I noticed the same thing - seems to have got a bit sharper in the last couple of weeks. Website and socials have been pretty average really since Gibbo left.

It’s a terrible deal for just Petracca, let alone weighing in with McVee: what is this - some sort of internal AFL whitewash to ensure the Gold Coast franchise get their man?! This will be picks 11 and 12 in a [censored] draft - these selections have little to no value, even as trade chips.

I would say he works 2 days: comes up one day and works, stays over, works next day, drives home.

Ha ha! Yes - and when the season starts again, our happiness each weekend will be determined by 22 wealthy young men, whom we don’t know, chasing a bag of wind around a field for 2 hours!

Did they say what time, Daz?

No, I think it’s sad that such a talent and once great player for our club is leaving in this manner - regardless of who’s right and wrong. I think it’s pretty evident from his reactions that he’s hurt and lashing out as a result. I’m not excusing it, I just think it’s a shame.

All pretty sad, really, the way this has ended. The pressure is really on Guerra and King now.

Schwab and Pert were footy industry people but Guerra has come in from the real world. I get the feeling that he doesn’t stand for any nonsense or boys’ club BS.

That was a joy to watch: relentless pressure, slick movement and a team playing for each other.

That was a hard watch - I must say, it takes some bollocks to front the media and answer questions about your sacking: I could never believe that when I first moved here, coming from British soccer, where they are just straight out the door. It sounds as if he was pretty blindsided by the decision, though - Greeny did as well as could be expected, in a role that he's obviously not super comfortable in. Let's hope it was the right decision: certainly, a lot of people have claimed it was needed - let's see.

but no mention of Paul Roos...

Apparently, they do have a coach appointed, but he can’t start until next May.

Wouldn’t surprise me after the 9 goal breeze at Marvel last Sunday.

This is the damning truth: How many of us were saying exactly the same thing? I'm a terrible watcher of footy on TV - at the ground is fine, for some reason - so I went to the supermarket at 3QT, because I just feared we'd blow it. (My Dees supporting kids think it's completely irrational, but I just cannot trust this side). Had a quick peek at the scores: still 40 points up; Few minutes later in the freezer aisle a text from my son: 'Same old Melbourne': 17 points up; walk back into the house after estimating time left: 6 points up; TV is now off in the house and kids refusing to look at the scores - I take a look: Scores level, time is up - fury ensues; One minute later: goal after the siren...you know the rest.

Hallelujah! Every week there is another effing learning to be had. How many more things do we have to ‘learn’ FFS?!!
