A snapper or a flathead?

    The consensus amongst commentators (apart from that stroker Duh-Wayne) is that the MFC have the most promising set of youngsters.

    I reckon Jesse knows this too.

    Don't know about that mate, extremely bold statement!

    The consensus among comentators? it would go something like this IMO:

    1. GWS

    2. Gold Coast

    3. Western Bulldogs

    4. St Kilda

    5. Melbourne

    lol, it's not what i believe. Just the impression I've got from listening to people in the media.

    You've made my day Bub.

    Heard from the axiomatic 'reliable source' that Roosy is currently walking around with a smile he just can't wipe of his face. Apparently he is pretty chuffed at landing another 'big fish', which will be announced when the time is right.

    I just hope my 'reliable source' is correct.

    You have just raised the expectations of all demonlanders. I was getting depressed over the silence at Melbourne. Now I am excited. If this is a rumour and not fact, you will be tracked down and shot at dawn or slowly tortured.

    I hope Hogan is just guessing about where Frost will be playing in 2016.

    He's far more suited to the back-line.

    We beat 3 of those sides and lost to the other by 2 points.

    Apart from the Dogs, there's not a great deal in it.

    I was merely suggestinv how foolish the media are. Not having a go at yoyrself.

    My point is simply...the dynamics of lists now as compared to final lodgement can be quite different.

    Ours will be :)

    Do I get a last wish?

    Of course you do ivá. Given the consequences of a wrong prediction, your last wish is obvious I would have thought. Perhaps Roosy was smiling with the thought of getting away from Melbourne and landing the big fish in the waters off Hawaii. Of course if your prediction is right, you will go from martyr to hero straight away.

    Not my prediction Ernest. It comes from my 'reliable source'

    i'va, you mentioned earlier the 'big fish' player responsible for Roos' 'cheshire cat' type smile will be revealed when the time is right.

    Can you tell us roughly when that will be...the anticipation is killing me!

    Thanks iv'a...does that mean he is be playing this weekend :rolleyes:...rhetorical question!

    Whoever it is we are doing a damn good job of keeping it quiet!

    BTW I did hesitate posing that rhetorical question for fear it will set all the DL's player wishes off the scale.

    Then I thought 'what the heck' it gives people a new line of speculation for the next few weeks!

    I once predicted the fall of the Roman Empire. Seriously, I have no information other than what my snout gave me. That's all.

    on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being 'Paul Roos' and 1 being 'some random down at the pub' what score would you give your source? :D

    On tippin winners at the races, I give him a big fat zero. On his footy connections, I'd give him a 7

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
