And what your saying is Oliver and Brayshaw don't do enough gym work because they don't have the AFL pro standard body?

No, I'm saying they are not fit enough,  just as Petracca was not fit enough, and was too heavy.  Juries out on Tracca.

And they don't have the AFL Pro standard bodies?

 

Oli and Brayshaw haven't kicked into gear,  Yet. 

And are both carrying puppyfat on their bodies.  Not good enough,  as midfielders,  in today's footy.

    over your "they're bingeing"

    Show where I wrote that our current players are Bingeing,  dd'.    Your the one making things up.  And being malicious,  at the same time.

    Your not talking about footy,  but rather potting the postor.   I think your out of order.

    Well,  things have to change, for the club to better itself. Your the one who is stuck back in the 90's, dd.

    Your editorials are wasted on here MFM. I don’t think anyone is getting a full perspective of what you are all about, and understanding what you have to say - especially DD.

    Can I suggest saving all these nuggets and writing a book instead.  Then we’d have the whole picture. 

    If written under your current nom de plume it could possibly be titled “ The MFC - the view from Mars”.

    If written under your previous incarnation perhaps it could be called “The MFC - a Dee -luded view”. 

    Just a suggestion.

    "And your happy to have that culture,  of binge-ing amongst your group.?"

    Nothing personal at all from my end at all 'Luded'.. I'm just sick of people who make up things along the way to give people like yourself a reason to pot blokes like Oliver because according to you, he doesn't have a pro AFL body.. c'mon man that is one of the most bizarre things said. Yes I would understand if he had poor work ethic and questionable training habits, but he doesn't. He's a dedicated young footballer who is wanting to be the best that he can be. His training and off field work is first class.

    There is no love from my end mate. I am just saying your wrong.

    There are far more bigger issues at our club right now then Oliver and Brayshaw.

    Your post, dummy.

    You posted the image of Dane Swan up,  to say,  'here is a star' without a bodybuilder physique.

     

    My response to you, Re that post of Swan,  was to say that,  you seem to be happy to have a player like Swan who binges and leads others astray.   ie: Swan a binger?

    I did not say our players are binge-ing.

     

    Are you drinking,  dd.?  or lost your reading glasses maybe?

    Now it's you getting personal Lude.. don't be a hypocrit now..

    You are struggling to understand the simple concept of what I am trying to get at 'Luded'.. 

    The Dane Swan response was all about how not having a ripped physic like you want, means that they are not going to make it as footballers. You're pointing out Oliver and Brayshaw as guys that need to work harder on their body shape. Swan is an example of why sometimes not having a pro AFL standard body will equel to poor performances. You pointed out Alex Neal Bullen as a prime example... which was quite laughable, as @Demonland pointed out, just because he's got the prototype body doesn't mean that's given him much success. In fact 99.9% would much rather take Oliver the way he is right then a Alex Neal Bullen. 

    Answer me this mate, (which you still haven't after i have given you an example used by Brendan McCartney). Give me some real honest facts on why you think Oliver needs to lose weight?

    Have taken a break from DL, by in large. Not a conscious decision as such. But after a preseason and then no footy I ran out of posting energy.

    Have occasional dropped in and scanned some threads. And every thread I've opened it has been clagged up by the Martian fella. Deeluded you say dazzler. Makes sense. 

    Cue my favourite L7 track. Should make it easier to post again.

    Omac looks in ripping nick.

    Your still not comprehending.

    What I communicated was,  the current physique of both Oliver,  Brayshaw,  is indicative of them both not doing the absolute most they can,  inside the Gym.

    I'm saying they have not put in anywhere near the professional work and dedication that Harmes,  and also Nibbler to a lesser extent,  have done.

    Both boys,  do not even match up to Nathan Jones,  and he's nearing the end.

     

    And I'm also saying;  this is a part of a near enough attitude,  around the club.

     

    # now you come up with a new wrong statement about me.    Your saying I said Oliver needs to lose weight.  Wrong again dd.  I do not think Oliver should lose weight at all.  I think he should get a lot fitter,  and this will then show in his physique;   just as some are saying of Petracca, this season.

    I also said,  that both Oliver and Brayshaw are still carrying puppy fat.  And that its time they turned the puppy fat into toned muscle.  Like Harmes has done.

    You know very well I used Nibbler and Harmes,  as fine examples of dedicating to their fitness for the team, and their games.

    You seem to be suggesting that having players who are only 90% fully fit and conditioned,  is acceptable,  for this club to become more professional.

     

    I'm saying it is not acceptable,  if the club wants to forge ahead and become one of the power clubs.

     

    The top coaches of the past have been harder on the top players,  as examples to the less talented players,  to strive harder.

    Although in recent times the Rev is said to have had his Fav's,  and others were left battling.  Scotty Thompson was one who was unhappy at that time,  struggling for his respect.  I overheard him say at training at the Junction Oval,  one training night.

    Cool.

    So in other words you don't know, and just looking for excuses to sick the boots in once again.

    Thanks 'Dee-luded'.. I'm sure we'll come again to discuss further topics.

    Skin tones, dd.  you can see it,  it stands out, plainly.   He is not buffed,  not cut, however you prefer to name it.

    It's as plain as the your nose on your face.

    Just as Tracca was heading,  this time last year.  He's turning it around.

     

    Lets hope Oli will be next.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
