I read the other day the Stadium bill passed in the Lower house with a scoreboard like the 88 Grand Final. Uncertain as to what the Upper house will do.

Sandman, Hells Bells are great walkout tunes that we've used. Acca Dacca 'Long Way To The Top' could be appropriate for this season. But in my mind, cutting those tunes off to break into the Grand Old Flag trumpet intro sounds so lame.

So 4 teams play wildcard with the likely outcome the 2 winners are smashed in Week 2 by 5th or 6th who had a week off. Not a fan. Channel 7 pushing this barrow?

Waiting for the ‘Sack King’ thread!

Out coached once again. One goal in a half is unacceptable

Living in Thailand, tomorrows game will be over by 1.30pm here. So if we have a surprise win, that will excite me or we play like our form has dictated thus far and get belted again. Then I venture into town to drown my sorrows and forget about the footy for the final day of Songkran (Thai New Year) with all the associated water shenanigans going on about the place.

Would I be right to suggest Hawks hat trick was assisted due to them being strong at that time and expansion teams GWS & Gold Coast comprising the draft for a couple of years? Not putting down their efforts which also had them runners up before the hat trick. Just an observation.

I’m living overseas these days, but retained my AFL membership at around $700 PA in the hope we get to another GF I’ll get a ticket and fly home for a couple of weeks. Now reconsidering that decision because to me it feels like the 1970’s all over again and seems like we will never be back in the mix. See how this season pans out to see if I renew AFL in 2026. But being a 40+ year mostly suffering MFC member I would sign up for a basic MFC membership. But they need to stop serving up that carp we have been subjected to the past 2 weeks. Beat Geelong? Doubtful but FFS at least have a crack!

I don’t think he was hired as an executive. I do suspect they had him on ~300K per year to come into the office once or twice a week to play solitaire for an hour.

Possibly the result of using tossed away crack pipes, located in the vicinity of Smith Street, for building nests.

No issue with the colours, but the jumper design is pox. And that stupid looking logo that looks like a lifesaver has been spaghettified by crossing the event horizon of a black hole. Who was the idjit who approved that? Not even sure they still use it.

Lost confidence in Weed when he missed that goal against Adelaide that would've won it. But good luck to him in what he does going forward.

Consider at stages during the season we were hopeless. Games versus Freo both times, last quarter versus Kangas to name 3. Despite some lousy form during the season, we didn't miss the eight by a lot and in the process lost 4 games by less than a kick. Including one to the eventual premier on their own deck. That despite no Trac for half a season and Clarry being unfit physically and also in the head. 2 of those games go our way and we probably make the eight, but I doubt we get to a prelim. So with that, there is no reason why we can't turn it around provided all the BS politics is sorted and doesn't filter down to the playing group.

You could say made a bigger contribution for us in that GF then James Jordan?

I can see Morris (minor), Barrett et al......... "Shock development. Petracca fails to turn up to B&F!!!!!"

I don't answer questions.

Thank you Kate for your Service. Brad, keep the seat warm for Steve.

I think Moore is more of a Chardonnay type of bloke.

Jimmy Bartel was sticking up for us when the other 'journos' were ranting about Trac & Vines. Anyway, Vines staying till 2028. Trac back in 2025 and Oliver a full preseason. The under 23's are coming along nicely. Lots to be bullish about I would've thought. Morris & co can go suck a lemon.

Kings birthday for me. Insipid. As an aside, we lost 4 games by less than a kick. If two of those went our way we'd still be in the race. That said we are not playing no where near where we should be and would have got knocked out in an elimination final. I am pleased with the progression of some of our kids, but can we please do something about delivery into our forward line. It's been our nemesis the past 3 seasons. Oh, and when there is 1 minute left in a game and we trail by less than a kick, how about coaching the team to forget about zone structures and pick up a bloody opponent.

In reality that game should have been on Sunday arvo. Scheduling Dees v any expansion team is never going to draw many especially worse at night in the middle of the coldest winter Melbourne's had for years, so I'm informed. Mind you, that 16K was a pathetic turnout. Was expecting 20-23K to be honest. Why wasn't I there? I'm in Thailand. And it's 30C every day!
