TRAINING: Wednesday 2nd April 2025
So it’s safe to say Fullerton, Sestan, Kentfield and Verrall have their exit papers stamped.

Time to start a rebuild?
Almost impossible to receive any benefit from trading Petracca, Oliver and Viney,, and Gone. They have massive multiple year contracts that we are up for. Nobody will be crazy enough to take up the payments and handover picks or players as well. They are basically giveaways with us paying half their salaries.

Harvey Langford Rising Star nomination Rd 3
Coming into the draft there was a big knock on his pace from a number of prospective clubs.

Maybe it’s about time we held a review into club operations.

Melbourne Fans Mindset
Why don’t we have a CEO, who’s managing this mess, too many mates, too close to each other, recipe for disaster.

Xavier Lindsay Update?
Just taken to hospital with bruised toe. Petracca fighting for his life in emergency unit. Club checks on his welfare after a few weeks of not attending training.

POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs Gold Coast
Some good facts here. Time to change it around, get back in the box and take feedback from all the assistants. Nathan Jones, what level AFL coaching accreditation does he have? Retired, one year on telly and now managing our midfield. This appears every bit of a “good old boys” appointment, a monumental stuff up and a disgrace.

POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs Gold Coast
He was treacle slow, appears overweight to me.
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 03 vs Gold Coast
Yep, slow, can’t kick, can’t mark. But his Dad played a few serviceable games.
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 03 vs Gold Coast
He coaches exactly like he played, slow.

Take the liability Van Rooyen and the bald bloke off and play two men short.

Training Ground?
To much time spent on this racetrack folly, how about directing some energy to our core business.

Tim Lamb
As a club we have blundered our way into a terrible mess. Gawn, should be enjoying his forthcoming retirement, sitting in the coaches box, having the odd beer, and the odd cameo. Please spare me, we can’t play because his Mums crook. But it’s all about Max, hung onto the captaincy way to long, Max takes the ruck, the backline plan is to kick it to Max regardless, the Forward plan is all about Max who is not much chop around goals, and his replacement is an aged journeyman. We need a young ruckmen, two if possible. May, no protege available here, Tommy Mac, no spring chicken with no replacement. Viney, Petracca, Clarry, got chopped up by young quick players, out on their feet at 3qt time. VanRooyen, Jefferson, everyone’s great white hopes, not going to happen, in a million years, forcing Fritz into a key role, when he is so obvious a pinch hitter. Desperate need for a full back a Full forward and a CHF, and a couple of pacy youthful on ballers, and a ruckman, starting next week. All this planning should have taken place 3/4 years ago. Also the decision to bone Tommo, has gotten on my goat, particularly when you have kept a huge hatful of VFL standard battlers out at Casey, whom have hung off the back of the list for years, who very obviously will never measure up. I don’t blame Simon, the problem is in the back office.

May moved forward?
I’m all in on this suggestion. Mays just about cooked, how old is this guy 35? It worked for Ray Biffen .

Luke Jackson back to Victoria?
It didn’t work for Jeff Farmer and Jesse Hogan, Jackson’s finding out why.

AfL players talk with fork tongue.

Forward line questions
The Forward line is very weak, the weakest link. Promising players, that have not delivered the goods.

I would rather read an article about the consequences regarding Caulfield, due to Festers retirement.
