Lets all hope Weid plays well in a winning side and stays in from now on and signs a new contract extension fairly soon.

    It would be nice for him to do well in a winning side and be part of it again. Will help with re signing him.

    I am not holding my breath. But do have my fingers crossed.

    It is a good feeling when players have to fight for a position in the senior side.

    Now you are making me feel hungry Uncle Bitters!

    The Big W was kept goalless so I guess size does not matter.

    It’s Monday after a 9 zero start to the year. But after not attending a game since 2019 I am strangely blasé about the MFC and football. Watching on tv has always been secondary for me. Perhaps now my job is done. Paying memberships and attending games to support the team over 50 years is no longer required. 

    We now seem to have a team that is A grade and will be power for some time, add we are looking good in the financial department and it appears my work is done. I can enjoy not being concerned  about it’s  survival and ignore the AFL in total. Enjoy everyone you deserve it.

    That's quite a morbid take on things old dee.

    You should be jumping for joy.

    I have given him a pass for this week seeing as how he has not played a senior game for nine months but he will need to improve quite a bit next week.

    I thought Weid was buffeted and had his arms chopped every time he went for a mark, same as BB, both without any free kicks while Blues got soft frees all game. That said it wasn’t a great game from Weid and BB was poor. It will take time.

    Based on that game Jackson will have little trouble getting back into the side.

    Yes definitely thought there were two sets of rules in play for the big forwards yesterday. McKay got 2 pretty soft ones awarded for chopping arms that ended in goals but up the other end Weid and Fritsch seemed get similar treatment but play on?

    Weid was okay when he broke away: watch the 3rd quarter.

    Whoever has the worse results, at present that would be the Weid but who knows after next weekends game.

    Both, as he a goal scorer, they are not!

    We got to be cruel to be kind if we want to win that 13 flag.

    OD you need to come to the light!

    You have clearly been in the dark for too long.

    Have you been around any MessyDrug or Collingwood supporters lately? Those guys will always make you feel disconnected. 
     

    You need a grand final win or two for a long term cure. Maybe singing a few lines from It a Grand Old Flag will also help?

    I am surrounded by Shocker and Beagle fans. We just need to stay as strong as we can in the presents of the less fortunate. 
    It not your age that counts but how old you feel and act. Take Uncle Bitters for example, he must be turning 38 this year. A little too young to make a great club president. Remember, the older we get the more grumpier we get, so stay young OD. Spend  more time with your granddaughter and stay young at heart.

    Loved Tracc on 360 tonight being shown washing milk off Chandler, with a bottle of water, after the club song.

    Said he thought it was wrong to throw milk on a player and that it would be harder to clean off the floor.

    Said it was only a 1% er, but that they all counted.

    Said Gawn addressed the team about it.

    The second I saw Chandler being showered with milk on tv (by Clarry of course, who I would totally expect such stupidity from) I though "no, that's not right." I've had those thoughts many times over the years and not seen them be righted. We're not letting those stupid things slip by these days, which is so good to see.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
