I love this club! We're back baby!

When the MFC can win two or more games in a row and not lose to a team like saint Kilda, then the MFC may be back.

But until then as one game means very little, however it is a pleasing start.

 

It should be about slow incremental improvement across the journey from here on out. We'll still have our bad weeks though. Particularly, with a number of youngsters playing in our 22. I think we can beat anyone outside of the top 5 or so teams in the league if we turn up to play. That's a good start and from where we're coming, within a season and a half under PR, that's a damn near miracle.

4-8 at the same stages this year and last. Difference is it feels like underachieving whereas last year was overachieving

We've built 3 weeks of really good form into the bye after an inconsistent first 9 games. Uncertain about our next match, but Rounds 15-17 is suddenly looking like a great chance for 3 in a row


Sure, it's only one game, and we've only won 4 - against that, 3 of the 4 wins have come against teams that are above us on the ladder, and to win against Geelong at Geelong is more than solid, no matter how you read it.

The return matches against St Kilda and the Giants will be interesting, but surely 4 wins from the remaining 10 shouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility.

I love this club.

I must admit, however, that I'm weary. I'm weary of looking for positives where there are few. I realise that we'll get through this period. But it just gets weary.

Argh!!

15 months later and absolutely nothing has changed.

Depressing to think that this was written nearly two years ago - and things have only gotten worse.

Timeline^ - 45HG, sticking fat through the last several years, we can get through anything. Easy to do when you love the club!

A while back someone here suggested there'd be a tipping point. Well, the answer is - it's dependant on how resilient you are.

I'd suggest Melbourne supporters are the most resilient. Then again, other supporters would suggest otherwise. [censored] 'em.

Enjoy what is coming I say.

Your heart beats true.

Boooo!

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
