Again, to bag definition: to criticize or laugh at someone or something in an unkind way Most posters on here will be disappointed if Melbourne lose, and they express it, but there is a small majority that need to bag the players, why, who knows, perhaps it makes them feel better, which as another poster has succinctly put, it says more about them than the players

Oh dear, not very resilient of you in the reply, did you actually take it personally, tsk tsk. Note on Demonland, when I used to able to attend training, before COVID [censored] all over my job, both Goody and Greg Stafford were patrolling Gosch's looking for a particular poster to have 'words', I know because they asked me if I knew who it was.

Can you let me know where you work, wouldn't mind sitting next to you for a couple of hours, just for observation purposes of course and I am sure you wouldn't mind a bit of constructive criticism if you don't perform your given tasks to a very high standard. Of course one has to keep in mind that a poor performance from a young player may result in a posters, not necessarily the one I am replying to, multi failing, this can lead to a bit of vitriol aimed at the player rather than themselves for their poor decision to actually gamble.

Thanks Vanessa, can always tell when we have lost, all the highly experienced coaches and list managers/recruiters start pontificating on here.

So, we must have lost last weekend.

As General Manager of Footy Ops at the AFL to make sure Goody knows what Ruckman means

But the question is, was it like the old days at Junction Oval, and the Bombers spy was up a tree at Goschs

Wow, the sheriff of opinions comes barrelling into town, just a point you couldn't tie the shoelaces of @WalkingCivilWar as a Melbourne supporter. I am a fan boy, I support my team no matter what, as it is only footy, I get disappointed after a loss and enjoy the wins. It is not toxic, toxic is not allowing anybody else to have an opinion. Back to the footy, looking forward to Roo rucking in the fwd 50, Tommy Mc in the back 50 and Petty and Turner around the ground. See what Draper thinks of that, with the occasional surprise of somebody like Clarry taking a ball up or 2

Whilst everybody is patting themselves on the back "on how far we have come", Indigenous players still have to put up with racist rubbish on Social Media, if you see it, call it out.

Sorry, if I leave the confines of my triangle of East Melbourne, Fitzroy and Collingwood, I feel a bit nauseous, Chadstone is a bit too suburban for me, Chin and Andy told me.

They all live close to each other in the Chadstone area, Tholtrup with McVee, Roo and AMW. Chin lives just across from Roo and AMW as far as I can remember. Think Howes is that way also.

What did you coach? Kids to school?

Why is everybody worried about Melksham coming back in, he is not a kid with 1 pre season under his belt, I saw him at the Sponsors function, he looks fitter than ever.

So I take it you spent the whole game concentrating on a debutant, looking for any mistakes he made.

He is Andy, don't think he is a fan of nicknames.

You can blame Nev Jetta, when he was leaving, after I had along with my partner been doing volunteering with the Club and told him I was finishing with it as it was getting too much with work changes after COVID, but wanted to do something else, he said sponsor one of the new kids, but don't pick the top draft picks, pick a kid you can watch develop and encourage them along the way. Hence why Nev is going to be a Senior Coach one day.

It is very sad on my part......like a surrogate parent.......met a skinny kid 3 years ago and watched him grow both literally and figuratively....he is great mates with Rooey and Koz so they will look after him pre game.

Spoke to him at the Sponsors function, just told him to keep knocking on the door LOUDLY.......he is as tough as nails.

Who said the Collingwood players were shocked....oh the media again.....who said Tracs family are upset....oh the media again............

War? Dear me what century are you living in, fights?...........do you mean contested football which we have prided ourselves on previously, we have a few players out of form, Bowie, Oliver, Petty. Chandler....... changes will be made, move on to the next game. And your knock on Windsor is laughable, an 18yr old without an AFL hardened body who is trying his guts out on the wing each week.

I am glad you are not, you would have lost the players in pre season.

What posters need to remember is Andy is direct from Darwin. So no junior development pathway to speak of. And defence is not part of the footy vocabulary up there. And when he arrived he was like a stick with hair, similar to Jefferson who is also now beginning to look like an AFL player. Because Andy had not settled into a position, which is the go in Darwin also, the club has had a blank canvas to work with I believe in some closed training sessions he is thrown into the middle to give the AFL mids something different to look at. Consistency is the key for him and he is beginning to show it in a team not travelling well. As for the game Casey, which I watched live, were smashed at centre clearances and stoppages, too many got sucked in and Coburg got the ball out and were away. Also the channelling back by the mids and fwds to support the defence was poor until the last qtr

How I love the optimism you bring to each thread, it is refreshing. We have drafted him, let's wait and see.

Geelong flying at 7 zip and everybody gushing they are the team to beat, then 3 straight losses, the last one by 64 points. Slumps happen to the best. We have had a couple of poor games, as long as there is a reaction against the Saints, the ship will set sail again. It is a long season, we are not halfway yet.

I will pass on your vote of confidence to AMW
