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

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

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
