The heart beats true

That’s the spirit!

While I agree with this I really think they’ll chalk it up to ‘hard ground to get space at, we looked better in The G’ and not much will change.

This one made me swear at the TV…. https://twitter.com/outbreezyWC/status/1671835632514256896?cxt=HHwWgMDS7czpxrMuAAAA

Is there a way I can find that footage of our centre square free kick in the last where they refused to give the ball back and then when they did they threw it passed Viney? That was laughably bad umpiring.

Currently we are a 5-8 team. We can scrap and fight to stay in the contest, and on our day take a big scalp, but consistently we lack skill forward of the ball. The good news is we have one too many running half backs. Hopefully Bowser or McVee can move up the ground over the preseason and help with executing that last kick forward.

Fine by me. There will be 25,000 Melbourne supporters there, who can give our boys some momentum and belief. They aren’t getting that playing in front of 5,000 impartial footy fans in Port and Adelaide jumpers in Alice.

If I was the president I’d be asking our football department what experienced forward line coach we need to bring in. Things have to change in the footy department I think. Our forward line connection has been a problem in 4 of the last 5 seasons - yet we have one of the best midfields. We need someone who values skill and forward craft, as it’ll put pressure on the rest of the football department to buy into the value of execution. We have to compete way too hard to score.

Isn’t every one just thrilled that we gave up a home game to travel interstate? Geelong got momentum from their crowd and played to their strengths at home. We gave this game up. I absolutely hate it. Melbourne homes games at the G only. If we want to be taken seriously start acting that way.

Yep, and I think it gets lost but the Hawks and Tigers eras came off the back of heavily compromised drafts periods. This is what the AFL wants.

This. We have to work far too hard to score.

This is all about them getting their tales up at home - in front of their fans. Why do we sell home games and force ourselves to travel? This season is about the smallest details. I’ll be telling the club.

THIs is WHY YOU PLAYE HOME GAMES AT YOUR Home GROUnd. I bet you no one give a [censored] about the community in Alice Spings now.

That advantage was a joke

Grundy and Smith have both been fantastic.

Fox Footy going with a story from the first 15 minutes. Might wanna tell em the score

Great goal Koz!!!!

Were you born in 2019 Jimmy? That’s the only way this can be true.

The scrapping onto Tracc and Gawn is pure Scott.

Smith has looked really agile.

In all seriousness if that was an opposition player it’d be 4 weeks. I don’t say that to be funny. I say it because it shows you what a raffle it is.

Ok, so this I don’t quite understand. not showing incident. Happy to when it’s a potential suspension

I wouldn’t sleep for a week. No coffee after midday for me, and I still can’t sleep before 1 after a night game.

Same.

This is the longest shortest day of the year ever!

The only thing certain about tonight is that 21,000 people will still make enough noise to create some very questionable umpiring decisions.
