I realise I’m a psycho but I HATE the patronising tone the commentators use when someone gets injured like this. Explaining to us spuds that they’re getting the best medical care etc

And due to bus replacements on the Werribee line I will be riding my bike to the game in honour of Ed 😂

💯 to this. It’s very clear the players all respect Goodwin but they also seem very comfortable and/or complacent. No one likes change, especially when you feel comfortable, but I think the players desperately need to be challenged by a fresh approach

Regarding the board - I’d consider myself a nuffie who attends every week but feel a complete and utter dislocation from the admin of the club. It’s very Wizard of Oz, at times you’d question if they’re even real. I’m certainly disenchanted with the way the club has been run but I can hardly say ‘board member X has been a complete bust’. There’s very little transparency around their decisions or the reasons for them. The board feel like a faceless black box who make decisions with very little accountability. When it comes time to vote none of us know them and so the establishment picks get elected, they drink their own bathwater and we go through the cycle again. And we nuffies who turn up every week are given a pat on the head and told to ‘make some noise’ and get no real insight into how the club is run. FRUSTRATING

Currently enjoying sitting in front of two blokes who think 1970s strategies applies to modern footy. Getting some great insights like kick the skin off it Man up! Take your wallet out of your pocket Pickett and contest the footy Petty is only getting a game because he’s dating one of Goody’s daughters players didn’t have their weetbix this morning x3 (when you’ve got good material stick with it)

Cop that Hawthorn

I can get behind this, I’ve got no deep seated deranged hated for Adelaide as I do Collingwood, Geelong, Hawthorn & Footscray 😂

Looping back to the talk of Lever as a trade potential. Would he seriously pass a thorough medical? He looks wrecked

And you went on some tangent about your neighbours being snobs which has zero to do with my comment

How is this in any way relevant to my comment

Agree, the AFLW needs work and you’re more than fair to say so. And you’ve said it in a clear and reasonable way. I’m just sick to death of hearing a certain delegation of man babies 💩 all over the AFLW. If they don’t want to watch it, fine, but I’m sick of hearing threatened sooks comllaining about it. If little boys can dream of being Max Gawn, little girls should be able to dream about being Kate Hore

Hahahaha, I had a similar thought

With respect can we stop with the AI slop

Sick Boy: It's certainly a phenomenon in all walks of life. Renton: What do you mean? Sick Boy: Well, at one time, you've got it, and then you lose it, and it's gone forever. All walks of life: George Best, for example. Had it, lost it. Or David Bowie, or Lou Reed... Or Clayton Oliver or Simon Goodwin…

I particularly enjoyed how he killed us in r12 and we allowed him to do the same thing 🫠

It’s kinda poetic that we’re lamenting the lack of on-field leadership for the mess that was the last 30secs, when the lack of off-field leadership means no one will make a definitive call on Goodwin. The learnings train will roll into 2026 🫠

Always coming up with new and innovative ways to destroy the supporters

We’re playing St Kilda again when I’m still [censored] off after the round 12 effort against them. Gotta love the AFL draw

Absolutely, he’s a top choice. My new roughie for captain 2030 is Disco

Max was stumped by the question ‘who’s the next captain of Melbourne’. So I feel slightly better about not having an answer myself 😂

So the AFL’s direction is to take short steps at a contest. Good to know

When we recruited him my Essendon supporting mate said ‘you’re going to love him’. And he wasn’t wrong

This is what worries me. Players who are now experienced - Rivers, McVee, Bowey, Fritsch, Sparrow (obviously didn’t play tonight) - regularly make dumb decisions with the footy

We’re awful. Even when they fight and win a hard contested footy they don’t have the skills to execute. And 2026 is going to be a repeat of what we saw tonight

If Koltyn turns into the equivalent of Warnie then we all owe you a beer
