Teague Sacked
If it's not Clarkson or Lyon, is it Buckley or Voss now? And funnily enough would Collingwood have preferred Lyon to Macrae had Ross not appeared to have been wedded to Carlton?

Training Day
West Perth. They share a theme song with us, our colours and are the oldest WAFL club. So likely HBF Arena.

Adam Cerra
It hasn't been reported anywhere that Cerra wants to come to us...

Andrew Gaff
And what about Gaff, mate? I'd still have him if he came cheaply.

Anyone know if there's anything of substance in this article? (I can't view it...) https://thewest.com.au/sport/afl-trades/afl-trades-2021-melbourne-demons-emerge-as-surprise-adam-cerra-suitor-c-3855377

Hats off to Kate Roffey
God bless? What is "woke" about Kate Roffey?

FINALS: Week 02 2021 (NON MFC)
They have for most of the year. If they get their midfield going, they waltz past Brisbane IMV. Unless Cameron, Daniher, Bailey and Zorko go mad, I can't see how Brisbane kick a winning score.

But is the big fish coming, GNF? Danger's over the line, right?

The Rebuild of Melbourne's List - Mongrel Punt Article
I disagree, I think it's a mixture of recruitment, development and culture. If you don't recruit those with the biggest drive and best habits (ie not Watts), you could have the best development and culture in the game, but it wouldn't necessarily lift an individual like that. I also think it's system too. Our coaching staff, in particularly Goodwin, has built such a solid system that the young guys merely need to play a role. They don't need to star. So when they're drafted, they benefit from the development coaches and pathways, and the culture that they're embedded within, but when they're finally ready, unlike previous years, they're not asked to star. They're asked to play a simple, clearly defined role.

Haha, yeah, I still remember that Port game in Round 1 of 2013 with Neeld. It was Jack's first game, we were pummelled of course and Jack allegedly went a few so called senior players at the time after the game. A very deflating day that.

You a CBRE man, DC?

Viney.

Yeah, the Wiz, Wizel, close enough.

He's working for CBRE, so he needs quick cash. None of this waiting around for 30 days to see if he got the job.

Great article mate. Thanks for sharing.

Farewell Josh Mahoney
Having a look at him as head of footy or as CEO? And I presume it's Carlton.

Sad, but I'll take any MFC flag I can get.

CHANGES: PF vs Geelong
Cameron regularly gets sucked out of position. As I think @Dannyz mentioned before the game, the match up was Smith v Cameron. Never listen to Channel 7 boundary riders unless they're Daisy Pearce. Abby Homles wouldn't know how to tie her own shoelace. Regularly gets injuries wrong and has no feel for the game at all.

POSTGAME: QF vs Brisbane
I also think our ground level vulnerabilities are overstated. We were excellent against Richmond and Sydney in greasy conditions when the ball hit the ground in defensive 50.

POSTGAME: QF vs Brisbane
8th time that Oliver has had more kicks than handballs for the season. That would have been unheard of in previous years. He's still played some A++ games this season with significantly slanted handball to kick ratios, but it's this balance he's got in his game now that has made him IMO and in the opinion of AFL.com, the best midfielder in the competition. For him, he played relatively low TOG of 84% too. On TOG, we had all our young guys (except Bowey) register sub 70% TOG. Incredible management in a final. Rivers, Pickett, Spargo, Sparrow and Jackson carefully managed. Also, interesting to note McDonald only played 74% TOG, quite a bit lower than Brown or Fritsch.

TMAC's game
His mobility at ground level appears to have returned to 2019 standards, but as a few posters have rightly pointed out, he still requires a good defender and did take Harris Andrews a number of times last night. He stays in for the rest of the year, but who knows what our forward set up looks like next year. This may well be Weideman's position to lose next year. And yes, Daz, Gunston would be nice additional insurance.
