I couldn’t care less about our game this week. Friday night against Carlton should be exciting, but this is the least excited I’ve felt for an upcoming match since 2019 when we were bottom four. Well probably win against an injured depleted Carlton, but who cares. If we win, big whoop. If we lose, we’re rubbish.

Insane that Cerra got off and the 17 others didn’t. Some with less dangerous tackles too. This season in general has been ****house. Not only has the tribunal and umpiring been poor, but the quality of football and general excitement from watching games has been rock bottom. Can’t remember a less interesting season. Great job AFL.

Salem has returned and took the kick ins. Mays numbers have been inflated from taking the kick ins.

The loyal bloke who didn’t want to leave that we kicked out? Bleeds red and blue and it’s a damn shame he’s running round at another club now.

Hope we’re in Humphreys ear still. Throw the kitchen sink at him and offer the Suns whatever they want. The kid is the next Petracca and will be an elite midfielder.

Also well done Jayden Hunt tonight. Currently has 31 disposals at 87% and doing all he can to keep the Eagles from folding. I’ll always have a soft spot for Jayden. He was super unlucky to miss playing in our premiership. He’s definitely better than some of the spuds we’ve had running around recently.

Yep Dogs looking like stealing it here. Side note, I love the look of Bailey Humphrey as a potential future elite midfielder. I can see why our recruiting staff tried to trade up to get him last year. He’s the perfect blend of power, aggression and explosiveness. Very similar to Petracca. Would not be against trading first rounders to get him across.

Reckon there’s a very very long thread on here already called something like ‘is Goodwin the right guy?’

We’re 0 wins 4 losses as Naarm. Stuff it

We’re wasting a premiership quality list again this year. Unfortunately it looks like the end is coming quickly for some of our senior players, Gawn included :( This year is turning into the most disappointing I can remember, and that’s because we should be right amongst it but instead lose on repeat to any decent teams. Our record against top 8 teams speaks for itself. Our gameplan this year doesn’t cut it. What a [censored] waste

Well and top and should be fine th we in front. Defensive pressure and transition into our zone has been very good. Just need to finish our work and get more reward on the scoreboard for our control.

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.
