It's definitely 7:20pm start. Power vs Crows is 8:20pm start. Melbourne time.

WC or any club for that matter would be utterly insane to offer him that. Granted he is a star and will get better but that's a 24-25 year olds contract, at earliest. This contract whether at Melbourne or elsewhere is 2-3 years tops, in the 700k-750k range. Salary rates and ranges will change by 2025 at which point provided his performance has continued he can request 1 million a year.

Was a good game up to half time. Grind after that and GC never looked like winning.

Hunt........

Almost feel like we're being rest for next week. Big game. Friday night. Prime time. This whole game has been 2nd gear.

Typical Gold Coast game. Foxtel. 8pm. Saturday night. They get the nothing umps.

You just know Kozzie is going to win the car eventually.

When Hunt and ANB are overkicking every single kick forward how can you blame him.

Hunt is 2015 era Melbourne skills.

+ Pickett + Fritsch + Viney

If the centre bounce favours our side they rebounce it. Every time it's gone GC's way it's been play on.

Destroying my Supercoach score.

Would let Luke Jackson do all sorts of stuff to me.

Sparrow is a [censored] bull.

Hunt plays like an Essendon player.

Sydney has been getting solid crowds since the mid 90s. Lockett and Barassi set them up. It's no surprise that Gold Coast's membership and crowds became static as soon as Ablett left and they crashed again Brisbane, Sydney, GWS and GC simply can't afford to bottom out. Brisbane was on the brink a few years ago. Sydney has been very solid for going on almost 30 years since 1995. GC is going to be on life support until they win a flag. And you can bet the AFL will help them just as they did Brisbane.

A lot of people writing them off but they have talent and will trouble some sides. We *should* win easily but don't count on it. They're okay.

All of my friends are either Carlton or Collingwood. I'd say the ****talking between mates has been pretty steady vs past years but I'm not as prickish. But in talking with other supporters at work, my opinion definitely has more "weight" now. When I tell people I go for Melbourne it's normally met with a, "Ahhh ok" vs the old "LOL you go for Melbourne your opinion is worthless" that I used to get. I definitely enjoy getting stuck into Essendon supporters though. But there's more respect there now from Carlton and Collingwood supporters so I've toned it down a tad.

Oh no 20 minutes.

Jesus. Leaving the premier, in the home of footy, to go to WA, to play for Freo. [censored] Freo lmao. Talk about a career killing move. This whole "wants to return home" [censored] is soooo 90s/2000s. You're professionals ffs. But anyway, Dogga ain't leaving.

Maybe I am biased but both of these teams are average.

He was very good. Great vision and positioning. Not perfect and you could tell he lacks experience, saw Gawn direct him a few times, and go over to give him advice. But slotted in very well.

Little man syndrome. The Dogs have always had it. "Woe is me, we're from the West and we have it tough, we are fighting against the big end of town." It pops up every 10 years down there.

Bowey and Bedford been solid tonight.

he was pushed off the ball.
