Jeepers. I'd be forgetting Salo 🤦 We have depth this year. 🙌

I'd go with May, Lever, Petty, Windsor, McVee, Bowey and Lindsay in defence. Opponent depending, Howes has the ability to replace Bowey or Lindsay. TMac will start alongside May and Petty I'd say, if Lever isn't up for it.

What I found odd is this was recorded in at least 2022, meaning so were the rest of the episodes. Why have these episodes sat dormant until 2025?

I really rate Chaplin as a coach and I reckon we're gonna explode next year as an offensive force. It'll be interesting to see if we get the balance between attack and defence right.

My team has changed and plans for Petty too. Love that Petty is training again with backs, but will likely swing.

I wouldn't be surprised if he'll prefer to play midfield. Ironically, even though it's more contested, you're less likely to get a defender jumping up into your back or crushing their knee into your head/neck.

Great interview. I find it pretty difficult to reconcile his (and Ridley's) views on the merger. Instead of building our own team better, the thinking was let's just take over Hawthorn. Lazy and extremely misguided IMV, but appreciate his great contribution to the club over many years. I remember vividly the NO MERGER signs in the MCC growing up.

I'd never wear a Hawks or Eagles jumper. Some things just aren't worth it.

Fritsch is a deadly snap on his right foot. Always easier to kick them around the body though.

Ethan's been using chatgpt 😉

On the safer side, yes.

I see Fritta's position coming under threat if Melksham is banging down the door and McAdam gets on the park and plays with intensity that Fritta sometimes lacks.

Tis, although I'd be setting the shot up not in front of a reflective surface. Small point though.

The Legacy Series | Episode 1 | Robert Flower This is bloody brilliant. Well done MFC. Being born in 1987 I was probably at a game as a baby in his final year, but whenever older Melbourne supporters talk about great Melbourne players, it's always Barrass and Robbie. I've always admired Robbie more for his loyalty. 59 is way too young. 😪

I'm not sure it's as clear cut as this. Fritta doesn't really bring much of any of those traits, but he is an instinctive goal scorer, and that's often all that matters. Sure, he can tackle at ground level, but he's often the cherry on top with others around him like Kozzy, Chandler and even JVR doing the brunt of that work. I'm not sold on Jefferson as he doesn't seem as instinctive as Fritta around goal, so he's going to have to, as you say, bring the intensity at most contests.
