2-4-1s, Kids go free. Just got a sms about a ticket upgrade What is your guess?

Maybe they want to ensure one last win for the season before sending him off? It is a bit baffling - but also shows lack of faith in some of the youngsters and no future for Billings.

If we can replace Hore and Fullarton with Derksen and Mihocek that'll be a good first step. Happy to give TC another year for emergencies and guidance to developing rucks.

Tbf Jai is MFC debutant #8 this season

IN: Jai but Out: who? Assume - Sharp is in for Spargo as Sub.

I will also tell them to bring back the Spinach and Ricotta roll.

That's assuming it will be a precedent and not just a blind throw at the dart-board

Think the AFL just need to make reference to the Kelly trade and close the door promptly.

It's definitely going to be an interesting watch for the rucks this season, definitely a chain reaction occuring TDK -> Carlton? Marshall -> Geelong? Ned Reeves -> Carlton? Collingwood? Heath - > ? Then of course Draper -> Brisbane?

It's helped them in recent time though, shifted Tom Mitchell's cap space and also traded O'Meara for Lloyd Meek etc. Helped kick on the bounce back.

Not sure if Tmac will go around again, but if he doesn't May/Turner/Petty/Adams/Derksen? an ok springboard for 2026. Would need target a free agent for 2027 in the event some don't kick on though.

And what do we ask for in return?

Ok so I have mellowed a bit since Sunday night, I don't want to see the media get stuck into us again, so I will go this Saturday just to add +1 to the attendance.

Agreed they needed to cover the threat even if it was said in jest, but they were never going to delve deeper on the game/coaching this late in the season especially with a board meeting that evening.

To me yesterday was embarrassing, not heartbreaking. We lost so we'll finish 14th or so instead of 12th. Maybe a little soul-crushing but nothing on the 2023 semi final for example.

I think Max is a good leader in terms of personal relationships, but we definitely had a breakdown of strategy in the final quarter.

Had a Sydney fan mock me in a group chat so i said 'at least we weren't the only team to lose a game in one quarter this round', was happy with that - but then he said that was 'the best comeback ever'. 1-1 after 90 minutes, onto Extra-Time and penalties it seems.

I know we're all angry and annoyed from today's capitulation, but there is no need to start throwing haymakers at each other on here.

The entire 4th quarter was a moment

We had last quarter fades in 2024, we started this season with an absolutely abysmal last quarter %. Whether its coaching, the fight in the player or fitness - It's all part of the recipe. And we need to examine the cookbook,

Thanks - i would have given you a positive 'reaction' but it would have made me too sad.

It's difficult only having one sub, need to balance the risk of early injury vs getting quick/fresh legs in at the end. Chuck has positive attributes, but they're only shown when everything is going well. To be a good sub IMO you need to have one standout attribute whether that be versatility/pace/physicality/marking/goals or whatever - and Spargo doesnt really tick any of those boxes. As i said in another thread, if he's not starting, he probably should be lining up for Casey.

Can someone please explain the last 8 seconds to me. The infringement. the pause, no one following in NWM

Its an interesting one, our injury list hasn't been that bad this year, but our 4th quarters have been diabolical

I am ready to walk right now, right into the ocean
