Carlton have nice top end talent thatās selling a dummy to people thinking itās an easy fix. If Voss does Stephen Bradbury his way into the job, itās too bad McRae took what Voss really needs, Leppa. Carlton lack any defensive system, combined with or because of a lack of 2 way runners. That is going to be no easy fix, you reckon Teague wasnāt aware of it the whole time? They're wasted money on flankers as others have pointed out, instead of hard workers to compliment what they have going for them. Cerra would be a handy addition to their (any) midfield, will he make a big difference there? Iām not convinced at all. The other problem Carlton have is the teams around them will get better. They finished on the same points as Hawthorn ffs, in a pure development year for the Hawks. Essendon, GWS will hold if not get better, Freo should improve, and theyāll drop points to teams falling down the ladder that are better than them, Richmond, West Coast, Geelongā¦ Apart from Geelong itās a pretty vibrant top 8 that may take a fair effort to crack into in the coming years.

Weāre missing it - a place to vent
Doesnāt bother me. I learnt a long time ago to enjoy what I do have. Donāt worry about what I canāt have. But I genuinely feel for those of you that are feeling it and not getting to witness it in person. Youāve done the hard yards and deserve full enjoyment. Take heart that this team looks like it could give you a couple more chances to enjoy it in person.

Medals for All?
Absolutely medals for anyone that played during the season. If the Melbourne Football Club wins a premiership then the players that represent the club won a premiership. āCheapensā nothing. If anything itāll add more pride to the players playing for their mates that didnāt make the 22 on the day. The players on the field on the day have that memory and archive footage for life. Jones, Jetta, Hunt/Jordon getting a medal wonāt change that.

What I've Learned from David King*
Last week he learned us that the Cats beat you up inside, nothing surer, itās their DNA, itās what they do. Next minute, they donāt lay a glove on us, in a bruise free prelim. Him getting it wrong is my favourite media watch.

Hope he goes to a rival club that needs good forward tackling pressure. I kid I kid. Good luck to him. Kinda serious.

Grand Final Day - What will you do?
Iām high risk, pneumonia nearly killed me 9 years ago, if I get covid Iām cactus. A bad cold would probably do me in these days. My brother wants to come and watch it, but I used the above as an excuse to say no. Iād rather watch it alone, Iām going to be a nervous wreck, I donāt want to ruin his day by blaming him for every goal against by not following my idiotic superstitions. In a perfect world Iād be with my uncle and brother at the G. But it aināt perfect so Iāll just enjoy what I can do. Of course if we lose, I invite anyone with covid to come and sneeze in my mouth.

Goodwinās ādevil hornā sign š¤š»
Would Goodwin be the first coach to win a flag coaching the entire season from the bench?

Sam Weideman re-signs until 2023
You know what else they all have in common? Theyāve all developed or gotten better under the current successful regime. Weid, with a better pedigree than all of them has not improved at all. Iād give him a one year cheap contract if he wants it, simply because itās a hard position to recruit for. And I mean cheap. If he doesnāt take it thatās fine. Luke Jackson will be clunking them up forward next year. And a red hot Gawn can also go down there whenever needed. Weāre not as light on as most think. Gotta buy a couple of years to draft or poach Brown/Tomald replacements. Weid unfortunately isnāt it.

Mitch Clark nominated Freo. Plus the other examples already given means itās not always, at all.

Apologies if Iāve missed it, but why only Carlton? If itās true that theyāre all heās interested in apart from us having a cheeky crack, why them? Why not, you know, a proper club? With a coach, CEO and any semblance of direction. I was baffled when Saad and Williams went there, wanting to go there now seems like absolute madness to me. Why arenāt Hawthorn or North an option? Why arenāt Richmond moving some deck chairs to replace old deck chairs like Cotchin and Edwards and the injury prone meatball? Have I missed something?

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - KYSAIAH KROPINYERI PICKETT
Not enough love going round for Kozzie I feel. If that was Cyril on Friday night people and commentators would be losing their [censored]. 3 superb goals, doesnāt waste a possession and his first involvement was sublime. As Dazzle said, 40 goals in grade 2. 2nd year goals: Wiz 36 Betts 21 Cyril 21 Koz already goals ahead and a superior fitness base, the possibility of surpassing them all is realistic. And thatās crazy. Edit: I havenāt read the game day or post match threads yet, savouring them to fill in the days. Not enough love in the media or wider football world I meant.

Jones v Geelong. Every Jakovich goal. Oliver on the boundary at Adelaide oval. Watts v Collingwood. Dom Sheed v Collingwood. Every Max Gawn goal.
