Considering he came on in the third quarter, and hand his hands on his knees at the end of the 3rd, appears his fitness isn’t quite there and they’ll build him up. Sounds like we’re protecting a young asset and working on his fitness / development

Was scary how easy they could transition out of our backline with ease. Cracking effort, they will be one of the teams to beat this year.

Yeah he’s a concern, gives up a lot defensively with his height / pace.

QLD AFL are claiming that more kids in QLD are playing AFL then NRL these days.

Yeah I’m sure they did, that’s what you usually do after a wedding reception, sit down and discuss work….

Was brutally honest In the survey

Highly intelligent young man, a great deep thinker, understands culture and football, loves the Melbourne football club. I vote #1 Angus Brayshaw for president of the MFC

The pies targeted Ed Langdon because he said they were “all duck no dinner”. Petracca shook Maynard’s hand and tapped him on the bum after knocking Brayshaw out and he was medically retired. Taking off my red and blue coloured glasses, that was the weakest, most spineless response by a professional team I can remember. If Tom McDonald knocked out Pendles, he would have been hit all game. if you continue to stand for nothing, you become nothing. 2021 with “selfless” the next three years was selfish.

Nibbler…..

It’s need to be both. We did that so well to get the 21 premiership, you simply cannot go all draft or all trade. the last three years our lift has continued to get worse, it needs to massively improve this year, get it right Tim Lamb, or fall on your sword and get someone else capable.

Nibbler leaving is not on Lamb, finding a better replacement or even matching nibbler is on Lamb. Personally since 2021, our list has continued to get worse, our trade in replacements haven’t worked and have made us a lesser team,

The scary thing is we continue to let talent leave the club and we’re not bettering or even matching that talent level. All our role players and depth has left I.e Bedford, hunt, pig retiring, Jordan, Jetta retiring, Jones retiring, Guy retiring, LJ leaving. if the club continues to let Tim Lamb decimate the playing list by not replacing experienced players, we’ll continue to be bottom 4 and fighting with Tassie like we did with GC and GWS. this is [censored] depressing….

It appears that Gus was our spiritual leader within the club (I.e. Selwood to the cats). I really hope that the sports psychologists are heavily involved with the team, we certainly cannot replace Gus, but the team certainly needs to work through not having him within the 4 walls of the club.

Can’t go out in straight sets if we don’t make finals….

Worried about Steven May, just hoping it’s a form slump and not Father Time catching up to him. Has been well below his high standards this year.

Billing’s and Laurie shouldn’t be picked, they’re not AFL standard, we cannot continue to carry players like these two.

Can we trade Lamb for Sydney’s list manager? Swans have done a fantastic job (helped by the academy) but the pieces they have added has been a masterstroke (with depth might I add).

Plenty of other teams have lost their best player and still been competitive. Look at our forward pressure over the past 5 weeks, opposition teams just stroll out now under zero pressure, out of the bottom 15 players on the field tonight 10 were Melbourne against a team that has won one game this year.

So many playing bruise free footy tonight, just going at the hard ball half hearted, 5 weeks ago we lost to the blues by a point and look how far we have fallen….

We’re in such a hole, how is our forward line getting worse. Clarry gave away 5 free kicks tonight, $1 million a year he is being paid by us, what an absolute joke. estatic I’m going to the game next week…..

TDK would look amazing in Navy Blue and Red, can play forward and kick goals, out of contract at the end of 2025

The Petty forward experiment feels like the Frawley forward experiment, he’s gone at seasons end and we’re planning for the future without him, there is absolutely no other reason to think it’s going to click as a forward, if he has some break out games it boosts his trade value to the Crows. unfortunately I watched the Kings birthday game live, the lack of pressure and all round care from everyone apart from Max, Trac, ANB, Viney was heartbreaking. It doesn’t take skill to chase and tackle, we don’t appear to be playing for the jumper which I haven’t thought since 2019

Bloody hell it looks cold! I’m at the airport about to fly down, I haven’t packed for the conditions…..
