Return to Glory

■■■■ club. ■■■■ list. Senior players with lack of skill and composure. Mental minnows. And we come back for more every year. It’s like it’s scripted. I can’t believe people defense this rabble and particularly the list manager. He should be nowhere near the place. The only Dodo that continues to survive the extinction he deserves.

Might grab me some Dustin Fletcher Hangar action

Funny you should say that BBP. I’ve also wondered if Reid could be one of the great unfulfilled talents. Not sure why.

Two things we need from Kozzie long term. 1. To get to 200 games 2. To have a very, very big family

I've been highly critical of Petty for a fair while. Isn't a ruckman but I do think people have been a little tough on him tonight.

There's a new energy within the club. Melbourne needed some renewal but I really didn't think our new lads could play at this level. Wrong. I do worry about a long season for young players. But, to be fair to Goody, he's held Disco, Koltyn and AMW back and it may work to our advantage now.

Consult your local wacky tobacky dealer ET. Say it's urgent.

Whatever happens (and I know a loss is the end of the world for some), we have found a few players who can carry us forward. I.e. I would never have picked Trent to be so impactful in the middle. I'm sure some may have. I wasn't one.

Struggle to remember what I had for brekky. Will always remember Michael Long's GF coward act on Troy Simmonds. Carry nothing other than ill will towards this club. Like the Scottish play, I choose not to say its name.

Darcy Moore knows exactly what he’s doing with these knees into ribs flies. Cox did/does the same

El Diablo 14. There's a name. I get that you can't afford to go...... but you spend the better part of three hours bagging the Melbourne Football Club., post after post after post. Almost without exception, every post take pot shots at players, coach and club. I don't think you should pay for a membership 'next and the next after' as the Dees don't appear to bring you any joy.

Tholstrup playing his second game really showed a bit. Thought Rivers also lifted his work rate and played very well. Not the disaster so many are wanting to paint it as.

Cox knees opponents deliberately. No question about it.

Apparently.

Calf

Goody will make some huge, huge changes next week. Billings to start. Laurie sub.

It's actually been a lot longer than that DD. We won the Premiership because (not only) we played with a great deal of dare. Each season since has seen less and less dare and wanting to adhere to a strict game plan. Consequently, we're always, always, always reactive rather than pro-active.

McQualter can probably leave season's end.

Crazy talk

Fixed. Off to eat a bit of humble pie.

I really hope I am JNWWS. It wouldn't be the first time!! Spoke to him at the Casey/Port match a number of weeks ago and terrific kid.

Do hope I'm wrong, but other than Frankston reflector- beach shades, not sure the young lad offers a real point of difference.

Rory Lobb effort...diabolical

Rory Lobb plays as an ineffective small. Bit of a problem when you're selected as a tall.
