Bring-Back-Powell

We beat the Dogs by 7 goals the week after Darwin, and then proceeded to win 7 of our last 10 games (which coincided with our best month of footy since 2000) Would’ve we done any better had we not played in Darwin?

I was under the impression Smith's key attribute and point of difference was his elite kicking for goal? Only managed 4.5 in his 5 or so AFL career games.

I’ve heard we’ve asked for Hayden Ballantyne thrown into the package.

As brilliant as Jason Taylor has been for us, he was bound to swing and miss on a draft pick eventually.

Didn't we want to trade pick 2 for him back in 2013/2014? Him and David Myers off memory.

Said in jest mate. I know full well that's an MFC responsibility.

Would be disappointed if he was traded as he'll be best 22 next year with the attributes he brings to the table (aside from being injury prone). With that being said, club loyalty goes out the window when a close family member dies and the player wishes to move for personal reasons. I can't believe some posters are being bitter towards AVB.

The Pert administration already sweeping the broom through the joint?

Sydney should pick up the tab on that one.

His Sunshine Coast training camp stories were an enjoyable read. I wonder who his replacement will be?

Weed was horrid in the prelim.

Tyson and Salem were our 2 worst players in the prelim.

Finals won in 2018: Collingwood 2 Melbourne 2

The JFK 1 year contract extension more than softens the blow for the impeding Hogan departure.

Trust me I’m both. I’m a diehard (shattered) Melbourne fan that just loves watching anyone play, particularly a grand final. I was bitterly guttered when I missed out on a grand final ticket via AFL members. last Sunday. First grand final I’ve missed since 2003.

I think we're a sniff on Saturday.

Wow, I can’t believe you’re that dismissive of getting a grand final ticket. I am desperate to attend the game (missed out via AFL members), even as a die hard MFC member.

Anyone have a spare ticket to the granny? I missed out in the AFL members allocation because all the Collingwood members took them. I’m really upset to miss the game. In fact I took the missing out on a ticket way harder than losing to WC. Even as a diehard Melbourne supporter, I’m desperate to attend the game and haven’t missed a grand final since 2003. Willing to pay a moderate amount of money for the ticket. (yeah I knows there’s a 0.00001% chance anything will come from this)

I would’ve coped a lot better about yesterday had Collingwood got flogged by Richmond, which was supposed to happen. Now Collingwood are going to win a flag which is bitterly depressing.

Hoping to get a GF ticket via afl membership tomorrow. Should be a cracking game.

He’s gone off to the toilet at the last minute at the G too. Doubt it’s food positioning

He's unrecognisable with the grey hair and beard.

Fritsch has hardly set the world on fire this finals....at all. Has probably handled the finals heat the least out of all players. Wouldn't shock me in at all if he's omitted.

More like 4/96

I’m guessing the people that are going over are made up of one or more of the following groups: 1) Live with Mum and Dad 2) Mortgage free 3) Kids free 4) Earn 150K + a year 5) Going to have a horrid October credit card bill. Or 6) Have a spare $1100 in their car ashtray.
