FFS that is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. I’m just glad they didn’t kill the poor bastard.

i personally trust the football / fitness etc. staff to be doing the right thing by our players

Some decisions to play players who are injured have been bizzare. Misson already has a job secured elsewhere so is his performance for the next several months something that isnt important?

If he wasn’t carrying so much extra weight.. he may have been able to resurface quicker! 

Actually, if he is fat as everyone makes out, he should have floated!!

If Trac plays well this week, let’s try and drown him before every game.

If Trac plays well, let’s try and drown the whole team before every game...

All good.

I had a fair few bevies and got home to find one of my favorite players had nearly drowned (probably not even close to what actually happened but that's how I read it at the time.)

My post was purely emotional.

The club should do some Mongolian throat singing together to increase their lung capacity. ?

 

I don't know about lung capacity...  but it Would help with sleep-apnea.

Go one better and get this mob for their throat singing and old school fighting lyrics...

This is what the Adelaide power stance was missing ?


That last effort on the boundary line to win that contested ball and kick it forward was huge.

Please lord let him one day put it all together and fulfil his potential.

May be he should have a near death experience each week 

Maybe this pool training,  helps them to overcome some fears, as well.  

Forcing them out of their comfort zones.


Something needs to be done about that ridiculous high ball drop. A good player will learn and adapt

They asked Maxy about it on the radio after the game and said yeah I have never seen a medicine ball used on the MCG before, pointing out what was the pint. Then they joked about his height helping him because he'd have his head out of water. 

But then jokingly said maybe Petracca should do it again next week seeing as he played well today.

Apart from that horrible set shot for goal, I thought he was good today.

I was surprised to see he only had 11 disposals (along with only  2 tackles, 0 goals).   Obviously thats a very low output but he was very physical and had some big moments.  He certainly didn't play poorly, which you'd think he must have just looking at the stat count.

Still needs to lift big time though.

If/when he sheds some Kgs,  those number of contests,  and so disposals will increase.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
