The last two weeks has seen Nathan Jones will us over the line. Epic performances.

Viney just refused to be beaten in every single contest. Ran all day.

Max was simply unstoppable.

Rioli is a dog. And gone for that hit on Oliver. Mitchell is gone as well.

Watts is a believer in himself now. Brilliant go to man.

I loved the way our guys refused to be bullied. In fact they did the bullying.

Oh, and the umps were appalling again.

Today was the day the Melbourne Football Club came of age and signalled to the rest of the football world that we will no longer be pushovers.

anyone see the cheap little open slap Mitchell did to Watts? Just saw it on the sport highlights. Not much in it but still a chape shot and I hope Rioli's spear tackle gets looked at. 

Was enough force to rock Watts' head back and he might get a week for it hopefully. He's been dishing out cheap shots his whole career and is one of the most cowardly gutless cheats to play the game in my lifetime. Nut punch to Daniel Kerr, repeated corkies against players who he knew who just couldn't beat fairly. Sam Mitchell is undeniably a sh*t bloke.

Sorry if this is already posted - did anyone hear that caller on 693 saying that Petracca will be another 'Tom Scully' situation and he'll go to the Hawks?

Apparently, they've been in his ear since he got drafted....anyone hear anything like this?

Tell them to get [censored]. 

Trac is committed to Melbourne  and the money $cully was offered will never be on the table again!

Today was one of our best wins this millennium. It was so exciting to finally see Viney, Bradshaw, Petracca and Oliver play together and boy did they produce the goods! Gawn was incredible, Weiderman will be good with more size, Watts was genius, all our players dug in and did what was needed. If we could bring that intensity every week then we're finals bound. Go Dees!

He extended his rookie contract last year, something Scully never did.

About as much chance of Weideman being another Lucas Cook.

Had the great pleasure of watching the game with two close Hawks friends and a bevvy of Hawthorn supporters at a local pub up here and I think I can safely say I represented the red and blue with the vociferous support they deserved. Called the game midway through third when we'd answered their challenge. We were always going to win today. One for the true believers and the break out statement game we've all yearned. Whose shout?

Well done you!   Enjoy mate as only those of us from far flung realms can appreciate!!!

A truely memorable win. Gawn is a beast, his efforts today were massive all over the ground.  Oliver was sensational, loved his work on the boundary when he kept the ball in and played on, too many melbourne players would be satisfied with just running it over. I loved the fact that he backed himself, his ability to dish to ball off to a players was first class.  Not sure anyone noticed by there may have been a couple of dodgy umpiring calls that cost us a couple of goals, and a couple of poor turn overs by our players when we were close to our goals that resulted in them scoring instead of us.  If we had just controlled the ball a little better we would have won by 50+ points.

All in all time to go back and watch a replay of the game, this time i promise to be a bit more quiet, except when that little xxxx riolli comes into the frame.

As one Prime Minister said "That was the sweetest victory of them all" And I am thinking of a certain grand final, criminals like Leigh Matthews, thugs like  Berto DiPierdomenico and a host of other humiliations.

Play it again Sam

Remember this date 6 August 2016.  It is the date the MFC came out of its shell.  

We now have talent on our list, we have potentially 5-6 elite players over the next 3 seasons.  We are on our way, and without doubt one of my proudest days been a member of the MFC.

absolute Gold.

Thanks mate. Felt really positive before the game and decided to just go with it and carry on like a lunatic. The sound was on mute enabling me to provide the commentary for the whole bar. Two older Hawks supporters made the mistake of ordering a bottle of champagne halfway through the last. Maybe took a little too much pleasure in highlighting the audacity of their drink of choice given the unintentional suggestion of premature adulation on their behalf. Glad the boys backed me up. Hope you had as much fun mate!

Only 3 bad decisions against, us in the last quarter and I learnt a few things today. Rio like can duck into a tackle and win a free. He can tackle around the head and not give away a free and he can throw the ball as much as he likes. He can also,be on the losing team and the commentators will still call him as if he is walking on water.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
