Not just related to this comment but in a packed field Ralph is about as useless as any reporter.

To claim free agency is working because Ellis and Tomlinson signed with bottoms clubs and that cancels out Lynch joining the premiers is ridiculous.

You are completely right, my memory is wrong. Perhaps I was thinking it would motivate us to win a flag. Apologies and good research.

I was at that match. Very moving. The players linked arms before the match and played like they wanted to honour Troy's memory.  

The team's efforts in milestone matches thereafter has been very poor.

Yeah, that first finals appearance in 12 years was such a let down

Fill your beer up Swyl, it's half empty

I am loving the ‘pile on’ mentality right now towards the MFC. A LOT of these very same people thought we had the most talented list 12 months ago. It’s not just in the media but friends of mine are doing the same thing. 

We went backwards this year no doubt, we have glaring weaknesses in a few areas no doubt. But an AFL list doesn’t go from most talented to complete basketcase in 12 months. 

Unless they’re lazy, layzie

Idiotic statement. 

Your opinion.

Why do you think Roos was so critical of the "veil of negativity" surrounding Melbourne? Because it, and the feedback from members, has a demotivating effect on the club and he realised the whole club from the members up had to get over it. But we haven't and it's back bigger than ever.

If what is posted on here has very little effect on how the club performs, which is probably true, why do we have so many on here who think that making bold and sometimes aggressive statements here about not "accepting mediocrity" and complaining ad infinitum will actually have an effect?  You can't have it both ways. It's a waste of breath and keyboard strokes, and really just boils down to whingeing, which has no constructive purpose whatsoever.

I'd say a first finals appearance in a long time is a milestone match.  Milestones (as a metaphor) don't have to be even numbers or associated with a special year.  They mark significant events.

It was a milestone for normal people but for you it doesn't fit your agenda.

How'd we go at the Cattery in Corey Enrights 300th

Against Richmond after Tom Hafey's death

Don't bring a knife to a gunfight Swyl

No i would bring an M16!!

How did we shape up Round 1 after Big Jimma left us?

Doubt it will motivate. Different group of course but I well remember the first game after the tragic Troy Broadbridge death who I thought would end up a future Captain.Sadly we put up little effort in that game. And so the band plays on. The power Clubs dominate and we remain homeless, win less and unable to attract the best talent on and off the field. 

We won that game ( round 1 next season ) by 7 goals.

Sorry to spoil the well researched narrative.

Is that this side,  No

But since you probably don't no we won both those games I asked about and the first final in 12 years.

By your logic the GF is not a milestone FFS.

No no no. 

The conversation started by mentioning milestone games. 

They are not Finals.

Finals are Finals

no one gives a rats about a 200th game milestone, if it’s played during September. (Except maybe yourself)

Don’t change the context of a discussion and then put the boot in.

Bollox, our first final in 12 years was a milestone if you think otherwise you're kidding yourself.

Please explain how a game after a death is a milestone ( this will be good)

Out first Final in 12 years was just that. A Team achievement over a Season

To honour Jim Stynes or Troy in Death is a totally different emotion, i was at both games, the vibe was heavy. 

September is not that way at all, unless we lose.

I was at the Broadbridge game it wasn't a milestone. The team played the way they should for a fallen brother.

And you know what 10mins in and the 200/250/300th games aren't milestones either for a team. They are individual milestones.

time to crash

You brought up the death word when talking about milestones.

Good night

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
