We all know we have to change the clubs culture to a FireBrand.

We all know we have to get the Mids to be better and Win the clearences.

So we have to all pull together and clingon for the hard yards needed, to get this ship moving out of the Dock.

The engineroom needs an overhaul & a cleanup/out.

Neelds the Captain & Diesel mechanic, & he has the blue prints.

Anyone else fed up with the word "elite"?

I'm fedup with Melbourne not being considered one of those sides.

And if this was the team on this Weakend, >

Melbourne

B: Joel Macdonald, James Frawley, Clint Bartram

HB: Rohan Bail, Jared Rivers, Colin Garland

C: Jack Watts, Jack Grimes, Nathan Jones

HF: Jack Trengove, Brad Green, Jeremy Howe

F: Aaron Davey, Mitch Clark, Stef Martin

FOLL: Mark Jamar, Brent Moloney, Jamer Magner

I/C: Matthew Bate, Jordie McKenzie, Sam Blease, Josh Tynan

changes required to stiffen things Up.

Maybe 5 changes > McDonald Morton Couch Sellar Bennell

No not at all. Elite is a word the MFC needs to learn as a basic mantra. Until it becomes second nature.

Yes dee-luded. I closed my eyes this morning, drew a long deep breath..........relaxed, and with that, accepted where we're at. "Whatever it takes" is our mantra, we will stay the course.

As supporters we're the lucky ones, all we have to do is support, the Club though, has a monumental amount of work needed for success and we need to support that effort.

We will stay the course.

This is how bad things are right now- I would have scoffed at Morton and Bennell being suggested as changes. Now I'm like whateves- ring in the changes, it can't get much worse can it?

sometimes changes are whats needed to make these boys realise they are in fact competing with one another for the spots.

Change Davey Out for a Bennell or Strauss.

Green to the Interchange/Sub: spot... shot over the Bow of HMAS Green.

Blease out for a strong body please. Let Bail, & Bennell or Strauss provide some run.

It's like a swear word, the more it is repeated the less impact it has.

Only if you refuse to take it on board fully. Talk is cheap yes, but elite actions are not and can never be.

Gee dee-luded two of that three are great options

Bennell is as bad as Blease and Strauss is still coming back from a terrible broken leg.

Swapping Bennell for blease is shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic

I think Bennell plays Subico well so I'd include him.

(Yep, clutching at straws)

Your right, exactly, but only because their learning. and Bennell has to learn to put his head over the ball.

But the Worst thing that can happen is that Blease also learns the half hearted ways,

So my post is to use the selection table to frequently make changes the Very second someone takes a short step, or fails to put their body inline with the ball or player.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
