If you run past the ball and elect to bump someone so your team mate can get the football why is that sent to the MRO and not regarded as a shepherd? It’s within 5m of the ball and a footballing act.

Kozzie will get 5 weeks if he shepherds because he wasn’t going for the ball

It doesn’t really matter what the pressure stats were. You just had to watch how ferocious they were with your own eyes. That was how you should play football in a cut throat final when the game is on the line

Last 16 minutes showed how a well drilled demon side should play

All clubs are front and back ending players contracts to fit within the salary cap. Are the doing it with the coaches salary cap?

I disagree. Have you seen the champion data clip where Geelong were plus 400 points in time on over the season? We were smashing teams in the last 1/4 in 2021. Fitness is an absolutely essential part of being the best.

1064 was a good year with the Beatles touring and Melbourne winning the premiership

When you marry them

Don’t look back in anger

He was fantastic last year and will play a different role with a different game plan as well doing a second season. There is no doubt he can improve significantl

What are the blokes like at soccer, or haven’t they bought the out yet?

Don’t forget Tom $scully’s old man

I agree he is a visionary. He’ll probably steel the Dees NGA picks next that we get robbed of.

Exactly right that Peter Vlandy’s tries to steal everything off Victoria. He has done it with placement of NRL fixturring against the AFL and he has done it with horse racing putting races on with huge prize money on our biggest race days. I can’t remember the last time I agreed with an AFL decision but I agree with this.

When Clarry and Luke Jackson both request to come back next year they can form part of the leadership group but the next captain would have to be Disco or Rivers.

This. King has said we want to kick 100+ points a game. We already recruited a really attacking defender in CJ and a reliable midfielder who was St Kida’s captain. You can’t kick 100+ points a game without players who can kick goals. I will be surprised if we don’t go early on Pickett like we did with his cousin. On a side note Essendon have the two picks before us, Sheedy started the indigenous round and Michael Long and Gavin Wanganeen were named in their best 25 players of all time but they have gone off the boil in that space that they were leading. Maybe it was that dud Dodro and they have changed philosophy You can’t pick someone on their surname but the Rioli’s and Pickett’s seem to be the exception. Marlion Pickett was stiff not to win the Norm Smith when he debuted in an AFL grand final. Dusty kicked a goal in the last 5 minutes when Marlion was stuck on the bench. Before that it could have gone either way.

That banana while running at the boundary line is almost identical to Trac’s in his Norm Smith performance

May as well

Even though Gus will be forever remembered for his grand final heroics I have a feeling he was more than just a champion footballer. He and his family were the glue keeping everyone united. We died the day Maynard ended his career.

What about 3 of the main 4 best players? We couldn’t trade one of them

There are enough threads on Oliver but you couldn’t be a Melbourne fan without wanting the best for him.

Gawn has done two interviews now where he says how much he loves Clarry when asked about both of them. He can hardly bag Trac but I think there is an underlying message there. I witnessed Trac chatting away at training when Gawn was trying to address the group. I couldn’t believe the disrespect. Both legends of the MFC but both needed to go for different reasons. I’m with Gawn on this I hope Clarry does well at GWS.

Steele wasn’t planning on leaving St Kilda either until he spoke with King. We might surprise next season

I don't post unsubstantiated rumours. Clarry, the wiz and Travis Johnstone are my favourite demons. I have bad luck on that. Clarry ripped the windscreen wipers off a car and Trac went in to apologise that was before that [censored] Moore kneed Trac. The falling out had already happened and Salem sided with Trac. I hope we keep clarry but we might need a cleanout. If this is taken as rumour I am happy to DM sources and facts

I still can't spell his name but I hope he can play. He looks good and is probably a weapon. We will look very different under King and if he rates a player they are likely to blossom. I'm guessing we have another draft pick nobody is talking about. Tom Sparrow. Can anyone seriously say what his role has been for the last few years? Watch Sparrow get an actual role and become a great footballer
