JNM, did you mean "well, we'll wait to the end of the season and sort that all out" when asked if he was going to North?

Interesting - do you have the median loss for those years?

Bailey Laurie? Haven’t seen much from him

top floor is.

most of the bars are shut!

james reyne, the band, all good!

but excellent music at this early stage. divinyls, midnight oil, hoodoo gurus.

spoke to one of the attendants here. 20k is their expected. no one one other than yours truly in the top deck. not another soul! plenty of room for expression!

I wasn’t there and couldn’t watch it online. I wonder about the influence of Melksham on our forward line. I reckon he’ll be a very good coach one day. Maybe even is one already?

I noticed that after TMac kicked that ripper goal on the run, he sprinted off in celebration, and from what I could see on the Teev, didn’t acknowledge the pass from Tholstrup. Sure, I might be over-interpreting it, but I didn’t like it.

and who did Long coat hanger and hospitalise in the 2000 grand final. only Schwartz remonstrated.

the loss of burgess has had a seriously negative effect on our performance

Goodwin press conference: Inconsistency is the issue. Nothing to do with personnel. I reckon consistency is the new learnings. (Sure, never gives anything away at the press conference. I get that - but that loss (second shocker in 3 weeks) needed a bit more, I reckon)

WC very good MFC not very good Work to do by everyone coaches and players Nothing of value - but there never is in Goodwin's press conferences, and I can understand why. Incredibly frustrating, but why would he give anything to a pack of hyenas?

that’s how teams beat us pre Yze. now we beat ourselves

everyone knew how to beat the old melbourne- outside run and don’t commit too many to the contest. the new melbourne is harder to beat, so we helpfully do that ourselves with lousy score return on forward entries. When do we think about a change of forward coaching personnel. Everyone knows it’s a pattern. everyone knows that’ if it’s fixed, we win big. it’s been happening for years.

me too. humble pie for dinner

was tmac now judd mcv

i’m not sure it’s even a good short term idea. he’s getting killed

tmac in defence. not sure that’s a long term good idea.

probably the best backline in the league is getting chopped up by superb delivery and leasing patterns

salem on bont. really? we’re a mess at the moment.

and not a moment of quiet from the PA do we talk to our mates about the footy. Someone from the AFL has been on an all expenses paid tour of US basketball to study “activation”. Hate it

Roos harder at it too. with a loud supporter base here

He just wasn't asked the right questions. That's how adversarial hearings work. If your counsel doesn't know (or get) good advice, then the 'tribunal/court' only hears one side's expert
