I would say mentioning Tommo, Hibberd and Smith all prove we do need him in a roundabout way. Tommo isn't currently playing and he is more your 3rd tall. Hibbo isn't currently playing and he is the most similar to Maynard, he is becoming quite limited with his movement. Smith will likely never play on the sort of player Maynard would, again.

I'd like to see Mitch Robinson get a fair whack in the hip pocket also. If he did that in public, he'd either get the daylights belted out of him or scare the living suitcase out of someone. To do it in a place of employment is absolutely irresponsible

There’s definite intent from Greene to intimidate the umpire. The AFL will have no choice but to suspend him, they simply can’t allow it to happen

Has improved our side immensely. He’s competing and giving himself plenty of opportunity. The club would be stoked to have him where he is fitness wise and contributing, coming from such a low base

Really good to see Sparrow have a good finals game, he’s been building for it all year. I am almost scared to say it, but we are in a very healthy position leading into the next two games. Everyone is chipping in and we are playing with a real purpose as a group

Cameron is a cheat, we need someone to sit goal side of him. Think we were more comfortable at the intensity, pretty happy with that first quarter in a whole. Brisbane can’t sustain the chaos for 4 quarters

I'm not suggesting we trade Gus, but wasn't he given a new contract the same year he finished 3rd in the Brownlow? He would be on healthy money himself

Takes a pretty special kind of character to walk into the place now and think they will make a difference. Whoever takes on this job will have a monumental task trying to create stability and do their job when they know the guillotine could drop at a moments notice. I think the instability this year and the handling of Teague will create irreparable damage to the club ala Adelaide Crows and their infamous camp

Claims on BigFooty (take with grain of salt) that Elliot Yeo wants out of West Coast, if there is even a glimmer of truth to that we should be on the phone

From memory she is due on one of the big Spring Carnival days, he keeps saying what if I’m two legs up in the quaddie

$$$$$ is the only answer. I think a very high volume of AFL footballers are being encouraged to treat the game like a short term occupation. Suits managers, suits the players and keeps the offseason interesting. Someone at Carlton must have an incredible marketing pitch because there is very little foundation in the place at present @daisycutter I thought the same about Rowell, guess he did a lot of weight work rather than load on his legs

I think he's still impeded by injury, looks to be lacking a lot of energy in the way he moves. Would not be surprised if he wanted to get back home in the next 12-18 months, his career has not gone according to plan so far

Not specifically related to finals merch, but there's a rather ordinary selection of Melbourne apparel in general. Finals were all but guaranteed quite some time ago, you would think they would be pushing a lot more through. I don't own any Melbourne related clothing and wanted to get something for the last 4-5 weeks, can't find anything that really makes me want to buy it

Very classy interview, credit to Trac

Holy [censored], we were nowhere. Maxxy, you absolute [censored] legend

Rather than keep on with the G&T’s, I think I’ll turn it off and regroup for next week. This has been the performance everyone feared, even for the most optimistic of us

Started the game with a few mid-strengths, already hit the G&T’s before half time. This could get ugly

Sparrow is clunking them tonight

We wouldn’t even fit 6 of our reserves players in the North or GCS sides, but love the optimism

Parker > Viney Problem solved Edit: Little bit tongue in cheek, but I am big on the fact you should always be looking to improve. Parker is top 5-10 player in our side, if he wanted to come you would never say no.

The most recent evidence suggests he is a long, long way ahead of Melksham. Believe Lynch has missed a lot of footy this year through injury but he’s a much more consistent player than Melk and definitely knows how to play a role, plus he’s taller and harder to match up on.

Many on here would think Nibbler and AVB would get it done. Depending on how this year pans out, I could be convinced too

He's definitely too good to go on the AFL scrap heap. Would think he could play the T-Mac role with ease or alternatively he could play the opposing wing to Ed.

I am firmly in the same camp. Think we are probably 2 quality mids off the pace of the best midfields. Yes, we can beat sides but we have been very blessed with both of Clarry and Trac's durability - That won't happen forever. I'm very bullish on Jordon and can see Sparrow making the grade. In my eyes it all comes down to another proper, quick winger and a workhorse mid that fills the gap between Clarry/Trac and the rest
