Give us some credit! (Media reaction merged thread)
Richmond did that last year. Our cover's blown.

Give us some credit! (Media reaction merged thread)
Just watched Talking Footy and Footy Classified. Be worried, they're all over us. The radars gone and now the targets on us. We're the team to beat for the flag apparently. Richmond got every-one by surprise last year. We're not gonna have that luxury. Plenty of time for opposition coaches to work on picking our game plan apart. Gonna find out how good we really are.

Jake Melksham - the AFL's one on one king!
Heard Melksham in a pre-game interview a couple weeks ago. Was asked how he went sparring Lever. Said the two players to really look out for at the club were Viney and Jetta. Both hit hard and I didn't catch who but one of them broke 2 of his ribs in the ring last year. I'll tip it was Viney.

Clarry "one of the best to emerge in last 20 years"
Nev Jetta can really motor when he needs to.

What the Fritsch
Just calling it like I see it. He's got some class. How much remains to be seen.

What they're saying . . .
Goedoos doing nicely for a 1st year player.

Is Daisy the best special comments person?
Yeah big fan here, her footballing ability, the way she presents herself and the way she represents our club. Reckon her special comments and game observations are as good as anyones.

What the Fritsch
And I'm spewing I sold him from my SC side 2 wks ago when he hit 300k. Typically his numbers have improved since. In the air reminds me of Robbie Flower.

Last 2 Minutes: 88 Elimination Final
Ah yes. Reliving past almost glories from 30yrs ago. The MFC way.

Confidence is the key: James Harmes
Which is exactly what we want and why we got rid of watts his face.

14 Quarters in a Row
And we've already got their scalp.

14 Quarters in a Row
Yep, just heard as much on the radio. Only beaten such and such. Thankfully they're all worth 4pts. Lets just keep raking 'em up.

Is Brayshaw more rounded than the Trac?
Wheras I'd take Brayshaw. Petracca might have the god given gifts. But he doesn't have the drive to make the most of those gifts. Reckon he'll be a frustration over his career. Great to see the tongue has stayed inside his mouth this season though.

Big Clubs Rule the AFL
if only we trained to block. Been a bugbear of mine for years. Dish off the handball, then block the chaser. Not that forking hard.

Neeld gone (from Essendon)
A conga line of arzoles.

Neeld gone (from Essendon)
At least Neeld had the balls to fail on his own terms. if you've been appointed head coach at an AFL club, you don't prepare the team how some other bugger (Neil Craig) tells you too. If ya gonna fork it up, fork it up your own way. You'll have less regrets.

The Jesse Incident
Yep, talked it up early last year that he liked us playing on the edge. Couple players stepped over in Oliver and Bugg and he hung them out to dry in front of the media. Should have circled the wagons and told the media parasites to nick off. Players like to know the coach has their backs and if he doesn't they're not gonna play as hard for him.

Is Brayshaw more rounded than the Trac?
The way he come out firing during his 1st season it was plain to see Brayshaw was going to be a gun. Hit a few road bumps over the next couple years mainly due to his raw courage and is now starting to find the rhythm again. Petracca just needs to improve the tank and find more ball.

Tim Watson anti Melbourne
Most commentators start cheering for the side getting done anyway. Makes for a far more entertaining telecast when it's close.
-
Dom Tyson
Both Jones and Tyson are habitual butchers but they're not alone. ANB and Stretch are also turnover merchants.
-
Tim Watson anti Melbourne
Also played his 1st AFL game as a 15yr old. So I'm tipping book learnin' wasn't a priority.
