PODCAST: Rd 09 vs Carlton
Love the pods guys. Always an important part of my week! Not really a question, but a comment: Our start vs Carlton was obviously deplorable (not helped by the free kicks against), but I was very impressed by the âtickerâ and âbeliefâ we showed in working our way back into the game, and then ultimately running it down to the wire. IMO this ânever say dieâ attitude, combined with a full list, can take us a long way in 2024. It probably sounds like heresy, but this was the first time in many years that I havenât felt totally âguttedâ after a loss.

VOTES: Rd 08 vs Geelong
Epic win!! Very hard to fit them all in to the 6 votes. My votes: 6. Lever - duplicated his effort of last week. A pillar! 5. Petty - welcome back Petts. Outstanding return to form. The goals will come! 4. May - a rock. Continued his complete dominance over Hawkins. 3. Gawn - what a ruckman, what a leader, what a goal! 2. T. Mac - continued his renaissance against the Catâs best player. Iâm thrilled for him. 1. Windsor - a kid in only his eighth game. Unbelievable! Loads of apols, headed by Lingers, McVee, Fritta (GOTY?), Koz and Clarrie. Go Deeâs! We are pretty damn good!

PODCAST: Rd 07 vs Richmond
Jeremy Cameron is an outstanding player in outstanding form, and he plays a unique role for the Cats. IMO, if we can limit his influence, it will take us a long way to beating the them. Iâd love to hear the panelâs views on how we might go about this. Love the Pods. Thanks, and keep up the great work guys!

PODCAST: Rd 05 vs Brisbane
Another fantastic pod guys! As an interstate member, the pods give me far and away the most informative and balanced overview I can get of every Melbourne game, without actually attending most games (I 100% agree with @binman view of the football media). Thanks once again for your great work!

VOTES: Rd 05 vs Brisbane
On a very disappointing night, that weâd all rather forget: 6. Gawn - a clear 4 quarter winner (such a pity that we couldnât take advantage of his dominance) 5. TMac - dependable in the face of an avalanche of entries 4. Langdon - ran hard all game, without much support 3. Lever - mostly solid throughout 2. Sparrow - deserves some credit for being our best pure mid 1. Rivers - worked hard, and added a bit of spark when moved to the middle in the last.

PODCAST: Rd 04 vs Adelaide
Really looking forward to the pod to keep us company on the long haul across the Hay Plain from Adelaide to Canberra. Thanks in advance guys! Q: Some of Billingsâ tackling / pressure vs Adelaide was not in keeping with the Melbourne DNA. On the other hand, we have seen that his ball use can add an important touch of class in an area where we need it. Is this an acceptable trade off? If not, what is the answer?
