And, its meaning will always be a sad joke among MFC supporters.

Yes, believe it or not a Richmond supporting friend asked me on the phone on the weekend how the Learnings were going!

    So when ( not if ) we lose tonight, what statement do we make at the selection table for our next game???‍♂️

    Predicted “learnings” that will need to be learnt following today’s game:

    - if we kick straight, we can win, even if we are playing poorly - think the Saints game, and what could have been if we’d kicked straight against the Swans.

    - we need to be switched on for the first bounce, not just after halftime- and we need to remain switched on for 4 quarters.

    - we have no idea what our “brand” of football looks like, let alone how to play it yet.

    - we need to make up our minds, before this season ends, as to whether we want 2 key forwards or one key forward; one ruckman or two - we cannot keep chopping and changing as this might affect how we play the game - see the learning above.

    - football IQ might be a good criteria to look at when selecting recruits; 

    - a club psychologist might be a good investment for next year

    - Hogan is still an AFL force - after he kicks 5 against us.

    - I’ll have a huge bag of learnings that I can draw upon at my next coaching job.

     

    I think we do:

    Only the last 14 years DOX??

     

    One positive is the conditions. Showers and wind up to 35kms are expected.

    With our skills and strong kicking techniques we have an advantage in those conditions.

    And with our strong focus on learnings the team that played in similar, albeit better conditions just four days ago, will adapt. Good that they didn't make many changes.

    Thought this would be the best place for advice and after reading I’ve decided not to call in sick at work tonight. Best I save some sick leave in case of a Wednesday night elimination final.

    These short turnarounds aren’t great for us supporters, we usually need a few more days to get over a sh*tshow like last Thursday.

    The match tonight will go one of the 2 following ways: 

    1. We will fall over the line in a close, ugly and uninspiring match. The players will act as if they've just won the flag and the club will tell us how we're building momentum. The supporters will roll their eyes, and go to bed with an empty and soulless feeling. 

    2. We will lose in a close, ugly and uninspiring match. The players will seem disappointed but ensure that we've improved in certain areas and reiterate that if we didn't have a mental lapse for those 15 minutes we would have won. Goodwin will tell us that while he's disappointed we didn't win, we're not far off. The supporters want to be angry but can't be f'd, the call for Goody's head intensifies.

    The dogs will win their last two games as unlike us they can be trusted to to so. That means that that if we lose tonight we are out of finals contention.

    So tonight is an elimination final.

    And if we win this game the GWS game will also bean elimination final.

    And if we happen to win the next two the Bombers game will bean elimination final . 

    And if we win that game we will be playing in an elimination final.

    Possibly against West Coast. In Perth.

    So your saying

    By losing tonight

    The club is just saving the faithful a lot of heart ache.

    If we are going to stay "on brand" @binman, my prediction is that we'll...

    Beat Freo

    Beat GWS

    Lose to the bombers and miss out on finals by percentage.

    Keep Goodwin

    instead of bombing the ball inside the f50 without thought, tonight we will attempt to sprint the ball inside the f50 without thought. 

    I had a play on the ladder predictor before and i predict gloom.

    With one small change, I have zero doubt that is exactly what will happen.

    The change is that the bombers will have no chance of playing finals and will have left almost all of their decent players out of the team for post season surgery or just to avoid one getting injured.  

    And like when we were beaten by their VFL team when they were danked their current VFL team will roll us. Just coz.

    Fremantle's last 5 games scores- 29, 53, 50, 36 and 48. Have only gone above 60 twice this year. Having said that they have the 3rd least points against. Seems they rely on a defensive game plan. So if we can get some forward connection I think we will win.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
