We all did🤭

My goodness me😰

Maybe a "consciously uncoupling" which may leave space for a renewed "coupling" when their new models are to be released.

The dribbling wouldn't have been a good look though!

I wouldn't be able to concentrate on the new game plan😋

WCW he is on the sponsorship list!!!!

Is that the younger brigade or all players. I thought the older players start training a week later.

Plum and mustard until 2025

Yes, stay in his ear a la Freo and Jacko then bring him home to the red and the blue.

At the end of last year at his exit meeting, he was told that he would be asked to play with more attack. So during the preseason he set about changing his body shape and as a consequence I think he had a brilliant year. At this year's exit meeting he got a 10/10 from all the coaches so he was happy with his season but not how it ended.

Not like you to "mince words" WCW😊

I'm going and the first question on everyone's lips will be "Where's Clarrie". A very big elephant in the room.

I think Jake was as surprised as all of us that he was given another contract last year. He was considering what his next cycle of life was going to be like and then contract talks happened. My belief was that he was a great option to have at Casey given his ability to pass on skills without being overbearing. I underestimated him. What he showed us as supporters was not only his tenacity to achieve and leadership skills but also his love for the Club. He is a great asset to have around the Club and is as upbeat about playing in the 2024 finals.

I hope they still invite him to the BNF for a farewell. Last year the sound of oooooze going round the building was massive. Bigger sound for Oooze than for Goody. Just saying.

I haven't posted anything about last night as I wanted to post something not based on emotion. I dont even remember seeing their winning goal as I had my head in my arms on the seat in front. It was so painful to watch the players after and the obvious anguish that they were going through. For someone to post that they were having a laugh losing two finals in a row. Their pain was so raw. If you go back through the season and look at the players we lost to injury (and concussion)and playing with a part time forward line how were we ever going to compete with full strength teams through the year, we were lucky to be fourth. This is not giving the players an out for what happened in the last 30 seconds, that was junior footy at its best but lets just acknowledge that its a hard enough game without constant injuries to players and outside players influencing outcomes. Last night I wouldn't have felt this way but I am grateful for reaching the finals. I wished it ended differently but I got to experience finals football. I know we will come back better next year and it will be heartbreaking to lose some of our favourite players but they will move on from it but not forget how they felt. I do have a new "media expert" to despise and that is Gerard Healey. I would love to know what the Club ever did to him as he described in the last two years that Melbourne have choked and he is not sure how we will ever get back from this. He obviously doesn't have any sources at the Club otherwise he would have known how many injuries at the Club we had going into the finals last year. My last point is how does the AFL appoint an ex Carlton player (#27) to officiate a final. Why do I even bother to question.

Oh well AFL got exactly what it wanted. Just think of the numbers they can roll out when it is a Collingwood /Carlton GF. Look how well we're doing. Wa...kers

Ask Gussie how tough it's been. Honestly being a former Club President you would expect a little bit more class than he showed last night. Then again "class" and Collingwood. Nah. (Although I don't think we can't talk about having past classy Presidents!!)

I bet that doesn't get mentioned again. Also I hope his Dad has a quiet word with him.

I don't want to talk about the footy last night but about the absolutley vile behaviour of the Collingwood supporters last night. We sat in N50 in the General Public about 5 rows from the back. There were a seething group of Collingwood supporters about 5 deep behind the rail. In front of them was a young Demon supporting family (Dad and three young kids). What those ferals subjected them to was disgusting. The police directed by the poor MCC attendant attempted to say something but it continued. At half time the Dad stood up and said something back and thankfully it didn't escalate from there when the police walked over again. The poor man could not move anywhere as there no seats to move to. At the end of the game with about a minute left two Collingwood supporters stood up in front of us so we couldn't see. I just touched the man on his back and motioned him to sit down, we couldn't see. It was so loud I couldn't say anything. His retort back to me was " you've lost so what do you f.....n care" with a finger and continued to stand up. So the siren goes all the Melbourne supporters trudged out, I get to the top of the stairs and there is a woman (Collingwood supporter) with a beer can standing there pointing her fingers at this 14 year old who was on the verge of tears " did you hear what this f..n c said to me". He was part of the family that had felt the brunt of vile behaviour of the mob behind them. I grabbed him as he had become separated from his family and dragged him away. His Dad came up to me absolutely shaken. I have woken up this morning not thinking about the actual game but wondering if I have been sheltered sitting in the MCC area. I dont think so. I have never been subjected to or seen this kind of vile behaviour before but it makes me so happy that I am a Melbourne supporter. I know some on here will say that there are bad supporters in any team but this level was unbelievable. Thanks for listening🥲

Good, I hope he keeps dropping that shoulder, not getting a free and the toothless wonders going completely berserk. Anyway I'm feeling sick. I think I have to take the Demon Dog out for a walk to settle. (Me not him)

I read with interest in this morning's Age that Pendelbury was sprucing that the Collingwood unwashed faithful will make the MCG their Colosseum, presumably with the noise they make. We matched them on Kings Birthday for noise so lets make sure the boys hear us and make the MCG the Collywobbles "living hell".

And why did he leave MFC because he wanted to play forward..... that went well

Then your visitor will be sitting somewhere else. I agree there has to be a better way. I was in at 9.10 and got 1 seat Level 4. I needed two. Everything else was sold out.

Cookie, could you please share the link as I did not receive the email thanks

No they only get in on visitors tickets😁
