Another whinge on a player that the rules were never it place but yet we can still select him in the draft because draft experts so far dont even rate him top 30. If we rate him and he's there at our first pick then I'll trust Jason Taylor on whatever he decides.

Really? Didnt even spot him once? They had Johnson and Campbell rucking swapping in t he ruck the whole second half.

Verrall pretty much got subbed after half time. Read on twitter he was sat at the back of the bench the whole second half.

Think you will find that Culley will just remain on the rookie list instead of being upgraded.

Schache makes them both play like Glen Archer.

Fullarton is by far the weakest footballer i have ever seen.

God that was rubbish disposal by Brown. Delist

Jai Culley will be an absolute gun. Clean full pre season and who knows with him.

Pretty sure they have already started

Game over. They have zero composure.

Not after tonight's ****ful display.

We weren't heavily linked. Yes Peatling didnt come, but where does it state that it was because of the Petracca fiasco? Had nothing to do with the significant offers from other clubs yeah? AFL.com reporter Cal Twomey added that the race for Peatling is down to three; GWS, Adelaide or the Western Bulldogs. I didnt condemned Petracca's behavior. If anything i supported his stance on the club and feared he was going to get traded. He demanded excellences and an improved environment on elite standards. Something Oliver failed to do for the best part of two years. On Oliver last year, i was ready to sign his release papers quick smart.

You keep changing lanes. You made a pretty blunt statement by stating "And player managers were flat out refusing to speak to Tim Lamb last year." You think I am meant to know exactly what that means when you didnt add any further context to it? I questioned it and you responded with "oh but cant say anything" if you cant cant put it out there then simply dont say anything for starters.. I mean, once again, im still waiting for the part where player managers were flat out refusing to speak to Tim Lamb and other opposition players refused to come to the club because of the off field mess. Houston and who else?

That answers nothing about player managers refusing to speak to a list manager of an AFL club. I have never once seen this ever reported in any media outlet whether its with Melbourne or a different club. Its completely unheard of and utterly unprofessional considering player managers look after a range of players at each club. A player manager might have a star player going through issues with the club which they'll work through the club in dealing with that. But in a separate matter, that same player manager would be negotiating a contract extension for a separate player in that exact same time.

Where did it suggest that Peatling pulled out due to the range of issues at the club? I haven't read anything to suggest otherwise and pretty sure he had a stronger pull to Adelaide then Melbourne the city. He was never strongly linked in the same vein as what Houston was. I also find it pretty extreme if players manager refused to speak to Tim Lamb from a professional perspective but also having a range of players at our club that Lamb would have to negotiate contracts with all player manager. Can you provide the facts or a link to this actually happening?

Never would we see the day me going into bat for @Ghostwriter but she is 100% correct regarding Max. What is portrayed in the media is completely different to the Max Gawn behind close doors. I can understand why she wont let out too much on this because yes, majority wont either like what they read or refuse to believe that Max actually has flaws as a captain and a person. Then there is the fear of backlash that @rpfc because God forbid if we can ever question the ever so perfect gawn. I've spoken to two current palyers at the same time about this last off season when they were back home during the Christmas break. We discussed all the issues that the club went through and some if the things about Gawn were very interesting to hear indeed. Max has been given too much leeway in calling the shots at the club and not stayed in his own lane. Unfortunately when you have someone like Goodwin who was far too close to the players and wasn't willing to pull players up and set a few egos on track then of course there is player disconnect. Hopefully someone like a Buckley with a completely clean slate will change all of this.

Dan Houston pulling out because of trac is the best thing that has happened to this club. With Houstan, we have no Lindsay or Langford.

Hopefully Buckley can come in and put a few ego's back in check. Gawn being one.

Haha that group is a [censored] Admin is none other then Lord Nev that use to stink this joint up with his constant rubbish and lies. He'll steal content and claim it as his own so be mindful what you believe on his page.

Agree, Reiwoldt is a shocking media performer and I too have stopped watching OTC since that [censored] has been on that show.

Roos would have no insight into the current set up at Melbourne. A lot of the people he would have known in his time have have left since. Considering he pretty much lives in Hawaii now days, he like most of us are just playing the guessing game.

She can say all she wants, but i can 100% guarantee you that Buckley would not given even give two thoughts or even blink at what Caro has been saying about him lately. He's clearly part of the coaching process and has agreed to do so. So that to me clearly says that Buckley has a real interest in the Melbourne job.
