You write in absolutes. I'll say this; an average forward line (and yes it is right now) can look a helluva lot better when we take the game on up field.

I thought we did. 
 

I can’t even have enough LSD to create a picture of how the game plan would in any way benefit the skills our forwards have - it’s being wasted. 
I cringe when we go inside 50, 40 or even 30. 
It’s just plain dysfunctional and very fugly. 
Got some work in front of ourselves.

Yawn. You do this all the time. How about you just stop bagging Melbourne players all the time?

Don’t expect a response any time soon Nashy. 
Called @dazzledavey36 out last week and have been ear-bashed by crickets since. 🤣

c’mon Dazz…. You know I’m not having a crack but rather curiosity about how you answer this. 
Viney should’ve been traded a few years ago though hey?

We are so lucky to have Jack Viney in this team. 
The bloke is a beast that scares the absolute s**t out of the opposition. 
❤️💙🥰

The Milkshake ❤️💙🤙

Far out Brussel sprout! ❤️💙💪

We just aren’t quite there this year. 
 

Fishing rods here I come. 

Omg umpires 

Far out. 
 

This is killing me.

Can confirm Mel and Steve have moved into the Perth home that Jackson recently purchased. Make of this what you will… 

I can also confirm that information as I was driving the furniture removal truck. 
 

I cannot disclose the contents of the truck because Luke made me sign an NDA. 

I know for a fact that WCE are heavily into Naughton to replace Kennedy. 

Just because ‘at this rate’ we won’t make top 4 doesn’t mean we still can’t win it.

Lots of work to do but I still reckon we’ve got the team to do it! 💪👍

Can we trade Mason Cox for Ben Brown?

Brown is in horrible touch

That was the most painful loss I can remember in a long time.

12 beers and a couple of spliffs helps mate. 

If we could fix our forward half game we’d be unstoppable!

Just so much wasted effort for such a poor return. 
 

Work it out Footy Department!!

Pathetic 

Jack Viney is a bull.

Was having this discussion with another Melbourne fan over the weekend over a few beers. 

We both agreed that we felt Viney was much better prepared and a bit more mature enough now in easily slotting back into the role.

I'd love to see him slip back into that co-captain role alongside Gawn going into next year.

Thoughts?

Mate, I have not read further past your OP. 
You have absolutely ****canned this bloke over the years but now this!

I’m having a bit of crack here bro because I’d like to read your reasoning for this considerable about-face.

Thanks for this. What did he say about the Fritsch incidents in particular?

BTW… $225 is a bargain!!

Confirmed that he was spoken to about not playing selfless team first footy. 
Did say that the last incident (think it was where he handballed to Spargo) and it didn’t result in a goal was in fact the correct thing to do which Bayley was praised for. 

So a quick round up of last Friday mornings Brekky. 
Jackson will go in my opinion. Goodwin stated “Fremantle will pay a lot for Jacko.” Wasn’t a definite he’s going but I can’t recall Goodwin saying ‘if’. 
spoke glowingly about the group when Karl Langdon who was MC asked about. 
Goodwin spoke about the conversations he has with certain players. The below is paraphrased but accurate. 
Petracca - he has a father son relationship with where CP needs varying levels of feedback at times to suit his personality. 
Gus needs cuddles. 
Viney just wants to be hit between the eyes with any feedback regardless of praise or criticism. 
Max - “you just can’t have a sensible conversation with Max”. 😂

His first slide of his 2021 pre season ppt presentation was “Grand Final Day, how are we going to play” 

He wouldn’t disclose what this years is but reading between the lines I think it aligns to the ‘dynasty’ chain of thought and what the team can sustain and achieve if they stay together.

Hes really happy with the development of the young blokes and mentioned that they could all play in the team atm if injuries dictated it. 
Bluntly admitted his relationship with Bartlett was poor. 
Addressed Fritsch over the last couple weeks incidents. 
Lots of other things reviewed that we’ve already seen in the media such as his own revival and his mentors etc that he connected with. 
But the thing that made me the most pleased was his utmost confidence that the team issues had been addressed and that we would see that tonight (Friday).

Also picked myself up a WEG framed premiership poster signed by Goody for $225 in the auction. 
 

Quite simply I think it’s time to blood JVR who has gathered some real consistency in the twos and might even provide more headaches than BBB given his ground level ability. 
ANB might need a spell as well so is it time to give Chin a full game?

in: JVR, Chandler/Laurie

Out: Weideman, ANB

Vineys spin out of a tackle at full pace on that far wing which led to a goal was just beautiful.

God he's great to watch at the moment.

I was at just below ground level which was a rather weird viewing point and the  first time I’ve been at that level - usually watching from above.
But watching at ground level and with the contest only 2 metres away, to hear not only Viney and Petracca and co’ in those whack and smack duels along with Jordan and many more 

Everyone was just cracking in hard and it was superb to watch and the different perspective was pretty neat for a change. 

Where are my Demonlanders at? I owe you some beers.  
    @Ethan Tremblay  @McStaff
 
Hey Andy @Demonland Shoulda told me you were in town. 
I was in a ground level suite just beside the Dee’s bench dining on beef cheeks, roasted pumpkin and puréed spuds whilst demolishing a good ~12 single fin stubbies. 
just got home and having dessert. 🍃 

❤️💙😂💪

Atmosphere is great here at Optus right now.

Just looked at the Radar and it appears to be clearing but no doubt soft underneath. Dees by 28 points.

Yeah it’s super blustery mate
