I think I've heard this story before. Wasn't our day supposed to be coming about five years ago after we snapped up all those early draft picks around 2008/9?

Very good article. Conveniently written the week we're playing Port, the old pump up our tires and then watch us self deflate trick. Lets not fall for that and smash Port this weekend!

I know it may be hopeful but this is different.

This is the best list and most complete we have seen at the MFC for a long time.  

And it has a nice blend of grunt and class.

Good and incisive article (and it didn't even mention Crow-eater ANB, returning No. 2 pick Jack Trengove or Ben Kennedy)!

Cam Mooney had similar things to say yesterday on SEN. It's on the audio page of their website.

Yes list is not only much younger than circa 2010, but much higher proportion of first round draft picks, much better coached, and a much higher proportion of potential A grader. We have a number of players who will be in the top 25 AFL players in a year or two. We had none in 2010.

This is very different.

There is one big difference WJ then we picked poorly and the wrong types this time around the people doing the selecting know what the are doing.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
