For a player who has been on two AFL lists, he is just going through the motions, and has been the same all season.

Except that Carlton, Essendon, St Kilda and Richmond still have them.

trouble is that it doesn't produce as much income/profit as the pokies were. ( I'm not a fan of them, but they kept the club afloat for 20 years)

Yes to all of the above. Same for me and @old dee ...we have been seeing it for 50 years!. Brian Dixon at the merger meetings said something along the lines of " we don't want to merge. We don't want second rate facilities like at Glenferrie. We want the best facilities"....how ironic today.

So much for the feasibility case. It is probably stored along side the football department review file at the end of last season. We now have a proposed new site, with different building limitations or opportunities. And it seems nothing is going to happen until we get the new CEO through the door. Back to square one. At least the proposed location hasn’t changed. If this ever gets off the ground perhaps the players can spend the 2 hours spent in their cars getting to and from Casey for each training session practicing goal kicking!!

CH 9 reporting a COMPLETE copy of the 1964 GF has been discovered in Perth! Thought to have been lost, with only about 30 mins previously available. More info as it comes to hand.

....calling for @Supermercado ....

AFL just have to get the umpires do do what they do in the AFLW….stand 5m in from the boundary line. But hey! Why would they do something sensible?

Good kicks still score goals in windy conditions. Poor kicks are still poor kicks, no matter the conditions. The question to ask is why there has been no change to the techniques for Gawn, Petracca etc over the years. It isn't hard to see what they do wrong in their approach.

...and with money tight for everyone in the current environment, people who would have left re-joining until the last possible time, now won't after a 0-5 start, combined with less than enthralling prospects on field in the coming weeks.

22 minutes into the 1st quarter until Clarry got his first touch....his only touch for the 1st! Meanwhile Newcombe has 6 disposals. What an absolute waste of our talent.

Based on previous years....add about 10K to the total at the end of March and that is the end of year total. We are heading for a total around 55k, but I doubt we will make even that mark this year. The numbers have only gone up by 2K in the past month. You need early season wins to convince people to spend their money, and we certainly didn't do that this year.

It is absolutely astounding that @Frosticles & @Demon Dynasty can see and suggest such obvious flaws with Max's kicking for goal, and how they should be corrected, yet Mark Williams has been the kicking coach for ( what ) 5 years? .....and we see no improvement. I would also add, do NOT turn your back on the goal, step backward and keep focussed on where it is going eventually. Then conduct the same procedure each and every time. Do not aim for the right post, because that is where it is going, if you continue to use a faulty technique which swings left.

Don’t get too excited about Fullarton as second ruck…he was only up against Oscar McDonald.

...plus the sponsorship dollars when the sponsors realise there are 20% fewer Melbourne members to sell product to.....
