Jaded No More

Oliver has NEVER said he was leaving, nor has the club since last year. Viney is about to sign an extension. Trac has his own issues, and the club has told you multiple times he is going nowhere. Just because fans are melting down over the fake news about our demise, doesn't mean Kosi is.

He looked terrible two weeks ago against Port kicking 4 goals and having 21 touches. I would trade for Beau McCreery

Congratulations to the AFL for joining the 21st century, 20 years too late.

Now I've heard it all. Trac was going to go to North?

That's a great book, and the TV series is also really good. Highly recommend.

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

It was for sure the wrong call, but wrong medical calls are made all the time, including in a hospital setting, which is precisely what happened to Trac. To presume a doctor on the field could make a diagnosis when a doctor in a hospital took 6 hours to do so, is a bit fanciful. I have no doubt that Trac was assessed and said he was ok to try and return to play. I didn’t see Goody drag his limp body to FF, did you?

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.

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?
