I would have love to have asked why we had such poor durability in 2021.

And why we were so generally unfit over the first three months of the season.

I'll never forget BJ for the Granny in 2010. No other way to put it. f****** massive.

54 years.

Easy target. Easiest of targets.

In those 54 years, most of that, off field has been full of self important flogs using the club as a vehicle for their own agenda's.

Watson is right. 100% right.

We have, more often than not, had the wrong people in charge of the place.

The run of injuries... or the run without injuries that Melbourne had this year is quite impressive.

No kidding.

But we dont have picks 1 to 5 do we. We dont have anyone tradeable that would generate one of those picks either.

So you work with what you have and pick the best available.

And dont sook about what the last bloke did six years back.

Draft some young mids. Pick nine must go on a midfielder or we should burn the place down. If any of the NGA kids are worth a damn we should invest if we can on the cheap. Listening to our list manager the other day I think he knows that Bing is out of the equation. We need a legit preseason. Fitnes...

I dont think it will happen.

GC will want too much for it.

We need a better midfield.

In the first half it looked like Mr Beige took their goalkicking during the week.

"Good Guy" policy remember.

Too many flogs float through our club and make asshat decisions like this.

It is just repeatedly our downfall.

Pretty close to the last of the Richo era out the door. Good player, but not good enough to carry a midfield. I dont blame Ratten at all for thinking Dunstan was not our future. Dunstan is quite similar to what Ratten was like as a player but not as good. I also dont blame Dunstan for feeling somewh...

There are too many things that dont fit for mine. 1. He's too old to be throwing a 600k+ x 4 year deal at. 2. We have several players around his age and experience that it dilutes his impact on the list. 3. What impact will it have on younger players coming in. At his price, you are obliged to play ...

Ross is a good player.
Billings is a good player.
Dunstan is a good player.

All three can cut it at the highest level.

Are all three in the same side going to get you a flag?

No they are not.

Good interview with him on the Unpluggered podcast.

I think he said that the Sheldon/Hudson crew were seen to be getting a bit too powerful.... But I could be wrong.

Always thought Hickey had the most upside. Was the better footballer over Billy. Much better. It was a curious decision to move him on over Longer. Perhaps the penny finally dropped for him at Sydney, or perhaps the environment just suits him. Who knows? A couple of clubs have moved him on, perhaps ...

Should also be said that if King had of kicked straight he would have torn that game apart.

Huge game.

Definitely winnable.
Bring that pressure again. We must bring that pressure.

Surely we couldnt kick for goal that poorly three weeks straight.

He definitely rushes.
Needs to take his due time.
Get his breathing back since he looks gassed most of the time.

Get a routine.

All these yips could do with some good old fashioned Stewart Loewe non negotiable routine.

He's torching his career.

He really is.

I've started collecting the indiginous guernseys.

This one looks mint IMO.

Seriously Benny.

This is going to be a monumental hiding.

Out of all his games they pick this one??

Seriously.

No.

Just.

No.

This year has been one monumental clusterbuck. Jones, like Hannas, needs to get his body right. These niggling soft tissue injuries are the difference between top teir and didly squat. He has a durability issue. Something within his prep, or training, or whatever just is not right. As for replacemen...

At training today.

Long term.
