Kynan Brown turns it over again... I reckon he has cracked double figures! He may as well be playing for GC -
Verrall is a better ruckman than Fullarton! If Fullarton is going to make it, it will be as a utility/forward. He has athleticism and quite clean ball handling.

Can't defend Schache anymore!

K Brown has become a turnover King!

... and you're basing that view on what Morris has said, right? So, Petracca feels strongly that... a) the Club let him down when he suffered his serious injury, b) an individual, or individuals at the club are to blame for our fall from grace, c) another Club has more to offer than MFC I don't believe you!

Here's some truth for you! Smugness is a quality best left to those who have delusions of superiority.

This year I have stopped listening to SEN and stopped watching 360 and On The Couch due to the continued 'pile on' directed at MFC. Prior to this, I listened to SEN religiously each morning and on my way to and from work. I was also a nightly viewer of Foxtel footy offerings. I think, over time, these productions will lose rusted on supporters as they tire of the current 'club in crisis' approach to gaining an audience. As ratings fall, so will the shows. We can only hope!

While Christian is yet to front the Media on his concerns with the current state of affairs, it might be of interest to reflect on his press conference after last year's SF. SF | Media Conference | Christian Petracca (melbournefc.com.au)

I'll have to answer for you... "Sideshow" - a minor or diverting incident or issue, especially one which distracts attention from something more important. Do you think there would be calls for an external review if we were currently sitting 3rd on the ladder? And yet, it is quite clear that we have slipped to our current position because of on-field lapses in the final moments of the games I have referred to previously. For me, the modus operandi of mainstream media is to create an outrage over some individual, event or issue that will attract an audience. Then, to fan the flames with a series of possible connecting factors or public opinions, not always supported by the facts or more in-depth research. The aim is to sell the specific media product; to keep the 'clicks' coming for as long as possible, before moving on to some other 'outrage', some other individual, event or issue that will draw a crowd. Global ridicule of Raygun's Olympic performance is another current example. I was asking whether you were simply fanning the flames!

You're avoiding the question!

"... but the sideshow has popped up again and again" Your words, perhaps you should tell us what YOU mean!

In round 22 we lost by 2 points to PA. In round 20 we lost by two points to GWS. In round 16 we lost by 5 points to Brisbane. You will have to rely on your own memory regarding how those results hinged on flip of the coin moments in the final seconds of the game. Reverse those three losses and MFC would currently be equal 3rd on the ladder! I'm not against the type of review that every team conducts post season and agree wholeheartedly that change is required. I simply aren't buying in to the Culture, Shock-Jock scenario!

Just a reminder... In seasons 2022 & 2023 MFC slipped out of the top 4 for a total of two rounds. That's post our Premiership year. Even in 2024 we have been in the top 4 for 7 rounds. This record has been the envy of every other club. Compare this to the records of Collingwood, Geelong, Richmond, West Coast & Bulldogs, post recent Premierships. Our recent slip from grace is hardly a matter for a 'Royal Commission'. I also note that at least 21 of the current list are signed beyond 2025, add another 9 if you include 2025.

Let's see... if Jefferson is in, who goes out? Melksham? Disco? JVR? Petty? He may get the Sub job... no, not versatile enough!

If you are not already seeing Kossie as a generational talent, something else is filtering your point of view!

I'd rather not!

Hello, could this be Tom Morris... wanting to eek out further drama (therefore more clicks)? Trac, quite clearly, hasn't been silent on this "saga". He is simply selective about who he is sharing his view with, and at the moment it ain't you, Joe!
-
I counted the use of that term... got to two, then I got drawn in to his very professional handling of the Club's position and his complete control of the press conference, so I may have missed one... hardly worthy of a smug comment!

The great Barassi wasn't MLK! Some of his most popular quotes as orator were basic football truths... "Practice makes perfect' is [censored]. Only perfect practice makes perfect." "If we're going to fail then we will fail my way! And my way at the moment is handball!" Ron Barassi to Gary 'Crazy Horse' Cowton: "What is it with you? Is it ignorance or is it apathy?" (Cowton's response: "I don't know and I don't care") Those that harp on about Goodwin harping on are expecting their football coach to be a wordsmith. Its really about how the players receive and respond to the message. By the way... Premierships coaching Melbourne, Goodwin 1, Barassi 0

Potentially!
