Finish the Job…..


There is a line Winston Wolf uses in Pulp Fiction as he, Jules and Vinnie are close to cleaning up the dead body in the suburban house, but not quite over the line.

I will refrain from using it because of how coarse it was, and that it wouldn’t apply to female members of the board.

However, the sentiment he expressed is one I feel comfortable expressing.

Can confirm that the video does its job and I am appropriately pumped for tomorrow night! 

Good choice of tune as well!

I was reading some comments on the MFC website where it was stated that the team was the 2nd youngest fielded on the weekend making the win even more remarkable.

Awesome vid! I’ve watched it several times over. I’m probs in the minority but whilst the lyrics are totally fitting, I personally  don’t like the song. But you can’t please everyone, right?

Who sings this?

Thanks for the vid - muchly appreciated.

It’s called Mammoth by a band called Mammoth WVH. I Shazamed it to find that info.

Thanks to you (and everyone so far) for the feedback!

Song is called Mammoth by a band called Mammoth WVH which is fronted by Eddie Van Halen's son. Having listened to their album, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

Hmmmm.  Is it just coincidence that jumbo likes this post?

Further, is it true that jumbo's all-time favourite album is Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk"?

The year is 1988. We scraped into the finals, beat WCE by a bee's proverbial, then comfortably won our way to the GF. Who's there waiting for us? One of the great teams of the era. The powerful Hawks. Carlton had upset them the year before ... maybe this year an upset is on the cards?

No such luck. They drummed us into the ground and kept drumming. Game over at 1/4 time. Disaster.

The year is 2000. Nice high finish on the ladder ... no scraping in this time. The historic comeback against Carlton, who really should have had no problem dispatching us comfortably. On to the grand final. Who's there waiting for us? One of the great teams of the era. The powerful Bombers.  Dogs beat them in a freakish upset near season's end. Maybe we can too?

No such luck. EFC then proceeded to take us apart the same way they'd done to sides all year.  Game over at 1/4 time. Disaster.

 

 

Each time it felt like boys versus men. And we suffered the likely outcome.

 

 

The year is 2021. The Mighty MFC is the best team for the H/A season, having beaten all the top sides.

This time it's different. This time we're in the box seat. Our team is settled, our style is solid, our boys are confident. We have genuine stars on every line.

This is the year.

I love this, Mazer. Makes me wish our match was tonight!

Great summation.

I'm here to believe as well, after waiting  57 years.

I just got a massive delivery of cheese and French champagne as an early birthday present from friends… so that’s me sorted. 
Cheese sweats and stress sweats.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
