It is sad Redleg that the enjoyment in my Mondays is now down to sandwich fillings.

I can only dream of alternatives during the Footy season

I think your mondays will improve when we get our forward line back and /or you eat twice as many sandwiches.

    I think that banana sandwiches will need to be on the menu every Monday because I cannot see the MFC improving this side of the mid year break.

    You know you can buy those banana chips, they are quite tasty and will take your mind off the footy.

    Spare a thought for me. On monday I tape all of the footy shows and watch them, Classified, 360, Couch, Talking Footy, Open Mike and it is hard to do when you lose, which we almost always do.

    I can.

    Only if we get our forwards back.

    I honestly believe if we have our best side playing, we are now not that bad.

    I liken it to therapy. Sometimes it's cleansing. Depends upon the magnitude of the loss though. I think tonight will be more cleansing. More positives to take out basically.

    I agree. And I'm happy with the decision on Tyson. Very happy.

    But I think we can make more improvements in the meantime. More risks, lowering eyes without our tall timber forwards, and quicker decision making - less hesitation.

    I'd like if we had our best back 6 in too.

    I noticed Damian Barrett put the boots in again on the Sunday Footy Show. Hutchy reminded him that we had no forward line available and lost 2 before quarter time. I am convinced he has a clear dislike for the Dees.

    He should focus on how much North have ramped up their FD and if it's working. Maybe he could put together something good, seeing they've been tipped for top 4 by many and the fact their club has high expectations!

    Speaking of the blowtorch, wouldn't mind the Swans bouncing back against the Pies this week.

    Would love to see the Pies remain on the bottom after two rounds....

    That might be our spot.

    That may well be true. I'm hopeful of McDonald and Garland getting up. And perhaps Viney.

    Why can we only recruit bad or injured players?

    Glad your're online F l o g g er. I'll give you chance to regain your technological credentials, which you lost when you were unable to advise me about changing my browser. (or would it be more correct to update a browser).... Anyway it seems, no matter what I try, that I cannot upload images to this site. The explanation is that they are too large ( I've heard that before). Any clues?

    H_T

    Surely you are dagging us!

    Garland has not even been in normal training for two months and Viney has played part of one game and had concussion two weeks ago after missing about four weeks of pre season training.

    I would think he needs two weeks at Casey minimum before appearing at AFL level.

    Things must be desperate up Romsey way when you start asking IT advice to a guy on a footy forum. Do you want Dr Mubutu to give you advice on your heart procedure?

    Don't tell Moonie but I have some experience in the IT area.

    Well it seems Moonie was correct. I extend the hand of friendship and you rebuff and insult me F L o g. What a vindictive and ugly world we live in. I shall seek solace with a clacker at the Gat.

    Well that's what I would expect from Borewood. BTW your comment about hayseeds and emesis did not go unnoticed.

    Anyway, I'll ask Stuie for IT advice.

    • 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.
