Good work. Always tough to do this week in week out. Vanders was going a lot of enforcing before he was subbed out. Though McDonald picked up once he got off Cloke and worked his way back in - good learning game from him.

Agree that Garlett needs to be in the game for more than 2 minutes.

I'm not sure what sort of statement Lamumba made.

Crazy Horse Lumumba in the first half, unbelievable stuff early. Redeemed himself in the second half somewhat.

I generally look forward to the 3 word descriptions, but this one is just too much. To described jack watts as a "bipolar performances" is absurd, apart from being hugely insulting about this very unfortunate condition. The Regs should censor this immediately

One of my relatives is bipolar, and I can tell you Jack Watts is so far away from bipolar that it is not funny. If this poster is determined to insult our number one draft pick, thereby ensuring he leave, then it may give him varcarious pleasure, but it makes this demon suppiorter extremely angry. All it will do is ensure he leaves. God we shoot ourselves in the foot sometimes.

It's just a word, mate.

that was not what you meant.

If it was, your three word summary was that Watts has a head and feet. Well, come to think of it...

I don't! Comment about Watts and Jack Fitzgerald in very poor taste.

I agree. Both morally objectionable and in any event it makes no sense.

I don't think Tmac is that way inclined "believing own publicity". He got beaten fair and square by a rampaging Cloke. In 8 weeks time we play the Pies again and he gets a chance at redemption.

I'm bipolar and I think the comment is very humorous. Loosen up gang.

I like this list better; although I thought Fitzy will keep his place because his man did nothing. Dunn was OK on Cloke, considering one of his three goals was from a very poor decision. Totally agree that Toumpas is coming along slowly.

The loss to the pies was honourable one,consider they won a premiership in 1990 ( a Roos type comparison everytime we lose).Next year should be good (6-8 wins) Frost,Salem,Petracca,Neal-Bulleen,Kent,M.White,Vanderberg,Stretch all available should improve our

stocks,plus No.3 or 4 draft pick.Who does the club get rid of? The Dees in the past have got rid of players only to be replaced by the same sort of players,we must try harder to get the fringe players up to scratch otherwise we will end up with a relatively inexperience

reserves side and we all know what effect that has on the club in time of senior players getting injured.

Why not 6-8 wins this year? We already have three, have played most of the top of the ladder, have most of the rest of our games against those in the lower half of the ladder. Do you really think we cant get three more wins this year?

I would be disappointed if we didn't beat StKilda at least once (we should win twice), and we should beat Carlton and Brisbane. There is three or four right there.

Chris don't worry about being disappointed with losses that shouldn't happen,as a mfc supporter for 50 yrs I am used to it.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
