So you haven’t heard one?

Can you PM me with the details of what Ross did?

Not enough.

No, he was advocating him from about October before he was drafted when everyone wanted Parish.

This is just absolute rot. Chris Fagan was continually asked about the disruption to the Lions losing McStay had. He said it did, they took a little while to adjust but he said it didn't cost them the game, we were just too good. And at the end he went out of his way to say what a good footy team we were. Compare that with Chris Scott's pratty presser last week where he thought Stanley beat Gawn and Geelong had the better of the game. Fagan is a terrific coach and person. Fagan wasn't making any excuses, just answering questions. Your comment is just off the mark, there wasn't an excuse to be had. And on that little twerp Mathieson. Not only should he be cited for charging Gawn he should go for wacking Pickett in the head. Nothing to commend with him, just an awful footballer and player.

And bullies.

In my view Maynard does not add value for money. Saying he is a replacement for Hibbo is misplaced, Hibbo isn't getting a game with both Hunt and Tomlinson out. I'm a believer that Tomlinson can fit with May, Lever and Petty. We clearly have a tight salary cap. We have Jackson, Pickett, Rivers, Sparrow, Jordon, Petty, Spargo and Bowey who were in our 23 on Saturday and are 22 or under. They will need TPP space and I don't think our oldies are on big coin. Maynard is not a priority I don't think.

You need to be careful. I'm fairly sure it was Olisik that was HUGE on Oliver right from the get go. He copped a lot of criticism with people wanting Parish. That said all I'm really saying is evaluate the idea, not who delivers it.

I love Joeboy's 3 word analysis, it's one of the first threads I read and rather than having a swipe at him I'm offering my opinion on his view. I don't agree on quite a lot of this comments but that's fine, it's an opinion business. But I think calling Tmac "embarrassing" is just unnecessary. Footy is a team game, some have leading roles, some don't. I wasn't embarrassed by Tmac's performance, I just thought he had an underwhelming night. I thought Viney was fantastic in his role all night, I thought ANB was involved for most of the night ( and was mentioned in Goody's presser). And on it goes. I read the review in the joy of the best win I've seen Melbourne involved in and to be making comments like "embarrassing" just seemed a very jaundice view.

Unbelievable summary Joeboy Find some joy.

You are such a bore with your political statements on a footy site.

There's a small thing called the salary cap. I wouldn't get your hopes up.

I'm not advocating we get him just pointing out that he's playing the game plan the coach wants. I don't think it's his fault, I think he's doing what he is being asked to do.

Be careful not to blame the player for the game plan. Do you really think Gaff is going against the coaches instructions?

14 goals.

Everyone.

Why isn't Adelaide being considered? If two Victorian clubs make the GF then it's much easier for Victorians to get to SA. As for the stadium I've been to both. Adelaide is, in my opinion, easily the best ground in Australia, I like it more than Optus, MCG and other grounds.

Bedford and Chandler in particular have had no chance to develop given the lack of VFL in the past couple of years. Having said that I agree that their positions on the list are questionable.

And Spargo and Sparrow are both 22 or under. We had 8 who were 22 or under on Monday.

Climbing to the summit - a flag!

What percentage of Australian's do you believe are racist and how do you think that percentage has changed over the last (say) 10 years? What role do you think the AFL has played in any change?

You said it was unfortunate. It wasn’t. It was fortunate.

Exactly the opposite. He got a great lesson that cost nothing. Getting a lesson when you win is the best lesson you can get I’m thrilled it happened.

Spargs a bit stiff.
