POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs Brisbane
Get some commentators that truly describe the game and tactics, rather than just shouting player's names (Brayshaw) or babbling on and failing to draw breath (Taylor). Or when they do describe the game, just mansplain (Brereton).

POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
No, you're wrong. Watch it in slo-mo. The ball definitely passed in front of the goal post and Sicily went behind the post and out again to catch the ball. Should definitely have been a throw though.

POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
I don't think the ball went through for a behind. It stayed in front of the goalpost. I can't understand though how Sicily could pass it to himself, from one hand to the other, as he went behind the goal post. Surely that's incorrect disposal? Two free kicks missed, either one should have resulted in goal.

Round 8 Coaches Votes
Gawn had a 9 in the Age Footballer of the Year. I'm just wondering what you have to do to get a 10.

Mark site read buttpn
I can find the "mark forum read" button at the top of each separate forum page, but I think there used to be "mark site read" button at the top of the forum index. Can it be returned at some stage? (There is a "mark all content as read" in your profile, but a button would make it quicker.)

The James Worpel Thread
Gee, in another thread everyone is complaining how we drafted Schache, Dunstan and Billings.

Recruiting - where did it all go wrong
Melbourne's team against Geelong consisted of: 2021 Premiership players: Oliver, May, Pickett, Petracca, Bowey, Salem, McDonald, Fritsch, Viney, Langdon, Gawn, Sparrow, Rivers, Petty, Spargo (15) Not in the premiership: Sharp, Melksham, Turner, Windsor, Henderson, van Rooyen, Chandler, Langford (7) (It would have been nice to have Lindsay and AMW.) Somehow, I don't think the problem on Friday night was Schache, Dunstan and MacAdam.

Time to go Goody?
Without making a comment on our own performance, anyone who is making the play that "we only beat North Melbourne" needs to re-assess. They are building a great midfield, have some good backs and an excellent key forward, and are on the way up. They have had a plethora of early draft picks, made some astute later drafting and have a renowned coach. If you are disappointed in Melbourne's play, don't diminish North's capability.

The Upgrade Failed ...
I know from working with a CMS like Joomla that it's always incompatible extensions and plug-ins that cause upgrade issues. Trying to identify them is a great way to lose what hair you have left. Good luck, we appreciate it.

I'd be happy if they just turned the sound down to 130 decibels.

If it's this property, he'll need a few more millions to build a house.

Welcome to Demonland: Grill’d
Zurich probably didn't like it. They have now probably insisted on the correct colour.

Welcome to Demonland: Grill’d
Zurich will have their strictly specified blue (Pantone, RGB, CMYK etc.). You can't just change it to suit our jumper colour.

Training Ground?
You people living in the city don't know what a pothole is. 😄

"We aren't great at any phase of the game"
If they had a disposal accuracy stat (i.e. the kick or handball went straight to a team mate, maybe who was in space) it would be a more useful measure.
