Hi all! 

What a season its been so far! In the lead to our first final, here's a cheeky retrospective of Melbourne's 2021 AFL Season to date that I've just finished clipping together.

Enjoy!

Feel free to share any other retrospective/pump up/hype videos that you come across here.

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?

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.

Great summation.

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.

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
