    I'm so happy for McNamara!

    Yeah, the ruck's always been a worry if L.Pearce goes down. Gillard?

    Or maybe we should just trade in another All-Australian ruck, seems like it's the done thing haha.

    Tayla Harris is very handy in the ruck, she proved that last season when Lozza missed a couple of games.

    I think you’ve got to balance what’s in that article with the fact that Tom Browne is one of the [redacted] [redacted] in an industry populated almost exclusively by [redacted] [redacted]. 

    I don't need much in the area of imagination to figure out what you're intending to say there!!! And I would agree with you!

    The report from Ch 7 that the Collingwood salary subsidy was only payable if he played for MFC is worrying if true.

    Substantially reduces the benefit and viability of a trade

    The discourse from On the Couch the other night was outright despicable.  After that cesspool of BS, I take what was said by Channel 7 with a grain of salt.  

    Mind you, your line of "Substantially reduces the benefit and viability of a trade" - why do you want to trade him?  All that shows me is that you're buying the media BS.

    They said this week, the comment in the post from Katrina was that ‘it was always expected BG would need VFL time’ and it just isn’t the case.

    The fact remains that BG had famous issues with being effective forward and here we are asking for something we might not get.

    Pretty sure Richo said it end of last year when Grundy was traded

  5. Okay, I'm going to go full rant mode here. I'm sick to death of the media discourse around Brodie Grundy at the moment, and the so called sports journos' tendency to stick the knife in, having him being traded, it hasn't worked, etc etc.
     
    It was always Melbourne's plan to have Brodie as a ruck/forward combination, and it was always the club's intention to have him play some VFL games to strengthen his forward craft. The only thing that delayed that from happening sooner was Gawn getting injured and waiting for him to get back to full strength. This has now happened, hence Grundy was named for the 2s. To say the Gawn/Grundy combination isn't working and it's all Grundy's fault is, pardon my French, complete [censored]. As a ruck combination, they outrucked Cox/Cameron combination, they outrucked the Jackson/Darcy combination in Fremantle. In fact they have consistently outrucked the opposition throughout the season. If there was ANY reason for lack of efficiency, it could be put more down to the fact Gawn's knee injury at the start of the season prevented him from being his best. Not Grundy.
     
    In fact for the weeks Gawn was out injured, Grundy was invaluable, he proved his worth in my books. Grundy isn't going anywhere.
     
    Media hacks, lay off. We know how much these so called "professionals" hate Melbourne.  They've moved on from Oliver onto a new target.  And it's not fair on Grundy.
     
    Rant over.

    Choco Williams needs to get stuck into the kicking training again. Our accuracy has been horrible the last 5 matches and is basically the difference now.

    They need to build giant shower heads over Casey Fields so they know how to play in torrential rain.  The last two games where they've played in such conditions, ie last night and against Port Adelaide, have been horrendous.

  7. Interesting character.  According to his Wikipedia page:

    - He was stood down as a police officer after failing an integrity investigation

    - He had a sketchy career in politics, including squibbing out of a debate on industrial affairs and got Hockey to debate on his behalf

    - He was forced to withdraw from contesting in the 2010 federal election after he was charged with impersonating a police office

    - The incident of impersonating a police officer came from when he threatened a witness in an assault case against his son - the phone call was made from Parliament House when he was a sitting MP

    Watch us get a trip to WA the week before and end up playing Port during gather round 🙄

    That happened this year.... then the That's Good for Footy people whined about low ticket sales between the two matches for the Melbourne show.

    It's the week after easter maybe hoping people extend the Easter break and stay in SA. I still don't see last year as a success unless it was all about money. Of course it was all about money. 

    It was a week after Easter this year, also during the school holidays.  As a teacher it worked out well for me.

    I remember in the good-old, bad-old days we had Melbourne - Masters of the MCG and Melbourne Greatest Ever Exponents of Perfection Football displayed across the northern and southern stands in perpetuity. There was a third one l have forgotten.

    A friend of mine who is now on the committee of Coterie was in the cheer squad in the 60s and 70s, he said he has one of those large banners at his house, and he said it went half way around the old southern stand.  I'd love to see it!
