We will be able to tell our grandkids that we were privileged to watch the Great Max Gawn play. What a legend.

While he’s at it, he can also pick our next coach. What could go wrong? 

Maybe it'll be 3rd time lucky... 🤷‍♂️

Trac has withdrawn from the event, to be replaced by May and Oliver as per Tom Morris

One would think pulling out of events you are headlining might be damaging to your brand.

It's bed-time here in Europe. Can someone please urgently page me if there are any fresh articles published in Australia recapping the previous ones. Cheers. 

Might be worth staying up another 45 mins for the Roffey interview on SEN...?

**A Heartfelt Request to Reconsider**❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💙💙💙💙💙

🧙‍♂️Ray Taylor in the socials 

Hi Christian,

I hope this message finds you well. As a passionate supporter of the Melbourne Football Club, I have been truly inspired by your incredible talent, leadership, and dedication to the team over the years. You have been a vital part of our journey, and it's hard to imagine the club without you.

I recently heard about your indication to leave the MFC, and I wanted to reach out personally to ask if you might reconsider this decision. You have made such a significant impact here, both on and off the field, and it feels like there is still so much more that we can achieve together.

I understand that decisions like these are incredibly personal and can be influenced by many factors. If there’s anything the club or we, as fans, can do to support you and help change your mind, please let us know. The next six weeks are crucial, and we would be so grateful for any chance to continue seeing you in the red and blue.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. No matter what you decide, you will always have the unwavering support of myself and the entire MFC community. 

Wishing you all the best.  Ray 

 

we are all Ray 

Sadly to Ray, he just doesn't give a [censored] about you.

If he does play in opposition colours in 25, it will have a level of animosity between the players and particularly the fans not seen since Carey. At least it will be a big crowd for him

...and we thought Maynard copped some boos.  Look out!

I like Xerri's season but it's honestly just anti-Melbourne bias or Gawn AA fatigue to suggest Xerri's had a better year.

Gawn's the AA ruck, and deserves it.

There was a fair bit of Gawn and AA mentions in commentary during the last two of our games this season. Fingers crossed. 

Good god, De Goey and Crisp? Pies can keep their bar-groping and tween sexting filth, thanks.

No way they offer up TDK. 

TDK could do amazing things for our system.

isn't the trip to Noosa old news?  Sorted last week.

Yes, though I'd understand if if the recent developments would reignite and recolour that earlier dissatisfaction.

I remember a discussion a while ago about how nice our players are. And you said at the time there’s one who’s quite rude to support staff, volunteers etc. I always suspected it was number 13 but now I wonder anew if it might be someone who is at present the subject of wild speculation.

FWIW, back at the Richmond Praccy / family day early this year, of all the players to be out there signing autographs, the very last two players remaining out there long after the scheduled closing time were our Titan, Max Gawn, and one Clayton Oliver, battered and bruised from a bone crunching bump, and fresh off the off-season from hell. Speaks volumes about his character.

Can you imagine the bont or Toby green turning around and saying this stuff. Nope. 

The crowd thing didn't seem an issue when he signed the 5 year deal last year

Yeah, it is [censored] pathetic.

Reckon he's as good as gone but if you want to cheer yourself up then hop on over to his Insta stories and treat yourself to some Ralph Lauren Polo Aftershave for Father's Day.

 

I've heard of phoning in a promo gig before, but this is next-level. 

Would the Tigers give us their first-rounder to take him off their hands? 32 next year and injury-ravaged. No thanks.

We had him for 1.5 years out of 4 and I'm being generous.

The 2 finals series in 22 and 23 his body wouldn't allow him to compete anymore not his fault in any way but this list decision has cost us another flag.

Well, sure. On the other hand 2m key fwds are like hen's teeth at trade time. No BBB likely no 2021 flag. So getting him on the 4 years needed to peel him out of North may have cost us a theoretical 2nd flag, but the alternative may well have been zero flags. I know which I prefer.

You must have has quite the roller-coaster of an evening yesterday!

How many free were Carlton paid in that last quarter???

Freeeeo-way to go. Knock the Blues out of the fiiii-nals.

Epic stuff @WalkingCivilWar and the Demon Army.

Love the tributes to ANB and BBB too. Can't believe Lingy had a sook about that. What a tòol.

Gold Coast are going to do it, aren't they. [censored] the bed in the last quarter and slip back below us on percentage to screw us of a draft position, despite them having had more access to talent for less achievement than any sporting club in history [citation needed].

Geelong love spanking teams at home in the last round that already have one foot in mad Monday.

  One of my decades long queries - do we have a sports psychologist - may be very relevant here. 

Absolutely we do. Petracca spoke glowingly in his BnF acceptance speech last year of the work the team psychologist had done with him.
