Though I detest talking football here... I'll go with state of mind.

Our BRAND.. style is being decimated with withdrawal due to non availability.

My mind is actually quite tempt.

I don't expect much. It's often just that. It's not being.. pessimistic...not mfcss...not anything really;  just realistic. We aren't complete.. We fumble through. We trip

Those who know me here..

A beer on whether we make finals or not ?

Takers ?

I like beer by the way ;)

Alright BB. I don't drink beer, but how about this. If we don't make the finals, I will buy you a beer. If we do make the finals, you buy me the equivalent in bananas.

That is more than enough footy talk for one post in this thread, so I think we should turn to the crucial question of how many bananas is one beer worth ...

    The Crows side looks good on paper. Walker and Mc Govern are big ins. One good out is Doedee, he is a very good player and is their  new Lever.

    Yep, I think people underestimated how weak their side was last time, they were an injury riddled mess.

    I feel your pain 640 MD. Bananas are one of the few fine things left and even those I can only consume in moderation!

    Bananas,   Porridge without milk,   and plain Rice        all bland   but they do not upset my gut.      Unlike Melbourne losing two games in the same season to the same team by a kick after the siren.   upsets me greatly, !

    It is easy to hate umpires if you are a Melbourne supporter. We lose games because of multiple free kick goals awarded to our opponents when we can’t buy one. I watched the Pies Tigers game today and was stunned at the refusal to pay obvious holding the ball frees yet we are penalised as soon as an opponent touches our jumper. It is a joke. Think of the Harmes 50 and goal and listen to the umpires warning players today not to infringe the zone when they already are in it. It is a joke. 

    It just seems to me if you are a club that doesn’t rant in the media you get continually screwed.

    Our club should have spoken up a long time ago, even last year to be honest. The squeaky wheel always gets the oil.

    Would rather 'the consistent umpire gets applauded and deserves another game next week'

    I wonder if BBO whilst Bitter...is still Optimistic ?

    I'm not.

    Of course I'm still Bitter bb you [censored]. In fact you can all shove your banana splits , bowl included, where they will cause the most pain.

    Any more questions as to my Bitterness?

    As to Optimism. I was so [censored] off after last Saturday, I've kept away from this forum, papers , radio etc all week. However, remarkably  we are still in the game.

    It's Saturday night, I'm sober, I'm alone - I reckon we'll win

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
