    Being an MFC supporter does strange things to us all.

    There has been some quality HTBs in the last 24hrs on here, this is up there!

    As to your OP... his body of work suggests he would have for right in this year at Melb but I would hope we are past a J Watts.

    Admin, can we merge this with the 'Get Izzy Falou' thread?

    Must confess that I was open to having Scully back on the basis of minimum pay and a one year deal which is what I understand Hawks paid. Okay he didn't star but he was a very useful player.

    We took KK instead as our project player and well..............

    What about bringing back Jesse too? My mail is that he's not happy atm

    Bookmark it.

    Basically, the Trent Croad trades all over again. Or even better, the Chris Tarrant trades.

    It wasn't really a choice between the two though was it? Scully was never coming back even if we wanted him too.

    Indeed !

    The thrust of your thread has altered somewhat Jim. However, I reckon men discussing breast possibilities is a sensible Sunday arvo option.

    Especially when one's footy team is [censored] and the cricket doesn't start for a few hours!

    As the cricket tension rises, there is still relief in watching the Vuelta wend its way through the vineyards, orchards and captivating villages of Spain.

    Ironically he's the exact player we're screaming out for. That last kick into the forward 50.

    That bit's correct. The problem, though, is that he has to get the ball before he kicks it and that's the bit that was his problem.

    I think that problem is somewhat overstated by the emotional bias that some punters on this forum have against Jack.  Paul Roos got some decent output from Jack as both a defender and forward during his time as coach, it was only until Goodwin took the reins that Jack's game seemed to fall apart on the field.

    Not only was Jacks ability to find team mates by foot pretty elite, he was/is one of the most accurate shots for goal in the league, which is an area that we fell over in massively at times this year.

    I'm surprised this topic didn't come up earlier for us this season.

    Do you remember one of his tweets on the way out. Paraphrasing but "I guess they don't want players that can kick after all"

    The notion of a sinner returning to the path of righteousness and godliness always does that to me.

    Thanks for that lesson in humility Rusty!

    It seems I pick cricket teams about as well as I pick footy teams!

    Haha sorry uncle.  All in good jest.  I thought the same yesterday!

    As for footy teams dw, i know the feeling all too well!

    As dedicated minions being flogged on a regular basis is something we appear destined to endure.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
