    Yes, and that Robbie Flower was a real dud too

    Agreed. This team has had some great players and yes , Flower and Yze had some great moments but success is judged on premierships in my view and I’m entitled to an opinion.

    Yes Aaron was great fun to watch.

    Yze was a match winner at his best. His years under Clarkson can only bring valuable insights. Personally I don’t care if we get him or not. Our head coach has a lot to learn and he best get started soon

    No premiership since 1964. The players should be ashamed of themselves.

    I spoke to Petracca not long ago actually, he said he was ashamed of himself for not winning the 1972 flag.

    Excited about Yze coming but being an assistant is very different to being the head guy. It’s more of a team manager position these days. 

    Hopefully he can assist Goody and the players in being successful next year

    Any updates on this? 

    Could potentially be another week or two before anything official is announced. Contract details etc are still being sorted out apparently.

    I rarely, rarely mute anyone because even cranky or unreliable people can sometimes contribute.

    So if it turns out that one day Coq au vin does say anything fun, informative or in any way not just a tent-fart, I'm relying on the community to quote it.  Thanks in advance.

     

    Wait... where's the mute button gone?  Did we lose it in the software update?  Noooooo.

    Getting in true Melbourne people - really good ones from all reports too - is the best result. 

    I think Yze would thus have an inherent ruthless edge that the club wants. True investment.

    Hope he pulls his socks up, along with everyone else's.

    Stats don’t tell the whole story. How many premierships did we win with him in the team?

    Correct, they don’t tell the whole story, but stats do tell a lot of the story. Watching him play and the impact he had tells the rest.

    I guess we have had no good players since 64 then, according to your premierships will only make you a good player.

    i could list the many, many players from all clubs who are out and out stars that haven’t won a flag, but I guess then they are no good either?

    He didn’t win any in seasons he’s been in either. Let’s hope that’s still to come.

    I didn’t say Yze was no good. I loved watching him play. His last game with his family in the stands was wonderful.

    Nope. I’m just disappointed in all the talented players that we’ve had and no premiership since 1964. That’s what makes them all losers in a sense. It’s a team not an individual event.

    Yea, mate, this is an MFC forum. Literally everybody here is disappointed. Doesn’t excuse spouting off with rude hyperbole and it doesn’t give in depth meaning to  grand, sweeping statements. Temperance, fella. 
     

    P.S Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooze

    OK fair enough. So what’s the answer to all our woes?

    One of the all time dumbest arguments I've ever seen.

    Yes, you are.

    But when your opinion is ridiculous, be prepared to cop flak for it.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
