Round 19 has just kicked off with Geelong vs Bulldogs. Do I care who wins? No. Do I wonder how much rotting food is secreted in Bartel's beard? Yes.

Tom Boyd just kicked a goal, AFL is an unpredictable game.

I don't think Geelong get enough free kicks at home. They need to introduce a rule where they just start off with the ball rather than waste time with centre bounces.

I hate Geelong. I hate the supporters. I hate the players. I hate the ground. I'm shaky on the town.

As an MFC supporter watching the bulldogs feels like watching football in fast forward. And I  don't  mean  from a leg speed  point of view. Their intensity around the contest gives their fans so much value. Ours was good last week  but sadly it took a  bake in the media to get a one off effort like that from our lot.

Embarrassing isn't it.

Wish we had Footscrays intensity, we are not even close to it.

 

 

The way they play football is amazing, such pride in the jumper, they have their 6 best players out and are still going hell for leather, imagine we had Jones, Vince, Viney etc out of the team.  Love the way they go about it

A terrible omission. You forgot to mention the coach. I hate him even more than the supporters/players/ground/town!!

This is why i am disappointed in the 3rd year of Roosy

the players do not put in enough. 

Why? Is it the Salary Cap? Players get the same money regardless of which jumper they wear...

Two edged sword. If poor clubs had lesser salary caps, will all their better players want to leave?

Thought the effort was the one thing Roos would fix in his tenure. Sadly not. This is why I've started to wonder whether the supporters should shoulder a lot of the blame for the players not putting in. We have offered up so many excuses for the shocking performances over the years and many supporters still do. We have made it acceptable at the MFC to go less than 100%.

No excuses for the Dogs. All those injuries but all they want to do is compete. A great example for youngsters watching sport to learn about how it should be played.

But yes i understand your point

I'm actually loving this Dennis + BT commentary team. Add in the Duck and there's some pretty good footy knowledge present tonight.

What's with the ruck rules? One can stick a knee or boot into an opponents chest to block him but not a hand.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him 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.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
