NON-MFC: Round 23
Pies would have to more than 186 us next week to make the 8.

NON-MFC: Round 23
That seemed a little over the top by King there. Parker got 6 weeks running past the ball and wiping someone out. Houston's action looked more "in play". I'd imagine a 4 to 5 week suspension would be likely. Silly way to end his Port career. And kissing involvement in finals goodbye too when they're 2nd on the ladder! Hinkley must be spitting chips.

Farewell Alex Neal-Bullen
The Nibbler news was leaked before the club announced it. Where is the evidence it was a club-orchestrated leak? The McAdam trade is on the club, not Nibbler. Though if he can get a preseason under him, maybe his 2025 will be brighter.

But in this case that's effectively playing hard-ball with Nibbler, not Port/Crows. They haven't head-hunted him, he's asking to go home without demands on which club he ends up at.

Welcome to Demonland Matthew Jefferson
Looking forward to this thread next week if Jeffo kicks a bag for Casey but BBB is selected for a swansong against the Pies.
- An external review of the Melbourne Football Club is required!

Season 2024 Over for Clayton Oliver
Just think, he could have had it fixed properly at the time rather than endure 5 months of battering, and he'd have probably been back on the park months ago.

When you knew 2024 was over?
Gus's retirement announcement made me worried after the off-season from hell we'd just dealt with. Going down to the tigers in the preseason family day game was perturbing. When we completely stopped in the last quarter in opening round against the Swans, I had a sinking feeling, but was prepared to put that down to the humid conditions. When Brisbane completely outplayed us I should have known. But the nails in the coffin were the WCE loss and the 90-point Freo spanking. It was clear then that our new game plan had fallen apart. That was when I really noticed handballs going to empty space and frustrated players yelling at each other for not being where they should have been. The transition from a happy camp where players were smiling and celebrating small acts like desperate spoils as a unified team to what we've seen in the 2nd half of this season has been depressing.

It turns out having a child several hundred kilometres from family support can be difficult - and for new parents, in ways that simply cannot be understood beforehand. And WTF is wrong with Adelaide?

Rebuild Time WERRIDEE Style
The Demonland interview with May earlier this year (or was it last year?) was telling - May didn't sound at all confident of going beyond his current contract - noting preseasons getting more difficult, age catching up, etc.
