Please do this for the Eagles list too. Did anyone play to your standards I wonder?  Such a pesimistic post

Seriously, tonight was a good argument for not allowing umpires from home states to umpire when the opposition are from outside that state.

Like in test cricket the umpires must be neutral.

Yes we cost ourselves with poor kicking but that Smith decision was a disgrace and probably cost us the game.

Forget Rampe climbing up a post that had absolutely no effect on the result and his remark to the umpire had even less.

A 12 point turnaround and a player incapacitated.

The WC player will be sighted on the tackle & probably get a week but the umpires dept and Shocking will still try to tell us the umpire got it right...

Frost - becoming more valuable

Hore - bye bye Lewis

We are missing Lever, May, Lewis, Hibbo and Jets from the back half, I have to give credit to Hore and Frost who have been really solid the past few weeks. If our full backline was available I'm wondering if Hore has gone past others for a spot in the best 22. He is getting better by the week.

Thought Smith was ok in a tough position until he was killed in the last quarter

I’ve given up on Stretch. Really hoped he could make it, but sadly it’s not going to happen for him. Kolodjashnij has his spot if he can ever get on the park.

I felt Oliver tapered off a little when he had a bit of a head clash (not sure if it was second or third qtr) but he was electric before that.

Agree with both, Petracca I'm calling it.. Time to Trade. Momentum killer of the highest order.

Billy Stretch , Similar to Cale the Whale! Prefer others when fit!

MFC - please stand up 

Lost count of the number of times our players slipped over tonight, embarrassing, same thing happened in last year's two games at Optus. And I notice it happening every week, particularly Viney, slips over nearly every time he goes near the ball.

T. Smith- Not AFL standard.

B.Pruess- Where was he?

Set shots- Killed us Again.

Petracca- So [censored] frustrating.

Gawn- One man band.

Long kicks to Mcgovern and co- just so predictable.

Skill level- Not AFL standard.

Football IQ-  just doesnt exist.

Football boots- screw-ins not required

Hore- Stroke of Genius.

Hunt- Has reinvented himself.

Goodwin- Good for 3qtrs

Rest of Season- Couldn't give two...

Petracca should be waking up to a 4 or 5 goal performance in a huge interstate win, but not to be, again.

I actually think he is having an ok year, but he is so close to having a very good year.

Agreed.  Harsh on Jonesy who showed he still gets into the close midfield contests.   He also kicks the footy. His opening goal was very good.

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
