And when she comes back after telling that bloke from Perth to [censored] off - she is back to being a 9 again…

You don’t give up on your structure that just won you a flag after a sub standard month of footy. Ben Brown is an established AFL player and he has earned the right to work through form issues. Especially when the forward pressure that made us the team we were last year with forward half turnovers fuelling Fritsch and Brown through the finals. Unfortunately there is no scape goat for our troubles. The team will decide whether we bounce back and everyone playing their role.

Classic Deeluded. Chauvinism or Boorishness? You decide!

I am going to believe my lying eyes. He was so good the 5x All Australian , Premiership Captain was the 2nd best ruck in the game. It was like playing with four power mids in there in the last 10 mins of the 3rd.

Hmmm. Perhaps, but getting stuck into Smith and then saying to Melksham the effect of ‘what would you know, you play 2s’ is not much better than that whole ‘you play, we lose’ palaver. Either way, he I usually quite measured and of course, well connected.

It’s not a challenging ‘connect the dots’ - we won’t need a Jan 6 Commission for this one. Of course, that’s about a former President…

This guy is upset May is missing a week. Talk about missing the forest for the trees, and walking into one. He was obviously drinking all afternoon after going to the boxing while on concussion protocols. He shouldn’t play for a multitude of reasons. I truly believe our culture is more important than the appearance of one player in an important game. That isn’t to say I want to play without our best players but our culture and respect for role players and their importance was more a reason for our flag than Steven May.

Pathetic. Mediocre. Why.. why are you like this?

Tomlinson looked like he was low on confidence in his knee and his ability last week. ACLs can take 18 months to get back to your best if you ever do. Poor bloke. Massive sliding doors moment last year in Tassie.

Why would anyone want to watch the Tigers tho?

Max Gawn thinks that [censored] talk. He has been up on his high horse across a bunch of different forums about the team and how they talk to each other and belittling Smith as having done nothing with his footy is absolutely poor. And worth confronting. Just not violently.

I tell my team; if you have 8 reasons not to do something, you don’t have one good reason not to do something. At 63, you have a generational opportunity to see an amazing team and support them to greatness. It will only last as long as our stars stay uninjured, re-signed, and (ahem) out of trouble. Enjoy it and get along - you’ll have a good time.

Trust your eyes too.

At least Mitch Brown stayed in front of his bloke which is a standard Weideman hasn’t set for himself. Have some respect.

Drip. Drip. Drip. Well done Melbourne PR/Comms…

This is what happens when you drip feed info out with the facade of being holistic and thorough. You can’t fake it, the veneer wears off eventually. It was a scuffle. Whatever that is. It was banter. It was obviously more than that. It was May ‘having a drink’ under protocols. It was May at the boxing probably drinking all arvo… It was all sorted. The restaurant didn’t think so. What actually happened? I will tell you something different every effing day.

Well, I don’t know what you’re talking about? Everything is fine in the land of No Apologies! No one is upset or sorry for anything! What a magical place this is… there are fights everywhere, everyone is calling each other terrible epithets and calling into question their value both verbally and digitally. But no one should be upset according to my warped reality so no one IS upset… (birds fluttering, organ playing 🎵)

Yeah, it’s called progress. Who knew people wanted apologies for things that done them wrong. Of course you go and demean people and get in fights and break other peoples [censored] and send nasty texts that get into the public all the time and NEEEVVVVEEERRR have to apologise. Coz that’s what a good and proper society does, yessir!

We were Melbourne by the time we rocked up to play Sydney on the weekend, well some rocked up, so unfortunately your joke missed it by that much.

12k Lions fans will be there I reckon. Old Fitzroy fans excited about their team and their chances to win a flag. Oh to be following a team like that amirite?

Like it or not - this is a story. One of our stars evidently had too much to drink and revealed the disconnect in the group between those that won the flag and those ‘also rans’ that didn’t. Until we recover from this and host a Prelim at the G this year - no one can talk about our great culture. No more podcast diatribes, no more President lunches groaning on about how great we are. Just sort it out and prove you have sorted it out.

Imagine where we would be in that table if our supporter group came to games like we envisioned they would for such a team?

Especially when the grandparents were revealed to be texting things unsupportive of the parents and the kids…

Yeah, but we don’t want to get into a back and forth...

Getting rid of those that need help is not the sign of a good culture or society. This mindset just ignores problems to avoid the hard work of tackling them. Its also not going to happen.
