The AFL are treating us with contempt
This just shows that people would rather complain than turn up.

POSTGAME: Rd 02 vs North Melbourne
Quick thoughts: - Nobody played well (No Chandler PR please) - Count the broken tackles and fine them a $1000 for each one. - Count every turnover that led to a scoring shot and fine them a $1000 for each one ($2000 if Comben was the one who intercepted it) - Count every attempted fend off or shrug off that didn't break the tackle and fine them a $1000 for each one. - Gawn can't 1 man ruck anymore - 4 seasons with no key forward trades - I'm so glad we traded our first round pick for no reason - Why Langford is omitted for Spargo/Woewodin I'll never know All money accumulated from fines can go to Jim Stynes foundation. Season's over and it's round 2 but what did anyone expect. Our premiership hopes relied on a forward line of Daniel Turner and Jacob Van Rooyen.

New coach prospects
Thank you for educating me. I didn't know the coach had nothing to do with the list build.

Barlow had pretty big wraps on him.

The Jagga Smith Thread
Cal mentioned that Adelaide are interested in Draper and Langford. Carlton also have interest in FOS and Draper. North seem most interested in Tauru. I think we could very well see Jagga slide to our pick.

2024 Phantom Drafts
Pick 5 you want a point of difference player. I think the guys in the range for that will be Langford, Smith and Tauru. Pick 9, depends on what will be available. I have a feeling North split 2 with Richmond and try grab Tauru. Saints might bite on Armstrong. I'd almost consider Reid if he is available. A future one, two punch of Smith and Reid sounds exciting.

The Harry Armstrong Thread
What's everyone got against Armstrong? I'd love Lalor and FOS but those guys aren't attainable. I reckon the idea of a year 4 JVR, year 3 Jefferson and year 1 Armstrong on the books gives us great optimism for a dynamic and functional forward line for many years to come. For what it's worth, Armstrong also looks more ready than Jefferson did.

Welcome to Demonland: Pick 9
5 and 9 in the draft?!? it's like the good old days hey fellas EDIT: Surely, Sam Lalor and Harry Armstrong are who we are targeting

9 Reasons to be Positive Heading into 2025
I can find little things to be positive about of course. But man aside from the kids we draft and the kids we have, it's tough to be excited about what's coming. Hope I am wrong.

Welcome to Demonland: Pick #37
Considering how bleak the trade period looks, Taylor is going to have to work miracles in the draft. Thanks Brisbane.

They say backflip as if the person who said we wouldn't do a review didn't just resign.

NON-MFC: Finals Week 01
Sorry I've mistyped. Is it revisionism? if the play in general improves significantly and we don't find anything better then aren't we wrong?

Christian Petracca
Yeah. Someone as brand-aware as Petracca surely saw some of the disgusting hate filled comments sent his way. People whinging about his statement for not kissing feet more should probably just be happy he has said something at all. I've met the kid twice, always lovely and charming, but that doesn't mean I am an expert on his character or anything. Still, no one deserves to be hated on for expressing grievances. Also, shout out Phil Davis. I know it's basic, but get that guy a gig at the club if he is open to it.

Christian Petracca
Can I just say, Max Gawn, he has been phenomenal these last few weeks. In fact, that's a discredit, this whole season has been inspirational. From a playing perspective, in his 30's and forced to be the sole ruck. Then from an off the field point of view, he has been put in front of countless press conferences to answer for the sins of others, moved in a troubled teammate in to his house while he has two babies and a wife to care for. Yet he still managed to be an All Australian. Maybe the next time some* journo speaks in the media, take 2 minutes to talk about the burden Max has taken on this season and how he has handled it.

Christian Petracca
I don't know if this is re-assuring or ominous but do agree with DL, he knows more than he is letting on. The club really need to hold ground on this, any question they get about Christian should've just been a positive response like "We love him and we agree with him on certain issues and will work to fix them". Instead, it looks like some people on the inside are speaking to the media and making reconciliation a lot tougher. I cringe every time I see a fan take a pop at Christian on here or Reddit, Insta or X. Calling him Judas when nothing has happened yet isn't a good way to show him and his family how much he is loved by the club.

Pert and Roffey - The Review Thread
Personally, I just like accountability. Happy for you to take credit when things are going well but things have been poor for a little while now, yet no accountability.

Trade Targets
If Saints win we are 5th last. Brisbane F/S means we basically got pick 6. Unless your getting in an elite player with 5-6 years of his prime ahead of him, you take pick 6 to the draft.

Christian Petracca
Your right, no one knows what the future holds. Though, I think our GM of Football and Head coach publicly stating he isn't leaving, and thus essentially putting their jobs on the line if he does leave gives me plenty of reassurance.
