Great signing!

It's funny, because I use to actually get you both confused with one another. Both of you were as simple as a dead lettuce leaf. I suppose every club has one...

Is that argument valid with Brisbane losing their number 1 ruckman in Oscar Mcinerney early on the 2nd quarter in last year's preliminary final and yet Brisbane still found a way as underdog to beat Geelong? Or does that lense only suit when we have our red and blue glasses firmly tight. Morale of the story is good teams still find ways to overcome adversity and win crucial moments. You say the players were shellshocked? Well that to me sums us up the psychological issue of the players if they couldn't put that aside for two hours and focus on the game on hand. You know what lost us the game against Collingwood 'Red'? It had absolutely nothing to do with the fact Brayshaw was out. it was this 👇 We completely outscored them in the 2nd half. The point is, is that we had ample of opportunities to win the game on hand well past the fact that Gus was out of the game. Yet for some reason this is hard for @Previously known as LITD. to comprehend.

Delusional. Finishing 4th is completely different to saying we were close to a 3 peat mate. You have Once you finish top 4, finals is a completely different season and the staked go higher then a normal season. I have zero care factor on the players played their little hearts out. This game is based off results. No one ever remembers players from a losing finals teams. So realistically, its completely irrelevant. Weak excuses. What were Brisbanes excuse this year and last when they were hit with lengthy injuries to some of their quality players.

I miss him...

2022 we were cooked. We weren't even close. Goody [censored] that year big time by not managing players throughout the year when they were clearly sore and gassed and it bit us in the [censored] come finals. 2023 we couldn't even get the basics right and kick straight. You can pretend we were close but reality is we weren't. We played like a team that got caught up in the moment once the heat was applied to us.

Came incredibly close to winning 3 in a row!? Haha what planet were you on at the time mate? we were not even close, at all. Couldn't even win another final let alone winning 2 finals in a row just to get to another grand final. Talk about massive overreaction.

The guy is a genuine sook because once again he would have had to be sat down and told to pull his head in like he has a hundred times over his career The guy will never learn, thank God he's GWS problem child to look after.

Haha laughable. Even with those guys playing Daicos still gets the number 1 tag and performs at an incredibly high level. What difference does it makes if they retire. Hate Collingwood all we want, but the guy is a dead set star and its scary what hes achieved so far at his age.

Ha. He wouldn't even be in my top 3 of best Melbourne captains I have seen in my time supporting the Dees. Garry Lyon David Neitz Nathan Jones Max is an absolute champion footballer in every aspect from an on-field work. But that doesn't automatically mean you are a great leader, and Max aint a great leader.

Really? I personally cringe when Max speaks publicly to be honest. Each to their own.

Albury lad represent! Well done disco.

Never rated Max as a skipper and still dont. In saying that, I think he will do one more year and then hand the bat over. Daniel Turner would be my next pick, but keep an eye out for Xavier Lindsay over the next few years. Rated internally highly for his leadership qualities at such a young age.

I agree that it is aimed rurally and local audiences, but as other have said, 4:10 on a Friday afternoon is just weird scheduling really. Had it been on a Saturday then yes, people outside of the area like myself could make a day of it. Oh well, cant please everyone i suppose.

Got a bit of a sad story on Tassie. I know an ex player really well from the Daniher era. We got talking about the past players club that is quiet big now within AFL circles and the fantastic job Rod Grinter has done in creating that to what it is now. Unfortunately it started because word had gotten around that 'Tassie' has been pretty ill for the last couple of years to the point where he had to have a leg amputated. There was some pretty horrific ex VFL injuries that were still giving him grief even after so many years on from his playing days. Not only that, he was living in an old commission home up on the coast with his wife being his main carer giver with little to no support. No support or help from the AFLPA, so the past player decided to raise some money and help Tassie and his wife Lyn out with medical expenses as well as equipment and other general items. Pretty said for such a legend of the footy club.

How did Riley Onley train?

Well its been confirmed that he will be missing the first 12 games if the year. They can easily place him on the inactive list from here on as it would be considered a long term injury especially if they want to be extra cautious and give him more time off or even the full 12 months.

As in copped a bake at training today?

Wonder if this potentially opens up a SPP spot for Boweys injury.
