    Player Watch #2 Jacob Hopper - Fined MRO

    A few points RE: Hopper - it's a really tough one. He has fallen off a cliff no doubt. it is staggering comparing output this year, to last year and, while is ages ago now, compared to his good years at the giants. I suspect some physical issue lead to confidence being shot, add in lack of...

    Injury Injury Report - 18 Injuries

    Won’t happen as dramatically as this, but say the club marches Serpell out the door tomorrow (which is what I think should happen), do you think they’d insist he use his patented back straight, knees high, on his way from the door to his car?? TBH: when I saw the players doing this before the...

    Player Watch #4 Sam Lalor - Achillies Injury No Surgery Time Frame 8-12

    agree. this is my point, provide some science to shut the nonsense about the ground down!

    Player Watch #4 Sam Lalor - Achillies Injury No Surgery Time Frame 8-12

    All this conjecture about it’s the ground (Caro, FoxFooty), it’s not the ground (Dunne), would it be as simple as a surface hardness test and (maybe) something about ground movement? Why feed the media? Show some science to hose down the speculation. Just my own opinion, highly unlikely to...

    Injury Injury Report - 18 Injuries

    Yeah, 3 more ruled out during the captain's run and another 2 who later presented with sorness (something about bone stress). But wait, can it be legit called a captain's run when, well, err..... our captain is out injured?

    Injury Injury Report - 18 Injuries

    Agreed. And i think it is the next thing we’re going to hear. Even then the timing and exact message will be carefully curated.

    Injury Injury Report - 18 Injuries

    Do we really know what the club thinks? And these calls for the CEO/Pres to speak, what do you propose they say? They are not going to say, "yeah our head of strength and conditioning is a complete moron, has no idea and has wrecked a few of our elite juniors.". It'd open the club up to all...

    News Welcome Ben Serpell

    I know I’m in the minority thinking that (bad) luck is the main thing at play here. But even if I’m right, I’m at the point he has to go via a controlled process. There is just too much history now, conjecture and erosion of trust. I can’t see that being restored. I’d recommend a fresh...

    Injury Injury Report - 18 Injuries

    None of this is good (don't get me wrong), but given the injuries, I take some solace in getting some of these guys back. There are some to come back in the short term (TT, Lynch, Rioli, Trainor), some in the short/medium term (Nank, Peuker??, Smillie??, Banks) and others before end of year...

    Autopsy Roast & Toast v North/Changes For Melbourne

    A few thoughts: - Injuries are killing us (captain obvious). Makes it very hard to have any game plan. Also stifles growth in the young guys. Unless you’re a freak like Lalor - who doesn’t need to grow, already a gun - Hopper out made us experiment more around the ball. Kano looked OK...

    Game Day Round 6 v North Melbourne Marvel Stadium Sunday April 19th 1.10pm - Restschko Debut

    What is Millar doing. Just giving away goals.

    Game Day Round 6 v North Melbourne Marvel Stadium Sunday April 19th 1.10pm - Restschko Debut

    Should be new team rule, if you’re a backman and you bitc@ to the umpire expecting help, but give a goal away if not, you’re benched or dropped. So frustrating

    Game Day Round 6 v North Melbourne Marvel Stadium Sunday April 19th 1.10pm - Restschko Debut

    Part of being in the backline is defending. Can someone let Shorty know that???

    True. And the game is slow as!

    Player Watch #2 Jacob Hopper - Fined MRO

    If Adem plans to bring him back in for Dees game Hopper IS actually being managed and thus not omitted/dropped. That is the worrying bit for me. Not that he's hiding behind the label 'managed', more that he's not actually dropping him.
