Treloar is an excellent mid. Grundy has been usurped as no 1 ruck and is arguably behind Cox as 2nd ruck. Don’t care what the AFL say; don’t get him then. Let Coll pay him $1m to play VFL. The AFL would probably want to avoid that tbh…

The cap is rumoured to go up $600k next year.

Yet they want to move him on and will pay a third of his wage to do so… This is a dump, Melbourne (or Geelong) should not be providing anything of value to allow Collingwood to get off $700k of what they see as ‘dead money.’

Play his role with the other 21 so we don’t have to win it at the death?

What’s laughable is dropping him after he actually showed elite defensive intent. He is going to have games where he gets smothered. Having Melksham takes pressure of Fritsch. He chased and tackled and if we can slow down and hit him up, Bayley will kick his 3 or 4.

Can I have more ladders from magical fairy lands please? Ooh, one with us on top based on first quarters? Or perhaps one with which team has the most smiles during the game?! Oh I hope we are in contention in that one…

Yeah, but he was high when he said it.

Membrey maybe fills a need. They will keep Gresham. They have a lot of meh players

Me too. He’s always telling me the reason for something or that something is about to happen. Very helpful.

Maybe do these ratings with the last 8 weeks or something. Don’t know how valuable the first half of the season is…

One would assume that. Unless told otherwise, perhaps [censored] spiders may be the best way to recover from not winning the flag…

I think the thing that has contributed to both of the above is the de-emphasis on forward pressure for much of the season. That has then allowed teams to kick through our Web, putting pressure on our banged up backline.

And for the spiders…

He came into play park where he marked it, meaning he played on outside the line. Umps got it right. Frustrating and not called sometimes but right.

You don’t seem to understand - the Carlton players on Hunt and May and another player were down the line (as instructed I am sure in that ‘save game scenario’) so that kind of opportunity in the corridor wouldn’t be there normally. Our ball movement is a real shame and Hunt is a breath of fresh air. I hope he can spark some overlap run and corridor switches but the FD is obviously concerned with how our defence holds up against turnover so we will play it safe predominately.

Agree to disagree. I am not going to in-depth analysis of that list as that is what unleashes unholy spirits. I just like Laverde and Redman in the backline with their midfield being as talented as StK’s. And I am of the opinion that unless you are Melbourne 2013 or NM currently; you are a good coach away (or a committed team) from 8th.

Real safe.

Dodoro has been there since Sheedy. It’s his list that has been built. It has massive holes, but they should be on the fringes of the 6 with that midfield and backline.

Or avoid.

We call it out to pressure the next person not to write something horrible. That awful person then doesn’t spread their disgusting words on and over time attitudes get better. Not calling it out just leaves the cesspool untended and it will get worse and worse.

Why is this a thread? Meet with the run home thread or kill it.

FFS. That is a coached action. It’s called ‘game win’ situations or ‘red time goal’ scenario. Lever knew what to do because they run through those scenarios and he doesn’t even need to look - he just knows there is an outnumber. Lever is smart but that was a coached action.

No, it was a function of good coaching from Goody during the week.

Lever meant it and if Trac doesn’t realise that’s where our outnumber is in a ‘win game’ scenario then we have a problem. He is the biggest ‘blazer’ in the team and if he isn’t careful - his career will turn the way of Dangerfield.

Maybe GWS win in Canberra, and maybe Coll lose to Carl… We’d be 4th…
