Very Jaded

Viney (here for 5 years), Oliver, Trac and Brayshaw. As it is we can’t give Harmes any midfield time and Brayshaw is also struggling. Treloar while a great player, is a very expensive investment in the type of player we definitely aren’t short of.

Doubt Brown would go from our circus in North to another one in Essendon. Two sinking ship.

It’s not a delay. It’s a cautious pause. It’s all the rage in Victoria.

Great thanks for the update. Fingers crossed we can get Oliver re-signed ASAP. I would have zero issues with giving him a long term contract if we were happy to give Viney one, given his age and relatively good history of injuries.

He is far too expensive to come to Melbourne and compete with 4 other serious quality inside mids. Not happening.

The fact his own club hasn’t bothered to make a phone call until now, says to me they don’t really want him there.

Yeah. Same time he told me Covid is going to go away. Only 81,000 new infections today. So close to flattening that curve.

Trump told me one is only weeks away.

I know. Need to draft this guy to run the place

Hated Frawley and hate Howe once they left. We don’t speak of Scully. Scum of the earth and his career went the way it deserved.

Hated Melksham. Tried very hard to like him. Still struggling. His [censored] form hasn’t helped.

The most useless organization in Australia funded by tax payers is Aus Post. They make millions while I wait 9 weeks to get a parcel from QLD. Useless.

Dangerfield retiring a loser couldn’t happen to a smarmier guy.

Watching old squinty eyes lose is just the highlight of this season.

He was in the fetal position just counting down until the game ended. It’s been one disaster after the other.

Don’t count on it. They’re still working out how to contact trace. 12-14 more years should do it.

Good riddance Geelong. Respect to Richmond. Martin is a serious freak.

All I can say is, if Melbourne was involved in this game I would be dead from multiple heart attacks by now.

He may be a great player, but my god he’s an insufferable [censored].

For 3000 years I’ve watched the same irritating faces play for Geelong. How can this retirement village still be going?

Oh without a doubt you need to pick your battles. Daniher was an idiotic move. He was always leaving. Now their bargaining chips are nothing. If Oliver said “guys I hate this place I’m leaving now or next year, make a decision” I would of course trade him while under contract and get max value. But if your best players are even a 2% chance of being swayed and are still giving you their best on the field, you gotta back yourself.

That even West Coast, a club with a rich history of making champions out of troubled blokes don’t want him, says a lot.

Probably knows Essendon won’t let him go while under contract. And fair enough, I would do the same if Oliver or Trac wanted out. You take your chances on your best players and hope to turn them around.

Eventually it’ll happen. They can only replace so many stars. Cameron will help ease the blow but when the best players in your side are all over 30, and there is a lot of them, eventually you’ll drop off. You can bring in one maybe two quality players a year, you can’t bring enough to replace half the side. Also Geelong is a literal dump. I have no idea why anyone would be attracted to the lifestyle down there unless they surf or have a job at Cotton On.
