Surprising they haven't reported the following "Premiership full forward kicks 6 goals on weekend but prefers to give footy away than to play on with dismal demons"

hopefully not another

FWIW I have just emailed the following to the president, most likely it will have no impact but I felt I had to send it because i have had a gutful of this Hi Kate I have never written a letter to the football club before but felt compelled to due to the current noise and rumours surrounding the club and I believe it is time to request some sort of response from the president and not just be content with the well written but standard company line message from the CEO Gary Pert. I have been a supporter of the MFC for 56 years and a member since 2002 despite not living in Melbourne since 1992. I was like all of our long-suffering supporters delighted that were finally able to break the premiership drought in 2021 and been delighted with the club's progress over the last few years. It is expected that the that level of performance cannot continue for ever and eventually there had to be a decline in form but what we are currently experiencing as supporters should not have been expected. The perception of a club in decline both on and off the field with ongoing concerns regarding key players and continual concerns around culture is something supporters shouldn't been expecting so soon after reaching the pinnacle of success. The thought of our only ever Norm Smith Medalist wanting to leave the club and this being leaked to the media could be the final straw for many supporters and destroy the momentum the MFC was in becoming and remaining a respected club. Watching Simon Goodwin having to respond to all this noise during his pre-game press conference was unfair and he did a sterling job but really the club should be doing a hell of a lot more to defuse this noise and provide the supporter base with the confidence that the club is united and in control and strong enough to not only survive this current mess but to actually go on the offensive and show the world that the MFC isn't the meek victim it has shown itself to be for the majority of my life. I will continue to pay my family membership regardless but my fear is the next generation that we finally were getting on board will be lost forever.

This season gets worse and worse

If Houston has made his intentions clear that he wants out, this will become a distraction for Port Adelaide and they should 100% trade him and offer up their first pick to the MFC to get him off their books whilst continuing to pay a large portion of his salary.

don't worry we still have our usual barnstorming last quarter to come

On this point surely Kayo should have a setting that allows you to at least mute commentary from broadcasts while retaining the other sounds. In this digital age it shouldn't be difficult and would make watching matches so much more enjoyable.

Curtain Tholstrup

He wasn't aware that there is a draft next week

someone with some class

Hawthorn reserves player Brett Lovett played well for a few years at the Dees

You have to draw a line in the sand at some stage

Viewing that exchange I think Ralph was saying “concerns” just to wind up Gary Lyon.

No this was probably one of the few decisions they have gotten right this year. How McCartin got off last week was bewildering

Gil’s done it again

Not sure if this belongs here but it put a smile on my face

I remember thinking during the 'will Hogan go home' days that if he won us a flag I wouldn't care if he went back to Perth. The same really applies here to Jackson although it doesn't feel that way right now.

Disappointed and angry but realistically we didn’t tinker with our premiership formula which is understandable for 1 season but the game evolves and so must we next year. Although we were still likely to lose can someone explain exactly what Lever got penalised for that ruined the chance of a great finish? Typically just ignored by the AFL sycophantic commentators

as long as Goodwin ends up the AA coach I don't care about the captaincy

that press conference was embarrassing and highlighted how confused they are about everything

Current leadership structure seems to be working ok
