Sometimes I think MFC has shares in a medical practice specialising in thoracic surgery and depression. 
 

Well my doctor is a melbourne member and said we spend a $$$$ on depression pills?

Twitter. 

I'll obviously take the word of some on here over that, so going by someone like titan, whose view on a game I trust, he gave us nothing. 

Not quite true. I generally agree with @titan_uranus on Smith in that he's not a footballer, but he actually made a number of good spoils and rebounded off his man a number of times in the first three quarters. I wouldn't have him in my team, but he probably played his best defensive game ever today.

Put the cue stick in the rack at 3rd qtr time and pulled it back out for the last 5 mins.

Thanks again to the AFL for making us play 15 games straight without a bye and scheduling 2 games cramned in Cairns in abhorrent conditions.

Wouldn't happen to a Geelong, Collingwood, Carlton, Richmond would it. 

Phark you'se where it hurts.

Mitch brown 20 disposals and 13 marks..  this is the guy who was out of the side all season when we have been crying out for a big forward.

Our selection committee is pure rubbish.

It could be worse. You could be Essendon watching a player they delisted play like that against them.

 

Want trouble any side playing finals with fade outs like that to a bottom side once again.. same old issues & Goodwin can’t fix them... our fwd structures not working & can’t take a mark vs a bottom side taking marks & scoring, Weiderman goalless 4 games in a row

Melksham nowhere. What is his role? What happened since 2018?? Very lazy

Really needs to be addressed Im afraid.

To think the bloke was given a captains birth in one game.

Had more chances than Tmac.

Don't leave out his perfect hand pass to the Essendon player in that last quarter.

We need a Power Forward desperately.

As many problems as Hogan had he was a Powerhouse in the forward line who took all the pressure off by crashing packs and taking clunk marks.

Eddie McGuire has to be the worst commentator of all time.

His job is to call the play.

Instead we get a combination of cheering for the underdog, umpire bashing, expert analysis, lame Collingwood references, and snide remarks to an entire supporter base. Every time he's on.

He can [censored] right off.

You can add in self congratulation

If Freo get up I hope we bring Jackson in to provide some X-factor and a foil for Weideman up forward.

It'd be great too to see May play his first ever final.

Our second tier players  in Hunt, ANB, Brown, and the youngy's in Rivers and Kossi  kept us in it.

Petrac, Clarry, , Langdon and Gawn   stood up as usual.  However  Lever had a great game IMO he steadied the ship all day.  Held the backline together while May was his usual best defending stoutly.

thats self flagulation


That really was The Salem that we all loved.

Made a big difference.

I think he and Jetta not like they used to be has been a big difference since 2018.

Them and Hogan, Tmac and Garlett  scoring a bag load of goals.

On the positive we now have AA  May, Langdon, young and young Rivers.

Fix Frittas kicking and pick up a proven 40 plus goaler and we could be in business next season.

As I said, I wouldn't have him in my team, but I don't think it's fair to say he didn't do his job in the first three quarters. For the most part, he did.

If we make finals Weideman should be dropped for LJ.

 

so SAY we qualify and play away to Weagles

Smith stays in due to their height unless we role the ball on Hore?

vandenberg makes way for Harmes who trains the house down?

ANB makes way for the Jones fairytail?

Melky did not do enough to keep out Jackson to match their aerial power?

theyre the calls we have to make

It was a decent win in a must-win game.  Essendon have talent and they've gone 12-10 the last 3 years.  Notable that we've gone 6-4 since the compressed fixture while they've gone 1-1-8.  They were going to get momentum at some stage and to play the all out attack they needed gave us opportunities out the back which we took.  We won 68-49.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
