Also Picketfence wants us to move on cos he doesnt want another tall forward to compete with Jeffo!

Its all gone borked. Like Obvs i am biased cos of Kalani but even David Rodan has a kid who is eligible for F/S with Port but is also part of Essendon's NGA. They need to re-jig the system. You've got NGA players who's parents played AFL football. Then you got cases like Kalani and Luke Hodge's kid who are part of Northern Academies despite being F/S eligible. If Cooper Hodge choses Brisbane i'll feel sorry for the Hawks, and that's a sentence I don't type very often.

It's still utterly bizarre to have us not playing a game in Melbourne for a month and then not leaving the state for the last 7 games.

Dermie was just as bad at half time on the weekend, suggesting Kossie could get a fine for staging when he got that clip to the head. They replayed the incident and he repeated there was no contact and he milked it. Other panel tried to tell him there was bicep/shoulder contact to chin but he wasnt having it.

Agreed, i dont expect a big lanky ruck to kick 'em all the time, but 2.14 is woeful. Previously when he took a mark in the F50 you'd be like this could be anything, but this season you could say it'd be a point with confidence.

McVee and Gawn escaped with no sanction from the Match Review Panel

Was 62-57 when May got penalised for being too strong. Real momentum killer. That being said as per usual our kicking into f50 and kicking iffy as usual. That Petracca to Melksham one in particular; too many floated kicks in; just invites pressure 3 goals after the siren, real broken tv territory

Out of Petty and Disco i'd prefer Disco forward BUT i dont want to see Disco playing anywhere but the backline - So i voted Petty.

It is a tough one - Tmac squeezed out of the backline. You'd imagine the selection committee wouldnt want to move Turner/May/Lever - so i'd still rather he be in the team as a forward than not at all. Has somethings to improve on no doubt. His future should be as a Backman - but this might not be until season 2027.

we do need a gun forward though

Comments from other club supporters saying we were played and overpaid, only thing for certain is he signed. Its a beautiful day, now to win this weekend.

There has to be a $/Length to get the deal done, if this is it so be it. He makes things happens Curious where the load will be spread on the contract, hopefully heaviest when his legs are at his quickest.

Think the price is worth paying just to shut up that flagmantle facebook page.

Got a text during the game yesterday from a pal who supports Hawthorn "Any danger of Melbourne kicking it properly into the forward line" Must not have watched us much since 2022.

Gives them something to talk about (read: Milk) Tuesday-Wednesday before the round begins on Thursday.

Bit of a mid-season groundhog day post the last few years unfortunately.

Frustrating result. The May/Gawn incident will be forgotten by them by the morning. There are posts on here that’s there’s too much smiling after losses. Well this is the opposite isn’t it. A stern word said in the moment will not last long between professional players

A nice away trip

Perhaps the club itself was the hypothetical?

Surprised he wasn't ruled out for the season after this hit piece

Agreed, Hate what he did, hate what he took from us/Gus. But not giving that filth any more of my attention.
