I was there live tonight, our midfield was soft and didn’t work clearly hard enough. Petracca and Oliver were poor, Viney was horrendous. The midfield is to blame tonight unfortunately

I’ll be there flying the flag for the Mighty Dee’s. I’ll be fascinated at the crowd number, with the broncos vs Dolphins being playing up the road (is a sell out), a lot of people choose the Broncs over Lions.

I’m still amazed that this jive turkey is on AFL360, when Chief replaced him when he was ill, it was an absolute joy to watch, Gerard the host and the expert commentator from Chief. Must be a hell of a lot of Winnie Blue smokers out there sending in love letters to Foxfooty to keep him relevant.

I really hope big Grundy is printing these out and putting them up somewhere visible daily to really motivate a massive 2023. See below from ex-coach and ordinary person Nathan Buckley: “Say Grundy is on $900,000, they have to pay $300,000 and Melbourne pay $600,000. And then you bring McStay in for around $600,000. That means the salary cap doesn’t shift. “I thought there was going to have to be some give from a salary cap perspective. Now, there may be a little bit of give especially in the future, but in terms of the attributes and the strengths each of those players bring to the table – McStay, I believe, will help, as good as Grundy is, McStay’s attributes and strengths will feed into Collingwood’s needs greater than Brodie Grundy would have in the next five years. I hope Grundy is sitting at home thinking:

With so much to lose and so little to gain, I have no idea why these athletes do it in public, do whatever you want in the privacy of your own home. as Shaq said: “I do drink, but not in public because I can’t do nothing to jeopardize my mother’s empire..so If I’m at the house I’ll drink, but I’m not going to drink at a restaurant and jump in a car and then..cos my father always used to tell me, if you mess the money up, your mama ain’t going to have no house, if you mess the money up, your mama ain’t going to eat.“ With how much Shaq’s worth, I doubt his Mama will go without a meal.

I think Richo isn’t letting the truth get in the way of a good yarn here: “So, what was that? Is it fitness? Is it mindset? Is it opposition? Or all of the above? Although [it was] not fitness. We are still running really hard. There were a few competition-wide markers that were strong proof that we were still a hard-running team. It was a bit more about attitude and opposition. Teams were taking things away from us.” in 2021 we would steamroll teams in the second half, 2022 we were running up hill in the second half, sounds like we were a bit banged up also. You could see it live and on T.V., we had no run or dare. were we fit? Probably yes, were we premiership fit? Clearly not.

You’re looking at the wrong line of defence then, up the ground defence made our backline worse, front of centre defence last season compared to our premiership year was stark. Pressure up forward, slows the ball down and creates rushed high kicks. We need the 2021 hunger for defence in 2023.

The hashtag unicorn and now this, their social media department is certainly creative……

Maybe that’s why they have signed Melky to a one year contract 😉

When He said “big club” I thought

Our only hope is to extract blood from Jack Viney and hope the aggression and intensity of JV takes over Josh, like the Seinfeld episode below….. You’ve got 3 pints of Kramer in you buddy!

All I heard was “cannot wait to get stuck into it” a thousand times over. You could tell he was overwhelmed by the questions. Super disappointed he left, I think he’ll struggle under the expectations/ scrutiny.

What’s the bet the deal is already agreed but the AFL is making Demons & Dockers to string it out to the last couple of days to get more media attention and fans worked up?

What are the bombers options? Ross Lyon, Leon Cameron, James Hird, Nathan Buckley….. then the dinosaurs. Lyon and Buckley look pretty happy in their media roles. it really is beautiful to watch though 😂

I’ll happily take the 4 points, although it feels like we stole it. we’re just so predictable over the past 10-12 rounds, we have lost all our offensive dare, Second to the ball, hate to say it but soft at the contest at times tonight. unless we’re about to hit a switch but we’re struggling under the pressure of being reigning premiers it feels. I’ll be cheering on at the Gabba, let’s hope some offensive is found during the week. it would be nice to kick it to BBB on the lead just once and not to him with 3 defenders. 🔵🔴🔴🔴🔵

Hunger and fitness aren’t there this year, we used to slaughter teams last season. I don’t know why a hard tag was not put on De Goey, the bloke has had 3-4 BOG’s against Melbourne whenever he plays us. Our best players May, Lever, Gawn, Oliver, Petracca aren’t playing well enough to win games this year. the heat came in the second half and we played soft.

You always needs a plan B, imagine if we did nothing and he left with only Max as our ruck stock. We need to continue to improve our list next year or teams will go past us.

Fitness and hunger unfortunately.

Salem needs to take the 60 degree boots off and find the crisp 5 iron boots from last year.

I just can’t see Gus leaving to be honest, he and his family are so invested in the club, he’s one of our leaders, does a lot of media for MFC including the podcast. His parents take in our next draftees every year. If he leaves it will be a massive shock.

No Steven May no Melbourne

Is this the first time you have posted in 17 weeks? Give us a rest troll. One bad game and you’re jumping at shadows. Make sure Mum tucks you in nice and tight tonight.

You sad sack of a man, won 17 in a row, they caught us with 5-6 of our best out and you start slagging off our bright stars. I actually feel sorry for you….

Midfield needs to stand up, they got destroyed in that quarter, someone need to put a rocket under Petracca
