MFC - dumb football club

MFC - lost winnable game

MFC - not very smart

I think today give us so many chances and I think the players will think it was “an honourable loss”. 

I agree Joeboy was harsh on Lockhart. He’s having a crack.

Hannan - was he playing???

Hannan obviously is working his way into fitness after a long stint on the sidelines, buts it's been several weeks now and he just looks miles off.

18 negatives. And we only went down by 8 points.   ?????

ANB : Lacks Pysical Strength

Lewis : Provided some leadership

Jones : the wicket was too bouncy

Preuss: the ball was too slippery

Hunt : Think and move

Dunkley : Learning

Lockart : Learning all the time. Make tackle stick

Brayshaw : Out of position

Viney : Improving

Clarrie: When giving ball by hand ,important to stay around the contested area.

Frost and Fritsch : Costly brain fades

Hibberd, May, Salem : Nucleus of our defence

I stopped reading this thread ages ago, occasionally have a squiz to see if the irrelevance is still there, the comment re Salem confirms this

Question remains did @joeboy actually watch the game?

Mate, I agree with you that the assessment of Salem seems harsh, but why not just say "I actually thought Salem was good and here's why..." rather than taking a pot shot at someone on the internet that you don't know? Doesn't get anyone anywhere taking the personal approach.

Well what I find interesting from your 3 word summary, is that most of them are negative. Combine that with some charity goals to the Dogs and 14 players unavailable for us and yet we only lost by 8 points at the Dogs dung heap, on a day when they were celebrating their survival 30 years ago and needed to win to keep their final's chances alive.

I find that pretty amazing.

Got news for you.  Frosty has been among the better for many weeks now.  Even the Frost bashes have gone silent. 

As far as Hannan is concerned, there was no cake and no icing today, as there hasn’t been since his return many weeks ago!

Agree with Jetta.  Terribly underdone.  Needed at least another one at Casey.  Another obvious selection mistake which required no hindsight as so many queried it pre game.

Oh wait, are you saying he was playing? I didn’t realise. I’ll have to go back and watch the game and try and find him.

Yeh he was about 4 rows back from fence. Never wanted to get near ball so sat in stands.

Not today 'joeboy', his worst in a while.

Thought he was one of our better players...saved a couple of certain goals & generally used the ball well.

A few weeks back when he copped a knock early was his worst game...you knew something was wrong when he couldn't hit a target.

Has done a job the last 2 weeks, Simpson last week & JJ today. Kept them quiet but does seem to be playing sore so may need a rest.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
