I've noticed a lot of posters quoting their feelings of MFCSS in the lead up to our Preliminary Final against Geelong.

It's time we reclaimed this negative acronym, make it our own and wear it with pride.

My proposal is that, henceforth, we assign the following meaning to the term:

MelbourneĀ Ā FootballĀ Ā ClubĀ Ā SeptemberĀ Ā Specialists

    You've gone the early crow on that.

    Let's revisit that in (hopefully) 2 weeks time.

    No, stuff it.Ā  Enough of the negativity, the doom and gloom and pessimism, the whining and moaning, thinking that the AFL and the umpires have it in for us, that we never have any luck, the self pitying and all that feeble-minded talk of curses, upsetting the footy gods, tempting fate and all that superstitious nonsense.

    The time is now.Ā  2021 is our year.Ā  Be positive, have belief, support our boys, think like a winner, embrace success and enjoy life as a Melbourne supporter.

    Go Demons.

    I canā€™t change anything Iā€™ve been doing all year or else it will jinx everything. Ā If negativity and angst is the cosmic secret to our success, then I need to keep doing it.

    Sorry demonstone but the true meaning of MFCSS is so deeply ingrained in my soul that the only cure is a premiership.

    For me, it is gone.

    Mysterious, inexplicable, and I don't know exactly when.

    I'm just not afraid any more. Not in the MFCSS way.

    For any given week or during any given game I'll be riding the details hard and feeling all the highs and lows, but I don't have that steady fog of anticipated miserableness.

    I worry about a bad game, I don't worry about a broken and humiliated club.

    Ease up. You're trying too hard. Take a chill pill, relax and watch the footy as it happens.Ā

    Same.
    I haven't watched any opposition games all year and refuse to start now.
    Missed a good game last night apparently.

    I worry about poor kicking for goal.
    Not taking our chances.

    Oh ... And injuries.

    MFCSS got me Ā in the end. I won't lie. In the early parts of that 3rd quarter I thought we'd run our race. We were flat, and had nothing left.

    I was wrong.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sundayā€™s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when itā€™s over.Ā  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competitionā€™s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fieryĀ interaction between Max Gawn and Steven MayĀ at the end of the gameĀ was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourneā€™s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on Kingā€™s Birthday.
