It only Collingwood, their size is extra small.While Melbourne is extra large. It not a fair comparison.

Daydream Believer was one of my favourite Monkees songs. In fact I’m humming the song as I write. 

And it was a nice bottle of red.

My confidence is back to zero DF. This club has half a century history of disappointing fans and I see nothing that will change my mind. Every week I have been  waiting for yesterday's result. In previous weeks our improved skill level has won us games but yesterday we saw the MFC do the normal, lose a game that their skill level should have won by 10 goals. The tradition continues.

The Monkees !!! FMD you were dead then

On the news and in the papers there’s been much ado about Geelong potentially losing 900k if no crowds at Friday’s game. Yet, I haven’t seen a scrap of reporting about our (twice as much) loss to date. I wouldn’t have known about it had I not read it on DL.

There a difference between home and away games and finals footy. We don't know how we will play in finals yet. But its not a bad thing to lose a few home and away games, as long as we keep beating Messydrugs and the Filth! 

However our long term plan to win number 13 has been to wait 100 years since our last GF win. I still feel we are on track so no need to panic.

Uncle Bitter you need to change your music selection to the 21 century, otherwise people may consider you to be a old fart! We would not want that to happen as your picture makes you look so young.

Don't panic.

We lost by under two goals, without another key forward, kicking badly for goal, losing the clearances, with several players badly out of form, our worst pressure half of the year and getting some poor umpiring, to a side that was desperate to win to make the 8.

We can get back to our best again.

Pity it will be after the 2021 AFL Grandfinal.

I think OD comments are sounding correct to me. Bring on the 2022 AFL season!

I am obviously older than i think.

There was a quiz show in the sixties called the Coles $64 question.

Top Prize was believe it or not 64 pounds.

So a difficult question was often referred to as the $64 question.

So my question to you I guess was when will we get back to our best?

Answer. When we get back to maximum effort and pressure, a settled competent forward line, good goal kicking and decent inside 50 disposal.

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
