A huge get!

I really liked Mahoney. Represented the club with aplomb, when he spoke, you listened because he'd only speak when there was something worth saying. I won't pretend to know what he was like internally, but externally he did us really, really proud IMO

We wouldn't have had the success of 2018 if Paul Roos was still coach.

I like it

Would much rather have inside information provided to us that didn't eventuate, than no information at all. Please don't be discouraged Doctor! You've single handedly been worth at least half of the value of the forum posts in the past few weeks :)

Getting in true Melbourne people - really good ones from all reports too - is the best result. I think Yze would thus have an inherent ruthless edge that the club wants. True investment.

I understand I might be in the minority here, but I'm a fan of Mahoney (or the parts we get to see). Has always conducted himself professionally, even during controversial times and I've always been left with a level of calm assurance that I haven't felt from our other media regulars, except for perhaps Jackson. However, I think he would know that your accountable on results, and if that's the reason for his alleged dismissal, then it can't be argued against. We're underperforming, and he plays a vital role on our success.

Smith makes us a better side. Personally, I'm for making us a better side.

Walters and taberner out just means more goals for Jesse to kick. Go Jesse!

That Petracca goal was somethin else. He is seriously good.

Jack Viney leaving helps us, not hinders for mine. Gus plays in the guts more - who is much more creative than Viney's limited disposal skills - and we get likely first rounder in return. I've also never really warmed to Jack's "do what I do" leadership. I honestly don't think it's a bad thing that he leaves.

I've resisted as long as I could, but this is the first time I'll say it. Goodwin has to go. There is literally no excuses this year. You just failed as a senior coach. Time to move on.

[censored] you Melbourne

I hope those claiming they won't renew their membership aren't the ones that blindly renew every October. Bloody remember these moments, and start to hold this god damn club accountable for a change.

Not one Melbourne player is taking responsibility to kick goals. Everyone is defending tonight. No intent going forward. I have no idea what they think get paid to do.

I have no idea who is going to kick our goals today.

Words can't do the justice of Truck's last goal. Absolute freak.

Last minute hurt, but the other 39 had us a 14 point better side. More positives than negatives. Stay the course and I reckon we get up.

Nope, kick the first goal of the quarter and it'll be on. Shocking quarter, but keep at it Dees.

Make no mistake, being up by 7 points is a great achievement. Doggies are a tough team, and we're matching them. May has been huge for us.

Current: Max. A man of the people, undisputed gun on the field, leader of all facets of our club. Past: My local Russel Robertson

We're getting some good service from the umps, but we're clearly the better team of the half. Spargo has been devine!

I don't think there is a team I wanna beat more than Collingwood. Gotta win this one Dees.

I still remember that time when Witts, Grundy and Cox were all selected to combat Gawn and Max destroyed them all single-handedly. Then there's that time where Max got 34 touches against Grundy... just last year, in fact. It's an argument I try to have 'fun' with outwardly with Collingwood supporters about who is better, but I secretly boil inside

I think TMac is a clear out for mine. Despite a good performance, there is no where else for him to realistically play without expensing a better fit. Langdon aside, I also think no one has shown more than Nathan Jones in that wing/HFF role. So he stays for mine. In: Gawn, Viney Out: TMac, Sparrow Sparrow has been good too, but he's the first out in terms of like-for-like with Viney. Otherwise we're getting players OOP
