Might have been on the Gus and Gawny podcast this week, I cant remember exactly where I heard it but apparently players at training take shots at goal almost every session and before they can go home they need to get 6/7 in a row. They were saying it took Lever 15 goes before he got it so he def wasn't going to have a shot at goal last Saturday night

Wasn't a Melbourne player but Chris Judd was a Melbourne supporter as a kid and I think Scott Pendlebury might have been one too

Until they solve their culture and player development problem nothing will improve.

I imagine most players that have retired this year will get a lap around the ground during a home and away game next year when we can have crowds to celebrate their careers with the fans

It's been announced today that if it can't be held at the MCG it will be in Perth

Maynard to Melbourne rumours have been whispered around for most of this season, I think its a real hot chance

Wait a minute... Kids get a choice?

Here's Rick Lever explaining the nickname, Just click the link and it will take you to the story :)

The Father/son rule has become father/son/daughter rule and the kids of former players can get picked up by the club for either AFL or AFLW team.

98% of the improvement has been between the ears of the players and their change of attitude. The other 2% is Mark Williams

Why are you such an angry grumpy man? What happened in your life to be so cantankerous?

I'm waiting for the premiership merch.. only 5 weeks away.

I'd say Fritsh would be ahead of Kozzie and ANB for the pocket spot with how many goals he kicked this year. Toby Greene has the other pocket spot sewn up for sure

Negative 22 years

Week 1 Dees Port Dons Swans Week 2 Lions beat dons Cats beat Swans Week 3 Dees beat Cats Port beat Lions GF Dees beat Port

All aboard the Dee Train! it just means more money for the club which I am all for.

6. Gawn 5. Oliver 4. May 3. Lever 2. Salem 1. Pickett

Wow, I am so overwhelmed with happiness from that incredible win. Gawn after the siren is poetic, I really love football and the Dees.

Me too, it upset the chemistry in the side. Its like having Frost back

I think they struggled to beat the Top 4 teams because of those players (Rozee, Butters and Grey) being out Watch them win by 5-6 goals tonight, easy

Thanks for the article. I know there was always a knock on his one on one defending which I didn't think he was that bad at this year, this article points out he has only lost 29% of one on ones this year.

I find it interesting that Goodwin preaches continuity and uses the least amount of players all year. Yet now picks Smith over Hibberd after only one game where he came in for someone saw who is now back in the side. Joel was decent on the weekend, but Adelaide are not Geelong. Auditions in round 22 and 23 seem very un-goodwin like and thats what has me worried. I'd rather see Joel Smith in the side round 1 2022.

I thought this year had cured my MFCSS, I really did. I haven't had symptoms since we kept delivering wins. Now over the last two weeks my symptoms have come back and I've found the source its - In: Joel Smith

Thanks for your response. Completely understandable with younger players/lack of pre seasons and fatigue, I think there could possibly be some mental fatigue for younger players too. I agree and feel like we have run games out well. I don't take much from the WC game post Lightning stoppage, it was a big benefit to WC as they were cooked by that time.
