Kick_It_To_Pickett

What was the ratio decidendi ?

He was laughing with the Port players at the end. That’s pathetic

Interesting ‘highlights’ package. He moves well and is a great size, but most of his disposals were junk bombs or misdirected kicks inside 50, other than one. So, I guess he’ll fit right in

Absolutely not. We need an A grader that is ready to play. You don’t get them with picks 10 and 14 as we have been attempting

With Ashcroft and the GC academy kid, that pick will be 7. Josh a battle compo could make it 8

AFL loves to run the term “duty of care” and apply that players owe a duty of care, but have not accepted the other key element of negligence, which is a defence of ‘contributory negligence’. That is, that the injured party in some way contributed to their own injuries. The MRO is a corrupt kangaroo court, a joke of a judicial body.

Love the clubman spirit he offers, but he had three or four Nibbler moments last night that had me pulling my hair out. I’m sorry to those that love him, but we won’t miss him as much as people think

Said it before, will say it again - Laurie will not make it. Possesses not one attribute at the highest level to make it

WTF were people expecting?? It was the most average team we’d played all year. So many missing parts..why the doom and gloom. Had some moments..completely outclassed. No midfield..no backline and the forwardline probably was our best line…get realistic… we were not good enough because we had too many NQR parts

Is Ben Brown playing? I see everyone commenting that he is. I must have missed this!

Quite frankly, Carlton winning was the best result possible. Means, win, lose or draw, Dees fans can sit there with a smugness about them knowing Collingwood couldn’t even make the finals to defend their premiership.

We can get our high picks for Tracc.

Exceptional win under immense media pressure. So bloody proud. sign JV. Whatever it takes. Heart and soul players like that are hard to come by. I didn’t like his post match interview. Less than convincing. I’d take the effort and attitude of Viney over the talent and attitude of Tracc. Just saying

He looks good and can play forward.

What a drubbing. How can we get our hands on Ned Moyle? The Suns are stacked with talent. Amazing that they have depth and still will likely miss finals in the AFL

Treading water and kicking 6. Get him in. One last game for a loyal servant and a great bloke

Does BBB get a farewell match next week if he has kicked 5. laurie is as good as gone. His last turnover kick is so far below any standard it’s a joke. Get rid of him

Is there a link to the interview??

Grundy 2023 Mid season media: Melbourne must drop him, they can’t play 2 rucks, it isn’t working 2023 End of Season media: I cannot believe they didn’t play Grundy in the finals 2023 Trade Period media: what a disaster this is, I can’t believe Melbourne traded him 2024 Round 1 media: 🍆 💦 he is so much better than Gawn. A disaster for Melbourne 2024: mid season to now: **crickets**

Agree. Afternoon games at the G are way better. I’ve never like Saturday nights. Don’t mind the occasional Friday game, but Saturday arvo and Sunday early is the perfect time slots.

Nathan Jones is horrible when commentating Melbourne games. Totally biased against his old team. I really don’t get it. I’ve made comment on here before about it. Maybe has an axe to grind with Goodwin 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wouldn’t matter if we were winning. Even in our good seasons, the style of play and the ugly nature of our wins doesn’t appeal to anyone. Compare it to Hawthotn, who play completely free and attacking football, which has started to make them a side that is very watchable. No neutral would want to go to a Melbourne game. A boring system based game that is no longer relevant in 2024

Because our supporters don’t care for Saturday night games … it’s pretty obvious. We have an aging supporter base, yet to establish a new breed, and quite frankly Saturday nights are for TV. If you play a vidtorian team it’s a stock standard 40k

I was critical of the selection at the time. Thought there were others available that were ahead of him. He has something, just needs to polish it up..coz right now it ain’t it and looks like a potential average player not deserving of a high selection

Tholstrup dropped his head after he marked and totally missed the opportunity to either run into an open goal or handball back to Fritsch who was outside. He is a kid though, but big learnings when he watches his tape this week
