Wow, that should have been a 60-100 point loss, can't believe that it was that big of a disparity.

I didn't know Deledio was out - it's amazing how awful Richmond are without him. Look at the stats - CPS 151-118, tackles 73-55, clearances 50-27. Those are horrendous numbers.

Perfect ladder: Melbourne 1st, Richmond 9th, North Melbourne 17th, Essendon 18th. Fill in the blanks.

1 Melbourne, 9 Richmond, 14 Essendon, 15 Carlton, 16 Sydney, 17 Geelong, 18 Hawthorn.

That would do me nicely.

How about

1 Melbourne

16 Collingwood

17 Hawthorn

DQ Essendon

Really missed lids, but inconsistency is an issue, i really think they bought into the hype.

INCONSISTENT BASTERDS by JVM

So it's not just us and North who are inconsistent. It's most of the competition.

Richmond beats Hawthorn one week and loses to Adelaide the next. I reckon there's a fair chance that the Hawks will give the Eagles a beating in Perth tonight.

It's one of the more interesting features of our game that you can't take anything for granted except maybe that the MFC always loses at Etihad :lol:

What a great concept.Isnt good to see a reserves curtain-raiser being played at the MCG. What a great idea to allow 2 of the powerhouses of the AFL who's home ground is the "G", to being allowed to churn up the "G" when nobody any other time wouldn't even be allowed to walk on it.

What if the heavens opened up between these 2 games? I do believe there might be a AFL game being played on Sunday.

My guess is that who gives a shite about that.


Perhaps if we ask Eddie, we might be able to play a reserves game one day there as well. I seem to recall something about us being the original tenants.Perhaps I am mistaken. Anyway carry on, Collingwood 2nds Vs Northern Blues, followed by the Filth and the bluebaggers.


It must be eating awy at him being named the MELBOURNE Cricket Ground, I am sure he will want it renamed in the near future.

Felt sick listening to 3AW today. Eddie, DeGoey, all commentators talking up how poor Collingwood's performance was last week, looking for answers as to why their club is playing "so badly."

  • Eddie said their team is decent against middle-tier players, but when you don't bother to turn up then, "you lose to a team like Melbourne, simple as that."
  • DeGoey said the players didn't bother showing up last week because they expected the win to just happen against us.
  • Lloyd said Collingwood were a rabble last week who simply allowed us all the space and time in the world to dance around their players.

Can someone call out these asshats for once and give us some credit, please?! Geelong in Geelong, Collingwood, Richmond, Bulldogs... I suppose all 4 of those teams just "didn't bother showing up."

A Reserve game on QB should happen although we need a stand alone MFC side before i would be satisfied, and as PJ said last week the Casey deal is up for renewal in 2018

So wait we must.

On the back of those comments might be supporting Carlton against the Pies for the first time ever.

Horribly arrogant attitude for a first year player in DeGoey. If that's representative of their thinking then no wonder they're shite.

Collingwood’s disposal wasn’t that great last week. Other than that, their problems are structural and personnel based. Cloke is a massive out. I don’t think many middle-of-the-road clubs (like the Pies) could deal with that kind of loss and still keep winning.

But I bet one day we’ll win the flag and our GF opponent will say. “When you don’t bother to turn up, then you lose to a team like Melbourne, simple as that.” We’ll never get credit.

Matthew Lloyd is probably the most anti-Melbourne commentator there is, and that's including Dwayne Russell.

He never, ever, gives us any credit for anything. It's all either luck, or the opposition playing poorly, and the moment something goes wrong he jumps on it and makes a song a dance about how pathetic we are.

Yep, I stopped listening to the white noise in the media about Melbourne a long time ago. It's mostly derogatory so why bother? I can find that here just fine.

Alot of them, like Eddie, talk out of self interest. They need a team to point at and say "that's the crap team".

Well say goodnight to the crap team. Four points. Lock it in thanks Ed.

Not sure if Doggies are just explosively good or Port are hot garbage. Probably a combination.

Geez it's interesting how beating a team depends so much on their form. I don't like our chances next week if they can play this well without a senior head like Murphy even playing.

Blues making a charge

Pies wobbly

This is funny:)

Posted

The doggies are going to destroy us

But then the logic of this seasons results will probably chalk this up as a win :rolleyes:

Posted

Dogs looking pretty scary - it will be interesting however to see how they match up under finals pressure.

Now officially my second favourite team.

Of course not being superstitious, but on history IF they win the flag Melbourne will of course win 5 of the next 6.

Fasolo throw on the goal line. Should be able to review that!

Doggies - 3 goals at the start to send shivers up most sides. Footscray kick the next 9 and 12 of next 13.

Blatant free missed. In the review. At a critical time. Critical goal. I changed the channel

Brisbane v Gold Coast - two teams with no interest in winning.

Had a feeling we've been tracking a season behind the Dogs in our overall development for a while now. Hope this is the case and the foundations will click into place next year.

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
