  1. Trust me…i’m a veteran.
  2. What I’m reading is that you were single handedly responsible for Max missing that goal.
  3. You mean the backline missing 3 of our starting backs? You also called for Spargo to be subbed off in the last, when Turner had already been subbed. Might be time to have a spell.
  4. Out - JVR Fritsch and Henderson In - Turner, Tholstrup and Fullarton
  5. Annual New Balance discount code. Haymes paint discount when I decide to repaint the house. Easy access to the bar at games.
  6. We have culture? Sorry mate but that’s the same rationale that stopped us drafting Dusty.

    Blame Adelaide for trading the pick to them.

    …and your last sentence is where the problem lies - he knows it. Plays like a bloke who couldn’t even consider being dropped, still living off a 6 goal Grand Final. An absolute downhill skiing lazy flop since 2021. Zero defensive effort and zero grunt on top on an inability to kick straight. Move him on to the highest bidder, this club can’t afford anymore passengers than it already has.
  9. Luckily my membership card is inside a frozen takeaway container with leftover spaghetti bolognaise in it.
  10. His defensive efforts are complete garbage. Watch last weeks game, his attempts to chase are laughable, especially for a backman. Accumulates cheap stats these days. I respect him for his past contribution, but he is either done or simply needs to work harder.
  11. Sadly I think the complete opposite will happen. I think the only one we’ll retain is Clarry.

    Dear God no thanks! Choco is supposed to be our “skills coach” of which we completely lack and the game has well and truly gone past him.

    Listened to Greeny on the way in today being interviewed on 3AW. A tough listen in itself, despite the commendable job he’s done standing in as President. When asked about Goodwin he replied with the standard rhetoric response “the players absolutely love Goody”. That’s all great and everything, but im a little sick of hearing it after results like today. Maybe the playing group love Goody because he’s a little too much of a soft touch and lets them get away with a little too much? I’ve never played at this level but what I knew while playing was the you should “respect” your coach, to the point that you feared them and constantly tried to gain their approval. I can’t say that i ever loved a coach but I did respect a coach enough to run through a brick wall for them. I know the above is a generational thing, but this team has way too many players expecting to get selected the following week no matter what their performance is like.

    It is now abundantly clear, the effect the premature retirement of Brayshaw has had on this club on so many levels. Start the rebuild, beginning from the top. There is zero point attempting a mini reboot with Tassie coming in.

    Serious question. How long have we signed Nathan Jones on for? Granted we are only three games in, but alarm bells are starting to ring. Why the hell would we bring in an untried coach to manage this midfield? I’ll sit tight for now out of respect, given his status at the club, but man…we are a one paced, plodding slaughterhouse right now with no second gear.
  17. He was fine. I spoke to him. Threw both of them at our players.
  18. I’m 10 pints deep, my phone is blowing up and preparing to walk home from the G topless to avoid the embarrassment and ridicule How good’s being a Melbourne supporter.
  19. Game hasn’t started yet Chook
  20. True, he may not be reaching his full potential in this side. But he’s also an extremely lazy footballer.
  21. Agreed on Lindsay Gonz, but that wasn’t my point.

    Hopefully it’s us on the other end of the line.
