You’re being weird.

Surely it was only worth 2x red angry faces? That 4th one is practically a declaration of war… ;)

I’m with Crackers65 here. Is there a point to your post hairy biker? Throwing up an irrelevant past player’s dad’s opinion (adding nothing yourself) is just being a bore.

Nothing nothing Kong

But more so… Reid.

I feel this Lav didn’t play VFL OR wasn’t best 23 at the start of the season discussion is on repeat every couple of months.

Star defender Jake Lever also won't return to full training until the end of next month as he continues his recovery from post-season knee and shoulder surgery. The 28-year-old is back running, but his shoulder rehab means he won't start contact training until the end of January.

Ok, so the death riding Melbourne pre season has: 1. Oliver looking unfit / uninterested GOOD 2. Petracca with a point to prove BAD 3. Melbourne 2025 draw was rated as good BAD 4. Oliver looking fit and engaged BAD 5. Gawn injury GOOD Some may say too early… some may say that sounds more...

For my boy Cox, I still feel he’s part of the discussion based upon “potential” Totally agree until he gets a role and makes it his (with performance) and dominates he’s no where near elite.

Good prompt. Just had a relisten too. My key take aways: Board alignment Andrew Walsh is a “great mate” emphasised repeatedly Supportive of current board calls himself “independent” Cultural focus Works as a collaborator Agenda Aligned to board’s “No sugar hits” repeated a few times Plan...

Yes*. *but only after a bottle of red

As resident moderator here - This is pretty compelling - Based upon the literal (best 22 in year 1)… injury means that was never possible… But less literal… he wasn’t beat 22 in year 2 either (no injury). If he’s not best by season end I think it’s pretty fair to call it disappointing...

Agree this is one of the really interesting conundrums. Are we in a development year - might accept going in a bit lopsided if it helps development… put Draper forward with 2MP whilst Bryan develops around the ground. If we’re going for wins - those 3 are surely too tall? I think the ideal is...

My favourite GTA classic move… do a “Hurley” - where you assault someone who has just given you a lift / assisted you.

Don’t disagree… “was” or “is” held back might be the question. I’m in the hoping changes mean it’s more of a “was” camp.

Big soft Cox?

Where’s the love for big Cox? Nik “Potential” Cox. Unicorn. Let’s put to bed the KPD guff, he’ll never be a big framed hold your ground monster. What he has Can cover a lot of ground Great reach Goes off both pegs Competitive enough… still building that What he needs Right role & more...

Yoda_ what your own opening bid (on who’s better)?

Sheeds was being the club’s 20 year “constipation”*. * Sheedy is still one of my most admired club legends. Just not in a C post coaching board room way.

Surely this kicks off the annual “training with caps on” debate… this year, they’re wearing those poker player versions that don’t have lids. Let me start - They should train how they’ll play… you don’t wear caps on game day. Non professional. Amateur hour stuff. When will we go professional?

I can’t fault it. It’s math. We’ll be fine.

It will need the matching red shorts to be fully rad.

Math

I thought I was the only one allowed to make fuzzy logic statements about how changes in personnel will impact scores (especially relating to missing Stringer’s 42 goals)? Maybe stay in your lane…
