    Was thinking a later 1st rounder and some sort of steak knives... 11 would be fantastic

    He gets it.. Nailed it..

    Im reminded of Roos's take on this. Trade for need , draft for talent. We have needs

    Lots of things we can't see.......

    Would you think then we'd likely get a latish 2nd round pick... which i suppose is beer money in any deals with others upgrading our pick(s) ??

    Its just a little harder for team with no access to neighbouring rural properties......

    A good article. Definitely. I'll be disenchanted sufficiently to do a severe edit. As not only does it sum up our position it highlights the perpetrators. " they shot themselves in the foot...twice" Damming.

    Permutations and orientations untried... for sure.

    Ordinarily i might concur... but there's a further context ...imho. of Max's kick... he fluffed both relatively easy shots. That he should have slotted both let alone that one is really the measure ...as it is also fuel for the media. He was certainly not alone .We couldn't hit a barn... it was like a lurgy that the team was suffering... ( and has for a while ) That wasn't a one off... and that's surely the bigger picture needing addressing ??

    I'm somewhat confused about all of this. I'm all for gallantry, all for good sportsmanship ...all for a good fair game etc. I'm just not 100% about how this should apply to what took place. Quite possibly it's not for the players to call out each other. I really don't know if that happens so have nothing to gauge by. Whilst I don't think it was for him to displace Cripps from playing I'm equally of the thinking it wasn't for him to help facilitate it either. To say it had al lthe possibility of an event-changing outcome is not far fetched. I would wonder if in the reverse would there be a similar outcome ?? Same Weitering We are talking about the long fingered Bluebaggers who are fond of a good 'story" !! I'll just put it all in the "strange umpiring " basket..A lot of that happens at Melb - Blues games doesn't it !!

    You've hit on something.. i think. " saw no joy " .. that's it. I think the closest word i can hijack is anxiety. There was no real spark out there... it seemed very highly strung on our part. BBOs phrase of the day recently.. "Joie de vivre" ..as it pertains to the game.. the fun, the buoyancy etc... wasnt there. Is it that the malaise that seemed to blanket our game for much of the night came from a worry of failing ( yet again ) and this usurped their natural confidence and enthusiasm...... for certain the latter was taking the evening off. Dunno.. just a bit of left field thinking....cheap seats and all

    No

    Why do you think we couldn't execute..all very glib to use this buzz-word as the get out.. but reality is thats the result...not the reason. Irony much in your last paragraph.
  18. beelzebub
    You'd think so wouldnt you...It' al been about sucking up the pressure and then rebounding. Problem is we've been getting worn down. Quite frankly we looked tired and spent out there in the last qtr. I thought Max had had enough... Kicks weren't going where they ought to... the boundary line became our refuge ...AGAIN. Our skills wre quite frankly borderline attrocious as the game wore on ( emphasis on WORE ). Whatever craft we have up thefront end had long left for home.. Resilience is aboutovercoming the tiredness and the pressure and maintainng the status quo...or whatever abilities you need to bring to the party and sadly were were lacking and all over the shop...Thats WHY Carlton ran over us.. Everyone keeps banging on about if only ...if only..... Well..WE DIDN'T WE DIDN'T.....because we couldn't. Whatever happened to the famed and lauded End Game Plan?? it died along with our ability to be effective.. We were the far more fatigued of the two teams at the end. I do agree with the notion our game has long been about resilience.... I suggest we go find it again...

    It most certainly would...and be so from the get go....and get BETTER over years. I personally think too much is made of a singular golden entity. The one that single handedly wins all. Rarely happens and i dont think we want that anyways. When we do get "on" we invariably have multiple goal scorers. Not uncommon though for someone to have a day out ivf conditions ripe. You want, imo, a good cohesive unit. A goid forward team. Becomes very hard to match up on and defend. So whether it's him or as Red suggests a kinda similar type but a smokey... we need some who CAN... not someone who might one day.

    Fair enough... Those Elephants are going nowhere....

    What an interesting topic. If someone had asked me ...what one quality do you think Melbourne needs more of ?.. I would have answered RESILIENCE. We choked. Anyone want to argue otherwise ?? When you do such you WILL attract such commentary that questions fragility. That's just going to happen. Ive no particular time for the little annoying dweeb... but I do entertain we got done over. And that's between the ears...as we struggle to get between the posts. What is...IS. The club needs to deal with this. It's real. We went out in straight sets.....twice... nit because we were thoroughly beaten..... but because we couldnt win....even though we essentially had. I dont have a problem with what any in the media say... let them. We stuffed up, let's do better. Let's be more resilient.

    Must be Banana Daiquiri time.....🍹
  23. beelzebub
    Thats just it $1M.. not massively over all in all... imo.. for what you should expect. You would want 50g a season ?
  24. beelzebub
    How ?? Blindingly obvious surely. Calling spades spades.... Gotta be done

    I seriously don't understand why they don't. But it's very Melbourne to not do so... and it gives me the [censored]
