WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - KYSAIAH KROPINYERI PICKETT
Jackson and Pickett are a marketers dream if you are going after the youngsters. Imagine a 15 minute TV program. This is where youtube provides an easy testing ground for an entrepreneurial programmer. And of course there's TikTok. I wonder to what extent the AFL has the players tied up. If it had to go through the AFL site it would be a dodo.

Sam Weideman re-signs until 2023
Last contract his manager said he should be paid as a gun forward some silly dollars. Everyone laughed and he was signed. Wonder if his manager has floated this balloon as well.

Sydney COVID Case & Our Match
Must say I hadn't thought of this while reading the reports. Who really knows these days
-
CHANGES: Rd 08 vs Sydney
so that ends the Weid in story for this week anyway. Baker wasn't that bad but he could go. Harmes for Baker would not surprise and then perhaps Sparrow for Jones.

Christian Petracca is A Demon For Life
My guess is that it has a base which could well be $900k and then a % of total player payments. Makes sense as no one really knows where the salary cap is going in the next 3-5 years. Not generally in favour of more than four years but this one makes sense.

TICKETING: Rd 08 vs Sydney
cost saving Rarely opened these days Maybe next year

TICKETING: Rd 08 vs Sydney
The next arranged blockbuster is the dreamtime game in June/July. Can't see them going to 100% by then but not impossible. Then it's the finals. QB will probably be around 50k given Collingwood's year. You just know there will be mini covid breakouts. How they are dealt with who knows. Got level 2A this weekend...very pleased.

Top of the Ladder?
Dare I ask when was the last time we were on top for 2 consecutive weeks. 1988 (first half of season) springs to mind but not sure.

My Round 8 Preview and Prediction
Swans have a habit of upsetting our apple cart. The forced changes should take care of any complacency. A possibly damp night may not make it a good night for talls. 17 points in favour of the Dees

2020 Player Reviews: #33 Oskar Baker
the big difference this year is that our bottom 6 are performing unlike the musical chairs at selection that we have suffered so many times. Not sure that Oskar will make it but looking at our depth there's not too many like him size and build wise.

Top of the Ladder?
Seven rounds in Undefeated and atop the ladder Sure.. it's not the endgame but hell it's nice Just enjoy.... It's a pity that supporters cannot experience the Northey days when everyone was welcome in the change rooms. Heady days and so much fun PS... cannot remember ladies being allowed but cannot think why not.

POSTGAME: Rd 07 vs North Melbourne

No... unless Petty fails

2021 Injury List
Not quite but shades of 2004 with the injuries hitting us as we reach the top. Any more news on Brown? Smith down at VFL level is not good either.
