I really think unique grounds are an interesting facet of the game to contend with.

The inequity....doesn't astound me. 😢

I'm confused - surely they are not all out of bounds? Also, ones marked in the goal square/goal line?

Very (naively) surprised about the No Score amount for each team. 🤔

Thanks @adonski, @WheeloRatings, can you please explain why our defensive rating is where it is, when 2 other teams (Collingwood and St Kilda) have conceded fewer points/same games. What else goes into the mix?

Deadset, the deliberate amateur nature of the score review and lack of cameras between goal and point post presumably is all about clicks and driving anger. The notion of ‘it’s better to be spoken about negatively, rather than not at all’ is the AFL modus operandi in full flight.

Got some tasty anecdotes to share to get us through to next game day??😍

This is amazingly obscure and I love it. if someone could put those words into AI to create some artwork - that’d be amazing.

Night game. Fireworks before the game (literally, not metaphorically) to celebrate Corey. It felt like arrogance, and as one of the 280* Melbourne supporters there, was very very very pleased with the result. Bernie Vince was [censored] immense.

I wonder what he was thinking. what I mean is, I actually what he was thinking as he was surveying what was ahead of him and to come to the decision to kick to those spots. It’s be nice to make sense of, to help understand the decision making process. it’s easy to sling mud from the sidelines…

Remember Goodwin 4/5 years ago spoke about Fugazi. Well ,him talking about our lack of connection, considering the current context - is Meta-Fugazi. He is happily perpetuating the myth. (for those that love the band, I look forward to seeing your chosen Youtube clip) 👌

connor? who plays for port?

I was there too...sinking cans with a glazed look in my eyes... I am sure I repeat that on here annually. Anyways, just got gifted a ticket this afternoon to go with a Dad from school pick up who is a 'multi-generational' member. should be a fun night 😀 I think we will uber from the peninsula. Catch up for a beer :)

Did Jack Watts drop himself - and get lambasted? Or do I recall that incorrectly?

Does it get tiring having to explain it bi-weekly? 😍😘

100% this - his comments do not even slightly marry up with what the vision shows and how disgruntled CP is.

I hear you , and do you recall that if it wasn't for injury he would have played in the GF - so clearly the FD see something that we don't from the outside.

We've learned our lesson that MC is not to be trifled with! Mmmm trifle🍧

Love McCrae 😍

If you have time could you discuss around this observation please. Goodwin is a fine coach. Great systems in place, and clearly a forensic and strategic thinker. How the MFC system has stood up without Oliver I think has been lost, or not considered in overall commentary about how we have played over the last month, Oliver IS a significant loss, his output and his s thinking and quick hands. BUT our game is not built around the feted ones in the midfield, as evidenced by the last 3 weeks or so. It is robust enough to withstand the loss of arguably* the best players in the midfield in the competition. *we know I was being diplomatic

Why the hell not? 🤷‍♂️🙂

A few good things to ponder retrospectively https://themongrelpunt.com/afl-season-2023/2023/06/12/melbourne-v-collingwood-the-big-questions/

I would have come, but it was 'sold out'... I suspect many others were the same.
