Things we can do to be Un-Melbourne-like

1. Give Jared Rivers a send off at Etihad versus GWS

Not many players who leave this club to play with a successful club, have the most kindest things to say about his old home. "I was lucky enough to play with the best 2 clubs...." or words to that effect. Maybe Jolls can sneak in the trunk :)

I tell you now, we start this, and clubs will start to follow us. Anyhow, it is the least we can do for a loyal servant who bled for the jumper. Simpletons think he got better at Geelong. No, he got more exposure at Geelong. He was always good. Always played on taller opponents. Always had a good pair of hands. Often courageous.

3. Get Medical Staff that can sort out our injury list; especially consider full-time lower-limb experts (particularly foot and ankle)

Jeremy Howe (hamstring) test
Jayden Hunt (back) 2 weeks
Dean Kent (heel) test
Alex Neal-Bullen (knee) 3-4 weeks
Christian Petracca (knee) season
Jack Trengove (foot) indefinite
Bernie Vince (hamstring) test

Paul Roos (ego) 3 weeks

Paul Gardner (relevance deprivation syndrome) 8 years

MFC staff (depression) 4 years

Nathan Jones (introversion) 2 years

Paleo (joke) life

Supporters (heart transplant) 2 years

Culture (premature) 3 years

I recall someone (Caroline Wilson maybe?) claiming that when Peter Jackson started he wondered why we'd done such a good job with the first Field of Women event and then not followed it up. Perhaps something un-Melbourne like would be to recognise that when we're onto a good thing, stick to it.

So, let's hope as a pioneer of the concept that we continue to support the Women's Competition. And let's maximise the benefits from it, such as recruiting more female members.

I like Number 1 and look forward to 2 ,3, etc

This is a creative and unique idea to differentiate our culture.

It would be difficult to administer, and must be transparent and equitable. It should be an offer to a player recognised as such with no recriminations if he does not wish to participate.

How would we treat Mitch Clarke? How would we treat a player who is delisted to a minor league and then retires from there? How do we treat a player retiring from SANFL? How would you treat a player injured and retires who then resumes after treatment?

Not insurmountable problems but would need to be handled sensitively

Players who retire are farewelled in the last round or on grand final day i believe so acknowledgement is already there perhaps MFC can ensure that his and our relationship is emphasised in that process.

Tackle hard

Lay a shepherd

Work together

Not lose to the bottom team

Not wear white

Grow some testicles

Remove the norm smith curse

How about we not eat another Demon alive and let Roos off the hook?

Stop being negative

Try and be happy? And have a more positive outlook?

That's true. Even a misogynist like myself can recognize that women's football is the best thing MFC has going for it. I hope we start investing heavily into it. If it works for MFC, then it should be explored to the highest possible degree. Also, what ever happened to our push into China? I thought that had merit as well.

Win games we are expected to win

Play with fight and passion in games we are not expected to win

Win consecutive games

Just for starters

Get a Prince Albert piercing

Chook I had to look that up. I did have my suspicious though and proven correct.

Most un-Melbourne like.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
