BLWNBA

Can't say I've noted anyone potting the Dees, but from memory the attendance was above what the MFC wanted (40,000 pax) and above what they MCC forecasted (30,000~ pax). But what's more befuddling is when grown adults sulk about what the sporting media says, it's hilarious. Who cares?

Goodwin continues to be the worst match day coach in the league. To say he’s even reactive is overselling it. He absolutely has to go. If people want to drink his bath water from ‘21; fine. But he had a Ferrari and he’s continued to treat it like a lawnmower. The selection committee isn’t far off either. There’s absolutely no transparency or authenticity of selection. To bring Spargo in after his off season was a joke, not to mention the decision to play Laurie, Chandler and Spargo in the one side.

Good on Straight Set Simon for continuing to try and disprove that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results.

Looking forward to reading what Simon’s cheer squad says tonight.

Put Laurie, Chandler and Spargo on a board and throw a dart.

Fantastic to see that true Melbourne football is on display tonight!

Yeah, alright George Dubya.

C’mon, please drop “supporters support”. It’ll complete bingo.

"Leave Melbourne alone".

Generally speaking, waivers relating to injury aren't typically enforceable (acknowledging a voluntary assumption of risk, the nature of the activity, unforeseen circumstances and the standard of negligence). The AFL may have requested a waiver, but that wouldn't necessarily stop or prevent a claim for compensation being successful.

Don't stress mate. Remember, Straight Set Simon and Pert have assured the footballing world that we have excellent culture.

Careful, you don't want to make the fanboys cry.

It's a fair summation, for sure. For mine the concern wasn't necessarily the fact we lost, but how we lost. Given most of the issues seen yesterday (i.e., the massive run on and unanswered goals) have been around for the past two seasons, I'm not sure it's as simple as saying we'll turn things around next week against Carlton.

One can dream.

Melbourne defender staring at three months on sidelines, star Demons & Tigers to miss scratch match “Daniel Turner will miss 10-12 weeks with a stress fracture in his leg.”

“Learnings”.

Just looking at that slide show is depressing. Truly, that side was one of the poorest squads ever assembled in the VFL/AFL.

i’mmmmmmm sowwi. R u Okay? Hehehe

Okay.

The same response I received from other posters when I said another straight set exit beckoned for this side halfway through this year.

Bizarre comment and highly ironic, but then again forums are always the best place to view the vagaries of human existence. Maybe learn to contextualise commentary before posting some inane and recalcitrant tripe. I never commented on Oliver, I spoke of the team. You quoted my words, so as I said, consider developing the ability to contextualise what they mean. But please, continue the brave straw man argument.

Here we go.

I would be very surprised if we’re anywhere near the pointy end and expect us to potentially slide out of the 8. We’ve been exposed the last two seasons and nothing has ultimately changed over the past three draft/trade/FA periods (I’m not expecting Windsor and/or Tholstrup to take us to the promised land in their first season; this isn’t a comment on their long-term prospects). An ageing list, coupled with off-field immaturity and a soft-underbelly that’s been present since post 2021. What’s not to like?
