Speaking of someone that has lost the edge. Goes from a genuine innovator on the 80s/90s to be indistinguishable from pedestrian session guitarists.

TMac is one of footy's great stories, going at pick 53 or so in the draft, overcoming challenging foot injuries and reinventing himself at both ends of the ground over the years. Good on him!

It happened a long time ago but today’s controversies pale in comparison …

 

I'm sincerely hoping history bears this out.

Brad Green was captain in Gawn's first year, and is now president. The tweet isn't hilarious or cheeky and doesn't mean anything about our club or recent affairs. It was just a stats question. 

Ah, thanks for clarifying - I forgot their playing careers overlapped.

... still hilarious though.

Cheeky post by the skip. 😆

Wowee, that's hilarious!  Good grief I do wonder what's been going on behind closed doors to precipitate a tweet like that, though.

Just reported on AFL.com.au that Sam Frost is out for the year with foot stress fracture. Bit of a blow for Hawthorn (who cares), but I'm sad for Frosty as a sometimes entertaining former Demon.

Geologists have just confirmed that the Barassi Line has shifted further north just now.  

Hogan again!

This will be finished before we probably even get an update on Caulfield...

That's what we need to be pitching for Caulfield:

The Barassi Community and Dog-Walking Centre

Home of the Melbourne Football Club

Get it done!!!

Trac is there at Casey watching the girls play today.

He's dead to me.

Feels like a lifetime ago when we comprehensively dealt with both of these teams back early in the season.

We didn’t have a shorts sponsor for half the year and Hertz probably got a cheap rate for the second half of the year. 

That's wierd - I would have thought sponsors would sign up for at least a season - did a shorts sponsor pull out or something?  Why would Hertz have gotten a discount in the 2nd half of the year - some kind of trigger clause relating to membership numbers reached or crowd numbers or something?

So what happened to going to Adelaide to be near his kids ?

Maybe that's what has motivated his desire to leave the state?

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Trac has withdrawn from the event, to be replaced by May and Oliver as per Tom Morris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

One thing is for sure….STOP DRAFTING PLAYERS FROM WA and SA

Hah!  Like where Trac's from?

Trac is a lot of things, but an Emo he is not.

**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.
