PODCAST: Rd 01 vs GWS
How good was that start to the third quarter? Within moments, we saw the kind of explosive, direct football that makes us so dangerous when we’re at our best. Twice in quick succession, we surged out of the centre with real intent, slicing through the Giants’ midfield pressure and turning clearance wins into scoreboard impact almost instantly. First, there was the electric dash from Caleb Windsor off half-back, his speed and confidence to take the game on were outstanding. Watching a young player back himself and break lines like that was a real highlight. Then, moments later, it was the midfield brute force of Christian Petracca, who don't argued his way out of the middle and fed the ball to a charging Tom Sparrow, who made no mistake. Two quick goals, pure burst football, and suddenly the momentum was all ours. This is exactly the kind of centre clearance dominance we need to see more often. When we win the ball at speed and surge forward with clean hands and aggressive running, we look almost unstoppable. The challenge, of course, is maintaining that level of intensity and execution consistently across four quarters. So, what do we need to do to ensure this brand of football becomes the norm rather than just a glimpse?

Christian Petracca
Take a look at this hero, parading around doing a victory, as if the whole messy situation hasn’t laid bare some serious, underlying issues at the club—issues we’ve been painfully aware of for quite some time. If you truly believe that journalists like Morris, McClure, and their cohorts weren’t onto something, you’re fooling yourself. Sure, they have a tendency to sensationalize, mixing truths, half-truths, and a bit of rumor, but if you think there’s nothing to this story, you’re burying your head in the sand. Had Collingwood or Carlton possessed the draft capital, he’d be gone. And to be honest, I couldn’t have blamed him for jumping ship from this sinking Titanic. I’d be angry, [censored] off, and deeply saddened, but at least I’d understand. The notion that there was never any substance to this story is laughable, especially when Trac could have shut it all down on Day 2. Yet here we are, 19 days later, with silence still hanging in the air. Ask yourself why it wasn't shut down? And don't just claim that there was nothing to the reports. Stop acting like you’re the second coming. Our club has a lot of work to do if we’re going to keep Trac and the rest of the team content. If we don’t make significant changes, we’ll be staring down the barrel of a disaster this time next year.

Dying to hear your glowing review of Roffey's interview. I need a good laugh after the last few days of doom and gloom at the MFC.

This club needs an external review from top to bottom. We are a laughing stock.

Kozzy and Trac are two of our Top 3 marketable stars. The damage of the season will be immeasurable. Head have to roll. Supporters need to demand action. Our club is dying

NON-MFC: Round 24
Congratulations Freo on earning my most hated team this season. Embarrassed us once, then beat us again and then couldn't get the job done to end Carlton's season.

PODCAST: Rd 24 vs Collingwood
What did the panel think of Kozzie's bump and the resulting 3 match suspension by the MRO? Do you think we will appeal? I know Kozzie has priors with these types of indiscretions but I think in this instance he has a case that he can at least plead in that Moore went to ground and had he kept his feet then perhaps it would have been a fair bump. Kozzie could not have reasonably forseen that Moore would drop like a lollipop. What do you guys think and thanks for the another great season of podcasting?
