Chris Judd thinks we celebrated too hard.

I loved the celebration of Jones after the win. I would have been more worried to see no reaction.

Judd was suggesting we walk off the ground with game faces still on, in full finals focus - nah. Let them celebrate for a whole 30 minutes FFS.

If we win against GWS, I would expect to see more of a finals focus, not after breaking a 12 year hoodoo, against the odds, in hostile territory.

Go you good things

    Wow people are ready to defend Jack Watts in the other thread to the hilt but when a champion of the game has a say you’re all ready to get the knives out. Can not believe the double standards. Judd is an icon of the game who has walked the walk and tasted success so he probably knows a little about what he’s talking about. Watts wouldn’t be Judd’s bootlace.

    I mean if you listen to him he’s paying them a back handed compliment. Too good a team to be satisfied with finals and thinks they can go all the way etc.

    Judd has actually been a big advocate for Melbourne this year. Called Hogan the best player in the league based on form at one stage of the season.

    i still think it’s a silly comment as the celebrations are totally justified and doesn’t mean the players are satisfied with anything, but his heart is in the right place ?

    For sure mate. I feel more connected to this group than ever after seeing their reactions after the game. All this year we were wondering if they felt the pain that we did and there were some telling images that you just couldn’t orchestrate if you tried yesterday. Let them have it!

    Thought he was really complimentary?

    I guess they gotta say SOMETHING. It's a whole hour of TV he needs to talk through.

    If you break down what he says though, he pretty much points out they deserve to celebrate like they did, but that they're a lot better side than maybe they think they are. That's a pretty powerful statement. Really liked the bit about "To have finals success you have to have a lot of non human behaviours." I've seen a lot of teams over the years play like unemotional robots, and then let it loose once the big one is won.

    I reckon he's wrong. He's forgot to factor in where the club has been the last decade (when he could have come to us)... but his overarching point I thought was quite complimentary, and not ridiculous.

    We'll know on Sunday evening whether he was right or wrong.

    In any case there is a job to be done. I have criticised Goodwin for his absolute monotone straight bat media appearances but I think if it is ever going to be a case of keeping the players grounded he is probably the man to do it. In fairness he was very measured in our losses (and our wins) so he is likely to keep the players focused this week.

    But if we don't lay a tackle in the first 15mins against GWS I take all of that back....:)

    I suppose that means he's always right then?

    This is true. He's been resolute in his belief in where MFC are heading, even when the "fail to beat a top 8 team" heat was on us. Given some of the references he's made this year, I suspect he's studied our recent rebuilds, both failed & the current promising one and will apply some of those lessons as he tries to rebuild Carlton. A challenge in which I wish him absolutely no success.

    Of course not but surely he’s entitled to an opinion without being torn to shreds.

    And according to Juddas, Brendon Bolton is doing a fantastic job, plus he tips Carlton every [censored] round (there's blind faith, then there's stupidity).

    The bloke doesn't have a clue. May he forever continue as a director on their board, let's see how far down he can bury them (and then wipe his hands innocently clean - smug [censored]).

    I havent bothered watching the footage and probably wont but Judd's chicken wings has a point. While it is still mathematically possible for us to miss the finals we shouldnt be celebrating. If Port win by 300 points on Friday then wed better be on our game.

    I guess we're stuffed then, as he believes we can win the flag? ?

    Looking at the scenes I actually don’t think we celebrated that hard, considering everything we’ve been through you would’ve forgiven Jonesy for doing a victory sprint around the ground. 

    It was a big match, it was a tight match, it was relief, but I don’t think we actually celebrated that hard. ?‍♂️

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
