Attempted joke.

Did we win yesterday - just checking?

Another reason we need to re-sign TMac ASAP: the Filth are probably lurking in the shadows, ready to throw five years and a complimentary cheeseboard at him the moment we blink.

What game did you watch today? Played his best game in recent memory and probably in our best 10 on the ground.

Some of the best footballers I've seen were supposedly "slowish". Williams (Greg), Robert Harvey, Paul Kelly.

Max Center clearances were embarrassing. Gawn did the same thing every time and we had no answer, such dumb football and bad coaching. I feel like Goodwin came in with a plan to take our game way and JL had no answers. Disappointing loss. We looked quite fatigued and Melbourne cracked in and attacked. couldn’t spread with them. Gawn the difference in the end; we have a big list problem with no viable second ruck after Jackson. Mcdonald did his best but not his role. I didn't expect Darcy to beat Gawn by any means but I did expect him to put up more of a fight than that, he was good last week, but Gawn is just an elite player in every metric, wasn't going to be a good day for Darcy. Gawn may be the ruckman of this generation but honestly what we're paying Darcy. Gawn shouldn't be giving him a bath like that. Tigers will beat Melbourne next week. Something putrid like 73-59. Melbourne gambled by running forwards at every opportunity. There’s literally one bloke to blame and that’s Darcy. Provided absolutely nothing. You could blame our entire midfield, but Gawn put it on a platter. There were 3 players who could potentially win the game fro Melbourne - Pickett, Gawn and Petracca. If there was a plan in place to nullify them it wasn't clear. Meanwhile our best player was tagged out of effectiveness. Our Coach is looking more and more like Alfred E. Nueman every day. Gawn says out midfield best in comp ; proceeds to get clowned. I have never seen anyone get as comprehensively dominated on a football field like Darcy was against Gawn. Everything else We're a conditional footy club, it's a simple as that. We choose when we want to turn up and play. To lose to a team who's lost most of the quality in their forward and defensive lines is a disgrace. Melbourne won because they brought the effort. If we're a serious footy club, we should be beating this Melbourne side comfortably. But [censored] and unimaginative coaching costs us again. Melbournes one weapon was gonna be their centre bounce so it’s nice knowing we did absolute **** all to try and combat it Peak Dockery. Scored against so easily by a team that hasn't been able to score all year Crows and Saints away are tougher games on paper. Could easily be season done the next 2 weeks. Most disappointed I didn’t plonk money on Demons when they were $3.90 Conceding 16 goals to a side that's been averaging <70 scores for the last 5 weeks (and a decent chunk of last season) is peak Freo Everyone came in thinking Goodwin would be sacked after this game, but it was JL that should probably get sacked. Defence and centre bounce has been an issue all year. Melbourne walked it out the front of stoppage, and they did that to us in the pre-season. We are way too aggressive at centre bounce where it is almost disrespects the opposition Triple M said in their call: in Fremantle's entire existence, we've never won a game after trailing by 18 points or more at 3 Quarter time. Isaac Smith said that was proof there is an ingained culture problem at the club. I'm inclined to agree after witnessing that zero effort performance. Our performances are way too erratic to be finals worthy. We let Harrison Petty kick four goals ffs That makes us 1-1-9 in the last 11 close games under Longmuir It's good the AFL if Melbourne aren't 0-6 Realistically we haven’t beaten anyone. Dogs - numerous outs. Good win, but at home with those outs and really we only won 10 mins of that game. Eagles - genuinely were horrendous against us. That is a 60+ point win to other teams when Eagles play like they did. Tigers - ran out of steam and jumped us. Only led by 10 at halftime v one of the worst sides assembled. Geelong the only good team we’ve played and they destroyed us. Swans - huge injuries and crawled over the line. Demons - horrid line up and they fisted us. It makes for genuine horror start considering we’ve been gifted an easy start. To think both Lever and May were out for the demons. Melbourne's selections reminded me of early-2017/18 when Ross made like 6-7 changes in a couple of games and we snaffled the odd victory. I expect the Dees to return back to hot garbage soon. Demons kicking out of the backline carved us up (on the odd occasion they didn't win the centre clearances) Man… I really want Pickett. Forget premierships, he’s just exciting to watch. If that was an audition he passed in every sen

Back in the ol’ days, I notched up three in a row at Hawthorn—those were the glory dayz.

I’m not usually one to go early on my calls, but after today’s win—our first for the season—it’s clear we’ve made some serious learnings. A few things stood out: Max has a future with the Nationals—no one goes to the right more reliably. Goody’s contract should be extended to 2029—first item on the new CEO’s to-do list. Lever’s calling is clear—full-time interchange steward. Give him the hi-vis and headset now. Trac is the future head of the Victorian Retail Butchers Association—his slicing and dicing today was top shelf. Goody has implemented so many learnings—at this rate, by Round 10 we’ll have enough to open a TAFE campus. The umpires continue to innovate—consistently confusing, admirably chaotic, and never guessing the same way twice. True artisans of the grey area. And finally—can someone check the Tullamarine arrivals lounge? Pretty sure the Shockers might be smuggling Kosi back West when no one was looking.

You are a deadset, fair dinkum, ridgy didge, true blue (and red) inspiration Ghosty.

Next CEO of Melbourne right here.

Who are we playing today - anyone know?

Not a bad start. What's morning tea looking like @Ghostwriter ?

We are now last on the live ladder.

Best recent decision by the Pies was to trade out Jack 'my shorts are too big because I've got a little *&(#@) Ginnivan. They woke up to the nightmare before most footy followers. Wouldn't mind betting Sidey and Pendles had their fingerprints all of that.

That's actually his problem.

Don't get me started on bum-slapping framed as innocent team bonding when it's ultimately about unconsciously upholding norms that marginalise emotional diversity and reinforce homophobic boundaries under the guise of unity. 🤣

Good get @whatwhat say what . We also had the BIG Moore, the BIG Carl, the BIG Baker, the BIG Crackers, the BIG Strawb. Rich heritage.

I'm going to run out of hats this trade season.

He certainly does. Three years with us have assured that.

And any league that doesn't have two OMacs running around in then CAN'T BE SERIOUS.

If Cream is the answer, I can’t even begin to imagine the question.

Turn it up @Anti-Saint . Can you just remind me again. When did Friter last chase down an oppo player and win a free kick? And I do not understand what you’re saying about JVR. Not joking @DiscoStu17 . And please don’t call me Shirley.

Turn it up @Anti-Saint . Can you just remind me again. When did Friter last chase down an oppo player and win a free kick? And I do not understand what you’re saying about JVR.
