Roost it far

Next test is Hawthorn in a fortnight. Need a good win against WC. Tempting to take Campbell across and rest Max as much as possible to have him cherry ripe for Meek. No VFL game again is poor timing. Fritsch is miles off it and I’d be trading him on current output. JVR or AJ, Turner and Melksham back in, Fullerton, Sharp and Fritsch out.

Max Gawn

Yeh…..Nah

And Demonland falls silent

I can talk cheese

I’ve got plenty of cheese and the skiing news if you’d like to catch up

No because at his best he reads the play well, finds good position and kicks beautifully

No idea what will happen tonight. Expecting an entertaining game but in reality I’d like to win by 120 points

If we play like we did last week Fritsch could have a field day if he’s playing deep forward like Koz did last week to great affect.

Once again Morris is likely full of 💩

That’s likely the worst argument I’ve ever heard for not putting someone in jail

Does he have any power to make things difficult?

I’ve no idea of the breakup of types of crimes that end up in jail. What I do is these violent attacks are all too common in Australian society. Maybe if we gave these guys 3 months in prison things would change. I’m not pretending to know the answer but whatever we’re doing atm isn’t working. Just say Balta was jailed for 3 months, a reasonably high profile sportsman, does that save others from being king hit and then repeatedly smashed in the face??

I’m not enamoured of him but could easily see him become captain. Wouldn’t be a bad thing.

It’s not about basic understanding, I understand the law and in plenty of cases I think it sends the wrong message. I get we do t send first offenders to jail very often but maybe if we did people would stop beating on others. Balta’s attack was way out of proportion to what he was apparently defending. 3 months in the can would get people thinking and likely save a few from being assaulted.

We can create a nice little “us against them” vibe. Maybe we should just win the flag, that’ll shut them up.

Maybe if we jailed them the thuggery would ease up some

The blood bayers! Seriously? He demolished the guy. I’d have put him in jail. Imagine going out for the night and ending up in the wrong side of that beating? This guy could easily have hit his head and been killed or handicapped. There's no place for this. Our society is way too lenient on violence in my opinion. Don’t get me started on violence against women/wives/partners. Send them to jail and see if that reduces the violence.

Bunch of utter peanuts.

What’s he been saying?

This is good news. Goal umpires train by bending backwards and looking up at the sky with arms outstretched.

3 - 6 months jail would of been an appropriate punishment

Im looking forward to seeing May and McVee added to the defence. We look a great mix of strength and dash back there now. I also think Sparrow’s finding a role on the HFF and enjoyed his game against Freo. Big game against a rapidly improving and well coached Richmond.

I'll say this about Tracc's apparent speech on Saturday. If he's saying out loud that he's fully invested that can do wonders for a team that's just endured a 0-5 start. If the playing and coaching unit can ride this out and start beating some good sides there's nothing stopping us causing some carnage over the rest of the season. Firstly a well drilled and super keen Richmond await. Underestimate at our peril. I hate to say it but it would be very Melbourne to drop this game.
