communist is wrong in this picture. there should be one single straw for communist. for the state.

That 3 straw image should read socialist, surely.

While we're at it, the Physicist one is wrong too. It should read gas and liquid. Fluid refers to gases and liquids.

It's US supporters,  and indirectly our players as well, which need that sub conscious lift for the spirits.

I don't think you can blame the Yanks on this occasion.

Public Sentiment can be very useful 

For too long The MFC has sat quietly in the corner and taken the scraps

That's true. On the other hand, the public could take the opposite view. I'm not sure Hawthorn, Port Adelaide or Collingwood get public sentiment on their side because their President's speak out.

Premature?

No it isn’t. Our game yesterday did not go ahead, if that happens I expect the President of my Club to speak about it. 
 

How many other Presidents of AFL Clubs would you expect to remain silent in the reverse situation?

I'll half agree with you on this one. In this particular instance, I don't think it's the President's job. Rather, that's what I expect the CEO to do. I would expect the President to speak out on more significant and strategic issues, such as big picture funding matters, mergers, club identity questions, etc. I expect the CEO to discuss operational matters. I realise this particular matter is something we've not seen before, but all said and done, it's still just an operational matter.

Back to Melbourne. See we are two from two. Could not give a toss about other sides stats.

I agree bad kicking is bad football, but if they kicked straight we’d have gone down by four goals. The yips aren’t the reason the game was so close

Agree that, we let our selves down in general play, let them get on top and that their kicking let them down to a fair extent as well.  However 1 goal, 4 behinds is a shocking return from a player we are looking to be a top line forward.  If Bailey kicks another one or two of those very gettable goals, it would have helped us put score board pressure back them and shift the momentum of the game a fair bit.  If we are to become a good side we need forwards kicking at much better than 20% accuracy.

I do feel that Bailey had somewhat of a bad game accuracy wise and that on other occasions he might have kicked 5 goals straight.  But we do need better consistency from Bailey and others in the team like Melk, Trac and even Max in this respects, just can't cough up gettable goals.

You probably think Hunt is better than  Lyon,  Neitz, Schwarz and Jakovich.  

Remember when you insulted them the other day?   Four legends of the MFC

Didn't insult them, for their time, really great players for the Club, would not survive these days

Unlike others on here never compare players

They asked Leigh Matthews once whether he would like to ply today, answer emphatic NO

Playing the man again I see, school out early today??????

Wide open for what, your scintillatin wit and opinions

Those players were great players in their time

Only concerned about how we go against Geelong

It is 2020

If we go small against Geelong and win, all this about a Key Forward will be forgotten, well for a week at least

Didn't say that

Said I don't think they would be of value in the modern game, the game has changed

If Leigh Matthews who should know, expressed the same, for some reason I value his.opinion above yours

You said they “wouldn’t survive in the modern game”

a ridiculous comment, but quite insightful into your knowledge of the game

Harsh self assessment there

Your opinion on whether Schwarz would be able to fill  the defensive role required of a forward these days

Even Tom Hawkins, who probably equates to the old fashioned gorilla is finding the game is going past him, Tex Walker similarly

Off you go, let's hear an opinion, rather than your usual name calling and toys from the pram

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
