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.

    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

    Clown ? School ?

    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

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
