I often sit back and watch the footy and wonder if what I see is real sometimes.......My favorite players can seem to do no wrong.....When they handball it to a player 1 metre away or get caught...Its not their fault...no one moved for them....no one spread.....

But if my least fav player does the same thing...he is useless...he should have done that or should have done this....

Sylvia bursts through the pack and stuffs up the kick,I can console myself that at least he got the ball and tried.....If Morton get a handball in the clear and stuffs up the kick....He is useless.......

If Morton(and I only use him as an example as I think he is the least popular player on our list with supporters) gets 4 possessions and stuffs up one....That is the one people remember....Not the three others that went where they were meant to....and set up the play.

We all have our fav players....we all have our players who we for one reason or another we don't like in our team....

What I'm trying to say is that all players make mistakes....but our perception of them differs.

    Unless your favourite player was Matty Whelan and you were able to honestly say that he had 2142 impeccable disposals.

    Funny you didn't say anything about Morton "bursting through the pack", but at least you got his average number of disposals right...

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
