Maybe talking footy will mention us this week

Viney should get off. Have calmed down now from what was the most exciting win I've witnessed in years. Lesser teams would have thrown in the towel with 5 minutes to go, to keep pushing and get over the line shows incredible resilience. Super proud of the MFC tonight. Can't wait for Friday now.

I've finally calmed down. I was too nervous to even post here during it, un-be-lievable. There's something about this group and there's something building. Enjoy it guys!

What a supremely gutsy win! The absolute trust in the system and belief in themselves, looks to be solidifying weekly, and who knows where it will lead! To win against the odds tonight, and with significant injuries before and during the game, shows the fine fighting character of our beloved team. Go Dees!

Given we rarely wind consecutive games, dont play well in perth this was an awesome win, we were undermanned, had a lot of players playing poorly, injuries, some poor umpiring decisions but the players kept pushing through, kept up the momentum that won them the game. One of the best wins in years. could not be more proud of the team

Tonight was a massive step up for players like Melksham, Harmes, ANB and Hannan. With Hogan, Watts and Jones to come back in, some players are going to be very unlucky in a few weeks. We now have about 25-28 players to pick from who can deliver at AFL level on most occasions. 

Melksham and Hannan in particular are looking better and better with every match.

I reckon Pedersen started to look like he was going to impact by crashing through contests in the third quarter. And then those marks in the last quarter. 

Interesting to see what we do when Hogan's ready to come back.

I think tonight showed we still need a little more marking power. Watts isn't really a contested mark, so I count him as more of a small to medium link player.  So we'd have Gawn, Hogan, Pedersen, T McDonald, O McDonald as our true talls. Watts and Frost would be our talls who can play smaller than they are. I think we can go with that, and it would probably be more sustainable that what we had to cobble together tonight.

I thought Hannan was exceptional, Harmes was also good (has really improved his gut running). ANB does a lot right defensively but still turns it over far too much IMO. Melksham is a role player, we seem to set him a task each week and I reckon he's doing pretty well as a defensive forward.

Fabulous win, one for the ages.

Next week will be interesting. Only 6 days, and injury cloud over Viney, Salem and Garlett. Watts back in, but for the rest, getting to be a war of attrition.

I wouldn't bet on it.... Channel 7 just parrot what is expected of them by the AFL.  Agenda bias

Yes with Harmes leading the charge on this.  Great game by both tonight

Can't even discuss the actual game yet, only how the win felt.

I was at the ground. I brought a ticket through Ticketmaster and some how ended up sitting in an Eagles reserved seating section. I literally could not see another Melbourne supporter. I was by myself. I cheered everything we did and got stared at, people whispered about me, one woman asked her husband if they could move away. I wasn't badly behaved. I was just passionate.

Because those Eagles supporters they don't understand - I fell in love with this footy club in 1987. I was sitting with my old man on the half forward flank when Jimmy ran over the mark and Buckenara kicked the goal in the Prelim. I've sat through horrible horrible performances - multiple 100 point floggings at the G (just 4 years ago). I'd do it all again for that win, and the effort and energy we showed to drag ourselves over the line in that last quarter.

When Tommy Mac kicked the last goal I went bananas. And then when the siren went I went absolutely ballistic. You know those sad people at sporting events going nuts who you think 'calm down mate, maybe you need more going on in your life'? - that was me!

Im pretty sure I looked like the slow mo of Stevie J when he kicked the sealer a couple of weeks back - but in real time.

It was ugly. I don't care. That was an absolute delight.

I love this footy club, and I love that I at least have a place on the internet to share something like this with people who get it.

Go The Dees. I believe. 

I reckon you might have had the best supporter experience tonight, and that's saying something!

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

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
