Would love to know which club would accept a bloke that wants to move to increase his brand rather than any mention of team success. Reckon old mate has done exactly what he intended, made the fan base really angry with him, made the players turn on him and that will ensure that he can get out. Absolute [censored] the whole Petracca camp right now.

Has nothing to do with Goodwin. Has everything to do with the club (Roffey, Pert, Richardson) & the mismanagement of multiple events. Has everything to do with fact that Petracca is a prima donna who thinks he is bigger than the club.

If Christian wishes to [censored] everyone off, players and supporters alike to ensure a move, wants to play for a big boys club that lacks overall integrity, then the CFMEU are on the lookout for a new mafia boss.

Considering we averaged 49 inside 50s per game (often low-quality entries), no forward line is going to have much success regardless of personnel.

If anyone wants to sit in a Melbourne only area, my 2 Level 2a redlegs seats will be empty. I'll be in the Members so wont be using them.

Nope, there are 6 tickets left for sale on level 1 and they have sold all of level 4 front in 13/15 bays. crowd will be somewhere between 55-60k

Q37-Q40 are the bays on level 4 in the MCC which are next to the Ponsford and get opened up to the General Public when they expect the MCC to have excess capacity and need extra GA areas for the public. There is now a barrier in the middle of Q40 which they use to keep the public out of the MCC. For Friday they are only selling tickets in the MCC side of Q40 which usually indicates that the MCC on level 4 will not extend to Q37-other half of Q40. Hope this makes sense. This happens at pretty much every Collingwood, Hawthorn and Richmond home game at the MCG.

Around 55-58K I reckon. Ticket sales are average in the AFL and public reserve but poor in the MCC. They are going to open Q37-Q40 for the general public which I haven't seen at a Melbourne game before.

Not sure if been discussed but wanted to say well done Ray Chamberlain. Umpiring his last game on Friday and reckon he's been great value as an umpire. Loves his job, willing to put his neck on the line and speak about decisions that he and his colleagues get wrong on SEN, lovely guy and the game will be a little less without him. Hopefully, nobody responds to this by bashing him, just genuinely like the guy. Well done Razor.

Despite everything going on, great to see so much red and blue on the 6:30am jetstar flight up. Go dees!

Can't believe you have heard a Melbourne supporter in the MCC yell. A library in there most weeks. I kinda loved that last Saturday's crowd was just the diehards and made a good noise for what was probably 16k of us. I also never said it's not laughable, it's a [censored] reason but I'm just passing on what others are saying. Doesn't stop some of the usual apologists on this forum from having a hissy fit despite them not attending games either.

I never said that, neither of them are going anywhere. My point is that don't bother reading into anything any coach says in a press conference.

Simon has always had the ability to say a lot of words that sound good whilst saying absolutely nothing. I would be reading nothing into anything Goodwin/Richardson/Pert says until Petracca/Oliver/Viney are lining up for us in Round 1 next year playing good football.

You have stated "Judging her on how she carries herself is irrelevant" I can't be bothered arguing with you if you can't comprehend how ridiculous a comment that is.

lol never heard a more incorrect opinion in my life. You are basically saying that it’s ok if the club financials are doing well but everyone in the club hates eachother and are sick of all the off field leaders

Based on the last 2 years her ability is clearly lacking.

Realistically, there will be maybe 40,000 people there and a max of 10,000 of us given how this season has ended

I am SOOOOOO excited for my trip to the Gold Coast. lovely 6:30am flight up into some 10am beers, then 11am beers, then 12pm beers, then an uber to the ground and a cart to take me to surfers for some ribs and beer tasting at house of brews.

It’s ok, nobody panic it’s just the whole leadership wanting out.

To sum her up, I was at the King's Birthday awards ceremony last year where she received an award. Everyone is very humble and happy to be there and dressed in black tie for the governor. She struts in, in a bright red suit like she was the best thing on the planet. I just reckon that says a lot about a person and who they actually are as a leader.

It’s not about a couple of home games, it’s about the agenda to move us to marvel full stop. If that happened (which it won’t) we’d be buggered

Club is rotten off the field. Every chance this is viney and petracca away of saying the off field needs to change or we leave the club. Goodwin, Richardson, roffey, pert and the board all need to go.

Comment on Rivers and Tmac is irrelevant because they are both playing good footy after being moved. Petty keeps being [censored] and the coach is now to blame for this. Our fans stop turning up when it gets too hard to go to a game, ie too cold, too wet, too late at night, too early in the day and then more drop off when we stop winning. We are and always have been a fickle fan base. Yep, 8 blokes who normally are locks to go to games refused on Saturday because of goodwin picking favourites like petty and sparrow and then playing them out of position. They aren't the only ones.

They can't move Melbourne to Marvel, the club would fold if that happens. We rely heavily on our MCC members and the fabric of the club would be destroyed. The problem is not just the fan base. The problem is that people are sick of watching us play the same boring brand of football and playing players out of position. I know plenty people are refusing to go because Petty is playing as a forward and that's their right.

Of right we are back to honourable losses are we? The brand sucks and the fan base is voting with their feet.
