Very happy with his efforts so far.

Didn't get to see the game but I'm glad the filth lost after the Bucks COVID breach. Something to watch on FC tomorrow night.

I'll always defend Garry and I don't have the hatred for him that many MFC fans have for 'destroying' our club but I don't agree that he is the man to take us to the promised land and honestly I don't think he would be keen.

I reckon I binged Trailer Park Boys up until around 2016 I think it's time to get onto it again. I recently watched Space Force on Netflix, that was a good laugh.

So yeah nearly 2 years on from that and I think it's safe to say things are different for absolutely everyone now. I'd love to know how people are dealing with the current climate. Personally I thought I was doing quite well keeping up exercise, getting more into drawing but it's hit me lately that the isolation and lack of connecting with others is starting to get to me. A bit more irritable and a lot more defensive, things that would have just been ribbings and a joke I'm taking much more to heart. Yoga has been something that has definitely kept things on a sold base. How is everyone else going? Might get no comments might get many, either way is ok and I'd be happy to hear from you.

Our plan F isn't much chop either.

Yeah hard to disagree and can't be carrying guys for sentimental purposes with the way lists are. Unfortunately won't get to 300 but hopefully we can give him a good send off.

Didn’t write much in this thread last night, trying to wait till the day after once all the smoke has settled on results like these. I watched the second half of the West Coast v Collingwood game last week and with margins over 40 points this year being a bit more rare I had a slight chuckle and grin on my face. “Hey, that team is getting completely scorched and it’s Collingwood! A flag favourite! Who cares at least it’s not us for a change!” Well… We didn’t even have to wait a full week, be careful what you wish for as a Melbourne fan because no matter how embarrassing another team’s performance is you can bet your bottom dollar we are happy for someone to hold our beer and go one better, putting our supporters in that oh so familiar position of not only sad to lose but beyond embarrassed, not wanting to show their faces in public and void of any hope once again. We all know teams have the mulligan performance, it happens we get it. All the best sides get it blah blah blah. This team does it WAY too often. We’ve had at least 3 of them this year and it is just a habit now. In Grade 4 my teacher told us that for creative writing that we were only allowed to write one short story that included any violence. I did it anyway, by the middle of the year I had written about 3 and she politely reminded me that we were only allowed to write one. It’s a stupid and laughable example and yes I have gone a little loopy but it’s the same thing, you get 1 horribly inept performance in this game. It should be unacceptable, it should be criticised, it should be something you never aim to do again but for some reason you just keep writing violent 4th grade quality short stories and the message doesn’t get through. For as long as I can remember Round 1 2012 straight after Jim’s passing – no ticker, Round 1 2013 against Port – No ticker, Round 1 last year – no ticker the list goes on and on and on and it seems perfectly acceptable. For the first time almost ever I would have loved to push a button to enforce the mercy rule in the 3rd quarter and end the game with the final score there, I had no faith at all that we were going to score and even though we got a couple it was still crappy viewing. I think responsibility is 70% players and 30% Goodwin last night. Weak as water efforts, Under 10 level skill errors and bad bad bad decision making. Really reverted back to the panic and don’t see open players thing. Max is now completely wasted and I firmly believe half of an oppositions preparation is going into him, studying his hitouts and where they go. How do we god damn solve this issue because it’s going to keep going. One dimensional, beat us at contested ball and win. No plan B, no ‘if X is happening we’ll do Y’ X was Port making us kick to the left hand side every time and Y seemed to be let’s keep kicking it long down the left hand side. I’m too tired and unproductive at work to keep this going right now, big thanks to anyone who read this. Just needed to get it out, at least the podcast is on tonight. I think everyone will be impressed hearing from Adrian he’s as die hard as they come.

"See the Bombers fly up, up and not win a final for 16 years.." "Oh the premiership's a twice in 60 year cakewalk.." The reaching, my word the reaching! By the way Port Adelaide's song is the worst in the comp by far. That stupid trumpet at the start, the whimpy exclamation of "Power" at the end. No thanks.

I'm not totally sure what it is Waltham but he seems to be playing a half back flanker role a lot of the time (at least that's where most of his possessions are), hard to see without being at the game and focusing on what he's doing but there's definitely been a shift. I think he's a guy that relishes covering territory and running his backside off, may even feel like he's wasted when he's unable to play that way.
