Farewell James Harmes
You're absolutely right Deever, it is something that has been a challenge for me personally but it's the disagreements that make this place the thinking forum that it is and not the slander and hogwash you see on social media. It can be a challenge disagreeing in text, you just miss so many important aspects of a face to face discussion. You can take the most polite responses in text as an attack if you have the wrong mindset. It's all about having the right one.

Kings Birthday Eve
Can take it or leave it. There's starting to be a lot of marquee games that teams have dibs on, another reason why complaining about the fixture being unfair becomes a waste of energy.

Great viewing. If you haven't seen it, watch it. Education is key.

Lachie Hunter fined by the AFL for...
Wow. You have 80,000 people in the grandstands each week that players are trained to mentally block out but you can't have one opposition player on the sidelines say boo.

Farewell James Harmes
I'd think there is something to this story. He sounds like he's been having a rough trot lately. Whatever the issues he’s been dealing with have been. I love Harmsey and I’d love nothing more than him to force his way back into the team, I do feel he’s worth having on the list and would like to hang on to him but I can see the other side. He’s found himself in a position where he doesn’t quite offer enough in terms of what our system requires. He still has time but I wouldn’t begrudge him exploring his options at season’s end. Will always be a key member of our success and much loved.

We're the kings of kicking out.
Two things we would have asked for at the start of the year. - Better kick-out strategy - Improved set shot accuracy. We're doing something right.

Melbourne one dollar coins.
Went to the Perth Mint in Summer (Which I highly recommend by the way) and saw the million dollar coin that weighs a tonne and is currently worth around $50 million based on all the gold in it. Amazing stuff.

Draft Lottery
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the NBA only have the lottery for the bottom 5 or so teams? In my opinion the lottery should only apply for bottom 4 or at most, teams that miss the 8.

2023 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
Yeah think he was at Blackburn for a few years after Sandy. Had a bit of ability but sadly couldn't make it.

COACHES VOTES: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
Sicily got a lot of it but did he really do that much with it? Glad to see Rivers feature there.

PREGAME: Rd 10 vs Yartapuulti
What we've worked on in pre-season with the fast ball movement and taking the corridor where possible, this is what has to come to the fore now. If someone like Brown comes in we need to be utilising his strengths and finding him on leads. Hanging long balls up there and hoping we clunk a mark or get it to ground isn't going to be the way forward here.

When will Melbourne break these embarrassing records?
Yeah I'm the same, this thread was more like checkpoints on the way to becoming a better team and having a shot at a flag. I guess it's good to still have things like this to strive for!

That is true, the silver lining is that the opportunity has presented itself for someone. Can they take it?
