    And bb...... further to the above...... I believe  @Redleg  has been overindulging in the delights of Redtube.

    Can you actually “overindulge “?

    We need to take the AFL to task for fixturing us in WA and 6 days later in Adelaide and then 5 days after Anzac day playing again all within first 7 rounds. Pretty rough. I didn’t mention Geelong again, like every other year, either.

    Go back and read BBO’s earlier posts and you will work it out very easily. The responses give it away.

    Awww, I’ve still got your back and always will. 🥰

    Anyways, what’s wrong with being a nut-job? Or is it the combination of nut-job and redhead? Asking for a redheaded nut-job of a friend.

    Fremantle also travelled to Adelaide twice 2 weeks (also off a 6 day break). We should not be using this an excuse for losing to Essendon.

    Just for the record, Fremantle spent the week in Adelaide but I agree travel isn't an excuse.  The club chose to catch the red eye back from Perth, apparently at the players' request.  Maybe next time they rethink that.

    Goody’s comments suggest they will rethink it, if it happens again.

    I'm surprised the sports science staff thought it was a good idea to catch the red eye knowing there was a flight/game to Adelaide a few days later.  Sometimes they and coaches should do what is best for the club rather than the players. 

    While acknowledging players want to get home to families etc I doubt half a day makes a lot of difference in most cases.

    Its the Footy season... All decisions and focus ought to be about the game/team.

    Melb Perth Melb Ade Melb !!

    Not a lot of genius happening there.

    Should  not even be a consideration.

    We're not there yet when we can't think like a 100% professional outfit.

    At first I thought getting back here was the only way to go but Binman made a good case for this idea on the pod last night. It's the 1%ers

    Common sense I would have thought.

    At the risk of a pile on I don't listen to the game related podcasts.

    With 6 days it probably was. 

    Nothing wrong with that, we choose what we like for our personal enjoyment.

    Life is full of entrees so don't fill up on bread! 🙂

    Exactly, it's the 1%ers.  This is something that led to our success in 2021 - I'm listening to a podcast interview with Clayton Oliver back in Dec 2021 right now while working.  Clarry said "I didn't change much, my three big rocks after discussing with Goodwin was to train well, sleep well and eat well.  That's all I've focused on this year"

    So the would-be thief would have to pop into Cashies (Cash Converters) to buy a cordless angle grinder that he probs stole the previous day and sold to Cashies. Doesn’t make sense, Daise.

    Tell your friend it happens all the time, Daise. Just recently I was walking into Snorbz Woolies at the same time an undesirable was leaving. Right there on the threshold he says, “wanna buy Gillette razor blades?” I said, “No thanks, but dude, what are you doing? At least walk out of the shop and around the corner or something.” He said, “nah, this way I hit up people who haven’t spent their money yet.” Makes a heap of sense to me.

    LOL I said to the Woolies girl at the self-serve, “Wow. Did you just see that?” She said, “That’s nothing. He asked ME if I was interested in buying it. 😳

    reminds me of a story from years ago

    a friend of my son was working casual at myers during xmas break.  he observed this guy come in and pocket a relatively small but expensive item. he then proceded to the closest checkout counter and tried to return it for a refund. (myers had a very liberal return policy in those days)

    • 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.
