From what I've heard, I don't think jamarra staying in Melbourne is a good idea.

I don't doubt that we need to work on both. I just don't think just doing drills at every captain's run is going to cut it.

I think not having a proper key forward puts a lot of pressure on the rest of the team to deliver. Once one teammate misses, the pressure to kick on between the sticks increases. It is the worst in key moments of matches - take the carlton semi in 2023 and the last quarter on Sunday.

The problems with goal kicking seem to be mental than skill based. You've got to fix that thing between the ears and that takes more than than drills and practice.

The Alice game is about more than winning and the money. If we're so worried about our record there, then maybe we should do pre-season there or at least a practise match or two. If the game produces outcomes like the link below, I don't mind at all that we play there.

Carlton is always near the top too.

Agreed.

If the rumours about Jackson are true, one of the reasons why he might like to come back is because he maintains a good relationship with Goody.

Can they stop reporting on him? Leave the man alone, he's clearly having personal problems and has a history of mental health issues. This is so irresponsible of McClure, not that I'm surprised.

Me too. He makes our team better. He is not afraid of the contest and a tackle here and there. He was great last week too.

No. Fullarton kicked bags in the seconds before he was considered for AFL team. You need to reward performances. Jeffo needs to find form. JVR before Jeffo.

That was a really poor moment.

I think Fullarton will go out for Roo or Disco next week but I think he's better as second ruck in comparison to Roo. I don't know whether it is fading. I think inaccuracy let us down more than anything and maybe added some complacency. Had those behinds been goals the momentum would have been different.

💯. Sometimes I wonder whether some demonlanders actually like MFC.

It's the start of the season and we need to rest him when we can. A win is a win and I'll take those 4 points and a rested ruck for next week's game.

I feel like Richmond supporters always complain about this against us? 🤔

Sat in a section full of Richmond supporters, who believe they have been robbed due to free kicks.

I reckon Tracc said it to the leadership group or a few people and it's been passed onto Tom Morris as a bigger thing than it was. Regardless, I'm glad it's being reported by multiple people that he intends to stay. His agent and whoever is leaking want the press to highlight this, which is a good thing.

Why would you rather Campbell? I think it's better to have a key forward who rucks. We need Campbell at Casey to help Verrell and I'd much rather use Campbell when we really need him (if Max needs to be rested or gets injured).

Well, someone wants it known that it allegedly happened. Whoever is leaking to Tom Morris, their Intel is that Trac is staying put. I'd much rather something positive be leaked than something negative like last year.

It's up on the AFL site too.

Well it's looking likely that they won't... Fingers crossed.

They need to send a message. He's a public figure.

And it's not like he's losing income if he doesn't play.

He's lucky. He could have killed that guy.
