Carlton-Richmond gets 80k even when they are crap. I know it’s a weds and Covid is still on the mind but some of you are severely underestimating.

AFL Commentary teams - How good is Daisy Pearce
I thought her comments in the GF were fine - the non-kick to Kozzie is in the eye of the beholder and I think she was right to point out when Track was blatantly trying to keep the ball in - it was an indication that we are back in this and happy for the chaos to continue as it was in our favour. It was that mindset that led Track, Viney and Oliver to put the foot to the throat in the last minute that turned a 12 point lead into GF over. The amount of critique she gets is far in advance of any bloke so even those that are in her corner are using the fine tooth comb. Watch in a normal game that doesn’t include the Dees - she brings simplicity to concepts and in understandable language. And she can read the game. There was a random Tigers game early in the year where everyone were thinking they were about to reignite and she didn’t see it and it didn’t happen. Made buffoons of BT and co. Not that that is tough.

GAMEDAY: AFLW Rd 07 vs Brisbane Lions
Daisy probably thought her days of doing that much work as the smartest player in the team (which is who you put as loose woman in defence) - but that was a reminder of how good a player she is and was. At 33 to do that - amazing. Tayla Harris is a gem and I loved how in the post match she corrected the interviewer when she said “the girls were calling you Superman;” Tayla replied; “they were calling me Superwoman.” And @Kick_It_To_Pickett - can you cool your jets when you call out the league as a a whole based on the officiating? It’s not helpful and is disrespectful to what they have built - which is amazing in 6 years. It isn’t diminished by the officiating. Imagine what a mess the VFL was in 1903…

Membership Tally 2022
So are you saying you won’t buy a membership if you aren’t assured an undercover seat? And you were a member in 2013? So possibly getting wet < 2012 Neeld era Dees? Maths is wild.

Membership Tally 2022
‘Well in excess of 100k’… You are just setting yourself up for disappointment. We need to be in the top 4-6 teams for 6+ years with at least 2 flags and then we can talk about having market share like that.

Angus Brayshaw Re-Signs Until 2028
And McDonald was training there too before injuries forced him forward. Bradshaw on the wing was, of course, down the list of desirable players for that role. He may want to back himself to take Harmes’ spot? Angus played an important role but please don’t let stats tell you a tall tale; Langdon was so dominant that teams avoided his wing at all costs. It was really quite something. Langdon is the superior winger and that’s not to be sneezed at; and if you are sneezing, you should probably head home.

Angus Brayshaw Re-Signs Until 2028
With him signing his last contract after finishing 4th in the Brownlow playing a position he no longer plays in - it creates a problem where we won’t pay him to play in a position that can be filled by a disciplined, fit, defence first player on the other wing to Langdon. We will have to tread carefully with him and be open about how much we can pay him. He is probably backing himself to outstrip our estimations and expectations of his output on the wing and convince us that he is worth more than just the defensive wing extension to our excellent backline. Go Angus!

Farewell Jesse Hogan
Wouldn’t have May OR we would have traded an excellent kid to get May, maybe Oliver??? Now that is a sliding door!

Scott: 2021 Cats/Dees Prelim Should've Been Postponed
What a laughable character this guy is. And he should have been more maligned with that stare down of the Lions players he was doing last year. Never has a game been postponed outside of pandemic, the lights going out, the ground being unplayable, or for war. So did your team have Covid, Chris? If so, that’s a pretty big controversy and to keep that hidden is surely a fireable offence, yeah? But let’s give you another chance; Cars fans would love for the AFL to step in and relieve them of you - but let’s not ruin this… happy… marriage.

POSTGAME: PF vs Geelong
What the hell are you talking about? Healy was on us from early in the season. Didn’t drop off when we had our dip mid year. Not everyone has a nefarious agenda against you.

Extended contract for Simon Goodwin?
I didn’t know a fait accompli resigning of our flag winning coach beloved by the entire group could bring such trolling beahviour. He is getting an extension to 2025 or 2026 (hell maybe 2027) and that is that. What is the argument about? How quickly he won the flag? Quite quickly actually; quicker than Hardwick and Thompson, a year off Clarkson.

Game plans, tactics and all that jazz
Petracca and Oliver clearances are a quality that make it hard to measure clearance numbers. The come back in 3rd and the start of the 4th had power running clearances out of the centre that lead directly to Fritschs speccie recover goal, the next Brown goal, the Sparrow goal, Oliver’s goal and the first of the last to Brown. Not to mention the stoppage clearance from Harmes that started the music… I think that metres gained from stoppage or scores from stoppage are a more accurate way to measure the impact we are having.

Extended contract for Simon Goodwin?
- When will Melbourne break these embarrassing records?
- Jack Viney Critical Element
Viney is a very good player and leader at the MFC and will be forever in history as an important premiership player. Consistently the best finals player across 2018 and 2021 campaigns.- Farewell Luke Jackson
- Most Clangers ever in a Season
Sorry to add to the groupthink, but they get the ball in contested situations AND try to do something with it. That is a recipe for high Clanger numbers and flags.- Farewell Luke Jackson
