What's with Mummy lining up Gawn in the third electing to bump rather than tackle collecting him in the head with his shoulder and the umpire calling play on? Should have been a free kick and 50 metre

That would require the umpire making a correct umpiring decision though, which seems beyond all of them this year. The umpiring as a whole this year has been f*cking abysmal. If I made that many mistakes at my job, not only would I have been fired very quickly, I probably would be sitting in jail too. These clowns are corrupt!

Only MFC would fight like that for a full quarter and then lapse with 10 seconds to go. T-Mac dominating behind the ball with the wind just rubs salt in the wound from last week. Salem injury looked a season ender. 

The MFC way would be to kick 7 in the last quarter just like we should have last week. 

Oliver should be banned from hand balling until he learns to get the balance right. 3 times he was clear to kick and hand balled back into traffic.

I reckon we can still win this.

Not excusing a poor performance, but injuries just haven't helped us. Not so much the injuries per se, but Viney, Jones and Watts are not playing nearly as well as they were pre-injury.

Can't dare criticise the umps thought, they're a protected species.

Lots of talk about Watts' form which has definitely been poor. But geez, he's got some mates. Petracca, Frost, Harmes, Melksham.

It's been tough with the way the games been played but Garlett hasn't done much for a few weeks either

As always waking up on the other side of the world can either give me great pleasure or great frustration. 

Thanks MFC for kicking of my weekend in style like last week.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
