No doubt the single best piece of news out of the club this year. Now onward and upward young man

Be lucky if there was 20k here. Pathetic.

Just watch them capitulate in the second half. That number one pick is more important to their overall plans

All of that is just conjecture. The fact is we turned a 25 point deficit into a 25 point lead. Hardly “luck”. The competition is very close. Gold Coast beat Geelong. Hawthorn should have beaten Adelaide, who are currently top 6. Richmond drew with Carlton (are they are a finals team, probably). And as the year goes on, similar results will happen. Any win is a good win. Especially in this competition. So see the positives, not the negatives. The negatives will be addressed come finals time. This Melbourne side is as good as any.

Would be interested to know what aspect of that win you thought was “luck”? If it’s Richmond missing some shots, there is a thing called implied pressure

Wow, 1 goal from a key forward, Geelong got 10 this round!

A big if. And if they do, who is kicking the sausage rolls?

Me too. Really concerned about our forward setup. A couple of weeks ago, Brown and McDonald were our key forwards. Neither could impact VFL today. So what do we have tomorrow night? JVR playing his, what, 4th game. Who else? May, who leads our defence, has looked very ordinary (injured?), Lever not at full fitness, Petty lacking all confidence. And a midfield that turns up when it wants to (Oliver excepted).

Really? Collingwood, Sydney, Geelong? Who would he replace? Played every game in 2021, and is now struggling to be best 23. Yes he would get a regular game with 14 other clubs, which is probably the reason he won’t be with us next year

Great news! Really like it when players commit early in the year, as opposed to this "put talks on hold" rubbish

If I recall, weren't they 8 and 2 after 10 rounds last year?

It just seemed so innocuous. If it’s a concussion, then someone (AFL?) needs to intervene and end his AFL career, for his sake.

Agree. If the MRO hand out bans for that, then they really have lost the plot

Sam Weideman had 3 more years in the system. Please, do you really want to go there?

As a player, I like Jordan, think he he has a lot of upside. I also think Sparrow has far more potential as our next inside bull. I just don’t see where Jordan fits, and maybe neither does he

Clearly the coaching group don’t think so. The right call to omit him for Pickett.

Fair enough, we shall see

He has put talks on hold, why? To get more opportunity at another club? If that's the case, then HE doesn't believe he can get ahead of the likes of Sparrow, Harmes, etc. Why would you play someone with that mindset!

When was the last time a captain was dropped? In any club! Ludicrous suggestion

BBB looked very proppy when he came off and spent quite a bit of time with the physio

Against Ladhams, Spargs would probably go ok, he is a spud

Oh I so hope number 11 sledges him about it

I am in the JVR camp, he needs to come in. Contest and make the McCartins accountable. Hibberd in as well, if nothing else but to pile drive number 11’s head deep into the fresh MCG turf. I think we will make a statement on Sunday.

So those supposedly easy games we had coming up, WCE, Essendon, North, all of a sudden don’t look too easy at the moment. We have work to do. I hope the attitude changes from our playing group, from what was on display on Friday night. Otherwise, it could quickly turn ugly.

They will quite possibly be 4 zip when we play them in Adelaide. Teams like Essendon, when they get on a roll, will be hard to stop.
