Someone said to me during the week that MFC supporters are the biggest bunch of whiners in the AFL. Hard to dispute with some of the comments in this thread. Nate, Tyson, Grimes, Salem, Jetta, Toumpas are running and using the ball well. Our forward set up looks well balanced and dare I say it dangerous with JKH and Jeffy at the big fellas feet. You can only beat what's in front of you. Hoping we put our foot down on their throat in the second half.

That would probably be me, having to 'watch' the game through here, radio and stream because of other commitments

Yes the Dogs are below strength, so Roos message will be to stick to game plan and methods and hopefully smash them

I am getting a mixed bag, but common themes are forward set up is looking good and ball movement has improved, if you can hit a team mate who is open, it doesn't matter who the opposition are, you are practicing getting open

Honestly, how could anyone possibly complain, I know they are under strength (still M.Boyd, Minson, Morris, Bontempelli etc.), but we are absolutely killing them and ball use is very good, especially considering windy conditions. Some people will never be happy.

This quarter will be telling for me.

We have smashed them in the first half and will be cruising. They will want to hit back. And we are kicking against a strong wind.

If we win this quarter I will be very happy with our endeavour.

Loved the work of Toumpas yelling at Watts to kick for goal. Even though he missed it as a forward there is no excuse for not having a shot for goal directly in front from 40 metres out (even with the wind blowing).

Hogan has been in great spots but hasn't managed to quite clunk them.

Loved that. Hogan dropped the mark and JKH crumbed the ball beautifully.

HAHAHA!!!!

Hutchy - "Great mark... Who is it?"

Pickers - "I think it's Viney but we'll have to wait till he turns around"

Hutchy - "Is it Viney? Hard to see from here"

Pickers - "Bloody Oath it is!"

HAHAHA!!! These guys are a cracker! :blink:

Can't say I expected anything less.

Doggies are seriously undermanned. Some positives from a lot of our youngsters.

Grimes, McKenzie, Matt Jones.

The sooner we upgrade, the better.

How does Grimes consistently run team mates into trouble?

Dees butchering it a bit here.

Only started watching five minutes ago and... if I didn't know the scoreline I'd be embarrassed with how we're playing.

Who the hell was Dawes kicking to a minute ago? Caused a turnover then goal. Our defence seem to be running around without any direction at all.

Love Tyson, but struggling to hit a target.

But 80% disposal efficiency. *shrug*

Maybe he is getting it more often than you've noticed? I mean, he has had it more than anyone else on the ground.

I wonder if it is part of MFCSS to only notice who a player is after they've committed a turnover?

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
