2022 Injury List
Listen to Salem's press conference (not v interesting) but he actually mishears the question. Salem says he doesn't know whether Oliver will miss or not - the journo then asks if he's saying there's a chance Oliver will play. I can't remember the exact wording, but Salem thought he said, who could come in for Oliver, to which Salem replies that there are several midfielders ready like Dunstan, Melksham... Nek minnit, Dunstan's a shoo-in!

My main issue with all of this - and also the Gus contract to a lesser extent - is that it starts to become a distraction that gets louder, questions at every presser etc. I know the official line is that the noise doesn’t bother the club, but ultimately it will. It’s an annoyance that we could probably do without.

We would want a pick(s) to compensate: The Pick 3 we paid + the return on investment + Premiership Player + Rising Star + The huge inconvenience to our planning/system. Whoever we deal with needs to be ready to put forward a realistic package.

Farewell Luke Jackson
It’s carried on for too long to be good news, I would suggest. As you say, it has only served as a huge distraction, which is affecting only our club negatively. If he doesn’t sign, this will end up dominating the rest of the year.

WELCOME TO DEMONLAND: DANIEL TURNER
Young Discotheque is obviously a popular figure amongst the boys, judging by the love he’s getting on the socials.

A Helping Hand Up
I saw this action by Clarrie and I thought it was fantastic. I love this breed of young man that is coming through the Melbourne footy club under Simon Goodwin. Tough competitors, elite aspirations, enjoy each other’s company and a laugh, have love and respect for each other, humble in victory and gallant in defeat. The self confidence and camaraderie amongst this group, together with a mindful attitude, sets us apart from the rest. I think, on so many levels on and off the pitch, we are leading the way in the competition. A year or two ago, in one of Goody’s pressers, a journalist brought up a quote from some meat head ex player (it might even have been Leigh Matthews) that Melbourne players were ‘too gentlemanly”. Goodwin replied something along the lines of “There’s nothing wrong with being a gentleman: but you can be a gentleman and a killer - look at James Bond!”

Thanks for sharing the intel - I have no inside mail, but I think he’ll stay - the articles now are much more speculative in their language. Hopefully, we’ll get an announcement soon.

What They Are Saying at Moorabool Street
The same as Taylor Walker slammed Jake Lever for choosing money over success.

POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Adelaide
Also, every team is going to go their hardest against us - full concentration, no complacency.

POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Adelaide
And that stat was also never shown on the coverage. I find it easier (less stressful) to watch the games on TV with the sound off - but those commentators were desperately barracking for Adelaide.

POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Adelaide
Brilliant win - lack of accuracy stopped it bring an 8 or 9 goal win. Just want to shine a light on Sam Weideman - what an effort today. Abysmal umpiring

So the slight PCL strain is just a cunning ruse!

Farewell Luke Jackson
Totally agree - go out and see the world young man! Seriously - he’s in the same country and a flight away.

Hutchy urging West Coast to be bold…for another cheap headline. That bloke really has no moral compass.

Majak Daw Retires
I hope he’s okay. The great thing about recruiting guys like him, Dunstan, Mitch Brown etc, means that our draft recruits jump into a Casey team loaded with experience and can build up their experience playing around quality, just as those who break into the first team are able to learn shoulder to shoulder with the best. Good luck Majak - your time with the Demons has been invaluable for those young hopefuls.

Carlton is the club that I can’t work out…several top 10 picks plus the likes of Martin, Saad, Cerra and Hewitt on presumably big coin…

NON-MFC: Round 15, 2022
Problem with all this loading business that @binman has brought into the zeitgeist, is that I can’t tell who is genuinely loading and who is, in fact, just [censored].

POSTGAME: Rd 15 vs Brisbane
Great summary - I don’t think we’ve played that way at all, this year. It’s so much fun to watch, when we bring the heat. Not only the forward pressure, but the calmness in getting the ball out of a crowded D50. Hibberd made a big difference tonight: I wonder if Charlie Cameron got a touch?! Edit: Cameron got 13 - I don’t recall seeing him all game!

POSTGAME: Rd 15 vs Brisbane
On this - when we are back playing our high pressure football, the intensity of the crowd is so much greater. Such an exciting team to watch.

Exactly. As if the Freo powerbrokers are going to let that slip to Peter Sumich 🤣

WEST COAST an ALLY for us?
Tanking to have a stab at LJ?
