On last seasons evidence one of the worst players i've seen at Melbourne.

Any chance that the [censored] in charge of our player recruiting can get us a player or two. Actually, I'll rephrase 'can get us a player or two who are very good" Claz met with Geelong again today I'm told.

My self imposed exile has concluded. Can someone please share with me the timeframe for Petracca's recovery? ie. Do we know when he is available to resume playing footy? Is he gonna be right for round 1?

Remarkable. I'm done with footy. Farewell Demonlanders.

Yeah emotions may have been a little high at the time of writing. But inadequate, deficient, and pathetic? Ouch! Settle down. You didn't even acknowledge my heartfelt thanks. That should have counted for something. I appreciate Nibbler's efforts at the club. But he is absolutely replaceable. Let's not kid ourselves, and in that sense I'm not going to miss him. That's all I'm saying. Friends?

First quarter was appalling. And the second, and the third and the fourth. We are weak. In the head. In the skills department. In the speed department. We actually do not even know how to play with speed. We can't even think quick. The idea that we play with flair, take the game on, take risks has absolutely been suppressed by goodwins tactics. AFL football's eunuchs. Thanks Nibbler. A heartfelt thanks but, see ya. I for one won't miss you. At all. A bell curve of a career at melbourne for sure. That weekend in Perth in 2021 being the highpoint. [censored] to begin with and [censored] to finish with. Can we never play JVR in the ruck ever again please. Billings is no good. Simple as that. Not cut out for the big league. Dan Nicholson 2.0. In fact whoever is responsible for recruitment. Hang your heads in shame. Billings, McAdam, Fullarton. Schache, [censored] Hunter the little pipsqueak - let those names sink in for a little bit. [censored] for christs sake! [censored] season, [censored] ending. It will get worse too over the summer most likely. Petracca probably wants out.

Spewing. Me and my boys have had so much joy out of giving it the "N...N...N...Niiiiiibbbbllleeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr!" shout out when he pops up and scores, or lays a tackle, or runs his butt off in a chase down. Will most definitely miss that very much. Its a funny one for me. I love his efforts. I used to give him such a hard time in the early days. He's not quick, he can't hit a target very often, and he so often got pinged for holding the pill it was not funny. But he defied it all to be come our beloved...."N...N...N...Niiiiiibbbbllleeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr!"

ie. coaching we're boring. we reflect goodwin. and we're [censored]. ick... fritsch - pathetic tonight. kossie - can't pick the ball up to save himself. hopeless. did chandler play?

goodwin is [censored]

Hi all, can I please ask if anyone could give me a simplistic, approximate run down of what our likely draft picks are this upcoming draft? Whats the deal with Freo's pick/final placing? I know this is not the thread (happy with the changes by the way, would have been bewilderment from me if Petty was back in) but just throwing this little question out there?

Ridiculous. Absolutely not. Smashed it with us. Premiership player. Love him. Good luck to him in Fremantle. He's a gun. And he'll get better.

That was great to watch! I'll never hang [censored] on Viney or T-Mac or Brown like many do. I just can't do it. T-mac shoving that Bulldog off the goal line for I think what was Sparrows 50m goal in the 21 flag - almost my favourite part of that game. He is a servant. A club legend. Forever. Viney has never been the most skilled ever. But he is a beast. Premiership player. Bugger it. I'm not ever throwing shade on any of our premiership players. No matter how they dip in form. The years of pain, oh the years of pain. hahaha. Carn the might dees.!

I loved JW. I'll say it again. You can't fly like an eagle when surrounded by turkeys.

I'm buoyed. Unlikely viewpoint yes, but... Humid, warm conditions, bounce of the ball, ordinary umpiring - just wasn't our night. Having said that I thought we were going to get up all night. Yes I did. We have steel. Brisbane do not. Don't win a flag in round 2. Tough competition.

Was Bailey Laurie subbed out for being injured or otherwise?
