This was my initial reaction too. Without knowing what the specifics of the discussion were (I can take a guess) or how it was framed, on the surface of it it looks like the club was trying to get on the front foot to address the issue with May.

I was so disappointed Collingwood didn't go down the Ross Lyon path at the same time, would've been great to see them both stuff up so comprehensively. Unfortunately Collingwood made the right call with McRae.

Agreed, it's quite bizarre.

Petracca's been pretty good this year.

Obviously Gawny doesn't know what he's talking about because Clarry and OMac were definitely there 🤣

You put more weight in comments made on this thread (second hand information mind you) than I do.

The AFL is a joke, what do you expect. They would have to be one of not the most corrupt sports organisations in the world alongside FIFA and the IOC.

Or, and stay with me here, she's just reporting the facts of the matter. How does this reflect poorly on Melbourne in anyway, it reflects poorly on Oliver.

First Crack and On The Couch the only ones worth watching. 360 is good for the meltdowns when teams like Carlton, Essendon etc fail and for the wrap up of the Demons when we win. Everything else is garbage. Oh and the kids love The Bounce.

A great win out west with a bit of heat in the game. West Coast have been a modern rival of ours basically since their inception. Back to back wins over the Hawks after the heartbreak of 1987 and the humiliation of 1988 knocked them out of the finals and ensured they would not make the Grand Final for the first time since 1982! One of the all time great teams who would rebound to win the flag in 1991 despite being dubbed "Too old, too slow".

Reminds me of the last ever game at Princes Park. We won and after the game they played the Blues song! My brother and I were having none of that,we belted out It's A Grand Old Flag while leaving our seats and down the aisle of Jack Elliot's Legends Stand.

Matt Jones, Dean Terlich & Corey Maynard?

Mate, you do not owe anything to anyone (except your family and friends) and certainly not an explanation to some randoms on a website about why you decided to go home to be with your pregnant wife. Congrats by the way, such an exciting time

It's why I wasn't as down on JVRs game yesterday as some. Yes he had little impact (although we kicked a few in a row when he went into the ruck in the 3rd) but it's hard as a forward when the ball is being kicked on top of your head. You have to sit there waiting for it while the defender just jumps over the top for the spoil/mark. Space is a forwards best friend.

Didn't see that but I did see Harmesy on the ground after the game while Gawn and TMac were getting chaired off.

Most fun I've had at the footy since the 2018 finals I reckon. Just watched the last quarter again and still buzzing.

And Sparrow

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 GAWNY!!!! GAWNY!!!! GAWNY!!!!

It's bizarre isn't it

You don't rest 24yo players after 2 games.

A famous comeback win at Windy Hill This one is a single camera feed with crowd audio only so it feels like you're at the G in 1990 sitting in the members! Unfortunately the copy I have freezes just before 3/4 time so missing the final quarter but some great footage and especially rare and always good to have some old Roy Boys tape.

😂 I probably should rephrase that as "I hate it when podcasts wrap up in 25 minutes" because I want more! I don't hate the podcasts themselves and I don't think you're in any danger of going sub-25.

The length of the podcast is never an issue for me - I just play it in chunks and/or at 1.3x speed. I listen to some podcasts that go for hours so this one is tame by comparison. It's the beauty of the format, no time constraints so you can actually delve into things instead of just surface level analysis. I hate podcasts that wrap up after 25 minutes.
