Heart Beats True

TMAC is not the answer and unfortunately well past it. You can say "pay respect" etc however if he is playing at CHB, we are in huge trouble.

I’m hoping Gus’s brave decision lights a fire in the boy’s stomachs that gives them some perspective of how fickle their time in footy can be and really drives them to attack the upcoming season. With all the external noise happening at the moment, this may centre everyone and give them some focus.

Completely gutted though I’m proud of Gus to prioritise his health over the game he loves.

I can't believe it. I did not expect to be a top 10 pick. I'm so grateful for the opportunity they've given me. Probably the best feeling ever when all my best mates jumped on me when I got my name called out. Half of my family goes for [the Demons] so I know a bit about them! Obviously want to play my first game, stay in the team and win a premiership. I play on the wing and I pride myself on my pace and my defensive pressure."

Sold!

Hold onto the picks we have unless we can snag pick 1. I would much prefer two high quality players at 6 and 11 than one with pick 2/3.

Funnily enough, he kicked a bag of 6 last season.

The word easily needs to be tempered. He played 23 games in 2021 for 30 goals and has only one other time, during his 12 years at the Dees, kicked more than 26 goals in a season.

Either one of McQualter or Stinnear would be a great appointment.

Nathan Bassett is now available. Has just left Port.

Has announced to the boys this season will be his last. https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1428993/michael-hibberd-calls-time-on-afl-career

My kingdom for an imposing power forward in the Tex Walker mould. This is a must this off-season. An actual forward to coach the forwards would also be a good start.

Quietly bricking it and trying everything to avoid thinking about the game 😬

Come on down JVR 💪

The game day thread never disappoints 🤣 You’d think we just missed the finals.

North have started the tanking 🙄

Bill Laurie totally devoid of confidence.

Good to see Melbourne are consistent. Without fail we never turn up against the teams we should beat. We are mentally fragile.

Lever and May totally stinking it up. They need to pay their opponents some respect FFS.

Anyone want to play on Bruest? Petracca also needs to get into the game.

Jefferson looks to be playing up the ground on the wing. Interesting.

Tomlinson is far too good for VFL.
