Young Angus

Whatever is going on, Petracca wanting to leave wouldn't have been because we were losing games there would have been other more serious things going on that the public doesn't know about. Him threatening last year seems to have been one of many things that caused a lot of changes at the club, and I would hope this means his concerns were addressed. It would be pretty petty and disappointing if a player just left because they wanted to win, especially a real heart and soul player like him. I doubt he just would pick up and leave because we aren't winning I would hope it just drives him to make us better even more and then when we do start winning it will be so much sweeter than just bailing out.

Haha I love this, totally support it, love Joe and his whole "vibe" but I doubt he's unhappy with the way he finished off his career with the fairytale ending. Would love it though!

YES I DID!! Scum move and you know what the MRO need to either go all in or not at all, these knees he's putting into people needs to be stamped out he nearly killed a bloke for goodness sake not to mention the knee in May's head in our game. Get a grip MRO and AFL...you want to stamp out this nonsense do it properly!

So hypocritical he gets rubbed out based on outcome for that but the knee to head concussion outcome from the speccy won’t register. they need to cut out the double standards just because they like speccys they can only seriously want to get protect the head if they don’t just cherry pick when they want to suspend people.

FRITTA back baby!! On the young guys, you can tell they’re trying but they’re still kids, just don’t have enough polish yet, they will though.

Love to see May forward oh god I hope we try this!!!

Thought he was great, loved to see it, was being spotted more and more and just needs to be kept in the side with his future mate JVR so they can develop together and just get used to the big stage properly. He's a great kick in VFL, I'm sure he can be at AFL too. Hope he just puts on some more size because that would surely help.

Would hope the brains trust at MFC see that the forward line actually looked a lot better than it has for a while and keep it that way, I thought it functioned very well. I'd hate for them to mess with it again just because someone like Petty might be available when really he is probably best to take Lever's spot right now anyway. Surely they would see that too and want to just let it lie for a bit. Give it a chance! On that too, don't you dare drop Tmac again he looks so much better right now than both May and Lever, just more fit and mobile plus a big guy, why he hasn't been in the team the whole time is beyond me but hope he stays now and I hope we get another year out of him in this form too, he's a gem. Shout out to Fritsch too...played beautifully and unselfishly he looked refreshed and a great team player and able to kick goals, he was fantastic and I hope we see more of that version of him that we all know and love to see!

^^^^^^^^

Tmac should not be dropped again, he's great, one of our best back there easily I'd feel much better knowing he and Disco were back there together on a regular basis...much more consistent and reliable than our other two rock star defenders...not knocking them, but surely this is how others see it too.

Why on earth did we drop Tmac anyway, he was one of our best and most reliable players, Got dropped while in form???

Would love to see Kentfield get a shot...I mean why not, what other options are there we haven't tried and failed with? Just get the kids in there and he's coming off a fresh deal and some goals kicked I mean c'mon live a little!

There was that report remember..."Jackson will seek trade to Melbourne at end of season" and all that. If this is indeed what Luke Jackson does, we would at least have a shot...let's hope he tanks for the rest of the season!

Lol poor Woey...why him?

Turner just so fast and excellent in defense, we need that speed there. I agree would rather him be in attack, but we would need someone just as fast and good at marking in defense to replace him. Lever looked better last game but not sure Petty would cut it back there anymore it would be a bit too slow I think.

All in (whatever we have to put all in now) to get Luke Jackson, gotta get him, he has to be a big part of the future plan and surely he'd want to come home with Koz now and get things humming again...my goodness that would be delicious indeed for 2026 I reckon we'd have a good tilt.

WOOHOO GREAT NEWS!!! Great for MFC great for Kozzy and great for all the little kids who idolize him...such wonderful news 😁 Now let's go get Luke Jackson back and get the band back together!!

Umpires umpires umpires...played a huge part in that game. Yes we could have won it a few times and didn't, but those umpires didn't help make it fair. I want to see Langford tried as a forward...the bloke can mark and kick...how is this not a consideration?

God how embarrassing for them to have a headline like that after not only poaching our players but constantly doing that exact thing to our players like Kozzie. Just a dumb thing for them to come out with. Total pot calling kettle black stuff haha well done Freo way to be total hypocrites.

I don't mind Petty, I used to get annoyed with him but I think the pile on is unfair. The bloke is just doing what he's told. I reckon he does well to provide a target and takes some great marks, albeit not quite enough of them and he isn't exactly fast but he does provide some contest. I'd love him to have more speed but I find he constantly surprises me with some of the things he's able to do. I don't mind him as a forward option and I think he will still develop, he does look a lot older but don't forget he's still fairly young (seems funny saying that considering he looks and moves like a much older person at the moment).

Its just blatant...we get a free called against us for something seemingly not worthy of it...then pies do exact same thing and somehow its not a free kick or worse yet they figure out a way to pay another free kick for pies. Incredible and hard to fathom why umps don't get raked over the coals for that kind of inconsistency.

I mean let's settle down, we did very well to get within a point of those protected species and the umps all against us, it wasn't a fair game and we still nearly won it. I know its frustrating and how can you expect to be able to win against those odds when it seems like the umps have it in for you but we did a lot right. Would like to see Jeffo and Viney, but I really want to see Jeffo and JVR try to get some mojo going...would rather see Jeffo in than JVR though really.

Shocking umpiring, we did pretty well considering the game wasn't a fair one. Surely we need some kind of arc to right the many wrongs that happen in a game like that. I don't care if it slows it down...until they can umpire fairly and un-bias they deserve a big brother making sure they do their job properly. Daicos really is loved by the umps. I mean we got within a point against a good team and those bloody umps. I'm no sook, but that wasn't a fair game! Granted we missed a few we should have got, we had a couple of chances to win it towards the end but just can't finish as well as others. Still...didn't seem like a fair game.

So many bad and looked like such a bias to Collingwood decisions. It's pretty shocking being on the receiving end of some of that [censored].

Interesting to see if we bring Jeffo in...not sure I would, but the Melbourne FC app has a bit of a Jeffo feature and that usually means someone is going very well to get a game...well it does with a debut anyway. Personally I reckon he might get eaten alive by the pies and he's doing well at Casey right now but he also seems like a bit of a younger Ben Brown with his kicking and his runups...I wonder if we'll bring him in.
