This fallacy that T Mac plays wing goes back to 2018 when he in pre season trained on the wing and when he made the AFL in about Round5 he started fit snout 5 mins on the wing to warm up and run around before going to CHF. For some reason a number of D/Lers want Tmac on the wing or say he can play a game there. Basically this is a nonsense as he is not conditioned to play that role in AFL even given he has a good tank enough to be a lively CHF who makes things fo much easier for the small forwards to crumb and goal. Tmac also ensures if he doesn't mark tbe ball in the CHF position sometimes as a high half forward or just leading to the wing like BBB does sometimes, his opponent dies not also and keeps the ball in our forward zone. It just always riles me when D/Lers want Tmac "on the wing " as they truly don't understand his proper role in the team. He is no more a winger than you or me. Forget 2018 and his fleeting role but I sure rate him as a very important player in our 2022 team and can't wait for him to be fit for say a Prelim (or Semi Final) to bolster us up forward. So please give up this wing sh.t once and for all it's just fantasy in a real 2022 world. PS As he showed in Round1 going back into defence is his forte though if we need him to. That is real. Go Tmac!

Now I know why Melb has had such a spreadeagled MCC seating membership all season on the upper levels. This is called DOUBLE DIPPING and the MCC should be calling this out if any member is discovered doing this on Match day and penalising members who practice this selfishness. Ultimately leads to when the seats are needed to some members missing out or their families being penalised. Hopefully Covid style ticketing can also be discontinued and the previous systems reintroduced which hopefully are honest and not capable of being defrauded.

Agree Layzie

We have offered Toby a 2 year deal also I believe. Tommo I think has one year left on his contract so unless things change and he or the Club change their minds he is a 2023 starter I have not been Joel's biggest fan and until last year at the end when he finally realised he was part of a defence team he was a liability. Yes he was injured agsin this year but he is no doubt now up to AFL standard and the fact that we at long last are trying him up forward is a big potential bonus. Maybe one year with an option if either extending for another contract would be wiser but let's go with it snd we could well be rewarded with a latent star in the twilight of his career. Hoping Joel can be injury free of course. PS Remember how Roosy revived Lord Nev to greatness for 5 Years for our defence then this could well be another great decision now for our forward line of the future. Let it play out to the full I say. Go Joel.

Most "new" champion choices often make the team in their second breakout year as Selectors trust the new champs on the block. Players like Sinclair and Saad are one hit wonders generally.

Except Bont in the third quarter of a Granny

Yes we have many supporters and thankfully are not all like you. Most thinking fans will not harbour a grudge to Dogga if he contributes to a second flag. While I can't completely understand Luke's real logic of moving now (2 years later at least has many advantages career and life wise) I don't have all the facts and mind of a 20 year old and if he leaves all the best to him. I am equally as sure our excellent FD directors will make good decisions in compensating us in the trade negotiations. But to publicly turn against and boo a young star that helped us make history in his developmental years is harsh and churlish. We should applaud him as a Demon legend who helped change our Club becoming better. I am not "naive" enough to believe that is all that will happen and no doubt that some good natured or worse banter will be directed at LJ from our fans. "Good luck" in your attempt to stir up angst but our trade result is up to us and no reflection on Dogga or reason for him to be cast as a completely bad villain in this scenario.

Agree It's the players private celebration Supporters can do it any time they want after a win etc. Inspiring

Absolute rubbish Its not Dogga's fault who we recruit. We may only get draft picks and not trade players as well. Give Melb fans more credit we are better than that.

There are lifts in the Warne Stand (Near Gate 4 and 5) or escalators in the Olympic/Northern Stand.( Gate3)

Yes good points CYB

His last 6 games have been very good and he is developing a real sense of impact and occasion. Is now playing a lot more front and centre and reaping the benefits. Is an improved more consistent and rounded small forward IMO in 2022 than 2021. Watch out for him in the Finals as a real x factor and point of difference, in fact a match winner.

check your junk mail and ring Club membership Dept if no email by very soon after 9am.

I have a suspicion that this grading was for Grand Final tickets only. it's all in first in bestvdressed if you look at the email posted about an hour or two ago. Good Luck

Agree those last roars were scary loud snd Dees fans all jumped up on their toes !!!

Alter your flights !!!!

D 35 are you serious? If you are shame on you They have been in about 20 out of 22 finals series that's why. We have played in about 7 in that time. We should have beaten Swans at G in Round 12 with dodgy umpiring and defence injuries in game. Time we put them to the sword!

It would at least square the ledger but not likely to happen even with Trac sharing some of those spoils. The three will end up with Maxy ( who has contributed his own legacy as a leader and ruckman and greatest assistant to both in their careers ) as our greatest ever if 2 more flags and Brownlow for the greatest midfielders in our history. Greatest ever Dees Flower All individual awards Clarry 3 flags individual awards plus Charlie Trac 3 flags individual awards plus Charlie Maxy 3 flags individual awards Top 5 in Charlie 2/3 Tim and huge contribution as 3 time flag Captain and in trio as most substantial provider for Clarry and Trac in their individual and team brilliance and results. Honorable mentions to any Dees with multiple individual awards inc Charlie and 3, 4 5, or 6 flags.

Correct Kick It Loser of our game plays winner of Dogs vs Freo in Semi Final then winner vs Cats /Pies in Prelim. Winner of our Qualifying Final game vs Swans awaits loser of Cats/Pies and winner of Lions/ Tigers in Semi Final result. We host the Prelim Final at the G and winner then proceeds to GF. Winner of GF at the G is Premiers in 2022. Go Dees !!

BBP please don't spoil a good story with the mis truth!! It was Covid which was the determining factor in Finals locations in 2021. Pert was only being cheeky knowing full well that the G was not going yo be used at all in the 2021 Finals Series.

Why would you risk him ? Meaningless .I would have thought. He IMO played well vs Carlton and was back to his disposal best. Risking injury is too great a threat for any small reward to play him in a practice game which is what next weeks game is all about.

Please note Above post is directed at Goodwindees. For his extraordinary posting!

Since when do you run your Club looking over your back shoulder worrying about your opponents in another State. Melbourne is big enough and strong enough NOW to be positioning itself well within the higher Vic Clubs and to be fair although both SA Clubs have plenty of supporters and home grown faux strength both don't put the fear of God into any Top4 worth's their salt. Whst management skills would you place on May (30 years with 2/3 seasons left) and Jakie Lever ( 26. Yes 26 and far from finished has another 100/150 plus top games ahead if fitness permits.). Pray tell GW?

Who would you go after for our Forward Line OD? As usual glass half empty no effort re glass half full in your post!

DD 36 Your either ignoring fact because you don't like Ooze and his contribution to 2021 Flag and this season OR you are a very bad judge with this one of your worst opinions on our success. Of course we would miss Ooze and he wil be hard to replace in the midfield and we May as well get a NEW forward coach at the same time.
