Beating the Crows on Wednesday won't mean much. they are an absolute rabble.  That north team is average at best

    What's the chances we lose to Adelaide?

    If we don’t completely murder the crows (pun intended) I’ll be p-ssed.

    Hmmm, since there’s been a couple of anniversary threads lately rewind back to our R10 2007 game against Crows and the team sitting at 0-9 got its first win of the season. Giving myself nightmares already.

    We are the only club who could do it...

    about 15%?

    Just a thought about the upcoming game and in some ways using North as inspiration (urgh that tastes bad in my mouth). Shaw may have pulled a mini-master stroke here by dropping Brown and Polec which in turn motivated the players, but also gave Polec and Brown extra time to prepare for us. 

    The Adelaide game could be a really good opportunity to drop some underperforming players and hopefully have them in better condition for North. 

    Given Brown’s annual desire to destroy us I’d be shocked if at the very least he didn’t come back for them.

    I can still remember the Sydney game when they had lost 20 something in a row. I think the Crows were saving themselves for Wed Night guys.

    The saints have sped right past us.

    Their young talent coming through and also smart recruiting like Butler and Jones have been a master-stroke.

    Ratten will have a few years at The Aints

    I really rate Ratten as a coach as well, I would’ve been keen for us to have him but sometimes timing is everything and we just didn’t have that. 

    But infuriating to see them doing so much better than us, that said it won’t surprise me if the they have a later year dip.

    As have Port, Lions and Pies (measured from 2017) and maybe even GCS.

    I'm already thinking of the media outcry. Sadly I'm already preparing myself

    Watching all the smashings this week. If we don't beat Adelaide by ten goals, it is a fail.

    Beating Adelaide will be the clubs aim, but they’ll likely get comfortable after that and go down in the next couple

    1993. One of my earliest memories as a Melbourne supporter. Even as a 6 year old I knew how bad Sydney was. We had beaten the Eagles at the MCG a few weeks before and looked like we could push for finals. Then Sydney pumped us at the MCG in front of like 5000 people for their first win in more than a year. Don't discount the Crowd. They will see us as very beatable.

    They finished last in 2014 and were a rabble for most of last year. Always had talent. Huge indictment on our recruitment and development as a club. They are flag smokies imo.

    Cats v Eagles has started very well, hopefully the whole game is like this.

  • Quote

    A free kick was brought back because a Geelong player blocked the Eagles player on the mark that allowed the Cats kicker to run around the mark. Hasn’t Hawthorn been doing just that for 10 years?

    Just watching Geelong and WC go at it makes me realise how far behind we are as a football team.This is football,not the crap we dish up with our basketball/wrestlemania style of play.

    But remember we had a kick on the siren to beat the Cats! This is a very odd season. If we get our act together we can compete with the best but then there is our worst!

    Eagles are going to roll the Cats which is great, but this last quarter has been fantastic.  Both clubs going hard at it.  It's been great to watch.

    Kennedy is really turning back the clock here.  Has kicked three in the last to get them over the line.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
