Game against Freo - umpiring
Those 50m protected zone goals are killing the game. Cost is last week and some rediculous ones over the last 2 weeks the hannebury one last night was the worst of all-time.

New CEO - Gary Pert
He will be better than Paul Macnamee. And won't leave mid season to play legends doubles at Wimbledon

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - CHARLIE SPARGO
Happy to not have Jeffy at this stage. Spargo has shown in one game that he is polar opposite to Jeffy in terms of hardness and willingness to chase/ tackle. Jeffy does it one game then 3 games he goes missing , been an issue his whole career . You know what you will get with Spargo even though he has played 1 game.

Our Failure to Crush Teams
100% agree Hunt , Vince, Tyson, Jones, Harmes, T.Mac, Lewis, have generally had a least one awful clanger per game that either costs us scoring a goal or gives the opposition a goal. It's a concern that of all our list there are only 4-5 players I trust with ball in hand. Jetta, Watts, Brayshaw, Salem, Oliver (who only kicks it 2-3 times a game)

Josh Kelly
Bumping this thread. Is there any reason why we would not be going hard for Kelly, I think he is as much what we need as lever? If he wants to come home I think we should be throwing an offer to him. He has old school mates in Salem and Hunt at the club, salem in particular is close to him.

Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever

Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever
I too am reluctant to pay top $$ for him. the floating third tall type defenders can be found out really quickly . I don't know enough about lever and don't watch enough adelaide games jut general consensus is he is a future star but Colin Garland was great for 2-3 years playing a similar role

Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever
well a long way from a done deal but we would need to give up something to get him. Crows would be after our 1st rounder and a player of starting 22 quality. Is he worth a top 10-20 pick and a player of say an ANB quality (who they might entertain given their lack of midfield depth).

Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever
doubt he met with MFC maybe his manager but I thought it was against the rules to meet in season

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - STEVEN MAY
big yes from me, big strong unit who uses the ball well. has good leadership qualities and most importantly a football brain. our three talls the maccas and frost all have at times horrible disposal and lack footy smarts.

The Petracca v McCartin debate reprised
To Have a debate you need 2 opposing views with reasonable arguments to try and persuade neutrals to your points of view. There is currently no debate even St Kilda die hards could not argue that Mcartin was the right choice over Petracca so debate over!

Anyone for cricket?
I know he is a Victorian and Demons man but thank god, I have become sick of his whinging everytime someone sticks i mic in front of him Truth is he was not up to test or 1day international level. Other that that 200 against S.Af in which he was dropped 4 times he was very ordinary in all the other tests he played and never looked comfortable at that level. He got enough one day oppurtunites at one day level and failed , one tour of india sticks out in particular could not handle the pressure and failed everytime he batted thanks for all you have done for the vics, but the hard done by tag he carriers with alot of cricket supports in this state is wrong imho
