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.

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!

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.

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.

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?

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.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
