Getting beaten by the Demons again snapped his brain. He obviously hasn't recovered from losing the Grand Final

^That's OK - the wait for your lukewarm pie is probably a convenient time to do a RAT.

Round 1 games

Cracking opening game . Melbourne will get better as the season progresses, scary thought.

Has Bevo lost his mind? I'll guarantee something is going on with him personally. That presser meltdown was a reaction of a man under duress.

The Dogs not tagging Petracca? What were they thinking.

The Bont is good for football.

What I'd give for us to find a forward like Aaron Naughton.

Great to have the footy back.

Laurie, we could've had Aaron Naughton. All we had to do was draft him at the end of 2017. Instead we drafted Stephenson, which looked really good when he won the rising star in 2018.

But, we know what happened.

It wasn't ever really a likely option, though, was it? The previous administration mostly didn't use high picks on forwards. Stephenson was selected to be a mid and happened to be a skilled goalkicker. Generally, we spent a decade trying to turn cast-offs and low draft picks into KPFs. This is why we had players like Q-Lynch, Jesse White etc and now sport a forward line containing Mihocek and Cox and/or Cameron.

And will be hoping that Krueger is the great white hope as CHF.
Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!

Beveridge is still traumatised by the GF loss. It takes more than just saying "it's in the past and I've moved on" You actually have to work through it.
