I have no issue with either Cameron or Geelong here, but the Free Agency thing clearly isn't doing as intended.

Free agency is broken and there is no equality. It’s something that used to set AFL a part from rubbish sports like EPL, but now it’s broken and footy has never been worse.

Cats will win flag next year with Cameron up forward.

They still need to fit him into a salary cap and usually you have to pay a FA overs to bring them in. Other players will need to go out. I really don’t see what the problem is.

Put him up back and he’d be every bit as good as Lever.

Record against teams above us: 1 win, 5 losses

Record against teams below us: 5 wins, 0 losses

Games remaining against teams above us: 1 

Games remaining against teams below us: 5

We’ll win 10+ and finish 5th.

12 goals from 6 games. Only 5 players averaging more than 2 goals a game this year. Of those 5, only Kennedy and Dixon are talls. He’s having a GREAT season.

What just happened?

Just a question. How many times, while Goodwin has coached us, have we kicked one goal or less in a half of football. 

Again, some perspective is needed. In this round alone we’ve seen the following:

Collingwood 1 goal in three quarters

Hawthorn 1 goal in the second half

Fremantle 3 goals in the second half

Carlton 2 goals in the first half

Adelaide, Richmond, Collingwood 5 goals all game

West Coast 1 goal in the second half

Are all of those clubs senior coaches [censored] like a Goody supposedly is?

Unpopular opinion. In round 1, Weitering kept Tom Lynch to no goals, no marks and 9 touches in a Richmond win.
 

Maybe the narrative should be a little more about how good Weitering’s start to the season is, rather than how poor TMac was.

Joel Smith  he won us the game what a great be player better than Oscar .......................I have come to my senses. 

Joel Smith PLEASEEEEEEE  go back to Basketball because you have no clue.. ............And the the one's that rate him you are only stirring that he can play.    I GET YOU NOW. You only sucked in yourselves.   WON'T PLAY NEXT WEEK  I AM CONFIDENT OF THAT OR ANY OTHER WEEK. I AM HOPING.

So help me G        d.     

I don't need to elaborate if you watched the game.

 

 

You edited this post and it still reads like this? Are you okay?

Although I'd love to see us with a training base near the MCG, I feel there won't be the land required in that area to cater for our growing needs over time. Going outside the 3000 post code to locations such as Elsternwick Park or even Dendy Park could present better options. Neither are far from the city and could open the door for public/private partnership with either local council, schools and sporting clubs.

This.

I reckon it would be great to have a cafe/pub/function area that overlooks the oval and perhaps the interior of the center for people to look into the fitness and training zones. Sort of a way of it being interactive with the fans.

I would really love it to be at Gosches paddock (and then rename it to Stynes Park), I just wonder if it too ambitious for a small zone.

Name it after Stynes? After he nearly destroyed the club though  mismanagement... you’ve got to be kidding me.

Do we ignore the Essendon scratch match because it doesn't suit the upbeat narrative?

You’re absolutely right. And we should start referencing Casey games when measuring the success of Melbourne’s senior team...  ??‍♂️

When you look at the research, they’re stating the bleeding obvious! ?

MFC should demand to go back to the MCG where we belong.

And... and cancel the cricket so we can do a full pre season on the G!! ?

Also, Dendy Park is looking a little under-utilised: https://goo.gl/maps/EHKPtdoKPThJQC8P8

Head down stream a little. Precisely here: https://goo.gl/maps/shA2vZn8u52hVNTMA

I don’t have anything to add to this, but just feel bad that three hours has passed and nobody has posted...

I'd rather hear it from the horses mouth first instead of a player.

You did hear it from... we’ll... from a horse mouth. ?

Finally, someone front and centre at the drop...

I keep going back to this but check out his marking stats once he was moved back into the forward line.

For a guy with stick arms he can sure take a grab.

Based on his last 7 rounds, he’s a 50 goal a year forward if played there permanently. That would have been good enough for 7th in the Coleman this year.

Must play 22 games forward in 2020.

Any other clubs have 7 interstate trips!?!?!?

B-

We still lack a genuine key forward. Don't know if i am sold on going with Weideman and McDonald again.

The rest I really like though!

You can’t trade for them if they’re not out there. Or would you have taken one of Bruce or Jenkins?

The comparison this year is Brodie Kemp, a player who could be anything, but will most likely not play in 2020 due to ACL surgery. That’s a risk I would like to see us taking.

With pick 3? Or will he slide right down...

Whelan was drafted in 1999.

Davey in 2004.

Aussie 2007.

Jurrah 2008.

You've listed 4 players drafted over a 10 year span seemingly as an example of how 'often' we recruited Indigenous players.

We had 5 Indigenous players on our list this year.

 

And two of them were busts!
