  1. All relevant to the Langdon trade just announced. Pick 22, 79 and a future second round selection will head to the Dockers, while pick 26 and a future fourth round selection head to Melbourne along with Langdon.
  2. One of the best posts I’ve ever read on this site.
  3. Of course I’ll renew - will buy the 5 premium memberships that I do every year. I’m even thinking about joining coterie. It’s odd, but I wouldn’t enjoy the good times anywhere near as much without knowing I’d suffered through the bad times. I’m a firm believer in the concept that the Club owes you nothing. You make a choice to support it or not. But if you love it, it’s not really ever a conscious choice.
  4. Exactly right. Ask Rod Grinter, Jeff Farmer or Russell Robertson if they feel disconnected. And to suggest Glen Bartlett has the biggest ego of the AFL presidents is absolute nonsense when you think about the field.
  5. Hard to say without understanding the context, but I’d be a lot more confident if I knew that all 22 players were coming off a full pre-season and could run out the last 10 minutes at full pace.
  6. Round 1 2020 can’t come quickly enough. A full preseason with a new head of fitness, a bottom 6 draw, an injury free list with a top 5 pick...
  7. When we lost after the siren at KP last year, I saw a 6 year old kid in an Oliver jumper crying. His mother looked embarrassed. I felt like crouching down and saying “Get used to this feeling....”
  8. Anyone who has watched Melbourne consistently could see what was going to happen after quarter time. Where was our plan B? Why did we not back ourselves to win at the stoppage and as a result let them have players behind the ball? It’s almost as though we were playing for an honourable loss, knowing we would get smashed on the spread (which we did in the last quarter anyway). It was like a performance in the early days of Roos - defensively okay but you knew the outcome before the ball was bounced. There are some truths to be told about the preseason and exactly what shape the players came back in.
  9. Nothing new in any of this. Ironic isn’t it - if Jordan McMahon doesn’t somehow smash one through from 55m after the siren none of this ever matters - a real sliding doors moment. I hope this has the effect that I think it will with the current club - use it to galvanise, band together and come out roaring from the bounce tomorrow night.
  10. We were 2-3 last year, including a ten goal loss against an experienced team, and didn’t have too many issues making a preliminary final with a core one year younger than it is now.
  11. I don’t know if you’re able to be banned for comments like that, but you should be. Probably the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen in a post-match thread.
  12. Does anyone have any concrete mail on a supposed fight between Hoges and Milkshake at a dinner that required them to be physically separated?
  13. I’ll be there! My plane lands at 9.30 so timing works out really well.
  14. A really gritty and tough finals performance. No passengers. So many huge moments, you couldn’t help but be emotional. You could grizzle at the conversion and some wasted opportunities but that happens in finals. We put scoreboard pressure on early and didn’t ever let up. I got the feeling that of the 91,000 there (sorry OldDee you were about 36,000 off) 65,000 of them were Dees. The roar when Chunk kicked the winner was spine tingling. On to next week and a much different challenge - can we break the Hawks possession game with our running power? Can’t wait!
  15. Great - I’m in the middle of row G.
  16. I guess we don’t have too long to wait to find out. I haven’t been through the previous 31 pages but anyone else in N14?
  17. I have an Asahi open to celebrate our AA participants. Hard to predict the weather but if its a night like tonight there will certainly be 80k+. You’re forgetting that at least 10k of neutrals will turn up.
  18. It might sound silly but I thought West Coast hitting the front as ‘early’ as they did was helpful. It refocused and galvanised us. So incredibly proud of all of the players. A fantastic effort over there. Shout out to the recruiting staff. What did we give up for Hibberd & Melksham? Where were Tom McDonald, Hannan, Harmes, Jetta and Fritsch drafted? What a day. Let’s all get to the G next week and bring back a home final.
  19. As bad a side as I can remember seeing us play. Got the job done - really strong performance aside from some third quarter inaccuracy. We need now to bring that same effort next Sunday.
  20. 15 minutes before bounce and there’s literally 47 GC supporters here.
