Thanks Picket and well done. Something to look forward to as well...two sons of guns Taj Woewodin and Kynan Brown playing in the same team.

Spot on The Demon Duck. The member did not have an engaged microphone but Mr Pert did. What Mr Pert said was rude and unnecessary and for mine set the mood for the rest of the meeting. In fact I thought he had a marauding look on his face the entire time. As for question time I think Mr Pert should acknowledge that not all of our heroes pull on footy boots.

Agreed. I was referring to the point of order regarding the streaming of question time. They turned the mike off after that.

This was 15 minutes after Ms Roffey refused to answer the question. There was a fair amount of spin last night at the AGM..though it was at the MCG.

Don't book the church yet.

I was 5 years old in 1958 when the older English kid in the upstairs flat told me I had to barrack for Melbourne as they were the best. I have never considered changing even though my father followed Essendon.

Bran Wilson, White and arguably Peter Moore

Langdon has not been the same player since his concussion early last season.

Maynard has already said it was a"football act" and therefore by definition he meant to do it. Intentional and 5 weeks.

Chook, you have simplified it as it should be. Ball had left the area and then a head high bump caused injury. Onus on Maynard.

Absolutely love it!!

Listening to David King on SEN this morning he was adamant that Collingwood should have 75% of the QF seat allocation because they finished on top. Apart from being codswollop it would not be a good look to have the MCG 75% empty after 3 quarter time.

I suggest that Schache will again be sub. This gives versatility as we can then move Smith back iif need be.

Actually the notion of a double chance is a furphy. Lose your first final and you have a second chance. Win your first final and you lose your second chance.

Glad there are no player signing as we need every one of them.

Maybe G Cornes was just being loyal as he played a season or two with the Shinboners.

I had the same problem and rang the club to book a seat for me. It may have been that I had Ticketmaster opened twice. Try turning your device off and back on.

Kossie giving away more free kicks is minor concern though combined with his lack of free kicks awarded it is worrying particularly as most are in the forward half. Unfortunately I believe that Kossie is now in the umpires book under "small forwards who duck". True or not there are legitimate free kicks that need to be,awarded such as the one not awarded to Adelaide last week that might have changed the result. I fear that Spargo may also be in the umpires book under the same heading.

I am also confused. Several MFC supporters and the MFC tipped in bucketloads to have Gosch's widened and re-surfaced only 12 months ago.

I am not knocking ANB just saying he appears to be out of form. As you say a "knock on" here and a " courageous mark" there is great but even a stopped clock will be of benefit twice day. It is the other 23 hours and 58 minutes that cause problems. ANB needs to be of benefit for longer than two minutes.

As I see it Alex Neal-Bullen is not playing well and may even be a momentum crusher. I would replace ANB with Harmes. Harmes can play a role, is a strong mark and is a good kick for goal. BBB is no longer able to play at AFL level especially at crunch time of the season. I see Chandler as an important link, he is just not kicking to goal as he should although he has shown that he can be accurate early in the season.

Steve May, as always, will play on Tom Hawkins. May owes him a broken eye socket and a hamstring.

With Smith and Petty both playing forward it also gives us a choice if one should need to go and play in the back half. They are both desperately needed marking options forward as well.

No Oliver?

"Tacklee" is now firmly planted in my Oxford dictionary.
