Well this sucks. Whenever Melbourne gets the ball just imagine Benny Hill music playing, it really is fitting

I'm sure he's a lovely guy, but I can't understand why we persist playing Petty right now, I would much MUCH rather have Turner running around down back than Petty at the moment and I don't think there would be many who disagreed with that.

Turner very stiff to get dropped, he actually leads and competes pretty well I thought. He'd be wondering why I'm sure.

We need Caulfield, we obviously aren't very attractive compared to other clubs to the talent out there, we got to fix that!

Good on you Fritta, and seriously what better reminder that footy is just a game at the end of the day, this stuff is what life is really about...family! When all is said and done, the games have been won and lost, the most important thing is family. Well done guys congrats on your beautiful baby boy, hopefully you both get some sleep! He didn't deserve to be dropped anyway but wow he must have had a distraction or two recently with that coming up, absolutely huge life event right there :) Footy is great and all, but it really pales in comparison to having a kid.

Goodwin deserves to stay a bit but he needs to take the shackles off and let the talented players play the game they love, he will surely gets stacks more out of them if he does this. I know he probably won't though.

We do have a couple of kids we drafted as key forwards in Jeffo and JVR...I wonder at what point those guys just "click" and start becoming the key forward we're chasing...surely that's the idea behind drafting them? Is this why perhaps we haven't looked to bring in a senior ready made key forward? Is this idea going to work or have we now past it and realized it ain't working quick enough for what we need so we just need to go out and get our next Ben Brown?

Just not Woey Jnr and I like the idea of Laurie but he doesn't show enough...Woey really hasn't had anything to offer at top level he needs a long time in the reserves he should not be AFL level right now based on his recent performances. Jeffo to come back soon, reckon JVR needs time in reserves, for mine Fritsch stays in though he was good last game just needs to convert, and we all know he can. Would like Fullarton to come in and AJ to second ruck...not sure that sounds like too many talls though grrr who cares they'll do something and I hope we win just don't bring Woey in there are so many other kids ahead of him.

No thanks, Geelong can have him.

Await change...and stop listening to SEN for a while.

Hope Jed Adam’s gets a shot, let’s see what he’s made of. We know what we’re getting with Petty, give Adams a shot.

Looks like he took it well enough, all good fun, oh well something for the kid to work on...still a legend in the making!

My god we need a proper forward as a forwards coach, one with experience or insights into the modern game would be handy too. This should be number 1 on the whole club's list and we can get this happening right away...why they wouldn't do it is baffling. Admit this part of the game needs something different, make it happen!

You know what that's a great idea! He's obviously the most passionate guy we've got and is driven for nothing but success...make him captain dammit!

I thought Tmac was pretty decent, definitely trying and some good intercept marks. Would have him anyway over Petty right now

Petty out, Sharp out, Spargo maybe full game but looked ordinary too, not sure about JVR but rather him than AJ.

I totally feel like how Petracca looked, so I get it, I really just hope that translates into him trying to get everyone up and about and helping the team and the kids do better. You’re right it does appear he is invested, just frustrated, I just really do hope he stays and keeps being the beast he is and makes us better….my worry is he is too annoyed and just wants out so he can be back on the winners list, but let’s hope he’s better than that. Just hope after everything that happened he still does love his club. L O V E LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED

Anyone else worried that Petracca’s negativity and frustration towards his own team, including his display post game last night, is actually quite toxic for the team? Can’t imagine I’d want to go to work with a guy like that. Is it all just about Petracca now with Petracca or do we still feel like he’s invested in this team?

[censored] journalism aside, that’s exactly what I was thinking when I saw that shot.

What the hell is the point of Petty, he should go back to VFL for the rest of 2025 im so done with him he’s absolutely [censored]

Fullarton 5 goals is interesting, hope he can do that if he gets a senior spot.

We've had a couple of very stiff "not 15" calls against us that seemed like BS, or at least they didn't call the same for Cats. They don't make it easy for us do they.

Petty looks pretty hopeless, like he just doesn't care, why is he getting games? Henderson good, Milkshake, Chandler, Fritsch looking decent too is nice for a change. Less dropped marks but still some real easy ones, Gawn terrible dropped marks, JVR too but still we are looking better at least and still just in the game. Langford looks great and Trac and Viney too. Love Henderson getting kudos from Lyon, he's good. Petty though seriously, I hate to agree with Kane Kornes but he said it spot on the radio this morning you'd be wrapped if you found out Petty was the guy playing on you during a game...we can't have that!!!

Coaching?

Hahahaha that’ll teach Houston for not coming to Melbourne, pies are such sooks for crying out loud how dare they whinge about anything those wankers
