What other Club Presidents have you heard from lately? John Olsen Andrew Wellington? Luke Sayers? Mark Korda? David Barham? Kylie Watson-Wheeler? Grant McCabe? Andy Gowers? I could go on... and on... and on...

When Barassi left Melbourne, I stayed at Melbourne. Then Barassi came back! Then Barassi left Melbourne again. I stayed at Melbourne! Then Barassi came back and we both celebrated 2021 with a passion!

This is what will happen next… 1 The club will say nothing to be seen here, move along. 2 Christian will indicate that he has had a difficult time of it, and initially he and his family were disgruntled with the way things were handled. 2 Christian will say that these issues have been discussed with the club and all is good! 3 Christian will say he loves the club and he wants to be a one club player 4 The club will release a statement that emphasizes that Christian is a required player and respected leader of the group, who has been earmarked as a future captain. 5 Tom Morris will serve up a grab that reiterates that Christian Petracca would leave the club if he wanted to, but at this stage he doesn’t want to!

This thread needs to be put in a time capsule. When opened in 2525, it will stand as evidence of how the media created moral panic amid once like-minded citizens in 2024! The future analysis will highlight how particular personalities delighted in running with a concept that generated fear within the test group!

Look at how easy it is for Tom Morris to send ‘you’ into a frenzy! Fact check required… then resort to common knowledge!!

Surprise, surprise… no mention of Petracca in the Ch 9 Sports Bulletin. Yet they succeed! Look at how our DLanders have taken the (click)bait! Where is your dignity?

I wonder if Ch9 will actually return to this story in the Sports Report

Get a hold of yourselves DLanders. You should know how the media works by now… Petracca is a future captain of this club, who has a lucrative contract. This is the short summary of what Morris has to say on the issue… “Petracca would leave the club tomorrow if he wanted to”. Get a grip, don’t be on the Media drip!

Billings was equal 8th for possessions when both teams are included and 9th best on the ground for fantasy points. This is a long way from being disgraced. Knockers simply expose themselves as very poor students of the game!

The Billings haters need to open their eyes. He had 23 disposals with 7 marks and 3 tackles. Our 4th highest on the AFL fantasy points… He clearly isn’t the reason we lost!

A lot of rubbish spoken already. A very good effort overall against a top 2 team. We led for most of the game. Billings played his role well! Max was supreme. Kossie was outstanding. Excellent pressure acts by almost every member of the team. I could go on. Disappointing to lose a game we might have won. A few mistakes in the final three minutes was the difference.

Absolute proof that you didn't watch the game closely!

That is way better camera work than the Casey v Brisvegas game!

This!

No, I managed to make comments on players who were doing well, players who were disappointing, the AFL's attitude to the second-tier competition, MFC's attitude to the VFL, the poor camera work & the commentary. Most of that in a 30 minute time span. What have your contributions been, bright eyes?

Its shattering that our own club's attitude to the VFL comp mirrors that of the AFL!

I'm convinced that there is no one on the ONE camera the AFL can afford for it's second tier competition! Its just blowing around on a tripod with the strong breeze!

Umpire #4 calls a free to Lions from off the ball during a centre square bounce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There has been more coughing up than a tenth wave of Covid!

Umpire #4 needs a more fulfilling pastime!

I hate the hand slapping after players allow another rebound, walk in, four options for an easy goal. What the ... have you got to slap hands for? Its just a borrowed fashion from world sport that should never apply to second rate team efforts!!!

I've been sitting here for the whole game but I have missed half of it because the person who has been dragged in from the local primary school to point the handicam has been trailing the action by 5 seconds throughout

Umpiring is a joke!!!! A very bad joke!!!!

All of Laurie, Brown, Sestan and new bloke have been disappointing. Old hands Hunter, Billings, White, Hore... showing the way
