Melbourne Supporters deserve better than what has been dished up since about Round 11 2022.

Can forgotten man Spargo come in and fill the role?

NEVER FORGET how awful their fans are. Long may they suffer.

Kate Hore is a superstar

How much do they cost?

All this is academic until October 7 to 16 2024 - Trade week. I'll be trying to ignore everything up until then. Meanwhile - happier times:

The one caveat on all of this is that it’s the finals bye two week period and the journos have nothing to do but whip up hysteria. They are doing at good job at whipping that’s for sure

In 2018, Fritsch was used off the half back line. Could we use him back there from time to time to get him more into the game, and utilize his better than average kicking skills? Does Spargo have a role next year in replacing ANB's ability as the defensive half forward? The skill difference on Friday night was palpably obvious, what on earth do we do about it?

Great podcast on him here :

Very good point

There are no big melbourne clubs in premiership contention, journos don’t have anything else to talk about so they just whip up stuff like this

Here's a positive thought - remember what happened the year after the last time we didn't make finals? 😁

I was there, but I can see why many weren’t. We were non competitive last week so I think many were scared off. Is the way we played today the only way we could have beaten port? I think to this that is the case. I’m all for contest and defence, but the wider problem is that it’s a bloody hard watch and we seem to make the same mistakes entering 50 over and over again. Surely it’s got to change.

Does the Burgess model work anymore? Crows haven't really improved, and our players look exhausted in the second half of each season 2022-24 following the Burgess model.

Good call - painfully obvious from the upper decks of Marvel that we couldn't cover the ground. Fitness, Fitness, Fitness
