We’re not the only club to ask the question

Just saw this is being heard on Wednesday, plenty more juice to squeeze out of this one for the afl media then.

Coaches Votes Carlton v Melbourne10 Kysaiah Pickett MELB 6 Jacob Weitering CARL 6 Patrick Cripps CARL 4 Matt Carroll CARL 2 Lachie Cowan CARL 1 Trent Rivers MELB 1 Charlie Curnow CARL at least we all love KP

Jacko and Nibbler both killing it today. Hoping we can start nailing trades again for an instant hit

Although there will be legal costs, assume we don’t have an appeal fee at least?

admittedly I only really know MFC team, is the 2025 fixture kinder to us? I think i recall last year's being a bit unfair with our opponents.

Reason I am missing the game this weekend is to see these lads, last saw them in 2005

coaches votes too. I try ignore anything that footy media says between Monday morning and Thursday afternoon because it's just crying for attention.

Hopefully its him bandaged up from the GC game

OUT: Me - attending a concert. Will be checking my phone regularly, think i still have PTSD from attending the last 3 games where we lost by a combined 7 points.

Me seeing DISCO and TRAGEDY in the same sentence But in all seriousness, crappy situation but a good read., Glad the club went above and beyond for him as well. Glad Disco is pumping

Jeffo needs a larger body too. Definitely some positive signs in terms of forward half movement and marks. Just needs to nab a few more goals and the year on a high. And hit the ground (and weight room) running hard in 2026.

A lot of this thread is very premature. "Can we talk about Kolt" - Yes "Can we make a determination on Kolt (Whether positive or negative) in his second year playing a certain role in an underperforming team after having a limited pre-season" - No, not really

Coaches Votes Melbourne v North Melbourne10 Christian Petracca MELB 6 Jake Melksham MELB 5 Max Gawn MELB 4 Harry Sheezel NMFC 3 Bayley Fritsch MELB 2 Colby McKercher NMFC Thoughts?

sounds like they may have some good young fellas?

It is improving a little over the course of the season, but still too many floated ball and not enough driven one. Invites pressure/trouble especially on a quick transition.

Almost 50 days since our last win, we get up and snap a 5 game losing streak but now we have 4 new pages largely writing off a young player playing his 17th game for the club. Wasn't the greatest performance by any means but we're not doing anything this season, give him some time and a proper pre-season before you get the swords out.

I see Charlie Comben is back for North, we kicked it to him 4124 times earlier in the season. Hopefully they avoid this tactic this time.

There isn't a lot of future playing TC but playing him may increase team performance - which in turn would benefit the younger generation.

Has polled Coaches votes in 2 games as well. Agreee he's playing the role he's asked -but if results aren't going your looks very ineffective

a lot of people have Salo in their crosshairs on here. Obviously last month haven't been able to really study him in detail, so will keep an eye on him in particular this week.

i know its an obvious thing to say, but i was listening to the radio today and Jason McCartney (GWS Giants' List Manager) was talking about Aaron Cadman and saying how much of a luxury it was for his development to be playing alongside Jesse Hogan ( a mature forward etc). Mentioned how they didnt need to rush him etc and he could develop at his own pace. A real stark juxtaposition.

He's an assistant coach at Collingwood now as well. So perhaps its being paid a variety of ways.

IF he is gone, what should we get in return?

Vindication from my chief scout.
