    And what would you tell a press conference if you were the coach?

    That the team were so bad you wanted to vomit?

    Boy, that’s going to make them want to improve next game, isn’t it?

    Nothing wrong with the truth.
    Doesn't have to name names.

    If I was a draft prospect the only way I'd want to play for us was if I was a Melbourne supporter as a kid, had no other options, or if it looked likely I'd be heading to GWS, GC to play in even emptier stadiums.
    Norf and the Aints would be low on my list also.
    Have no idea if White was or wasn't a Melbourne supporter, how invested he was or what his options are.
    I don't even know if he's any good.
    Is he the next Sam Darcy?

    Same here, as much as I enjoy seeing Carlton failing I loved him as a player, it’s a shame to see his coaching tenure go this way.

    He needs a Michael Voss in the midfield.
    A Simon Black, NIgel Lappin, and Jonathon Brown would also help.
    Prolly an Aker too.

    No. You need to wake up Bing

    In 2022 the MFC had 70,000 Members

    That is the measuring stick we must work from

    Goodwin has bored 'em all to tears since.

    Report back on the Stevie J scuttlebutt.

    Yarra supporter reaction -
    The look on his face while I was telling him about what was posted "🤔"
    And his answer, "Nah .... Never heard none of that."

    It’s amazing how top clubs seem to find forward s Logan Morris 20y pick 31

    That's when recruiters really earn their coin.
    Not so tough to find players in the top 10.

    I want Jeffo to be a clone of Logan Morris.

    I'd like our midfield to be a clone of Brisbanes.
    They move with speed, are clean and kick with precision.
    The anti Melbourne.

    Geelong are a very strong club off field and I rate Scott as the best coach going around but he had many detractors for years saying he inherited a Premiership team but couldn’t get it done on his own.

    Also helps if you can flip farms to attract top line free agents every few years.
    I'm sure we'd look a different outfit with Dangerfield, Cameron and now Smith running around.
    Not a bad lifestyle over that side of the bay playing on a home ground paid for by taxpayers.

    I work with a bloke whos son plays for Yarra, gets to most home games and had abit to do with Johnson while at the club.
    He's never had a bad word but I'll ask about this scuttlebutt when I see him monday.

    Left field but get Stevie Johnson down in some capacity.
    Let's start with forward line coach.
    Coached Yarrawonga to a flag in 2023.
    Lost GF by 3pts in '24.

    Currently has his team sitting 2nd in the Geelong league.
    Listening on the radio seems a very astute footy analyst.

    I'm going to sit down and watch the '21 Grand Final.

    Skip the 2nd qtr and early part of the 3rd.
    Just as frustrating.

    We were ever so close to Melbourning that game as well.
    I was slipping down a dark tunnel that night lemme tell ya.
