Jaded No More

Knowing how intelligent the sub humans who support the Pies are, I’m sure they’re all going back to their jail cells tonight to write “sack McRae” on the inmate intranet

It’ll never get less painful until, in 3 years time, I watch Steven May in his last game pre retirement, a grand final mind you, run from FB all the way to FF, to do an Entrecôte special on Maynard as the final siren blows and we walk away with a 100 point victory

Eat a bag of [censored] Pies

The last target Maynard hit was his opponent’s head … yes I broke my vow of never watching the Pies… I will watch them when they’re losing 👏🏼

He can’t string two words together let alone spell SORRY 🙄

Maynard must be sad he wasn’t involved in possibly ending someone else’s career 🙄

I vowed that I will never watch Collingwood play again except when we play them. They are dead to me. I wish them nothing but misery for the rest of eternity.

We have 2 games in 5 days coming up. In no world can Petty and Ben Brown play both those games. It makes sense to play Petty and sub him off for Ben Brown or vice versa. Also possible that JVR will do more rucking this week to help Gawn and keep him fresher and that means we can play both JVR and Ben Brown together.

Sleep easy

Surely not. I have a H&A membership and usually just turn up and sit to the right of our cheer squad. Never had an issue.

Melbourne have been in his ear for about 4 years now, and he's often in the rooms with Gawn. How could you pass up the chance to learn from one of the all time great ruckman and play at the MCG in front of a big crowd for the club your father played for... when the alternative is playing for the Gold Coast Suns Would be shocked if he picked the academy route over the F/S.

Kosi is definitely leaving Melbourne to go somewhere colder and further away from his family. I hear Trent is already packing his bags too 🙄

Petty?

This is an area that I think many supporters want to see improved, but few truly understand the value of. As someone who has been in product and brand management for almost two decades, the value of social media, communication and brand marketing in this day and age is enormous. Getting this area right will go a long way to sustained membership numbers and engagement in our club, especially for our younger demographic which IMO is poorly represented amongst our supporter base thanks to decades of poor on field performance. I look forward to seeing this area of our club improve not just our brand, but also the bottom line.

It’s also his birthday today! 🥺 Fingers crossed it’s not the worst news.

These Dogs have short memories. They obviously forgot what happened the last time they messed with Gawn

It would clash with our navy jumper at night. Would need either a red on green variation or a light green variation.

It will never happen because the AFLPA would argue it will increase injuries and decrease list sizes. And they’re right.

How privileged we are to have 4 bonafide stars play for our club. Clarry, Trac, Gawn and May are in the top 1% of the league in their respective position. Pretty amazing, when you think back a decade ago when we would argue about our lack of A graders with only Jones getting close.

PSA for commentators His name is KADE Chandler not Kyle! Likewise Jared Rivers hasn’t played for Melbourne in 10 years. Trent on the other hand…

Yeah I’m really confused what their defense will be? Even tho no damage was caused, we know that potential to cause injury is a suspendable offense, and if flipping an opponent over and kicking them (when the ball isn’t even in play!) isn’t potentially risky, I’m Batman.

We broke the Dogs. Haven’t been the same since that grand final humiliation in 2021. Bevo lost the absolute plot too after that one.

I agree. I think Petty and BBB should play one game each in SA. Petty against Port, to give Ben Brown a break after 2 games, and then possibly Ben Brown to replace Petty against Adelaide if he needs extra time for his foot to recover. Then we will have to backup against Brisbane which will be tough, before a bye.

Have you seen the amount of cramping and injuries in the first two rounds? It’s far too hot to play games in early March. Especially in the northern states. The season is so long already and we are asking so much more from players. A practice game is just that, you get extra rotations and players on the bench and you can pick and choose who to play and for how long. Completely different to a proper season match. If they keep extending the season they need to also increase the bench to 5+ sub and increase rotations and probably add in a second bye. Otherwise players will break down more frequently, and nobody wants that.
