The softer draw gives me hope, hope that we'll win more, hope that i'll spend less time in the MCC bars as a result, hope that I save money as a result

Wonder what ramifications Burgess will have for perma-crocked players given his reputation. Some may see what DB could do first before I pulled the plug.

Power Coach? So we do want Hinkley ?

I follow Brad Green on twitter and he RT'd Ricky Nixon onto my timelime. Ricky tweeted the following after the Freo Coach/CEO sacking; "Imagine if you saved one of your best players from walking by offering his Dad the CEO role - hhhmmm I’m pretty Bray Shaw you get where I’m coming from #ChickenGoesBANG" If this is the case I can imagine some serious sniffing for Angus coming up

Estimate 2 bit hard to estimate as we aren't privy to the contract and all its clauses. 2019 financials will be interesting, gates should be down a bit given our form and also we didn't host Anzac Day Eve or Queens Birthday

whoever it is, they need to help break this statistic i just saw on twitter The last Rising Star nomination for MELB was Oscar McDonald in 2016 (their 4th nom that year) Every other club has had at least one nomination since the start of the 2018 season

less time watching the game at least

I'm a MCC member too, at a minimum i'll get the basic Dual add on but still see myself getting the premium add on. Also Raise Hell was a great slogan, unfortunately we've raised nothing this year.

A lot of players mentioned in this thread are squad depth options, lists do need some players like these.

must be the overpriced drinks

MCG Predicting 25,000 tonight

Enjoy the New Balance products, some of the sizing a little odd but enjoy the mad discount we get

Hunt with the assist for OMacs first goal. What can't he do?

Is Hunt injured or being dropped? Was curious who'd win this race Petracca 22 Hunt 20

There's always a whipping boy on a sporting team, social media amplifies this. There seem to be quite a lot of 'targets' this season (Frost, Omac, ANB, Stretch, Preuss, JKH, Wagners, Lewis, Spargo, Weideman, garlett etc ). Is this more of an indictment on our list or our expectations? Or is it just an online pile-on due to frustrations at our season

Please ask what he thinks about the nickname Fritzl

I'm not sure about this, accurate kicks into the F50 aren't part of our current game plan ?

The issue in that photo has been here all season, always going to the ball and leaving the man. that combined with accusations of laziness and work ethic, how much of it is down to (what may be) a potentially flawed game plan? Or have they just simply downed tools for the year?

Whilst this thread no doubt makes us sad, Let's predict the rest of our season; Slightly easier task Final Position for Melbourne - Melbourne Best & Fairest winner- Melbourne Top Goal Scorer - (top 5 listed for your reference) Christian Petracca (21) Jayden Hunt (19) Tom McDonald (18) Bayley Fritsch (15) James Harmes (12) Sam Weideman (11) Jake Melksham (10) At least we have surpassed 2014 winner Chris Dawes (20 goals)

To quote the great Mark Bosnich "Stats are like a bikini, they show a lot, but not everything.”

A trade for someone who isn't over the HILL ?

Whenever I watch Melbourne there are some things that I know are going to happen; Mids all leave their man to become ball magnets Long bombs into the forward 50. These are expected, Frost gives us the unexpected so he is an excitement machine, no one knows what he will do next. He's a wildcard that must be treasured.

This quote is thrown about a bit in England but it's very relevant for our 2019 season “It’s not the despair, Laura. I can take the despair. It’s the hope I can’t stand. John Cleese (as Brian Stimpson in the film Clockwise)

I was asked this the other day, I think the heat is slowly being turned up with some of the recent comments from commentators etc.
