If we were Carlton we’d get 6

Agree on the sample size, but I think the point is still relevant. Many would think we would be cactus without gawn but the stats don’t seem to suggest that. At the end of the day I don’t think we need 4 ruckman.

Last 3 years: Melb 69 Games for 33wins and 36 losses = 47.8% wins With Gawn playing 59 games for 27wins and 32 losses = 45.7% wins Without Gawn 10 games for 6 wins and 4 losses = 60% wins Given we have an excellent backup option already, plus a backup to the backup. And given our win loss ratio is better when gawn doesn’t play. Not sure a backup to the backup to the backup is required.

Then we sack the club and start a new one from scratch

Love this move, we all want the club to be brave and creative, well here it is! BOOM Also, somebody on trade radio said north may be looking to bottom out as have been mid table for a while. This may be one way they do that whilst improving their position next year to bounce.

For sure, didn’t think about that. Hell make it three first rounders! PS For what it’s worth, I don’t want him to go

Surely 2 first rounders give he played more games than Lever? jokes

Frosty is 194cm

Being told it’s another 4-6 week injury

Other than height I made no comparisons between the two and their respective abilities.

Not sure why we would delist a player who is contracted for next year? We would have to pay out his contract meaning it’s still in the salary cap, he’s ahead of other guys still on the list so if like this year we have injuries we have to select a player that is not as good as him, and if we get rid of him we have to find another player to go on the list who may or may not be better than him. I think the best option is for us is to attempt to develop him into the player we need him to be. Caleb Daniel is an example of a guy of similar stature (Charlie is actually 5cm taller) who has found a niche and I would think it would be in our best interests to work with Charlie to find his best role.

How easy it is to injure a Melbourne player....

Coming from GC to Melbourne I underestimated how much fitter I needed to be - Stephen May

Streaming down the middle of the ground, team mate 20m in the clear inside 50, the kick and.....

I was hearing it from somebody close to him around round 8

Looks like we’ve got us an outside mid: https://www.sen.com.au/news/2019/08/27/report-victorian-club-wins-race-for-in-demand-docker https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/fremantle-midfielder-ed-langdon-settles-on-melbourne-as-his-club-of-choice-ahead-of-trade-move/news-story/d82f71166d16bbf7f025104ba6d7a9b4

Just saw Brayshaw and Frosty in Elwood, both look very low key today.

We could just use Hawks: - Dynamic: Will will be amazing in patches and horrendous in others, you will never know what to expect - Respectful: We will respect the right of opposition teams to pull apart our game plan at will and never shall we waver in our belief that we need more inside mids - Selfless: Every other club comes first - Supportive: When our supporters are loosing their mind due to our on field performance, we will empathize with you and tell you we are hurting to - Relentless: We will handball at every opportunity and will relentlessly put our own under pressure

TBH I thoroughly enjoyed the game today. Thought we worked hard for most of the game and really enjoyed seeing players in logical positions. Disappointed with losing how we did but hey, life goes on.

FMD if ever there was a moment where you kick down the line, instead you kick it straight to their bloke standing by himself on the centre of the ground ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️

MAAAAXXXXXYYYYY!

Going 35% efficiency by foot this quarter to norths 65%

STOP WATCHING YOUR MOZZING US!

Umpire extremely reluctant to pay that to Lewis despite it being identical to the one he paid the other way with glee 20 seconds earlier

Brayshaw need to use his eyes to see if where he intends on hand balling it, we actually have a teammate
