Did the siren guy die on the button just now?

Waiting for about 80% of the after game coverage to be about how gallant Carlton have been, what a year they've had, etc., ignoring the lions.

I wonder too if we may be waiting to see how things play out this trade period before perhaps paying one of them out.

Current situation is a bummer, but in terms of list management BBB's contract terms got him to us and helped us win a flag, and pretty sure it was reported that TMac's last extension spread his money over more years, providing cap space to lock in our Tracs and Olivers, etc.

The guy is being paid 20 grand a week! He was attending training, etc. and not injured. It'd be beyond unprofessional for him to declare himself unavailable for senior selection.

Demonland changed the thread title to "Irrelevant tool calls the Melbourne Football Club fragile"

They were flopping all over the place, milking frees and reversals that cost us goals, now we find that we've helped keep their best player on the field when he's leaking blood? Fyck our players are dumb sometimes.

We should have contested the Kozzy suspension, if for no other reason than to cause Carlton distraction in the lead up to the Lions prelim.

On TV to me it didn't look touched. I didn't see a any finger deflection as the ball passed by the hand. The shadow of the ball quickly passing over the hand may have given the impression it was touched, but I didn't see evidence of physical contact.

On that, wouldn't the AFL be relishing the boon a QLD or NSW team's success would have for the growth of the game up there? Particularly a maiden GWS flag? Personally I'd love nothing more than seeing the Pies and blues fall short next weekend.

He did. Literally the first words of his presser were "I'm feeling like probably every Melbourne supporter and all the players next door there - pretty shattered."

Hope you gave 'em both barrels.

I could see GWS knocking the Pies off. Port... no.

A picture perfect day down here at Casey Fields. Skills are fantastic. We've built a hell of a Dees side here.

Is Brodie going to dump his MFC gear in a Brotherhood bin on the drive home tonight?

6 May 5 Gawn 4 Smith 3 Spargo 2 Lever 1 Petracca -1 viney (undid great work with shockingly predictable last kick) -2 Fritsch (needed more) -3 Chandler (great early season but faded) -4 Pickett (so costly undisciplined acts) -5 TMac (sadly not physically able) -6 JJ (saw him maybe twice and did f-all)

Boo hoo.

If he doesn't they need to pay him out. We can't afford to plan around him up fwd.

Worth it.

I'm on the verge of laughing because that outcome was virtually inevitable. Danger signs all year - the Brisbane debacle in rnd 2, the essendon debacle, etc. But in the end the weight of losses of personnel, the inability to get the Grundy combo working and our widespread lack of foot skills did us in - exemplified by Vineys clanger in the dying minutes to turn the ball over and gift them a goal.

Tmac and JJ worse than useless

Because they like it.

Sub him off already he's been in dry dock this game.

We will wear them down. They were pathetic in the 2nd half last week.
