Ha. Comparing Carlscum to the MFC. They at least know how to win & were always going to recover.

Hide your head in a paper bag if you wish Nasher. This club of ours is in serious trouble.

I knew trying to apply a little rationality and analysis to the inane would be wasted, but you can't blame a man for trying.

    Why dont you lend him yours? Its protected you from all manner of awareness in the AFL and media.

    Well proven on the wasted front.

    The fact is we're one win away from a rosy future. Don't let things get you down, buddy. Look for what's wrong with the place, but don't become overly pessimistic.

    The MFC should tank because we suck and we need good new players before we become fitzroy 2

    We don't need to.

    We are playing badly enough trying to switch to winning the hard ball, & just being responsible for an opponent.

    We are struggling enough with these issues alone, & apparently the old school don't like the new hard work ethic being put through the club.

    Sorry, which is it? Care to get that right?

    We suck.......... OR we should tank......

    The 2 are kind of mutually exclusive.

    Dumb & lazy older senoior players. spoilt, spoilt, spoilt! & soft.

    I hope we are tanking, At least there would be a reason for playing crap football with no heart or intensity.

    I think Neeld is rebuilding the list in his own image, and that begins with learning to dominate the contested footy, before they move onto the next facet of the game.

    It's not working now, but I think this ignorance of uncontested footy is very intentional.

    These games, although worth 4 points, are like practice matches for us where we are working on a certain aspect and getting it right before we move onto the next.

    If this is what is happening, it is very different, and it's well beyond me whether it will work or not.

    Here's hoping.

    It's funny I was just discussing this with my ol man tonight ([censored] making me barrack 4 Melbourne many lean years ago) trying to reason with him as to why Neeld was the right man still after WC game last week. Tonight I couldnt help but agree with him, we were in it yday albeit 1 f'n qtr that cost us dearly, I thought Neeld was testing us and trying to build a resolve in these players, but 4 f's sake, why wouldn't you stem the flow in the 3rd qtr , try to frustrate a 2nd rate team like Richmond which aren't on the improve let me tell you, and perhaps have a sniff at 3qtr time I ask you. I'm concrned this guys tearing us all a new [censored] and it's going to take a Lot longer than 5 yrs to rebuild. I'm sorry guys but I proceeded to go home in the 3rd like most sorrowful MFc supporters soul which I never do to spend more time with my son (the future)! stuff wasting my weekends on this horse [censored]. My messgAe to the players is , get their [censored] togetheer and if they don't it doesn't matter they'll just move to another club and round n round the freakin circus we go.... Local football here I come, Except I'll be there this Sunday

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
