I give us a sniff.

We went 3-0 in the JLT series including a great win over Port over there.

Watch out for that Oliver kid making his debut today. I know we all think we should’ve  taken Parish in last year’s draft but you never know, he might surprise us all.

Should be a nice day, overcast and in the low 20’s.

    Apparently Freo have loaned us Jesse Hogan back for the 4th quarter only , hopefully he has an impact ?

    I have a feeling Ben Kennedy’s going to have an impact today, and he’s going to be that small forward we’ve been craving for, for the next 8-10 years.

    4 points massive if we get them today. We will be going 2-0 after next week.

    You know I cannot remember this game at all.

    2016 was not exactly a memorable season but which ones ever were for the MFC.

    Wait I remember 2016 .........the Bulldogs won the flag and we became the longest premiership drought club. And then there was 2017 which was probably worse

    Be massive if we get the 4 points to open the season.

    We’ll go 2-0 next week as we’re only playing Essendon’s VFL side next week....Not even Melbourne could drop a game like that, right?

    I went to this game, the first game I'd attended since the 1987 Semi against the Swans. I left during the third quarter, my head shaking, wondering just why Melbourne players kept kicking the ball to GWS players. I walked to Richmond station, got off the train at Box Hill and checked on my phone to see how much we'd been beaten by...

    This team is more balanced than 2020. Not saying it is better, just more balanced.

    what did you think of the gameplan?

    The forward line looked more potent back then with Hogan, Watts,  Pedo and Garlett.

    Exactly. Sport on. Natural forwards doing natural forward things.

    Our gameplan works relatively well against GWS as long as you can pressure their ball carrier.If you allow them the handball to space they will cut us to pieces. Of course while their kicking skills have improved and ours have gone the other way over the last two years it has become harder to maintain that pressure.

    Round 23 2018 was a highlight game for me. Mind you it was a lot closer than it ended up had they kicked straight in the second quarter.

    Battle of defences ATM. No one can score.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
