Had a coffee yet ? Asking for a friend...

Your missing the point. I'm not debating the good bad or otherwise of pokies. I'm suggesting it matters not whether we have them or another. The problem truthfully is the player. And they always find a machine. We haven't solved anything, if that's the litmus, by moving them.

No. It's effectively foolhardy to pretend. What really happened. Did the machines stop ?? I'm fully aware of what gambling is. You make a bet... not my problem... it's yours. Own it. Should we stop selling drinks ?? Hell, stop selling chips and pies.... save a lard [censored] or two. Ppl, society, needs to stop pretending it's always someone else's fault. If anything is a problem, of course seek help.

Yes... it becomes essentially empty virtue signalling. You're not saving the world

I'd argue we would have gone ok. 🤷‍♂️ We'll never know of course.🙄 Meanwhile FF 2025 And we still play a similar style Melb v Melb+other = D'oh !! 🥴

I reckon we're that good at it we might still find a way...

I hate stats Find them a poor guide as there's far too many nuances to the game and some very rubbery interpretations to consider them valid. But the one extrapolation possible is where we are and where we're headed and as you suggest Mr Fence we're not pointing upward. If that doesn't change ... well change must happen

My opinion of the review is ... it failed. Someone got some easy $$$

It kind of begs the question. If the 'new' location is possibly better than the other, why wasn't it looked at in the first instance ? 🤔🤷‍♂️ Anyway. Will be interested to see how take 2 progresses.

To all who suggest P.M. Ever tried to get to that place.. ??

Thought you were channeling our kicking there for a moment.. Prefer 11/7 😉

Yes and no. Reminds me in a fashion of French justice . IYKYK 😉

We have 9 games left If we win 5 of those and increase our% by just 5 I'll go he..but I'll concede Simon might have made a case for staying on. I'm not a fan. I'll make that gambit. Who on the converse will sign his papers eos if we don't??

What are the knocks ? Asking for a friend

I'd be happy to release him 😉 Win , win Happy Families

No good with logic I'd suggest Bing. The current regime has created ALL the factors. He's been there over 9 years The easy answer is to stuck your head in the sand and pretend it will just come good. Goodwin isn't the scapegoat. He's not accidentally compromised by being in proximity. He IS the Coach. He's da man !! The man in charge of others who he's picked to shape and form us. It's 2025 and we're [censored].

The reality is , all cherry picking on any side aside. Some do , some don't. Some will, some won't. Before this descends into a Racey song I can't see anyone providing guarantees any which way.. The only thing that seems stable ( of a fashion) and currently very predictable is we're trending down and we kick more points than goals more often than not. The current regime seems unable to right that ship. Logic* suggests change. *No cherry picking required 😉

Talking about games that killed momentum... and I bring it up with some trepidation. A certain final in 87 at the wastelands' That could have been a Flag. Those who were around might agree. If there's but one common theme to all of these.... essentially we Lost, the opposition didn't have to beat us. Theme still our mantra

I'm given to understand he more than a thorn and to more than just us. I'm sure Red would know more, but understand if would rather not say.

How much is kicking a ball at a park these days ??

You really have to ask.... what the actual f was Melbourne, in particular personnel who were either there on a platform of project ability or latter specifically to oversee this development, doing ? For how long and at what cost to only have the carpet laughingly pulled from under out feet. Please explain

Bloody Hell... what a bunch of 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 at Melb. I thought the big top at Caulfield was for kids.... maybe it is. My God we're [censored].

I'm a practical kinda bloke. Sometimes nice ideas don't work out and if you're already paying I just go for best outcomes... not best what-ifs.

Keep in mind Clarry can play a tagging role, quite well it seems. Imo even if he's 'attached' to an oppo mid zip wouldn't count him in the effective mids mix. What I'm trying to say is you could have possibly Trac/Viney in middle ( rotate to fwd ) and Oliver... just my thinking.
