I'd throw 2014 in there too. We were incapable of scoring that year

I was being nice to Roos.

Costs me $100 per month to watch Melbourne, because Ch 7 do not know they exist !!

The reason we do not play some Clubs as often is because they play on Friday Nights and MFC are not in favour of Wall to Wall Bookmaker odds.

Lol North are a top club with no money that go out every week and play for there supporters , the players bleed for the jumper and club I have nothing but the highest respect for North there everything I one day hope we can be and Roos would think the same . 

Plus they don't take money from gambling, ranking them as a people's team.

Hawthorn, Giants  and the Bulldogs? Might as well add the Crows to that list while your going.

Again I must be watching a different game to others.

Freo : gameplan doesn't involve scoring 

Richmond : so predictable 

Essendon : VFL standard

it's not about watchability, it is all about envy with the Hawks Giants and Bulldogs

I am with you for the first two, don't watch any game involving the third

Untill I joined DL I had no idea how many Dees fans hated North Melbourne. Collingwood, hawthorn Essendon, Richmond sure but everyone seems to hate north, but I digress. Based on this year, Essendon, Gold Coast and Freo seem the clear choices to me maybe add Richmond and Brissy to the mix. I do want to see brissy get better though, I tend to develop a soft spot for any underdog... excluding the 4 I mentioned earlier they could be the bottom 4 for all of time and I would be happy.

Not really related to this topic but how can an undermanned Essendon side get more friday night games than the MFC..?

Because the fixture was developed under the delusion that the Essendon players were going to get off. As soon as WADA appealed it was plain as day they were going to be suspended. The AFL lives in its own little world where it gets to make up the rules as they please. Makes no sense to me, but lots of cents for them.

I assumed it would be part of the AFL's dodgey little give the bombers a leg up plan despite them sending the comps integrity into the dirt. 

I just think it's absolutely ridiculous that one of the most exciting young sides in the comp gets one friday night game in the last two seasons, yet a team of VFL players is already having their second this year and Carlton who won the spoon last year has had a heap as well.

It's about supporters man, not enough make the effort to go to our games, particularly if they think they are going to lose. So putting us on prime time isnt going to happen. Hawthorn and Essendon will draw big crowds because of who they are, simple as that. Round up everyone we know and drag them to dee's games for the rest of the season and we might get 1 or 2 shots at a prime time slot. But while supporters continue to say thinks like "its cold and we're playing hawthorn so im not going" we are never going to get those slots.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
