Dee Viney Intervention

We have also paid for Scotland to host the commonwealth games add that to the list.

Disappointed to lose Nibbler, he was a good servant of the club amd I wish him well in the future. However Tim Lamb’s job is to get the best deal for Melbourne. If that deal is with the Power then so be it. We are under no obligation to get him to the Crows.

Tarryn Thomas was effectively delisted or sacked by North and deservedly so. It can be done.

To be honest I would have delisted Smith.

Agree with all you’ve said. Want to highlight the Murphy Reid comment, that is exactly our problem. We need to diversify and get away from the “Melbourne Type of player”. The game has changed and evolved since 2021…………we haven’t as a club.

Nailed it Teddy!!!! Wants to go to the bottle throwers or play alongside Maynard and Moore FFS. Side by side hey. Still acting like a child if you ask me. A petulant one at that. Wish him well in his health and mental health but he’s not endearing himself to many. Buyer beware!!!

KFW will be playing for Chelsea in the MPFNL next year. Hopefully in division 1. Go Gulls and go Dees!!!!!

Is Petracca the right guy??????? He is damaging his own “brand”

Is Half Back Flanker rhyming slang for something???? Either way it’s a no from me.

Cooper coming back from a rolled ankle

Not so sure about that. We wouldn’t make a good cricket team. We rarely appeal.

Cooper is a really nice kid and has a good frame. We have spoken to him but the club showing the most interest so far is Geelong.

Or that they are good match ups for the foot speed and ball movement speed of Collingwood which once again exposed us.

Big shout out to Tommy Mac and also Kade Chandler for last night. A willingness to compete, work-rate, spread, chase, harass, energy. All non negotiables that I expect from my team. I don’t expect us to win every game but I do want to see effort. Cannot fault these two last night. Well done!!!

Couldn’t agree more. Our list management and match committee this year have been poor. Our list is way too too heavy with NQR talls. Why extend Schache, why then recruit Fullerton. KFW having to play at St Bedes in the Ammo’s because Casey is that tall, which leads to the next point. The cupboard is bare at Casey for pure midfielders. We lose Dunstan, JJ, Harmes and obviously and sadly Brayshaw. Instead of replacing Angus with a kid we go and replace with another tall. Nothing against Kentfield I wish him all the best but from a list management point of view a puzzling decision. Mids must be our focus this off season.

You’d like to think so but we lost to West Coast and were a Kynan Brown tackle away from losing to North. I still haven’t recovered from witnessing that first half of football in the Anzac Eve game against Richmond. That was the worst standard of skill from two professional sporting organisations that I have ever seen. Was a surreal feeling on the train home, it was like both teams lost. We have some good kids coming through. We need a mini reset and look towards the next window which is a few years away. We need to go to the draft and get some midfielders with skill, speed and a high football iq and go from there. The game plan also needs a massive overhaul. Everything about the Melbourne Football Club is conservative. It is a tag we need to shake.

All good they were just talking cash converters ads. Nothing to see here.

About to jump on the bus to head down to Rye (home of the Demons) to watch local footy finals, hoping it’s being shown in the social club. Just want the team release the shackles and play with freedom amd a sense of attacking flair. Go Dees and come on Gulls!!!!!

Is that baby wearing red and blue booties???

I wonder if he was wearing one of the blazers

Not too disappointed if true. I genuinely believe our premiership window is closed as others are and have gone past us. Having said that I don’t think we will fall off the cliff either. I think we have a mini reset take our hand to the draft and get some high quality mids to come through with the current crop of youngsters that we have. Obviously need to find a successor to Max. Too big a price to pay for Houston and will ultimately hurt us long term.

Pre season for me, too much noise and rumblings. Thought absence of Gus and Clarrie would have a devastating impact.

Well done to the club for getting on the front foot and dousing this spot fire.

My expectation would be that the football department focus on the elimination final and the board make a strong statement about the incident. I would also have liked a response for the “justice has been served comment from McCain. No it [censored] wasn’t. Further to that I would have expected a response from the club the following year that had a player medically retired by the AFL 2 days after the final list lodgement date. Leaving us a player short on the list until the mid season draft. Anything from the club on that. Same as the training base ……..crickets. And at the next game against Collingwood we have players hugging and joking with the [censored] post game. This whole incident from beginning to end was pathetic from all involved players, football department, board and most of all the AFL.

Could have, sorry should have been more vocal over the Maynard / Brayshaw incident. Was pathetic from the whole club. Only one person in the whole club flew the flag over this. Thank you Jack Viney.
