Yep. Don’t let that get in the way of the discussion though 😜 We tried to get him and missed our chance. His contract is too big for us to take on now. We’ll need to look elsewhere or just continue to develop JVR and Jefferson.

Goodwin just confirmed we won't appeal.

Hope we make a statement on the weekend and belt them by 100 points. Wouldn’t mind seeing a new entry into the Viney made me cry thread either, especially featuring the mummy’s boy. Make them hurt Dees!

Late last season when Selwood kicked his hand and broke bones. Not even a free kick paid for kicking in danger! He returned wearing a brace after a week and was limited through the end of the season.

We were keen on him at draft obviously and have stayed in touch. Let’s wait and see what happens over the next few years at the Suns… He’s had a few good games this year. It’s good to see him stepping up as a focal point. He’s been better than our tall forward this year for the most part!

Apparently he had tightness and they’re doing it as a precaution. Played out the last quarter ok, so hopefully it’s nothing.

Looks the goods and will be a Demon in a few years time.

This thread is dropping off, just like our own form. How depressing!

If we lose this match at the MCG to Freo like last year then this year can bugger off.

He’s putting together a very good season and would be pushing for a top five finish in our best and fairest so far. He randomly costs us a bad goal every week, but outside that he’s become seriously well rounded and versatile too.

Pressure needs to go on our midfield. With Clarry, Trac and Viney getting service from Gawn and Grundy, we should never get belted around the stoppages. To lose clearances 10-0 in the second quarter should be career ending stuff. Heat needs to come on Yze as the midfield coach. We’ve been beaten up around the stoppages consistently this year and it’s become a problem for us being that our game is built off contest and our stats are around the ball.

After an incredible third quarter, this final quarter has been gutless again. Regardless of the outcome here, we have a lot of work to do before September if we want to compete for the flag.

Cmon Melbourne. Stop kicking to the same flank on kick out!

I’ve been praying we get Butters for years. We were keen on him at draft too but couldn’t move up the draft enough to get him unfortunately. He’s a star. Still so young too and already an All Australian.

Where the bell was this for the first half?! Keep it up boys! Still a quarter to go

Keep fighting boys! Amazing what a difference it makes when you win some hard ball and give yourself a chance

Aaaaaand he kicks a nice goal. Thanks Kozzy haha

He’s forgotten he’s a small crumbing forward. He either flies for a mark he’ll never take or runs wide and no one near the fall of the ball. Absolutely infuriating this past few weeks!

How long until I’m allowed to turn it off without feeling too guilty?

Can we trade our first rounders for Butters please?

FIRE UP BOYS LETS KNOCK OVER THESE TEAL [censored]

We just need to harden up here. I’d love for someone to put Powell-Pepper on his [censored]. My most hated player and an absolute waste of skin.

Kickouts count as disposals, so his numbers are always inflated. He’s had enough kick out freebies given how many behinds they’ve kicked! Mays been poor this year. Hoping it’s a fitness thing due to his early season injury and not the beginning of the end now he’s the wrong side of 30.

JVR is a bright young talent, but jeez he runs under the ball repeatedly and is basically uncompetitive. He doesn’t have any support. Brown should’ve come in instead of TMac. At least he draws a man, free kicks, and was kicking goals before injury.

Pathetic. That was the worst quarter our current midfield has ever played.
