    Another tough night sleep for Travis.

    There are plenty of reasons to forgive the players.

    The coaching and development teams from the years of 2007-2013 have proven to be the worst in AFL history. Mark Neeld, our most recent messiah cannot even get a job as a line assistant coach. How a board elected him to lead our whole club is a farce. Sadly, the players who have developed to be high grade footballers are the ones who force themselves success.

    Jones and Frawley are literally the only two.

    We may never know how good the above mentioned players are, and we have ourselves to blame for that. Petterd is a perfect example of a player, widely consider a dud here, who run around with a 90,000 crowd in the middle of September due to a team who used his potential.

    This Site is nothing without outlandish statements, but I'll be gobsmacked if im not sitting here next year praising Roos for catapulting Strauss well beyond the 'good average footballers' of Clisby and Terlich.

    I guess we will wait and see.

    Arrow - I guess though some here will be calling for Roos' sacking mid year if we "lose a few games". Such is the nature of a blog site like this.

    Obviously MFC supporters will notice injuries to our players and groan about it, but we'll take less notice of injuries in other teams. Has anyone actually analysed the data over all clubs to show we are particularly injury prone?

    lies

    played 61 games in 10/11/12

    and how much footy are you supposed to play in your first two years anyway, was he even injured or just developing in the twos?

    show some respect to your fellow posters and do your homework

    Spent all of 2007 and half of 2008 out with a knee injury before playing his first game.

    Perhaps you should practice what you preach.

    Strauss better than Clisby and Terlich ?

    Buckleys.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.
