In 50 years Clayton has been the best Viney has been the toughest Robbie the most courageous and skilfull Petracca the most powerful But no one has come near Max for having the biggest impact on the club. To play and lead as he has done is the single greatest football story in the clubs history. A full culture change in an 18 team comp culminating in a 57 year drought breaking flag and then to maintain the standard is by far the biggest mountain we have climbed. Thanks Max!

@ monoccular You may have premature facepalmitis syndrome? PFS (in jest)

We are right up to our eyeballs in it again this year. The cards are falling nicely with others being found out and a youth led revival propelling the final rounds of which we haven't really seen since 87. Our champions are all in form and hopefully our finest midfielder of all will be fit and firing to go from next week. Add a touch of Fritsch class and knowhow and we could well be on the way. Embrace the ride, have fun, it's is going to be epic. ** What I post here has absolutely nothing to do with how the team will perform. There are no omens. Supporters simply cant get ahead of themselves and therefore impact the team in some way. It makes no sense to be pessimistic and stressed. Time for that later.

Magician skills?

Odd thing to write. Should we message you for the green light prior to posting "anything" or are some things ok?

Thanks.

I cant say I agree with you on in regards to that tird.

Is there compensation for this type of free agent?

It only happened once, September 87. Still hurts!

A solid player but I am not an enamoured as others with his ability. Not in the same category for mine as others of the same age and experience bracket. Bower, Sparrow, Rivers, McVee and probably Woey are ahead of him. I can see Blake Howes in soon too playing a similar role. I won't relish seeing him play in another jumper but I wont be getting my nuts caught in my zipper over it.

Makes no sense to me on any level other than financial.

He is not a child. He is a pro sportsman who will take it like a pro.

" We don't need another midfielder (Serong), We need a key forward." This wins the Prince Harry award for the thickest comment accompanied by such an authoritative know it all tone Serong is an absolute star of the competition. It's akin to saying no to the fresh water cray thanks me wants fish fingers

Unfortunately, similar to TMac, Melksham has a recurring 3-4 week stint in the team where he peaks week 1, some nice things in week 2 then liability in weeks 3 - 4 then in the Magoos and so on and so forth. I love his good stuff. Not sure why he has petered off so quickly in he past. Hopefully the penny has dropped after 14 seasons.

I knew he was weird.

The line has to be drawn where sport heroes promote gambling with some catchy ads and kids are exposed to it. Thats not cool. We cant have that.

The overall 1965 to 2020 goals from frees ladder, per club comparison, would not make for flash reading either I reckon.

Would it be the first time for Melbourne that all 3 ins are players with beautiful red hair?

nice

Fair enough

If you think about it Geelong wanting to play at Geelong and not consolidate in the city makes sense. It also reasonable for the AFL to be ok with that. I hate Geelong just as much as the rest of us but they struck a lucky card with the Geography and the cess pit political pull they have.

Regarding David King, I am disturbed by his limited vocabulary. It is disheartening to see him repeatedly employ phrases like "bashed em up" without any regard for the gravity of such acts. This constant repetition not only demonstrates laziness on his part but also shows a lack of empathy for families who have tragically lost loved ones due to senseless violence. This neanderthal-like behaviour with him seemingly reviling in the act of describing someone being brutally assaulted is a sad indictment on him.

Yes I realise that.
