1. The excitement that Liam Jurrah brings to the M.C.G

2. Our ability to no longer cop 10 goal hidings.

3. James Frawleys ability to dominate almost anyone he plays on.

 

1. Colin Sylvia

2. Piranha 3-D

3. Mark Jamar

 

1. How we play against the Filth

2. James Frawley

3. The future

1. James "The Bull" Frawley

2. Some of our transitional passage from half back

3. Jack Scullgove


Liam Jurrah

Playing Collingwood

Jack Trengove's goal against adelaide...straight over the head of the Adelaide cheer squad...Put us in front. Thanks very much. B)

1. Uncovering a number of potential elite players

2. Inspirational Jim Stynes

3. Upgrade in facilities

 

1. Petterd

2. Reliable and dominant backline for the first time in my life.

3. Wonna and Jurrah returning from injury and retaining their spots til year's end. Particularly Jurrah's ability to play only 8 games, but kick 21 goals and come 3rd in the goalkicking. I think this one was a big deal for me because I really thought the bubble might burst and that his amazing first 10 games might have had a fair portion of ass to them. But no. Even with a pretty hardcore injury, and pretty low fitness (he disappeared in the last quarter against the Roos) he still managed to have as much of an impact as you could ask for.

1. Lynden Dunn's moustache

2. Lynden Dunn

3. Lynden Dunn's moustache again (so awesome it deserves a second mention)


1. Scullys ability to burst from a pack.. his kicking will come good and wow just wow

2. Jurrah.. its feels so good to have other clubs supporters to comment on how good he is, instead of ribbing us all the time

3. The Club.. it was a bit of 'meh' club off the field, but now everything is coming together and im loving it!

1. Scully's work off the ball.

2. Frawley's superior judgement, and how he reads the way he needs to play each situation perfectly.

3. The Jurrah-Aussie combo. The epitome of synergy.

(can I add a fourth? Lynden Dunn's tache, not to mention his renaissance)

1. Chip (and anyone who doesn't say they did too is lying!)

2. Our "instant" forward line (Dunn, Green, Ricky early on, Wona later, Jurrah, Watts up high)

3. The quick transition from "ROBBBBOOOOOOOO!!!" to "JURRRRAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!"


1. James 'Chip' Frawely - that neck deserves a postcode. Love this bloke.

2. The Big Rush - Jamar carried the ruck duties through every game, you could see him tiring. Great credit

3. Optimism - the club is full of it and it's been fantastic to take that feeling to every game this season.

1. The Frawley/Grimes combo forming down back

2. The Scully/Trengove combo forming in the middle

3. The Jurrah/Wonna combo forming up forward!

1. Jordie McKenzie

2. Not being beaten by 10 goals once

3. Lack of debt

Beaten to it ^^. For Geddy Lee;

1. Frawley - been a long time since we saw a defender of his ilk at the MFC. Fast, strong, smart, a long accurate kick and not afraid to kick a goal. Will win our B&F and I absolutely love him.

2. Scully - been a long time since we saw a midfielder of his ilk at the MFC. Incredible tank, tenacity, focus, speed and drive. Lives to play football for the MFC and will improve dramatically.

3. Jurrah - incredibly unpredictable. Can leap over 200cm opponents, yet can also get the crumbs and burst away from everyone. Perfect kicking action and incredibly accurate from any angle, whether it be snap, drop punt or miscellaneous. Never panics and always looks to have time. Great at losing his opponent. I could go on.

These three blokes are the reason I went to nearly every game we played in Melbourne this year!


1. Frawley - I don't think i've ever had more confidence in any defender to come through the club

2. Jurrah - Excitement machine, will generate public interest in the Dees and hopefully the youth

3. Debt free - How sweet it is!

Edited by Pates

1. The big get f'd to everyone who said we should have merged – just generally the passion and commitment shown by the board/jimmy/schwaby/bails

2. New facilities - which should see our appalling injury rates decline

3. New Talents - some of them we knew we had (tommy and trenners), and the ones we’ve unearthed (“junior junior”, dunny, chip, jurrah and hopefully tappy and blease)

1. JMac number one (classy "retiree")

2. JMac number two (at the bottom of every pack like he's digging for gold)

3. JMac number three (Brisbane reject? I think not!)

 

1 The Great Wall (Chip being a major component; Grimes special mention too)

2 The Emblem !

3 The Foundation Members and everyone who helped wipe the debt. That means you guys ! :wub:

1. The fact I have more than 3 things to put on this list.

2. all of the above in this thread.

3. Mo's for all underated players if Dunne is any guide.

(Jimma the love afffair started long ago, you are a legend of the club and life.)

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
