Cranky Franky

Very snarky. Please put the claws away.

I had a girlfriend like that when I was a young feller. The relationship didn’t go well 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Agree - this is a minor disaster.

Ok, maybe leaker would have been preferable to whistle-blower. The original comment from Ollie was - "we should find and get rid of whoever is leaking about all our troubles"

What a great idea - shoot the whistle-blower and ignore the actual problems. That should work out well.

Yeah I know - it was all a media beat up. We almost finished 4th & have the best culture I've ever seen.

Knows his stuff. Makes most Demonland pundits look silly by comparison.

Loved Laurie Fowler, tough, fearless & consistent. Would have played more games but for dumb contract negotiations by the Club. Laurie & Stan Alves were both poorly treated by the Club's administration & it was detrimental to the team.

He actually played as an on baller for the majority of his career at Melbourne and remains criminally underarappreciated by the Club & by most supporters.

"greater internal issues" at 6 other Clubs you say. We had a drug suspension, a top player not attending pre season, legal action on 2 fronts then ended the season with our 2 best players seeking trades out. Not sure any of those 6 Clubs got close to our disasters.

There's a persistent group of Demonland acolytes trying to rewrite history by having a range of (mostly juvenile) digs at Tom Morris, Kane Cornes & other media to suggest all our problems were a media beat up & not the fault of a dysfunctional administration. They are not fooling anyone. Media is still there while our CEO & Prez fell on their swords.

Mike Sheahan is a pretty shallow interviewer. Why didn't he talk about Robbie's relationship with his coaches, practise match with Jacko, how he wouldn't shake hands with Rhys Jones & the big money offers by other clubs.

So what is the answer ?

A major disappointment. Was no better than good ordinary. His underground handballs were underwhelming.

👍👍👍

Gutsy effort

We have been playing static 60s style football for a while. Mark then go back & take your kick. May kicks out to his left to Max 99% of the time.

I reckon your 2024 epitaph would be "IT WAS THE YEAR FROM HELL" .....but it was all the media's fault.

Spot on George. Sadly our members have a long history (back to the mid 60s) of failing to hold elected officials to account.

McAdams can start at Casey along with Browns, Lauries, Woewodins, Georges and Adamss 😁

The last few years against Collingwood have been so humiliating that I now refuse to go until something changes.

Goodwin is pretty clueless against the pies. They look like they know we will roll over. Its embarrassing.

Hate to be a pessimist but I can't see a 30 year old, who averages 11 games a year suddenly overcome his fitness & injury history & become a gun player.

Sorry Kev I admit to being pedantic. Anyhow your training reports are very much appreciated & very informative.

Well McAdam has been here over 12 months & people keep calling him McAdams. Not sure why that is. Maybe it's the reason for his indifferent form.
