Take cents on the dollar for Petracca and Clarry and just find a way to trade them. Then we can start the mini rebuild.

Petracca should be embarrassed. His disposal is deplorable, he needs to be traded urgently

Uh oh

I think the prospect of a win vs either the hawks or pies will do more for us in terms of galvanising our belief that we are still a half decent list (which may help retain a few players we want to keep that are on the fence about their future with the club) than shifting magnets arbitrarily will do. I don’t see what playing pin the tail on the donkey with the team sheet really does for us with 2 games left against contenders eyeing a flag. Getting flogged by either of these teams due to playing blokes out of their position will only compound any retention issues we may have in the rank and file right now. We have had a shocking year, let’s mot make it worse? Play our best team in their normal positions and focus on winning one of these next two games please. It’s been a really rough year, as a supporter it would be nice to go out on a high like that.

Ignoring PF was the only way I could enjoy myself on DL. Suggest everyone does the same, he's the biggest f l og here by a mile.

Max aside, we can’t rely on our senior expensive stars to stand up and execute when it matters. It’s a huge problem and greatly contributes to not being able to close out close games Petracca’s inconsistent output and horrific ball use is very deflating. Viney tries his hardest but he is extremely limited as a player. The game has gone past Clarry and I don’t think he has the tools to become a dominant force again. We can’t expect to win close games late in the season off the back of our younger players, it’s the senior players that need to drag us over the line and sadly Max can’t do it every week on his own. I really hope we make some ruthless trades this off season. We’ll be relevant again with this young core group and some astute trades.

Trade Petracca at all costs.

We have a list that can be built on. Figure out how to trade Trac to Hawthorn and Clarry to Geelong. Bucks has plenty to work with if we can move on some of the old guard that are holding us back.

Great game of footy. Cant help but think it feels like one of those honourable losses from the dark days though.

Great read, but more importantly, your username is amazing lol 😂

He's going nowhere. Thankfully. Any talk of trading our only classy forward (Pickett aside) that kicks 40 goals a season is ludicrous.

I'm as passionate as the next Melbourne fan, but seriously, if our coach getting sacked is having a material effect on your mental health then I would implore you to please talk to someone to uncover the underlying issue/s you're dealing with.

Love Brad but I reckon we should never put him in front of a camera again. Ever.

I note Tom Morris was sitting in the front row. Read into that as you will.
