Dee Viney Intervention

Not quite sure about the first paragraph. No other state is quite in our position and if the commonwealth was underwriting Victoria Glasgow wouldn’t be hosted the Commonwealth Games. Agree that $20 million should be a drop in the ocean for the state government and it absolutely should be framed as a community use project. It is obvious where the hold up is coming from. I think we will eventually get there but more patience is required.

I agree there was lot of chest beating going on. Brad Green was grinning like a school kid, he must have put a whoopie cushion on Guerra’s chair. Seems that it is Caulfield or bust and state government funding is the hold up. We will have to keep being patient with the upcoming state budget and then the government will go into caretaker mode. Interesting there was no mention of the Federal Government…….only state.

Doesn’t surprise me at all. Built on landfill and horribly exposed to the elements being on a hill and so open. Wait till they play AFLW games there, there could actually be nil all draws. Traffic getting in and out also an issue with little to no public transport.

Might come in handy the way things are going, diesel if possible.

Every time I hear him speak I couldn’t be more impressed and I am glad he is our coach. Haven’t been this excited for a season for ages. Good Save Our King!!!!

Not sure how I feel about Trac. Was sensational for them last night and disposal efficiency that I haven’t seen during his time at Melbourne. Didn’t like the way he left Melbourne, clearly wasn’t happy here but to be honest I wasn’t happy with the club myself. He just seems to make things about himself that rubbed me up the wrong way. Long term I think we will be fine and I am excited about our short and long term future. Will I boo him in round 4, honestly don’t know yet I am an impulsive guy and it depends how many “cheeky beers” I have had pre game.

I will not make a deposit in the swear jar when we play Collingwood this year

Couldn’t agree more. Happy to be know as the Gosch’s squatters until something permanent becomes official.

Congratulations to Paddy and good luck to him. Clearly not a like for like for Steven May more a replacement for a McAdam / Melksham. Just goes to show the more attacking mindset and philosophy of the new coach which is refreshing for both players and supporters.

I loved his passion for the club. I genuinely think it would have been a very difficult decision to make but I appreciate and respect him for putting the club first. A premiership hero of the club and I wish him nothing but the best in the future.

As mentioned there is a test that can be done by physio / doctor which gives a good indication of injury. He would have had an x ray to rule out any fractures and in a few days when swelling goes down he will have a scan to confirm nature of injury. There didn’t look like that twisting motion that generally results in acl tears but more of an awkward hyper extension. Hoping for the best for him as he has had a run of bad luck and was looking a likely prospect for an AFL debut.

Today is what it is and can’t be controlled but surely the AFL could do the fixture so that teams that didn’t play in round zero play each other in round 1 and those that did play in round zero also play each other so that there is no advantage. We will be an entertaining watch this season and I am looking forward to it.

Would love Butters but think Humphrey is more likely to come to us. Would be happy with Humphrey but Butters is a star of the competition and we need a villain in the team. I want a player that we love but opposition players hate and gets under your skin. We are a very nice inoffensive club. Aside from maybe Steven May we don’t have a real villain.

Thank goodness for the Betsy article. Most information we have had about Caulfield in eons. Some sort of statement from the club is not an unreasonable expectation.

No Kozzie then no clue.

Couldn’t agree more. Pig headedness over a [censored] tunnel. We have been crying out for this for decades. Could be worse though, I could get an email from the club asking me to amend my will.

Sure it would be nice however I genuinely don’t see the necessity for a tunnel for direct access to the inside of the track. If the MCG can host thousands of concert goers on the oval at a Taylor Swift concert then surely we can roll some protective mats across 20 metres of track from outside to inside and safely get across without damaging the track. Just [censored] get on with it and think outside the square.

Might want to call last drinks at the Camfield, a lot of empty seats.

I know, might even have meatloaf covered. That was awful.

It’s game day and I may be in the minority but I am looking forward to watching the game and am excited to see state of origin back. I love the Melbourne jumper and think it is the best in the AFL but there is something about the big V jumper and it’s great to see it back.

Radio interview with Kingy on club app now under the video section.

It’s a great story. A kid getting a second opportunity playing for the team that he grew up supporting. Already suffered an ACL injury in his young career. Got himself a running coach in the off season. Resilient and hungry and doing whatever he can to get the best out of himself. Love it. Go get em Jai!!!

Agree, are we getting too top heavy off field. What’s he going to do that should be covered by Guerra, Richardson and Lamb?????

All good questions DeeZone. Be interesting to know the job description and is it a match day “strategy” role or more an off field direction of the club “ strategy” role. I was hoping for a Craig Jennings type role.
