Stiff Arm

I'd hate to be a Melbourne tall forward atm. Repeated long bombs mostly to an opponent, crowded forward 50, smalls who go missing for large periods, second grade mids who get in the way. Been like that for most of the last 5 years

Currently picks 15 (2022), 12 and 30 for Jackson after he beat Gawn and Grundy today. Peter Bell would be very pleased with himself

We have too many players whose career has passed. Where's the succession plan for May, Tmac, BBB and Gawn? Grundy is excellent but our ruck stocks cannot count passed 3 JVR is struggling, our small forwards cannot capitalise, Lever is a shadow of his best. I can't see a young key back, forward or a promising young ruck developing at Casey with high hopes We are a hot mess going south quickly Might have a fire sale at seasons end if we have 2 firsts, a second and young Brown coming in. Himmelberg as FA would be a great addition too

Goody is stubborn to the core

No Oliver, no melbourne

At this rate our 1st rounder will be higher than Freo's

Best list in 60 years, underperformed massively

Do not play James Harmes again. Casey beckons. Momentum killer

Wise choice Maple. Going to down a Yukon Jack or two?

3 first rounders for pick 1??? JT would want to be extreeeeeemely confident Reid is a unicorn Mind you, our three first round picks will not be high end. About 10, 16 in 2023 and next year around 16. Can't see it happening

With a training ground named like that, Freo supporters should be quiet and remain a small target

Is HH a FA this year? Would def have a crack if so

As a volunteer goal umpire at U14 level, I've twice in the last 3 weeks I've had to tell parents on the boundary to STFU due to them gobbing off at the umpires, their kid and even the coaches (who are parents!). It's a blight on the game at junior level. If jules7's post is accurate, Nathan should shut up and let the kid play in peace

Could be. Brown might be matched in the 20s, so might be wise to bundle our 1st and Freo 2nd to move up. Reckon we'll use Freo's 1st (10ish) and a trade up to low teens. 10 + 13 + Kynan Brown Will be interesting to see if we do something with our future 1st

No, no reason to boo But I will do this if we play poorly

Or at least had English subtitles when he speaks

An opening for Ooze?

Clarry out with hammy, Tracc playing with proppy ankle. This will be a massive test of Goodwin's coaching

Means Coll are now 2 games ahead of us. Hate them with a passion

Or to the pokies to prop up their club coffers

The best list we've had in nearly 60 years not being optimized due to a stubborn fd. Easier to stick with the brand and underperform than blow up our anxiety, make some bold decisions and take risks. During the Brisbane game, the lights coming back on flicked a switch for us too. We played daring, fast footy, took some skillful risks and came out a whisker from winning the game. All this after 3.5 quarters of stubborn 'brand' that saw us 5 goals down (and should've been 8-10). Goody would've been cacking his dacks for that last 10 mins The 2023 Melbourne brand is sooooo 2021

Good word to describe where we are currently at. Do they want it enough.
