Fork 'em

Let's not forget they tanked and hit the jackpot landing Hodge, Franklin, Roughead, Rioli and Lewis etc in a short time. Good recruiting maybe. Revolutionary tactics .... Not so sure. But I do know he hasn't got those fellas at North.

Was far more disappointed to lose Oliver. But I'm not around the club and he could've been a dead set menace for all know. And if Petracca could hit the side of a barn we would've won alot more close games than we did. Including finals. Also think the club fumbled these 2. We shouldn't lose club champs like that. Having said that I also think we're in a better position now for the future that they're gone. Got some new young blood flowing through.

Yeah maybe if we showed absolutely nothing as they did. Norf touched up GC last week pretty good didn't they. By rights they should be further along in development than us. Been picking up 1st rounders for years.

Just finished watching the game and liked what I saw. Very happy with the young fellas, Kentfield looks the part, Big Moose did some real nice work in the ruck, Latrelle reminds me of Bobby Hill. The Kozzie and Latrelle show will be something to behold. Looked slick outta the middle. Both Mihocek and Howes are bigger than I thought. Already I'm far more confident with the ball in Steeles hands than Petraccas. We're positioned nicely for the next few years IMO. This year we'll win some, we'll lose some but I'm not fussed. Got a fresh young side with a game plan that I'll enjoy watching develop (thanks Kingy). Get a few wins, abit of confidence, let the youthful enthusiasm kick in and we'll be fun to watch. If Kozzy can kick 5 every week and a good run with injuries we'll give the flag a shake. Onward and upward. Go the Demons 💪👹🔥

100% And considering I did a month in the Demonland clink for having the temerity of replying to one of the many orange man bad rants posted here. Not good to point out his opponent at the time had dementia and couldn't string a coherent sentence together apparently. "Political discussion will not be tolerated.", was the message I received. Have a month in the hole. Just look at the all the TDS in this thread alone yet if I replied you can bet your backside I'd be out. And old Binman up there thinks the Right controls the narrative. Trump lives rent free in Hardtacks head as every other post he gets a mention. Give me a break, the hypocrisy here is astounding 🙄

That's the spirit.

I wasn't surprised. I was surprised about the embarrassing garbage we served in the Prelim tho'. Disgraceful.

I'm just looking forward to watching something different. New coach, fresh looking team with a few good young fellas. Be good, see what they've got. Whatever happens, I reckon we're on the right track. Go the Demons.

Trump living rent free in your heads. Now that's funny 🤣🤣

Dora the explorer. Seems to have a few doubters. I aint one of them. Reckon he's gonna be a rippa. Life long Melbourne supporter too. Go the Demons.

Kozzies old man stand up comedy 🤣 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZT45Pl0nZA

I'm excited.

Norf cleaner.

I prefer to call it the "Haves" and "Have nots". The big clubs with their preferential treatment are the haves.

Sorry, primetime night games are where the eyeballs are and everything else flows from that. Sponsorship and advertising dollars while your team is front and center as often as they can be which keeps the membership and kids attention flowing. Sunday arvo graveyard shift are death. People have to open their eyes. This is the TIK TOK entertainment era. People can't their attention span for 45seconds without scrolling on. You reckon they're going to watch 2hrs of monotonous defensive footy on a sunday arvo. Forken .... NO.

Maybe cause Saturday evening is past your bedtime. If we want this club to survive into the future we need to be able keep the Mobs attention (especially kids). Play fast entertaining footy or die.

And a boring as Bat sheet game plan. We're in the entertainment business and need to play a brand people want to actually watch. Until we prove we can ..... Sunday arvo it is.

IF Oliver can help Hogan get a flag I'm all for it. Just as long as Hardwick doesn't get another one.

You wanna fill the MCG, get prime time games, sell memberships, attract sponsors and inspire kids to follow Melbourne and build the supporter base. You don't bore them to tears. You play fast exciting footy. We're in the entertainment business.

Ya know when the season starts and 2-3games in you realise all the pre-season talk of a new faster gamestyle has all been BS and you're just watching the same stale stuff that didn't work the year before .... Well it's not going to be like that this year. Yes there will be teething issues no doubt but at least we're trying to head forward. I'm excited to see something different to the boring gameplan Goodwins been dishing up. Hope King brings what he's been selling. Looking forward to it being far more entertaining. Cáuse we are in the entertainment business.
