Josh Mahoney to depart Essendon.
Would have him back tomorrow, he is a great operator and we need his skillset to return.
-
Time to go Goody?
Bergman would be a walk up start but otherwise yes we had more than enough talent to win this game.

Umpiring standard
Option 3 would destroy the aesthetics of the game, just look at VAR in Football/Soccer. If you watch state league football you will notice the depth in umpiring does not exist and the AFL does seem to want to invest the millions required due to other priorities (whatever they happen to be). I would agree returning to 3 umpires and simplifying some interpretations (ie: Deliberate. HTB) would be the best move forward.

POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
We lost because we cannot convert I50, a problem that has been ongoing for the last 3 years. Umpiring was average but this is not on them.
-
The Alice Game
I was at the game and was surprised to see as many St Kilda supporters as dees fans, particularly when it came to merchandise sales too. It seems that after 10 years we have made minimal community impact which is really disappointing. I think it's time to find a new location (country Victoria) or as members pay a little extra.

Value for money he is one of the best trades the club has pulled off.

NON-MFC: Round 12
I think the Big Lady entered when Brisbane ran through there banner, lol.

Geelong to be fined over 3rd party payments
Please tell me this is not fake news???

Jordan Lewis
Unless Brayshaw or Serong have a sudden burning desire to leave Fremantle then its a simple no. Love Jacko but if he does want to return to the Dees, this can be done via a separate trade.
-
Short Boundary Throw Ins
Watch state league football and the standard of Throw Ins is even worse. I think as @binman has touched on during the Demonland Podcasts, there is simply not enough investment into improving the standard of umpiring and encouraging those to pursue it as a career path. And for some reason the media do not want to talk about this?
- WTF – only one game in Melbourne next week?

GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs Sydney
Sydney at the MCG has often been a real banana skin game, hopefully today is not that day.
-
The Soccer thread
Well done to Big Ange but not sure if this result will save his career. My gut tells me Tottenham will be looking for another manager next season.

AFL Betting
There are a lot of things on phones which needs to end, including betting and gaming. If only someone could end Tik Tok as well.
-
POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs Brisbane
Amazing result and peeved off a tonne of Essendon fans at the same time. Perfect weekend :)
-
4th Quarter blues
You can also cannot underestimate mental fatigue particularly as putrid goalkicking does not help the situation.

CLARRY IS NOT A TAGGER
Sadly I dont even know if Clarry knows who he is these days.

Xavier Lindsay- Round 7 Rising Star
Really like this kid as has the Mathew Febey vibe about him (not just in number). Just need to find a few more like him.
-
NON-MFC: Round 07
Pretty average game considering the occasion. I am expecting more from Crows v Freo.
-
Tom Fullarton
I dont want to say he is one of the worse ruckmen I have seen, but sadly he is up there.
-
Noah Balta - Sentencing
I wonder how is curfew relates to games in Victoria given he was sentenced in NSW?
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 06 vs Fremantle
Were already depressed about this season and its only Round 6.
