Counterbalanced by Mick.  We must be a certainty to play in the GF, as Mick never even picks the grand finalists in the top 8, let alone the premier.  His 2017 prediction:

"Old" Mick also forgot about Melbourne beating Collingwood in 6 of the 7  real Grand finals played between the teams so far.

He's a bitter old fart and should be ignored.

Malthouse rates our list, but he doesn't rate the club.

He also think we're too easily satisfied, as well as liking to drink our own bath water.

I am actually reassured by Mick's assessment.

Would have been concerned if he had tipped us. 

At the end of the day, I have no interest in what the tipsters have to say.

I just think that Malthouse has it in for Melbourne generally. He certainly is opposed to the mooted MFC training facilities in Yarra Park diagonally across from his apartment in Wellington Parade (even though it has no impact on him)!

Surprised at the general absence of Sydney and Hawthorn.  I counted 7 who did not include either yet the same folk included North.  Goodness me!! 

With all the woe befalling the Saints I wouldn't be surprised if they make a mad dash for the wooden spoon!.

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.

    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
