Jaded No More

Already reported by @Dannyz who has slightly more credits in the bank than Buckley, Morris and Cornes put together.

Not shown in this report is @WalkingCivilWar holding a gun behind Adrian’s back and whispering “you better say nice things about us”

He is actually in the top 0.1% because there is simply nobody better than him in the last decade, and arguably longer. If he gets his 7th AA jacket, which he should, that will just prove it.

I teared up watching the video of him speak to the players. When he said his mind was willing but his body wasn’t capable, I felt that deep in my soul.

My sources tell me he met with the playing group to hand back the coriander Kade Chandler gave him

Interesting because he was there for Ben Brown’s retirement announcement which I believe was today

Is Jay Clark also proposing Beau McCreery and pick 32 as the trade?

Only Melbourne supporters would argue that extending the contract of one of our greatest ever players and premiership captain, who also happens to be the best ruckman the game has probably ever seen, is not a good thing.

Absolutely beautiful man on and off the field. Thanks for helping us achieve the ultimate and thanks for always being a fantastic teammate and clubman. You can be incredibly proud of everything you’ve achieved in your career.

They wouldn’t even accept that for Josh, let alone Nick. Did you mean Nick?

I believe we will hear of his retirement very soon.

Because Tom Morris is waiting to write his tell all memoir: “Tom Morris- my life thru the bins of AFL players”

Hey @WalkingCivilWar was Nibbler there?

I think a grand final is slightly different to a dead rubber, but I do understand the sentiments. I am conflicted on this issue, and would be fine whichever way the club chooses to go.

Maybe because the club needs to know where it stands financially to be able to attract certain players or sign other extensions like Viney, McVee and May. The more you have planned out, the easier it is to shuffle things around to accommodate other deals. Gawn was never not going to get an extension if he wanted one, we all know this. So why not just get it done instead of wasting your time next year, when perhaps you'll have bigger fish to fry? And who is to say another club won't approach him, the way North approached Viney next year, which will drive up his price? Not saying he would ever leave, but it would give him bargaining power.

My best guess is that post leak, he was told to keep a low profile and not get on his phone. Makes a lot of sense.

It's the late third rounder added in for me

I literally cannot stop laughing at the thought that Melbourne would trade Christian Petracca for Beau McCreery and pocket change It sounds like an Adrian Dodoro offer

The club is his family

Thank you Craig McRae

Every Melbourne supporter

Melbourne fan threatens reporter for saying bad things about her club. Coriander was exchanged. Things got nasty. Tom Morris over and out.

The response from the club was on Saturday. That is the only response that actually means anything.

You are a national treasure. I will tune into channel 10 news for the first time in a decade to see Adrian quivering as he delivers the news that the MFC is the happiest place on earth.

It's been about 5 hours since I found out Trac was meeting with the players today, where are you Tom Morris? I expected a full rundown of the minutes of the meeting, accompanied by an interpretive dance by now.
