Jaded No More

Has Kosi? It's easy to pick on clubs that have a good list and fail, like ours, that much is clear. What isn't clear is where is the media pile on on the Pies, from premiers to bottom 8, or Geelong last year, or this year for that matter for what happened to Stangle. Please imagine the headlines if it was Clarry instead. Why is it ok to cut the Pies slack because of their injuries, but ours are completely ignored? Can you imagine the outrage if Goodwin came out and said we got robbed by the umpires because the game wasn't played at the MCG? Like honestly, just imagine how he would get cut to shreds by the entire AFL journalist community. I understand why we are getting picked on, and that's fine, we have been a total disappointment this season. But we are not alone, so why are we copping more than most?

Oh good, another 30,000 pages coming up for @Demonland

I was saying that the implication that players didn’t know Trac was in Noosa until today is laughable. My dad who checks Instagram once a month when he accidentally clicks on the icon on his phone, knew that Trac was in Noosa. These journalists never should have dropped out of clown school.

So not a single Melbourne player has turned on their phones and checked social media in 8 weeks?

In the least surprising news of all time

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

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.

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

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.

I believe we will hear of his retirement very soon.

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.

The club is his family

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.

Tom Sparrow

Yes he has

[censored] off Tom Morris, we have WCW ❤️
