I think the Smith Curse is still with us. 

Has any other club lost their most important player? Does any other club have the injury list we have? We lose a game we dominate with poor kicking while the other side can't miss. Similar the next week where we lose by a couple of points after leading with 2 minutes to go and gifting the last goal. Our players get the heaviest suspensions which cost one or both games lost. Ollie continues to dominate. Our so called stars are not starring. Injured players play against us and dominate. Gus injured again.

Etc. 

So nothing has changed?

It is all about the next ALF season.

    Anyone got a spare ruckman at home they don't need?

    I think we're going about this the wrong way trying to find a ruck replacement.

    let's just take out everyone else's ruckman.

    Well a good win after a messy first half. Time to treat myself to a banana smoothie.

    That first half was a shocker - I wonder what caused such terrible disposal from both sides.

    There was no first half. 

    The AFL had an extended pre game show. Unfortunately there was no budget and press ganged the players instead in a very similar way the old 'footy show' of the sixties had a team a week doing a cabaret act that made Fitzroy St look like the Follies Bergere !!

    There was only a 'shortened"  game thereafter....started after the Little league encore ;)

    I was informed by some self important little functionary in the second quarter of the Saints v Dees, when I asked for the air conditioning to be turned on as I was just about to collapse with heat apoplexy in the second quarter, that there was no such thing at Etihad. She ushered me into the St John Ambulance area where it was a fraction cooler at least. I expected to be revived by a gin and tonic taken orally. All I was offered was water. Appalling !!!!!!! No wonder we don't like Etihad !!!!

    Entirely correct - there was no first half.  The little league started an hour early,  but eventually someone realised that they had a mixture of the keystone cops and the benny hill show out there, pulled them off and got the youngsters on, which improved the skill levels by  about 4000%. After that there were two quarters of AFL footy, and then everyone went home.

    I recently queried my internet provider about some incorrect charges. Here is an excerpt from their reply.


    "Our sincere apologies these errors has not been brought to light earlier and amounts had already erroneous been extracted for the uncancelled ADSL services. We will ensure these cancelled for future reference."

    Well that's good .... I think.

    Who was the provider? We should consult them on the deliberate out of bounds rule. They could probanly clear up the confusion.

    Loved the story on the Tigers selections this week, saying they were decimated, as Prestia is out with Nankervis, who was suspended for one week. 

    Two players who weren't on the list last year out ( one for a week suspension ) and they are decimated. Wow!

    • 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.
