Correct me if I'm wrong but your comment comes across as supporting media leaks.

I'm so sorry. I hope your boy is okay, as is the rest of his team.

So you advocate for deliberate destabilising of the club. Good to know.

Right, so now you're calling Brad Green a liar? Because that's not what he indicated in his letter.

Oh, you're right, a couple of commerce units on Open University.

Cannot imagine it. Poor family.

It hit home for me because my nephew is the same age as Jack. I can't imagine how the family must be feeling, as I can't fathom something horrible like that happening to James. Just horrible. I feel like crying.

I note the club has responded to his dad's Instagram post saying they'll get in touch with an offer to help in any way they can. Lovely gesture.

A degree in social work is not going to run a multi million dollar football club.

Let's see. He oversaw the developments at Casey Fields. He has got us closer than any other CEO to a home base with the Caulfield proposal. He has got the club in the best financial shape it's every been in. He has seen us get to the highest membership in the club's history.

David Chippendall is a finance person. Does that mean he knows how to manage an organisation?

It's been mentioned she had some sort of medical episode. All in all, such a tragic thing to have happen. That poor family.

Just been announced Pert is stepping down. Hope those of you calling for his head are happy. It's one thing being president, quite another to be CEO, given Pert has been the one that has put the club in its best financial position in the club's history, I hope you all have a competent person in mind to take over.

We have a couple of him in the Army! My nephews don’t like sitting near one of them, his voice scares the living daylights out of them!

This game I look on with great fondness, for no other reason as it was the first game of football my dad ever went to. He was a 10 year old kid at the time, living in Brighton, trying to decide which footy team to barrack for. Those were still the days of your footy club reflecting the area in Melbourne in which you lived, and in his area the choice was St Kilda or Melbourne. Nana grew up around the corner from the Brunswick St Oval, so naturally she barracked for Fitzroy, but Dad didn't want to barrack for them in Brighton. A friend from his from his school invited him to the grand final replay, and Dad became a Melbourne supporter from that day on. If it wasn't for that friend, I wouldn't have followed my dad to be a Melbourne supporter today.

Apologies, I got him mixed up with Johanniesen

You don't rate Jack Macrae, who was a Norm Smith medalist? Or Caleb Daniel? It's interesting to hear Daniel talk about the soured relationship with Bulldogs post his trade to North. Not to mention the commentary about some players' remarks in speeches at their best and fairest. It's not a happy camp there.

Really? What do you base that on? And don't say from the media. As Clarry at the Best and Fairest himself said, "don't trust the media".

The docos the club produced of Kozzie going home, last year to South Australia with Trac, this year to Western Australia with Clarry and McAdam, showed it, I think. He has so much love and respect for his players, which was so evident to see, and it's reciprocated. They're special moments, and they're relationship building. You can't fake that, and they take effort and patience to build that kind of relationship. You either have it or you don't - he does. In abundance.

I think a bit factor that is being left out is Goody's rapport with the players, which I think is there. If you compare that with say the like of Luke Beveridge, there are whimpers that that's a big factor as to why players are leaving the Bulldogs, is that the abrasiveness of Beveridge is wearing a bit thin. I don't see that the rapport with the players is a problem at Melbourne, They seem to respect and value him. That's a massive plus. We're not having a massive exodus of players, in fact we're having players extend their contracts mid way, including the likes of the kids in Windsor and Tholstrup, which I think is telling.

I challenge anyone to play with a broken hand for the majority of a season and maintain top form.

The Ghost has responded with “let’s do it!”

Unfortunately not, I work full time and I just can’t get to training, sadly. I should be able to do January training, though, since I’ll be in school hols.

Thank you, Timothy. I actuallly got a signed guernsey in the mail yesterday, as well as the most beautifully written card. I love this team, and these girls.

She was teary after the first concussion in the Adelaide game. Poor thing, she's my sponsored player, I chose her coz she gives the best hugs. I wish I was there to give her a big hug....
