Nervy, nervy times.

Opinions ranging from credible sources to backyard blow-hards matter somewhat. For instance I'm not listening to an ex player on a pod who maybe watches Melb play 3 or 4 times a season compared to someone paid to watch every week. But rpfc said he works for The Age so that answers my question.

Well he can always change his mind and sign earlier. That's what I'm hoping anyway.

Is Stokes even in the media or is this some kind of backyard podcast job?

Appreciate the write up gs77, cheers!

Should be an interesting Gus and Gawny..

Well that does not sound good, will need to hear it myself but that is a massive kicker if it sounded the way most are describing it. It does feel like something is a bit off at the moment.

Andy and Binman are the perfect Yin and Yang for me. Binman I could listen to forever and very few people I've heard have been able to explain complicated things so quickly. Except the loading theory though we'll need the Binman thesis for that. Andy often reminds me of my instant reactions straight after the game and being the realist. I've often felt the way Andy does so I relate to him too.

They've all called us out now, better to be called out a month before the end of the season than in the first week of finals when Geelong usually get called out. The boys and coaching staff will know what they need to do.

As Gary Pert said a few years ago: "The MFC won't know itself once we have a permanent home base". It will be amazing when it happens.

Come on Gus, give us some gooood news!

Exactly, create a bit of chaos in there again. That's when we generate the most scoring chances.

Our goals from centre clearance were great but relying on that to score is worrying.

It makes delicious paper reading for sure. The late bolter no-one expected, the reigning champ with the wheels falling off, pure Wheaties material.

Gotta get the best deal I think, no guarantee he becomes a huge success.

Weight of the world on his shoulders now

We need better players I guess, whi ever thought you had to regenerate a premiership list?

This is what I don't understand when people call for the gameplan to be overhauled. It's like the gameplan was working well right up until the last minute.

I remember being shocked that he got straight back into it.

It's not Jordon from the massive falcon he copped?

Wouldn't mind some of Stokes' forward pressure

Surely West Coast can still feature in all this?

Well thanks media for letting us know, we'll now fix it.

I'll tell you what I've worked out? That I need to go home, been a long day and there's been a lot of food for thought.

If it's having a massive impact on the team and culture then the best we can hope for is they all get together, hug it out, bind together and go on to win the premiership like in Bad News Bears or some other feel good movie that I have no memory of.
