Absolutely pathetic from the Rebels. 68% possession 79% territory and their first trip into their 22 we give up 7. Show some heart

Fuck me this is comical, even when we are on top in the game we some how manage to not score

I wanted to go but had nobody to go with this week. Watching on the TV, watched the women for the first time and hopefully the blokes can be inspired. Showed a lot of fight was impressive

Look I don’t disagree, it is a similar trait to the Swans. Just look at Josh Kennedy. We can all agree the Rebels suck haha

It wasn’t until the last 10 years with the birth of GWS and the invention of the Swans and Giants academy got going. Before then their local talent was very low

The Swans have no edict to grow the game either, yet they do now 25% of their contracted players are locals. For mine the Swans have the perfect balance between growing the game in Sydney and being successful on the park

Matt To'omua to stay at 10 FMD. Enough is enough

Well the tigers did not maintain stronger support that’s why the club died along with all the other Victorian NBL clubs and had to be rebranded Melbourne United The popularity of rugby in Melbourne is fine fans just don’t like the Rebels. Most blokes I have met through grass roots union here...

No doubt the Storm are good, but Sydney is sustainable they are producing their own elite talent from Sydney then developing them at a senior level. Yes I know it was only since GWS and Gold Coast came in that the AFL really looked to push participation growth up there but what Sydney is doing...

To be fair to the Tahs the front of your jersey would come at a higher price tag

And you completely missed the point. Yes every kid in Melbourne loved the Tigers when Gaze was there but 10 years or so after they are no more. The organisation needed to be bailed out and rebranded. When they were rebuilt into winners fans came back The victory fans disappear as soon as they...

The interest is there if they win. Simple build a successful side and the fans will come back. We are second tier sport here in Melbourne, the Victory were terrible last year and they were getting terrible crowds, they are winning again and the fans are back. The Melbourne tigers were a...

Not really, the Swans do it better than the Storm. They may not have won as many comps but they are bringing locals through and have always been a competitive side

Look there is low interest in the Rebels. My only mates who are normally keen are leaving Friday for a weekend away. I was meant to be away with them but had a family thing on the Sunday so had to pull out

And that would no longer be the case. Just because things failed in the past doesn’t mean they can’t work now

Unfortunately it will probably be the first game since 2018 I don’t go to this week. Can’t give a free ticket to anyone

The year was never about win loss it was about progress as stupid as that sounds Look at the Force they are 1-2 only beating us but you can see the improvement. Yet for us there are more questions then answers

Mate we haven’t always agreed but as a kid who once played Rugby in Vic I am that bloody proud of every bloke that comes out of Melbourne and plays pro rugby. Even if it’s not at the Rebels/Wallabies It’s more I heard from mates that most of the rising squad moved to Queensland or NSW to play...

Look I understand that is a huge issue, it’s just you can see the toll on club rugby losing the Rising has had on the Dewar Shield. Maybe it’s something they look at bringing back if they finalise this PE deal

That’s the one issue though with the demise of the NRC, if you don’t automatically get a contract out of the pathways you look to leave to a stronger comp. It puts a drain on numbers and talent We need the rising back so the local lads have something to aspire to
