I think everyone is missing a major factor to come out of the Melb, Rich , game.

Jamer back, hitting the ball to Maloney and first use of the ball

On most occassions the pressure is straight back onto the opposition.

This is where it all starts.

Add the improvement and committment that is now being showed by the MFC players and yes we can stand up to some extra pressure.

To me this Friday night is a very Important Game!

At Ethiad Stadium, against a once powerful side that is in a form slump, plus our record at Ethiad, adding the fact we have now put two wins together, after such a up and down rollercoaster season and this game to me will be a defining moment and game for the MFC for this season one way or the other.

If we win there is no doubt in my mind the MFC has taken a major step forward, and I believe Bailey will hold on as coach for at least for one more year (obviosuly as long as the rest of the season doesn't fall apart).

However if we get thumped then we have failed to take a badly needed step.

Of the hard games coming up, Melb.is expected not to win any of them in most football pundits eyes.

A win over Footscray this Friday night I am sure will change this perception.

Lets hope the Dees lift another cog for everyones sake, it would be fantastic to see and would be a real reward for effort.

Wow cool story, Hansel.

Another amazing post from the master.

Hey, I'm just glad some of you numbskulls are beginning to recognise what has really been pretty bloody obvious for some time now.

Carry on.

No, we play higher risk, higher reward than other teams.

I see what you're saying here and agree to an extent.

I think by virtue of our inexperience turnovers and structural breakdowns hurt more now than they will in the future.

I think by virute of our inexperience turnovers and structural breakdowns occur more now than they will in the future.

I think as we get older, stronger, and more experienced as a unit, and Bailey gets better at match day coaching, the turnovers and structural breakdowns will become less frequent and we'll develop the consistency we're looking for.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
