My reply was in response to a question.I dont need to justify it. I did like your notion of nuance in language and the possibilities that it present. I find some of what I have called conflation embarrassing, but it doesn't matter much to me . I am content with watching them play and supporting their efforts.Apparently unlike the supporters on the balcony vs the Lions who were abusing the players( our team) 10 minutes into the first quarter. Summary ..Carry on ,I didn't raise the issue and I'm happy to watch them play ,appreciating their skills and courage. The "us and them " nonsense around here is sometimes embarrassing and childish though. At least outside of the coaches motivational instructions. Vicarious triumph and despair is for fat Presidents who imagine they could/ should have been a player . I was a little like that in 64 without any of the qualifications you list.

Yeah something like that, I joined Ology around the Neeld era and remembered greater competitive spirit, commitment and results from the glory years of my youth. I have never seen a need to change it even though most of those matters are now irrelevant . Numbers 6 , 9 , and 31 still belong to that era for me emotionally I do remember a power Club off the field though and a genuine rivalry with Collingwood as a primary issue. Off course that's just a teenage memory I seem to share with similarly aged mates who support Collingwood .

The Melbourne Football Club . Conflating the Team with its supporters is like sixteen year old girls dressing up as Taylor Swift
-
He's been underrated as part of a cohesive backline team ,how he goes in the chaos of the Melbourne forward line is uncertain ,given the small sample. Either way they'll miss him

Petty will get better,Brown can lead and mark and kick straight if they kick it to him. JVR is apparently the future and has to ruck and compete at against bigger bodies down forward,which is poor. Fritsch is defensively lazy ,probably doesn't even know what the word means but is the leading goal kick from marks and opportunist positioning. Who arnt you going to pick? BoneonBone BBB probably needs the bye more than anyone and with proper management possibly shouldn't have played on Thursday. He will likely be the sacrifice for AFL stupid and irresponsible fixturing

Oh please stop fighting ...Kossie isn't a thug( or Williams) he's getting suspended for undisciplined and unnecessary minor infractions that a few years back ,when he started, probably would pass unnoticed I said to the first posturing response " choose your adjective. " :undisciplined, careless, unnecessary, wasteful.?? Then mentioned his genius with ground balls..suspension is wasting his talent and contributions. Now go away

Of course if you were paying attention to what I wrote you would note I balanced my frustration/ criticism with his genius in the ground ball mix. I doubt he' d be going back to Casey,hes too important for that,more likely the leadership group would be pointing out that he needs to not be missing games through lack of discipline. Still, carry on with your MFC can do no wrong polemic and no critical opinions should be voiced.

Go to the naughty corner you said Maynard was a " great" defender not a serial offender,a thug who should be charged and banned forever . Everything else was interesting though.

I watch him play. I don't know whether he makes his bed or washes the dishes at home. He regularly jumps at impossible marks rather than being waiting at the bottom of the pack. He jumps into body contact " tackles" when apparently Maynard should be in jail. Choose your own adjective. I see" playing on the edge"s the go to club talk ," he's still "working on it" apparently". Thanks for your interest

They look pretty user friendly to me. The abuse seems to coming from the internet

Only similarity with Swift is the moves come with 30+ others on the stage. Jake's arnt scripted ,rehearsed on scheduled

Harry was undervalued as a back in the shadow of May and Lever and may possibly be overvalued up forward given the small sample size. It was a ( desperate) needs based move at the time Move him back while BBB can still get around.Take the load off TMac. Time for JVR and Fritta to plant the flag as a regular working duo and for appropriate supply to be upgraded to "elite". Clearly honouring BBB's long leads is part of that picture as long as it lasts Season defining fortnight imo
