Trac bombs it long, and they rebound a goal.

the youngsters + rivers/bowie are trying to show leadership out there. we have to play these kids together for a good while

those Dlanders who know about footy: Seriously… why this week?

What’s this all come from? Why this week? WTF!!

KT is a competitor. Up and about

that was a very good kick, Jack Viney!

petty injured

viney really not a good enough kick

so where has this been for the last 5 weeks? good to see, but hard to know what’s changed other than intent

langdon hits up a leading Petty. I repeat: leading…

Still on track love the optimism

what would it take to shut the fscking speakers up for 5 minutes. what AFL/MCC intern thinks an aussie rules crowd needs this US derived “activation” BS?

I'm watching GWS vs St Kilda. They play in a way we can only dream of at the moment (10 mins in the 3rd quarter last night... sure).

To quote the great man: "No, we don't need a premiership coach, but we need a very good coach" (PJ, prior to Roos being appointed)

This - 100% this. Imagine thinking you knew better than PJ! Unforgivable, and a damning indictment of the board.

Goodwin’s press conference had a different feel. Angry and under pressure. Admitting the players didn’t show enough fight. It sounded terminal.

Buckley on Melbourne's tactics - quite damning

I just received this in an email from the Club: "Early goals, effort and a third quarter fight, gave Dees fans something to hold on to as the team head [sic] into Gather Round hungry for the win" Please - spare me. Apart from the grammar ('team head'), it's delusional and borderline insulting.

The loss of Brayshaw was huge. I think he was the bloke who set the tone at the start of '21. People would say Lever had a great game (plenty of intercept marks), and then some teammate would bring him down by saying "but he doesn't play on anyone". Max said that was a reality check for them. I'll try and find the clip. Our onfield leaders aren't doing their job. Exhibit A - the loss to GWS in round 1 - not killing the game with less than 2 minutes to go - someone needed to get into AJ's head and tell him what to do (anything but a turnover).

Lewis on Melbourne: https://www.rsn.net.au/news/rsn-podcast/breakfast-with-harf/2025-03-31/jordan-lewis-says-the-demons-have-a-big-problem/685625 Damning.

Could someone please get Brown to the club. This is excellent, unemotional and maddening. and Buckley at the end gives a damning insight: - if you can't delivery the ball, why allow the oppo to have a plus one! How long have we seen Goodwin not man up on the oppo's extra behind the ball?
