 2022 unbeaten the media ask? then we go 3-5 and our whole season is up in the air. I have certainly not felt the emotional highs of other years - even the bad years when a win felt so good as it was unexpected. And there have been very few games where I could relax and enjoy the win. But looking back over the year, you have to think how lucky you are to see Clarry, Trac and the gang each week. I used to lament us never having a champion midfielder and now we have two genuine stars

Good to get another Friday night game, should be a cracker Much prefer having a good hit out against a quality team with the pre-finals bye rather than WC at home.
