They all had a bit of a bump at 3 quarter time?

Ha - can anyone remember?

We've all kept the receipts from that fateful night GG

Re: Melbourne Watch 2023

It seems that they found some very interesting outgoing texts from Smith to other players. I'm more interested in the replies they found.

And the coach?

Fast Mokbel is a speed king but can go missing at the drop of a hat. Best is behind him.

I could have cracked the Mokbel case in 5 seconds. His Stephen Pappas passport was as obviously fake as his rug in the photo - no wog spells Steven with a 'ph', we keep it strictly simple with 'v'

Re: Melbourne Watch 2023

And the coach?

Nah, he was far too angry about the situation to even talk to Smith, or was it the fact Smith got caught? Hmmmm.

Apparently Max needs hair tests to tell him if the club he leads has a drug culture:

“No culture is ever fixed, I know ‘Trac’ [teammate Christian Petracca] has said this heaps, we are always working on it. In terms of the actual drug culture, the expression that is being used, I go back to that original comment – until someone tells me the hair tests that we have done are proving that we have a drug culture, that is the only marker that we have. In my 10 years, no one has told me we have a drug culture.”


What a croc of shit.

Easy to say when you are bald, unless they can do beard testing (test results have come in - good news is you aren't on drugs, unfortunately you are an inner city wanker with a predilection for graffiti infested laneways, boutique craft beer and artisan bakeries)

Gosh. And to think we dispatched Hunter there for a fReSh StArT ...

Re: Melbourne Watch 2023

To me it reads basically the same.

At least Talia had the sense to say his phone was lost.

The burden of proof is different from what I've read.

Brayshaw has retired due to concussion issues. Very sad to see and a big blow to their team.

That's a sad way to end, guy who ended his career got to win a flag.

I think a lot more will retire this way. At his peak was a very good footballer.

Re: Melbourne Watch 2023/24

That's a huge blow for Melbourne but the right decision for him to protect his long term health as much as possible

Re: Melbourne Watch 2023/24

Gee if anything can go wrong it is going wrong at Melbourne. Sad for Brayshaw hoping it doesn’t affect him in the future.
If Oliver’s problems are nothing sinister, that’s two important players for them having issues Health wise .
And the Smith thing another layer on top of that, a world of pain at the moment.
Be a real interesting season coming up but I still think they are a good side.
