Jon Ralph won't be on the field. Actually, I'm not sure if he's ever taken the football field? 

The fact he has not played football, does not necessarily invalidate his analysis.

    Exactly. Milestones are individual 

    Finals are for everyone

    That has been my point

    I am enjoying your selective definition of the word milestone to suit your position.  But this dictionary seems to say otherwise:

    1. a stone set up beside a road to mark the distance in miles to a particular place.
       
    2. a significant stage or event in the development of something.

    You brought up the death word when talking about milestones.

    Good night

    Absolutely.

    Jim should always be honoured. It wasn’t a good game when we clapped for 1 minute, not at all

    You really  think Finals are Milestone games?

    We should be aiming for Finals every year as a Standard, only because we have been rubbish for so long, do Supporters expectations fall

    We have seen basket case teams and this MFC team is not one. 

    Gawn and Oliver are as good as any player.  
    Next level NEEDS to step up. 

    our next 10 can all improve and get fit and on the park  

    May. Trac. Brayshaw. Harmes.  Viney. Lever. Melksham.  Tmcd.  Salem. Hibberd.

    Jetta will be back and makes a difference.  

    Langdon and Tomlinson already will make us better 

    Weidemans development is crucial.  If he FINALLY fulfills his promise and lifts his hunger and intensity, we will look very dangerous again.  

    Vandenberg KK Jsmith are all needing to overcome injury issues and will be huge bonus if fit. 

    Hore has the making of a very solid midsize defender. His marking reminds me of a Harry Taylor type  

    Fritsch showed again that he is a very skilled and dangerous forward. Definitely a best 18 player now. 

    Can Hunt and Hannan develop any more.  Both very good and important as goalkickers.  

    Baker cwagner Spargo need to show more in 2020 to stay on the list 

    we can see potential already in Petty, Sparrow, Lockhart, Jordan and Chandler. Bedford and Bradtke are still raw but likely  

    list cloggers like Jkh, JWagner, Omcd need to go

    It’s plenty of sunshine ahead with the right coaching, intensity, game strategy and importantly fit and healthy playing list.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
