That'd be right. The team we play next week gets smacked, so will be out for blood next week. I swear it's happened 2 or 3 times already this season.

Looking forward to playing the Swans.

They're pulversing the Dogs inside who are pretty handy in that department and with the inside game is our stongest suit will be a great test of where we're at

True, but Crows were coming off a terrible loss at home v us.

That's true. Let's hope history repeats itself there.

Imagine how much more the doggies would have lost by without Cloke!

Dogs aren't much chop this year. Their midfield is decent, but their forward line is non existent and backline average. Won't be doing big damage in finals again this year unless they make big changes.

In their current form we should account for them in two weeks time.

Swans look like they're back to the form we expect of them. Should've won by 70-80 points tonight. Scoreboard flatters the Doggies.

Great idea to recruit Cloke from such a successful club.

Wouldn't be writing the dogs off yet. They had an okay year all of last year and were only dominant in the final 4 weeks, where it counted

They had an OK year with 15 wins and 8 points seperating them from 1st ?

But to counter that we've got Collingwood this weekend who are coming off the highest of highs.

not sure which we'd rather?

I'd prefer a team getting smacked then a team winning by 10 goals.

We just don,t get pulverised in the 1st quarter.

SCG often produces rubbish games because its small size makes modern footy more compressed. But you have to love the way the Swannies targeted certain Doggies and mentally threw them off. 

Buddy is a freak, and I loved the way he intentionally led his player away when Reid was marking everything. Team goals are always the best. 

Every few years or so I end up a fan of an opposition player. Kennedy is a star. Tough, effective and inspiring. 

Doggies looked poor because of the Swannies pressure. Any team can beat anycteam by applying that manic pressure, like we did to Adelaide.

Adelaide v St Kilda tonight ... would like a win by the Crows so as to get some breathing space on St Kilda

The next three weeks... Collingwood, Bulldogs and Swans will go a very long way to shaping the MFC season.

Richmond play Sydney next week which will be interesting

Messi must be pinching himself that he's sharing the MCG with the great Coutinho. 

 

As for the Saints, hope they get smashed. Again. 

Weller playing his 100th. Or as he sees it, his 10th.

Doggies loss was good for us last night,  Crows smashing Saints will be great for us too.

Saints will be desperate to emulate what the Dees did vs Adelaide a few weeks ago to show they have finals credentials.

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
