I am positive in most things but the MFC is a totally different kettle of fish.

There ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory is the thing we do first class.

    Some never miss a chance to be first in with the gloomiest interpretation of anything.  I expect it is some sort of primitive magic where by stating the pessimistic view, it is hoped that will prevent it actually occurring.  Or maybe they are just genuine pessimists.

    I am an optimist except when it comes to the MFC when I am more of a realist!

    Yes, and if I didn't have double kneemonia I'd be genuflecting as well.

    Funnily enough I'm the opposite. Generally considered a pessimist, but I'm an optimist when it comes to the MFC.

    Why ? What is it that the  MFC does that makes you positive?

    There’s a fine line between optimism and delusion.

    I vaguely remember that when he left it was family reasons, and therefor considered a private matter. I guess when you’re a football nothing is really private. I hope he and his family are ok during this tough time.

    Would you prefer to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong, or a pessimist who is always right? ?

    Think of the joy experienced by a pessimist when they are occasionally proven wrong.

    Unfortunately the pessimist will say it won't last long or they will find something else to be pessimistic about.

    When it's something over which you have no control - optimism is the only rational position.

    Per Alan Richardson his mom passed away. Funeral late Feb / early Mar so It'll be a few weeks before he returns. Condolences to the young man and his family.

    Really sad about young Kozzy. Condolences to him and his family. As Richardson said, we are extremely lucky to have Mathew Whelan as a guide of support for Kozzy. The beauty about is that he's still training over there I'm guessing with a SANFL club.

    Great opportunity for the likes of Bedford, Chandler to stand up.

    Makes sense that there are rumours about offering Kobe Farmer a spot on our list.

    Dazzle can you explain the link between Kossie being absent and the rumour of Kibe Farmer being offered a spot on the list?

    Condolences to Kozzie and his family. Look forward to seeing him return once he’s ready and not a moment earlier.

    @Dannyz mentioned on here that Kobe has been offered a spot on our list. Just pending an announcement soon.

    Yes I know, but you seemed to link Kossie's situation with Kobe's possible promotion.  I don't get the connection and was wondering what it was.

    Kozzy went up to SA about 2 weeks ago. It only came last week by Dannyz that it was pretty much a confirmation that Kobe has been offered a spot. Some people on here who have watched training would say that maybe Deakyn Smith was ahead of Farmer. But to Kobe's credit, he too has apparently trained extremely hard, and if he has made the squad, it'll be off the back of hard work.

    Hearing Richo say that Pickett may not be due back to the club until March means he'll be away from the club for over a month. While I'm sure he'll be training with with WWT in the SANFL he'll still need a few weeks to catch up to AFL fitness. In fact I personally think this puts him in doubt for round 1. I'm sensitive to Pickett's current situation due to my current role working with a lot of indigenous family, and the mourning process can at times extend further after the initial funeral. I'm glad he's getting the right support and me personally hopes he takes all the time in the world before he feels comfortable coming back to Melbourne. 

    If Kobe's training form been strong as documented on here then I'm sure they'll look at him over the trial games etc, and who knows? Maybe he pushes his case for round 1?

    In saying that though there has been no confirmation at all about Kobe, so it's all speculation.

    • 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.
