The Jackson FIX

Dangerfield would get time if that incident happened this year. They’ve moved the goalposts on anything head high this year.

Go home DreamTeam points, you’re drunk

He had the ball. That helps his argument. The other guy was low, that helps his argument. His elbow was up above the point of his shoulder: that is the only question in all of this

30+ touches is at a VERY attractive price

Kinda strange inclusion. With BBBrown in I woulda thought they’d like to get some time into TMac on a wing... Less likely to happen with Baker in. Unless Brayshaw just goes straight into the guts today

Prophetic

On one hand you could argue it is hard to blame him - he escaped the club when it really wasn’t a great place to be. On the other hand you could argue he is a Judas. I’m with this hand.

drove past there the other day and there seems to be some monstrous building being constructed where the Colts/baseball pitch is. It looks strange

Agreed, which is why there has been nothing more than the channel 10 story so far. 10 reporter getting the intel is a strange leak but if that is as bad as the leaks are from the club nowadays I am happy.

Play Melk deep With Chandler coming in to play Melk’s high half forward role. Keeps the pace/ pressure in the 50. Marking power the obvious risk although you just hope Jakey and TMac bring their hands

Not begrudging his right to talk to other clubs, but I just wish he hadn’t come out spruiking the decision was ‘never in doubt’. Just feels false and dishonest when clearly there was some doubt. I’ve always struggled to warm to Oliver’s personality and this is an example of why. Having said all of that, I’m far more interested in his footballing performance than his personality.

Number on the back aside, whenever I see this kit I immediately think of Russell Robertson. Not sure why.

This. Is. Good. News. Looking forward to collecting the details so I can jam it down every Carlton-Supporting-Mate that have already bought Carlton tops with #13 on the back

Proliferation of media channels/programs is definitely changing journalism. After 3 rounds 10 years ago most of the media commentary around an unproven team who goes 3 zip would be ‘wait and see’ but nowadays commentators are obsessed with taking an early position and making bold statements. ‘Can Melbourne win the premiership’ questions on podcasts are all about headline/traffic grabbing and very little about the reality of where we are at.

A lot of hype about Moore but he gets a lot of goals kicked on him

Conceptually like the idea but you’ll lose a small (eg Sparrow) to achieve that which might throw the defensive balance and mid-rotation plan out.

The 1%er. Don’t feel like I’ve seen enough of that in recent years. I hope the young fella gets called out when the team review the game

Gawn Hunt Langdon Trac Pickett Viney (Lever stiff)

Not the thread for it but Cameron Ling is limited as a human being

They need to burn it down and start again. The editors there have too much power (I’ve had to deal with them before) - they are obsessed with video and have ended up with this shocking imbalance. Unreadable/unwatchable/unbrowsable.

My guess is the coaches don’t judge his performance on either of those stats. I thought he looked too slow pre-season but his pressure has been good first two games.

“Scully to kick 3”

Quiet early but important in the last

PTSD kicked into gear tonight seeing Geelong rob the opposition of the win at the cattery late in the game. I still have tuohy nightmares
