We are supposed to take the gate receipts for the Queens Birthday and Anzac Eve games. its our year on both. Surely in good faith the Pies and Tigers give us the following year?

I’ve spent the last 40 years desperately hoping we might get that elusive premiership. Every instinct in me as a sportsman and competitor wants Melbourne to win at all costs but as a supporter i’m worried we will win. I don’t want our first premiership in nearly 70 years having an * next to it. Do we even want to win it this year?

Balllllllllllll said no crowd. Watch the umpiring come back to neutral. We’ll smash West Coast.

If I knew how to use the search function properly i’d quote myself over and over from last season saying we never used to switch. Kick out from full back to a side, then take it up that same wing, then kick to that same forward flank. The only reason we won inside 50’s was because every time the ball was in dispute we had hard competitive mids who just got it forward. Now we have two proper wingman so we can switch any time knowing we are safe out wide on the other side. Chaos football only works if you are unpredictable. We’re now.

It doesn’t matter if Weid is in the ruck or forward he was drafted to take marks. I was told a few years back by Macca that he is the biggest asset on our list because he can take marks at the peak of his leap with height and outstretched arms so could break opposition zones. Problem is he can’t take a mark. He no longer has the excuse of being out muscled. He has been on the list long enough and spent more than enough time in the gym to build the required strength. I hate bagging Melbourne players but the kid is Brent Grgic number 2. All false reputation no AFL ability.

Petty.

Would you even play him in the VFL? It’s like having Ablett on your list. Most talented player we have got. Oliver, Petraccaand Gawn are not in the same league.

HB told me at the family day he is going for round 3. He looked like he was serious. one of the most gifted players ever.

I have being saying the same thing to every Richmond supporter I know. Really rate Sydney Stack but I don’t envy him. The hardest player in the league is coming after him.

Petracca is training the house down. HB could be anything. May turned up looking like a footballer. Do we have a whipping boy yet this year? Oscar or Weid i’m guessing.

Had a very brief chat with HB. Anyone who thinks he is hoping to play half way or late through the season is mistaken. He reckons he will be going much earlier than that. He also picked up a kids footy completely different size to what he would be used to and drilled the kid he was kicking it to 30 meters away with a picture perfect drop punt. Early crow of the year. He can beat Petracca in the b&f.

I’m going. I hope Burgess is signing autographs.

My knock on him is marking. Even in the 18 finals series he wasn’t clunking them they were two bites. One of them was even Bradbury like the rest of the pack fell over and it landed in his lap.

If Petracca wasn’t so fat he could become a decent player.

Burgess talked about rotating players through the squad during the pre-season cup games. I’d be surprised if Hunt didn’t play in at least 1 of the next 2.

Love the centre bounces our ruckwomen just thumps it forwards and hanks takes out any opposition that touches the ball. Gawn and Viney need to watch and replicate this play.

I need a safe space. MCG will do.

I hope he transforms his ball drop when kicking.

Only because Kosi hasn’t played yet.

No leaving for him was right. From what I understand, from a source incredibly close to Hogan, his mental health was the best it had been in a long time when he moved back to Fremantle. For anyone saying we dodged a bullet I think you are shallow. Had Hogan stayed it is almost certain he would have had the same issues. I’d like to think the MFC would have looked after a kid they drafted at 17 and benefited from others seeing how we treat our own. There is more to life than footy and I hope he bounces back from another adversity.

I went down to watch before venturing over to the tennis with my young daughter. Ash Barty & Daisy great role models so a great double header. Jack Viney was there. I love the way he embraces everything MELBOURNE. Also worth noting no crutches or strapping unlike the same time the last few years.

Assume you live in Drysdale. Bomber made quite the impression when he was on the bellarine peninsular. Stories are legendary. First year players would go to home house (night club in Geelong) and leave before him. He’d Go straight through to the next training.

@drysdale demon i’m sure you are well aware of that inDrysdale

Bomber Thomson coached a team to a flag when he was on ice. It doesn’t mean things are going well.

At least non-partisan, indigenous, unifying, number 1 in the world, Ash Barty got the Young Australian of the year. The country is behind you Ash.
