Building quite a band out here, Rif. Welcome.

Gonna need two banners this week, @WalkingCivilWar and you other DA/'Landers?! 😊

Those who have reflected glass-half-full on our several games and close losses against teams firmly in not-mediocre ladder positions might dispute that we are mediocre?

Now has to wait till '28 or '29 for the captaincy. That's torn it...

Enthralling: https://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/1635034/afl-ben-brown-career-reflections?videoId=1635034&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1724140800001 Add your superlatives here... (p.s. I hope ANB gets the same treatment from the Club and here on 'Land, next week. He's capable of response at BBB's level, too. Look forward to it.)

Broke a looooong break from TV footy shows to watch F/C tonight cos maybe some kudos for Saturday. Seemed like the set-up was, 'Here's Melbourne's problems' and the ensuing discussion was, 'Here's Melbourne not having problems'. Back-peddling writ small.

Is this it? https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/dees-can-only-trade-trac-to-one-team/video/05928aef5f9fbf663db1a18e244cba53

Post it someone?

There needs to be a Double Ha Ha emoji.

Get on the Club website to see Ben's farewell and Max's contract extension words. We are lucky to have chosen this Club to support.

He continues as 'Talls Coach' with the women. Not hard to imagine him continuing and advancing in our AFLW program.

Says it all:

👏

Ouch!😄

Carlton, surely? Precedented. (Or, in yet another universe, 'A Judd back to West Coast')

Too much more growth in the apparently mutually comfortable familiarity you have built around the training track this year, @WalkingCivilWar, and we're going to see you named in the forward (note emphasis) pocket! Boot Studder Emeritus is a Walk-up, at least.

Grate (sic) follow-ups to this everybody. I'm surprised, though, no-one has speculated that Trac's issues are over his celery. Or maybe he's still ginger from his injuries?

(to yours, D-c, as representative of several others, and sorry, all, if mentioned elsewhere) Young Ned Moyle, languishing in the Suns Twos, and who doesn't mind productive time in the forward line, evidently, would have seen something he ought to have liked, first hand, on Saturday, in a 'team-and-mentor' package.

Surely someone has something to say? Since 4pm-ish on Saturday? (Footnote: Goody's unambiguous presser statement that keeping Petty, Turner and Van Rooyen together has been a deliberate approach, for '10 weeks', to create what finally blossomed (and is clearly expected/intended to continue to flourish) on Saturday. So, also, Jefferson really does need to kick the door down)

Jack, you ought to collate your Before and After pieces, perhaps with clippings of those little graphic media tipster summaries (e.g. Friday's Age - 0 to 14 against us 😄), somewhere for posterity.

Boys going bananas in the last quarter.

That's cos of everyone's unusually close focus on the *cough* 'football' at the moment.

C**k up! https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1628768/live-stream-port-adelaide-v-melbourne This turns out to be North v Hawthorn! Our game is tomorrow at 11.30!

Bring On The Girls. 🙏
