Don’t wait for the players to get back to position in 6-6-6. If players aren’t where they need to be after a goal, no warnings, PAY A FREE KICK. Ball ups - just throw the ball in at boundary throw ins and throw it up at stoppages. Essentially as soon as they get it. No ruck nominations at all, just have a rule that only one player from each team can go into the contest. If it’s Gawn vs Caleb Daniel then so be it. If you want a ruck at every contest, then the two best rucks on both teams will have to cover more ground. Stop putting the onus on the umpires to learn more and more rules/interpretations. Put it back on the coaches/teams to figure out how to adapt.

I think Gus would actually be perfect (and Max once he retires) to lean into making shorts that are a bit of a [censored] take or memeing on other teams and at times ourselves. Gus is widely liked and seems to have a cheeky sense of humour so that could work. Outrage gets clicks, that’s just how the algorithm works (and why the world is hell, haha). So if you can walk the line between taking the [censored] but not being overly vitriolic about it, you can draw in a lot of non-Dees supporters. Gorringe has actually hit that sweet spot because he pots everyone (including Carlton and the AFL) but also praises other teams too at times. A lot of people say he’s a [censored], but that misses the point. He’s a [censored] that gets a lot of engagement which is all that really matters in internet world. This exercise isn’t about promoting Dees upfront, it’s about getting people to click on a person associated with the Dees that flies the flag, making AFL content, mostly to non-Dees fans. Get people to like a Melbourne supporting person. I’m a musician and coming back from a few years hiatus, that landscape has changed. It’s entirely social media now. You don’t exist unless you have a strong social media presence. So in saying that, we basically don’t exist compared to a lot of other clubs. Only my opinion though, I’m deffo not an expert.

Excellent mental health/sanity decision right here, haha

I’m seeing a lot more in recent weeks I feel which is good. There’s an opening in the market also for a Dees fan with social media savvy (and a good sense of humour) to do a Dan Gorringe type page too. Other clubs also have these kinds of pages that do really well. If you want to catch the eye of those youngins’ this is a way to do it. Any budding social media influencers out there Dees fans? Infiltrate their precious little minds with pro-demons propaganda in the algo, haha. Make a little bit of money from it too if it blows up.

Personally I’m not really expecting anything next year and it’s kinda nice. Want to give King a year or two to get his list/game plan together and not lose my mind if we finish 14th again next year.

To be fair… the bombers finished 1 game below us despite having about 17 injured players at one point. We had bugger all injuries this year.

I only saw the Adelaide game but I thought he was one of their best? To be fair I did keep noticing him as 6’4’ winger that looked way quicker than he should so maybe he didn’t play that well, haha

If his manager is the same as Merretts this would be chefs kiss. It’s also quite a good play to do it now so it’s looming over next season for the hawks too. Also has this ever happened before? A club offering a deal publicly a year ahead?

Quotes or get out

Are we to expect the facilities will be haunted by horses? Haunted by jockeys?!?!

He always sounds like he’s just had 4 pints on an empty stomach.

He said they could’ve continued with Oliver and Tracc no problems which means it was SPARGO AND MCVEE ALL ALONG CAUSING THE ISSUES 😱😱😱😱😱😱

Interesting read of a Guerra interview in the HS today. A bit of it was: (Referring to Maxy) “He believes we’ve done the right thing,” Guerra told the HS of Gawn the day after the club pulled the trigger on the pair of trades (CO/CP). “He actually believes our next premiership is now closer. He thinks he’ll actually play in the next premiership as well. We could have stuck with Clayton and Christian, no problems. But we finished 14th in 2024, 14th in 2025. And if nothing changes, then nothing changes. And we’ve made the decision that we don’t want to finish 14th again. “We want to improve ourselves and we want to go for the next premiership and put ourselves into a position where if we win one, we’re going again. “We have to do that by starting to compete. We’ve cleared any dressing room issues out. We’ve now got a group of people in with a fresh coach who has a really clear ambition how he wants to play the game.” And on Caulfield: Melbournes move to finally confirm a headquarters at the Caulfield racecourse continues apace with more positive meetings in the past fortnight. “All I would say is by the time the AGM comes around we will be in a position to give a really positive alignment.”

My anti-M bigotry has been exposed. Almost threw up when I saw the Mitch Marsh thread.

Do you know why he was delisted? I had seen a couple games he played and he looked alright. Looks quick but maybe his decision making wasn’t the best?

Good comment. The way I see it, it could have been Tracc and Oliver out for 7&8 and a 3rd round pick. Instead we got 7&8, a future first and Steele. If you had asked me at the start of the trade period if I’d take that, I absolutely would have.

Since 2020, he’s missed probably 60 games of footy. His body is stuffed.

I don’t get this grading system. North got Spargo in and lost Finbar Malley and that’s all they did. Their first draft pick is 25. How is what they did equal to what we did?

He’s 26. The upside down 9.

Any particular reason? (I ask as I don’t know anything about him)

I fear it is within both the club and Clarries interests that a few years pass before the full story and facts (if they ever do), come out. I would actually be pretty angry if the problems of the past few years (I.e. the previous administration) was carried over into this one and we are, yet again, in the media, front and centre, getting pilloried and made to continually look (or be exposed take your pick) like a disaster. I could personally go one year without any bull [censored] from the club.
