Pardon the intrusion, but I feel like I'm nearly getting as frustrated watching your midfield as you are at the moment. It's blatantly obvious to nearly everyone except that bald campaigner of a coach that you can't play Crouch and Laird together at nearly every stoppage. Both of them are...

Treasured memories of 2018 :sweatsmile: Enjoy, friends.

Yeah, I'm pretty keen the more I think about it. Perfect Melksham replacement, and adds a bit of a point of difference to our forward line. Not expecting him to become a star, but another 25-30 goal per year forward who's a threat both in the air and at ground level sounds good to me.

Works for me. There'll also be whatever we get for Grundy, so I'm sure it'll get done fairly easy as we have a bunch of early picks to use this year anyway.

Yep (34*) and Freo's second (24).

How random. What would you realistically want for him?

Not always the smoothest user of the ball, but the way Rory Laird throws himself at every single contest is the sort of thing you can't help but admire, especially from a player of his size. Another 15-16 tackles today. Great win, hope you guys are there in September.

I've gotta say, seeing a group of Adelaide supporters at Newtown station going to a Crows vs Tigers game at Giants Stadium is rather bizarre

Haha, I’m aware of how atrocious those 18 years have been, trust me. I was laughing at the fact that you miserable sods have made it to 114 pages of pure drivel, and your efforts were repaid by us having our best season in years. Again, bravo.

The amount of flags won in that time? Zero each, with one side a whole lot closer to winning their next one than the other.

What’s sad is this whole thread - in particular, the posts from today. I’m glad Melbourne falling over in a Prelim seemingly brought you more joy than the entire season your football club had. Until next year, friends. Hopefully next time you try to ‘death ride’ a team, it doesn’t lead to their...

What sort of pleb needs to hire a set?

Pick 16-18, bravo :clapping: In a year of actually getting enjoyment out of football again, this thread was the highlight. Thank you.

10/10, would read again.

Well, it was about as hard to decipher as when he speaks, so forgive my error.

And this is relevant to the Lever situation, how? If you look through my posting history, you’ll see that I’ve been hanging around the Lever thread/s for a couple of months and have actually been quite amicable.

And considering Viney’s old man works in the football department, I highly doubt Lever’s contract would be coming as a surprise to Jack.

Your first mistake was listening to the utter garbage that comes out of Ricky Nixon’s mouth.

That’s almost as funny as the Petracca suggestion.

Blokes like Jack Riewoldt, Brandon Ellis, Jason Castagna, Alex Rance, Dylan Grimes and Daniel Rioli would put the fear of god into anybody. Jake must be sweating at the thought.

The club would be expecting to have to pay up for those three - Hogan is already on big money, and the other two are givens. They wouldn’t be making a play at Lever otherwise.

Then why would you want to go outside your pay structure for one of our blokes? Not to mention none of those three are South Australian, so I don’t see why they would move interstate for less money. Inb4 “play for a successful club” - we have those in Victoria, too.

But according to you guys, the reason you’re losing Lever is money? How are you going to afford the likes of Petracca, Hogan, Oliver etc then?

Read earlier posts. Melbourne are not based at Casey. We are across the road from the MCG at AAMI Park.

Except we’re not based at Casey, we’re literally across from the MCG at AAMI Park. Don’t think he’ll be lining up for our VFL team very often.

Good luck today. You all deserve this after what your club has been through. Give them hell!

You guys have been mostly reasonable so far (bar the Petracca nonsense last week), but surely you don't think we're going to give up two first round picks and Watts for Lever? You'll end up being adequately compensated - we're more than fair at the trade table usually. Getting two first...

Lol. Why not add Mackay to the deal and we'll kick in Petracca.

I'd take that.

Excellent ball-winner, tackles hard and is good in close. But yes, his kicking has regressed substantially which is disappointing. Was a silky left footer and kicked quite a few goals as a junior and in his first year with us, but doesn't hit targets with regularity now. Seems as his inside game...
