Amazing what happens when you get the best player in the comp and give up sweet fark all in return

#equalization

Hopefully when we are up and about we will be able to get some quality in just the same.

But my god he's been a beast this year. We would have knocked over the bombers and North and be sitting nicely at 8 and 4 at the worst if we somehow jagged him in the off season.

Geelongs win tonight goes a small way towards paying back the money I lost on them when they were beaten by Collingwood and Carlton.

 

 

It's just really awesome always getting a running total on your betting account mate. Thanks for sharing.

Make the club worth playing for. 

It is not a matter of loading up on draft picks...

Given our history every other non MFC supporter would lol at that post WYL. For 8 of the last 10 years we've had pp's at the back of our minds

That's got nothing to do with it

We didn't get one. So the Bears have a lot more pain to go through. 

The problem Brisvegas has is player retention (en masse)

not recruiting Gun Kids

Is Stringer overrated? 

 

Why would you suggest that? He kicked more behinds tonight than anybody else on the ground! Dangerfield, Selwood, Hawkins or Menzel didn't kick any!

The Cats precise ball movement at full pace was extraodinary tonight end to end at least 4 times. 

The Dogs are good but like Nought they will only go so far. 

The Cats can win another one if they take that form into September.

I don't think 'the package' works any longer. I think 'the shrinkage' is far more appropriate

Last round should be a lot of fun!

Why? Do you think we are incapable of beating them again?

Honestly I just find these pessimistic posts absurd. For example, last week Jesse white and Mason Cox were going to destroy us. Look how that turned out. I just raise the question, do you think other teams look at us and question how to stop us?

Thus far this year, we have max gawn giving first ride to a midfield who leads the comp in clearances, we also follow up secondary stoppages with clearances ahead of any team. We win ball on the inside with the best of them and possess a forward line that not only has a multi pronged line up, but kicks more accurate than any other team.

I'm obviously not saying we will beat geelong, but they are hardly the same team who won everything in the years bomber coached, only 13 days ago carlton destroyed them.

This whole "well we won't beat them" mentality is a load of tripe, we finally have enough weapons that we can match any team, especially in a year with no absolute stand outs such as 2016

Did Brisbane really just have 110 more possessions, win the contested possessions ND similar tackles and inside 50s, yet still lose by 8 goals? 

Massive shout out to anyone who watched that in full. 

They overuse it off half back and end up going backwards most of the time. They remind me so much of us under Neeld. There's no plan or at least very little. It's a short kick to the back flank or a long kick to a contest up the line every time. Their ball movement is shocking. Leppa needs to go.

Sure we could beat the [censored] again, but we would need 18-22players to all play well on the same day. Not saying it can't happen but we are not at their level of  skill yet. 

We beat 'em last year because they didn't take us as a serious opponent and paid the price. 

Geelong obliterated the Dogs

and deserve to sit on Top...

Much as I don't want to see the Hawks go 4 in a row there is something sickening about the idea of the cats getting straight back up to winning a premiership that stinks. That said I don't want North to get it either! I spose Swans and Dogs are my choices!

Wouldn't mind seeing the Crows get up this year. Play a good brand of footy, and it will stick it up Paddy 'Sooks' Dangerfield and his mate Joel 'i started the whole ducking fiasco' Selwood!!!

I have no problem with Dangerfield, he played his guts out for the Crows until the very last moment. 

Unlike players who have walked from The MFC in the last few seasons.

Yeah I'm kind of in the same camp, Dangerfield was an absolute star for the Crows last year and while his output may have increased with the Cats I think it's also had a lot to do with the personnel surrounding him.

Compare that with Chip who while we played him in the forward line, was pretty useless in his final year.

The real winner this round  is the issue of ducking being talked about. Its not ok to say its in the rules....its a form of cheating a rule designed to protect players like Gus Brayshaw

The ducking move  triggered by dropping the knees and throwing the head back could lead to someone becoming a quadriplegic. Neil Sachse of the Bulldogs became one. He did not duck but stumbled forward and copped an errant knee to the face from a player coming the other way. The dangerous issue is not the high tackle which is usually very low impact and incidental in nature but looks dramatic on TV. One of these duckers copping an errant knee or hip and breaking their neck will happen one day. Players like Sellwood are placing themselves at high risk aside from cheating.

Looks like Nick Maxwell is in drag on Gameday - the make up artist got a bit excited! 

You got a real purdy mouth, boy

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
