But it was under constant pressure on the ball carrier. Imagine if MFC could apply that sort of pressure across the whole ground, pressure not only on the ball carrier but on all his options up the gr

Tiges smashed the Cats, scoring an amazing 7 goals. In some quarters they slammed on 2 goals. What has happened to our game?

Tomorrow, I will be 100% behind Clarko and the Hawks to pull off the upset of the year. 

And on Monday, I’ll be going for the Suns to beat the Pies.

There’s also a terrific game coming up on Friday night when GWS Giants play St Kilda at the Gabba where a win to the Giants will mean that we have the opportunity to overtake the Saints if we can beat the Bombers and make up percentage. It could be a nail biting weekend coming up.

Hawks can win for sure, Dogs are hardly world beaters.

Hawthorn is tripe though.

Still, we've seen Adelaide beat GWS and Sydney beat us over the last 10 days, so bad sides can get up to win games.

IMO the bigger danger for the Dogs is Fremantle.

Yeah Hawks have been terrible, they got back McEvoy, O'Meara and Burgyoyne for this game which hopefully helps them a bit.

As you say anything can happen.

Wishful thinking to expect Hawthorn to beat the Bulldogs who are coming off a very benevolent draw which has seen them stay in Queensland for quite a while and with a recent bye, all of which ensures that they have plenty of petroleum in their tank. They have all the incentive to win today and should do it easily against the Hawks who gave up caring a little while ago.

Hogan kicked 4 today. Wish we had someone capable of doing that for us!

 

I hope we get him back to the club.   Weidemans last few weeks after showing improvement is a real worry and Luke Jackson may not be a key forward.

The ideal scenario would be gold coast somehow beating the pies and then port beating them then the pies miss finals and us and the dogs take the final spots.

But as much as I like the dogs it would be so good if the hawks could win today.

Need some Clarko genius today

Problem is if Hawks beat Dogs we’re in 8 and back in control of our run to finals...

 

... and we all know what’ll happen next. ?

Sometimes i think the lower sides that have been losing and suddenly start showing some form, are harder to defend against

Crows are on a roll: thrashing Carlton.  That might change but they have a big 5 goal lead!

Glad we played Crows when we did.

Carlton are terrible in the first quarter of games. 

 They will end up winning (or losing) this game by less than a goal.

We've got our own problems but wouldn't supporting Carlton do your head in. You may as well skip the 1st quarter and watch the game from there. In a positive I've got a head to head bet with my Carlton mate. Dees to finish above Carlton an Fritsch to kick more goals than Betts. It's taken the length of the season but I got there.

Crows pressure and tackling is elite. If Dees could do that we'd be a way better side. I think we're the 16th ranked pressure side in the comp.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    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
