I think this is a bit of a cop out excuse though mate. I'm not directing this at you directly as I have seen this from a few others and you actually attended on the day. Simply not attending due to purely on the stadium or the times slot of the game is just picking and choosing when it suits. We have 60k+ of members and yet probably had about 8k Melbourne supporters turned up on Saturday. I'd understand if we are going poorly but we are coming off a premiership year, record membership numbers, best financial stability thr club has ever seen and currently are now 10 wins in a row. Yet to have only 13k turn really is [censored] poor. I can see why opposition supporters still see us as weak minded supporters for picking and choosing to turn up.

Can go from 1 week to 3. Will depend on the absolute severity. Could easily wear protective guard underneath.

Nothing wrong with it lol. Good on him, backs it up with his footy and we need more characters like him in the game. Loved it.

Bizarre that demonland have allowed Olisik back again..

Still not good enough. We have 60k members and yet could only bring in 13k for today. I made the 4 1/2 trip down to watch the game and the atmosphere was pathetic.

Kynan Brown and Noah Yze are currently with the Oakleigh Chargers squad as under-age players. Kalani White is a potential talented prospect up in QLD. Currently plays for Broabeach Cats under 16's. Has just been selected for state representative game in his age group. One of James McDonald's boys are now at an age where they'll be coming through the junior system. The McDonald have moved up to near Albury here and I'll no doubt keep an eye out for young junior coming through the ranks.

Stuck to my word. Microwaved my phone after cutting it in half.

We were in cruise control the whole game. I had no worries throughout the game and was just waiting for us to put a foot down. Players knew it also and were just wanting to bank the win and move on. We could have won by more had it been for accurate kicking but it is what it is. Really big test next week. Hope Viney and Langdon are good to go. A few players are out of form which is a bit concerning..

His influence isn't there as it was last year. He's doing a lot of goal kicking practice with Yze so it's not like he's not actually doing nothing about it. Coming up to a few hard games coming up so I'd like to see him at least hit a bit of form soon.

Melksham lol. Explain after today's performance that justify him being selected next week or even for the rest of the year. Forget the 200 games, his form alone on today's performance was stock standard Melk of the last 2 years. 7 disposals and 1 tackle. I would have rather Bailey Laurie with those numbers knowing he's getting a taste of AFL action. For team selection it's got to be a team balance. If Viney is fit then it might have to be Dunstan who I thought was pretty good bar a few sloppy disposals. I'm banking that Langdon will be right to go and Melksham goes out.

Lol typical Melbourne.

There's having views then there's this garbage there you tend to spew out half the time. Aaron Naughton being overrated is up there being one of the funniest things I've read on here.

Yes but let's not that get in a good way of a rosy red and blue glasses.. If Naughton was in Melbourne jumper and making this kind of impact at the Dees people like ucanchoose would be hailing him the next Wayne Carey.. Naughton is a star and would make our forward line significantly better in a whole new level. He actually would have someone else to take the heat off him like Ben Brown unlike at the Dogs where he's copping the best defender each week and having zero support from the other forwards. Kicked 47 goals as a 21 year old last year and has already kicked 22. He's well on his way to kicking 50 plus this year.

I believe Ox son has gone down the basketball path and is apparently very good at it also.

Jesus you lads I'm on a roll here... Nah I'll just microwave instead.

Neitz was a 191cm..

Cutting up my membership if we don't win by 10+ goals.

Fremantle are the dark horse for me purely on their defence which is rated pretty much similar to us. If they can get Fyfe back and playing string footy then sky's the limit with the dockers.

I just think their game plan is very similar to the Dogs of last year. All gun and blazing but their defence is a lot to be desired. If we are able to match them in the contested footy like Sydney did in the 2nd half then I'd back our troops to win Their midfield really went to water once Sydney heaped pressure on them in the 2nd half.

It really is a pity we don't play them until round 22. Taking advantage on their complete folding like deck chairs in the second half would be sweet to watch.

Go swans!

General public seem to think so. Games are [censored] to watch and over umpired. May not be the full extent but its certainly right up there.

Their defence is super shaky.

16% drop in crowd number since 2019 if you take out covid. Blue supporters coming out of the wood work this year.
