That play has done me in, turning off and going to weed the garden. Dismal

Norf errors keeping us in this, they should be 4 goals up. Really testing the optimism I had after last week.

Any danger of a clearance ffs? Mids getting absolutely smashed

1 goal from insufficient intent, one from a bad norf turnover and one from a 50m penalty. Would be nice to see one from us hitting a target i50

This has bad vibes. Very bad vibes..

Clearances 8-1, i50s 9-1, contested possessions 21-9 - they are flogging us so far. Brand petracca and Oliver need to extract the digit

Would be nice if our mids could touch the ball. Oliver looks way off the pace.

How the —— have they kept that so quiet? All the news was “oh he’s been interviewed but wasn’t involved, no charges etc..” Cats get the best media run in the comp, can you imagine if one of our boys was fronting court?

Fritta’s 17th on our all time goal kicking, and should finish the year 13th behind Barassi. Likely finish his career in the top 10. Hasn’t been at his best since the bung foot but he’ll come good. At least he can kick straight, JVR and Koz aside none of the others are much good at that (Turner maybe also ok)

Genuinely dislike going to pies games, unhappy insecure people who need to ruin everyone else’s day just to make themselves feel good. Hope we smash them on KBD

We’re singled out because there a couple of other clubs (Blues, Bombers) who thought they were going to print money at the Darklands and when that didn’t happen think they deserve our MCG spot.. they can p*** right off..

Took a few days to get through 22 pages but here we are. Nice to be back after the offseason, even better to be under cover in the members nice and dry while it was bucketing outside. Did we lose it at selection? No. Lost by 3 points to a serious team while creating more and better chances. Should we have gone smaller? Goody has never been horses for courses, he’s best-22 each week and that’s what we picked. Where we lost it was having a young team who aren’t all match fit and running out of legs towards the end of the 3rd & 4th. Didn’t have the legs but we nearly rolled them anyway, I think it’s good signs. Of the newbies: Lindsay very good, Sharp ok but small and doesn’t seem to have a long kick, Henderson same. Jefferson class but needs more aggression, Johnson good aggression but needs more class. Langford hard to say. I’d say Sharp and Henderson are behind Kozz and Spargo when they come back but it’s only week 1. I didn’t see as much as I wanted from Oliver, tore the Roos a new one in the praccy but didn’t set the world on fire this week. Giants have a lot of big bodies in the mids so it’s a tough contest. Annoying to lose but could’ve easily won it and if we were no good they would’ve toweled us. 7/10

Probably doing the club a disservice here but I’ve just noticed the SE Melb Phoenix NBL team have a Kayo membership for $250/$270: https://membership.semphoenix.com.au/Home/Template/71b8a0f8-5200-ef11-9f8a-00224893346f I’d encourage anyone partaking to spend some of the savings on club merch or something

2 CEOs in 11 years - hardly instability

You’d think so but I doubt that will be the takeaway by many.. Time for change, seems like the reviews are doing what they said on the box. Never met Pert, seemed like a salesman at heart which has pros and cons. Seems to have outlasted his welcome at 2 clubs but it has to be acknowledged that he also saw a flag at both those clubs so I doubt he’s the chaos agent some on here paint him out to be.

4th in our goal kicking, 3rd for tackles, 1st for tackles i50

I think that should read “Sam MacClure hasn’t given up hope of Clayton Oliver securing trade to Geelong” - typo from the AW social media team

Understand, but we can’t go back in time and sell 2021 Clarry, if we want to sell we’re selling 2024 Clarry - there’s no guarantee he’s worth more next year. If the penny hasn’t dropped by now will it ever? Best case is he stays and sorts his [censored] out but that’s not the likely case..

I think this is harsh. By the sounds of it he’s had issues all the way through but up until 2022 it seems like he was managing pretty well (as shown by 4 B&Fs, 2 coaches, flag etc). The breakup and the hammy seem to have derailed him to the point where it’s not the same trade off anymore, ability v drama may be tolerable if the ability is elite but if the output is getting lower and the drama is getting higher then there comes a point where it’s not worth it. Contract was too long in hindsight but I can only imagine the meltdowns on here if he’d asked for a trade because we only offered him 4 or 5 years instead.

Clarry is leaving ”The bootstudder has to go!” Actually Clarry is staying ”As I said the bootstudder has to go!” Maybe some people just have something against the bootstudder?

My turn to apologise then YB, no offence intended

You missed the sarcasm there fella

Don’t be silly, everyone on here knows exactly what’s happening and why it confirms their existing views about whether it’s Pert or Goody or both that need to be sacked immediately

Stafford and McQualter both out so far means 2 spots to fill at least.

Absolutely no way anyone other than about 5 people know definitively what’s going on. Lies, damn lies and Sam McClure tweets are all we have to go on. Someone might want to spread the word it’s all Pert so they don’t get offside with the player. Someone else might want to suggest the footy dept are all in it together so it looks like a group decision. Someone might want to suggest it’s driven by the playing group, someone else might want to suggest it’s Trac pushing it and someone else again might want to rebut that so they don’t look like the bad guy. No one is telling the complete truth while something like this goes on, and probably not even after it’s done.
