Significant here is also the delisting of the failed Oscar Macdonald project,

If only we didnt embark on this, we'd have also kept Frosty

To be fair 'bin', Brian is still trying to get the players names right...I mean they only have big numbers on their backs and they all have a different gait and approach at the footy.

Once he sorts this out he will then move on to rules of the game, which he still really struggles with.

Then he's got anatomy...doesn't seem to be able to tell the difference between a twisted ankle and a head knock.

This of course doesn't stop him from giving medical opinions that the player in question should be back on soon.

So then 'bin' he can start to deal with strategy and stats...

I pressed the react button but then found myself torn between the laughing and crying emojis. You’re so right.

In 1965 the match against St Kilda was the 9 round and 2 of our major defenders left the club Brian Roet and Trevor Johnson to pursue their Jobs Overseas both were in exceptional form and never could be replaced.

Brian was the CHB and Trevor was in the BP covering the Rucks, we also lost McLean to Carlton who was playing CHB.

Late we lost Tony Anderson later and Brian Leahy.

The MFC defence never recovered fron these loss in 1965.

I agree?

 

Did not think we would be reading threads like this.

Remember when May came and was acused of being unfit and unprofessional?

Or Lever being very inconsistent?

Last year Adam T looked very shaky.

So ok , not sure about the mighty Jetta who hasnt been his old self but wow talk about turn around.

May is now the best defender in the comp no doubt about it.

Lever has shown why we got him with his intercept marking, reading of play, attack on the ball and great leadership.

Hunt has been a revelation.

Gus is back to his old self.

Rivers is going from strength to strength and his confidence is showing

And Hibberd played his best game last week even though it was his first for the year.

I do know this has been the best Ive seen in the last 30 years.

And it's just the start of a defence type dynasty with a couple of others on the way when we get the odd injury or suspension!

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
