Amazing quarter of footy by both sides, has it all.

    THE most intense quarter of COMPETITIVE footy I can recall.....exhausting to watch.

    The club must demand that our guys sit together, as a group without coaches or hangers on at least the first few times, and watch this over and over and over again.

    Amazing intensity, effort, teamwork, courage by both sides. Not one half hearted effort.

    Never let go!

    Learn just what unconditional commitment gets you.

    Wow now thats an exciting game - I wish Neeld was watching (in one quarter they have both scored what we generally score in a whole game)

    15 goals in the first term. Unbelievable!

    And in commentary, Bruce just described Kieran Jack's run as, "jack...off".

    Does it get any better?

    It could have been you Gys .... berts!

    Bruce wasn't watching the footy at that point.

    Watching that little special on Joel Selwood... what a superstar. I wish even a couple of our boys had his fearlessness and work ethic.

    Makes our attitudes look like absolute rubbish. I wonder if Col Sylvia could look Selwood in the eye.

    Been surprised at how bad Bartels disposal has been, must be rooming with Rives and caught the Melbourne disease

    Has Hawkins had a kick? Very quiet.

    Edit. Errr, forget that. 2 goals in a few mins

    It's amazing that every Sydney and Geelong player sprints as soon as they get the ball, Melbourne players jog.

    ....and they even sprint when they don't have the ball, which our guys also must learn from tonight.......IF anyone at our club thinks they could learn from watching two determined, courageous and above all fully committed teams.

    They also run hard when they don't have the ball...

    This is what annoys me, running doesn't take talent. The players either don't think to run (if they are told once that should be enough for their entire career) or they are too lazy.

    Ok this is going to sound like madness..but...

    After watching that game and looking at our list I actually think we should be able to match these teams for effort and intensity. They are human with arms and legs. They just believe in themselves more and have the insatiable hunger to get to contests and help each other. Our players I feel have bought into the psych of we aren't fit enough yet and we are still 'young'. It's total mindset - we should not be 100 point worse team than these sides. Yes we don't have a Selwood or Goodes but we shouldn't be as far off as we seem right now.

    You are totally right in my opinion. In reality, 90 percent of the players in the league can be physically very similarly ranked.

    But it is mostly in the mind... courage, attitude and work ethic... of which ours is [censored].

    I wonder, what kind of sports psych program have we got on down at the MFC?

    Cant stand how McAvaney kept referring to "LRT". Even after he went off injured. So jerky. He seems to have a man crush.

    I agree and have mentioned it before, particularly re Col but other "talents" as well. Do they really WANT to be AFL stars, or would they just LIKE TO be? There is, an enormous difference.

    PYFO and show us, starting tomorrow.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
