GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
We have absolutely dominated. Need to start converting.

Luke Jackson back to Victoria?
Anyone saying he isn't worth it are crazy. Freo are playing trash atm but they'd be worse without him

Luke Jackson back to Victoria?
No team has replicated that since. Probably ever.

Luke Jackson back to Victoria?
Jackson functioned as an attacking ruckman and tall midfielder, not a forward. Which evidently played a major role in the Grand Final. As with Boyd for the Dogs in 2016. You don't need your ruck to kick goals. That's what worked. I still think with time Grundy and Gawn could have worked and we'd have been better for it though.

NON-MFC: Round 08
So at a pub with Collingwood mates and mostly watched the Pies Cats game with our game on my phone. Wow what a game at the G. pies almost stole it.

Melbourne Football Club - The CEO
In Pert's defense he said that after a flag and after multiple top 4 finishes. And it was purely subjective. He may well have been telling the truth. Or what he genuinely thought to be the truth. Especially given the revelations about Collingwood's culture at the time they won the flag in 2010. In his perspective it was the best. And there is no true measure of "culture" outside of engagement surveys, performance, and retention.

Melbourne Football Club - The CEO
A good CEO is well media trained. You don't know what you don't know. Honesty is best at that level and you don't have room to spin. You're told what your told.

PREGAME: Rd 08 vs West Coast
West Coast is an absolute shambles. One good quarter should be enough. Comparing the stats of the two teams on the AFL app and their team stats are very poor. We should be aiming for at least a 7 goal win.

Melbourne Football Club - The CEO
I mean he's the CEO of the Chamber of COMMERCE. Of course he's going to campaign to get people back into the Melbourne Central BUSINESS District. And given recent revelations, his "yapping" about lockdowns are somewhat vindicated. They were completely overblown and unnecessary.

PREGAME: Rd 08 vs West Coast
When Max is having a strong defensive game we tend to win. Would love to see some stats that back that up as it's purely anecdotal. But Max's presence is and always has been as a nullifying defensive ruckman whose clearance work at stoppages can prove effective at halting opposition momentum. In games where he is purely a tap ruckman without much impact elsewhere, we effectively lose a defender.

NON-MFC: Round 07
He's a good player but I dislike Curnow. He's got peak "Carlton wannabe" vibes about him.

GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond
Happy for Richmond to kick one more goal and for that goal to come from Rioli for reasons I won't disclose.

GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond
Not sure Tigers have the poise to score from a centre clearance and we are doing okay from stoppages. The winner off this game will come from goals kicked from stoppages along the 50 meter arc. Almost all goals so far have come from set shots. I suspect it'll open up a bit in the second half with more scoring. My concern is that Richmond look super quick on the turnover.

GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond
Was about to say I think Spargo is playing well lol
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond
Honestly I think we are giving them too much respect. We hold the ball hoping to find a clear entry and by the time we go forward it's clogged. It's a tale as old as time.

GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond
Richmond undoubtedly playing better than us. Absorbed a lot of pressure early. They look better on transition.

What they're saying down at Punt Road
Collingwood supporters are worse because they have an airy confidence and it's hard to talk back to them. Richmond supporters though are generally a few more notches down the IQ radar. They made the Prelim in 95. I was there that day at Waverly. Miserable day. Geelong pumped them. But Richmond supporters were singing the song in the final minutes because they'd had such a great year. It gave me goosebumps. Funnily enough one of the most vivid football memories I have. Tigers supporters outnumbered Cats about 10 to 1 that day.

POSTGAME: Rd 06 vs Fremantle
We were loud today. I was proud. But we need more.

POSTGAME: Rd 06 vs Fremantle
Honestly we never really looked like losing. Gawn just had that aura about him defensively that tends to mean we win.

GAMEDAY: Rd 06 vs Fremantle
Oliver and Petracca have let us down today.

GAMEDAY: Rd 06 vs Fremantle
We are choking a touch here

GAMEDAY: Rd 06 vs Fremantle
Add Oliver to that list.

GAMEDAY: Rd 06 vs Fremantle
Man Salem and Spargo have been huge liabilities.

GAMEDAY: Rd 06 vs Fremantle
Well that was silly.
