McKay and Walsh talk, Blues trying to clear space to keep TDK? Or just fix their list

These are prob 2 of my fav songs released this year

Not sure how long these 2 will have signed on for. 7. Gold Coast - Oscar Adams198cm, 23/7/03, Glenelg 14. Gold Coast - Caleb Lewis198cm, 29/9/03, Casey BUT Thats 9 players at GC above 198cms on their list this year, we currently have 4- Max, TC, Fullarton and Verral. CC: Kalani White.

It's a funny one when you look at it, on one hand he helped create several goals, but on the other hand - 6 disposals at 50% efficiency, his one kick ineffective, 1 hit out etc. Either way he is living his dream and the spot is his until JvR gets his groove back.

The referee simply blew too early meaning it couldn't go to VAR, it was tough on them. BUT If hawkeye hadn't have guffed up Aston Villa would have been related in 2019/20. If they were relegated that year they woulda sold Grealish for less money, wouldn't have been in a position to sign Watkins, Martinez, Cash etc. That error was the building block on creating this villa team, so there is a little bit poetic justice/irony here.

I still enjoy it and am going this weekend - but definitely has some internal struggles. Some promising signs of life with inclusion of Auckland this year, probably one of the few expansion clubs they didnt make a mistake with. Definitely loses any media presence during the Cricket/Tennis and then AFL season though. An all Melbourne Grand Final on Saturday night, on track to sell out AAMI but will get very little press in the build up

"Melbourne Victory in the A-league have reported a comprehensive loss of $9.877 million on revenue of $17.368 million for 2024. The company reports negative equity in the order of -$12.376 million" Yeh no free drinks from these fellas

Victory have open training at 2:15pm today.

Think I read the fine will be paid for in Cotton On gift cards

Melbourne v Sydney10 Kysaiah Pickett (MELB) 7 Clayton Oliver (MELB) 6 Christian Salem (MELB) 4 Christian Petracca (MELB) 2 Max Gawn (MELB) 1 Ed Langdon (MELB) You Love to see it.

196cm fella. GC really are arming themselves with talls. Hopefully Kalani takes note, or perhaps GC have taken note.

What will people complain about in the comments section now then?

Stats wise he may have had a quiet game but AJ’s pressure and getting a hand to the ball in our f50 resulted in 3 to 4 goals today. Does the dirty work well, just needs to polish other areas

Harsh on Tommy Mac. But guess they liked what AJ brought to the table squad wise, So it was either T-Mac or Turner and they went with omitting the older option? From a long term perspective it makes some sense, but Tom has been in red hot form.

Prasad sounds promising given we're crying out for another dynamic small forward, hopefully he continues to develop his skills into his draft year

He's definitely in the crosshairs on here. I'm sure our wobbly start hasn't helped. Without being mean to the fella as I do appreciate him, he's a victim of his (AFL) averageness. He's a solid player with no real explosive traits, so he comes an easy target. He does need more goals though, can remember Chin copping a lot of flack on here in the past and he's turned people around, so there is hope for the Spargoat.

@layzie Usually when one sporting team of mine is cabbage another is doing well. Sadly this does not seem to be the case in 2025.

Agree we need more goals from Spargs, but worth noting there's only 5 players at the club with more Goal Assists. So wouldn't crucify him for that one too much. Chuck also 3rd highest tackles inside F50 for the Dees. He's never going to light a match on fire, so the spot is his until someone comes along with better attributes. Uncertain if that is K.Brown or not. Would like us to draft/trade another small forward who has more 'elite' stats than 'average'.

Saw a journo on Twitter who said "Football fandom is a largely obligatory existence where lows are stronger than highs. But this lifelong routine is interspersed with moments of joy so powerful that they eclipse everything, make everything else in life temporarily irrelevant and makes all the [censored] worthwhile." Reminds me of my time as a Dees supporter. Enjoy the win.

I'm in a little footy group chat and someone wrote a message "Finding it very hard to figure out who is good/[censored] this year" - This gets bumped with every confusing/unpredicted result so far this season. curious if the robot has a better idea.

Look this doesn't really need a thread, but i am on my lunch break at work and I opened my phone and I clicked 'memories' on Facebook and it reminded me that on this day in 2018 we beat Carlton by 109 points and it made me smile. And I thought others may also take joy in remembering when we beat Carlton by 109 points.

His shot at goal and pass to Fritta could have been better. His goalscoring has decreased each year, would be curious to see what shift (if any) there has been in his heat maps. I don't think it was a drop worthy performance given the Casey performances last 2 games. But he should start getting nervous in a week or two IMO. Sharp definitely has pace on Spargs but assume he'd probably be the one to make way for Viney. Chuck/Sharp were pretty equal in pressure acts (11v10) but did note Chuck had 3 tackles to 0.
