Time for a shout out to the Club for the fantastic stuff they are putting on the MFC site at the moment.

And a special shout out to Jack, Tom and Max who have been front and centre of so many thrashings and so much pain as we bottomed and then rebuilt.  What a mighty effort to stay the distance when it would have been so much easier to just take easier options.  Jack's bit on the MFC site is a huge insight into the frustrations and hurt the players endured and make the "the players don't care" comments just so inappropriate.

And of course to JT, to hear his comments on the strain of watching your picks run around and wondering if you'll have a job in future just as telling.  Of course that applies to all the FD staff.  What a brutal business.

    Max and Gawn there from when Roos/PJ arrived

     ......... and don't forget Jonesy and Jetts, who both stayed the course during the tough times, but also suffered the disappointment of not having a Premiership Medal to show for their sacrifices.

    What ‘they’ have done in 7 years is utterly staggering. Documentary worthy. 30 for 30 type stuff

    Great call.

    Over the journey I have been a big critic of the club's coms and fan engagement - and in particular the lack of sort of content you note.

    But huge credit where it is due - they have been terrific this season, particularly the last third of it and post grand final. Brilliant.

    And i'll bet London to a brick that the traffic to the MFC has had huge spike - which is awesome for the sponsors.

    By the round one 2022, the All the GF goals video will have been watched more often than the Squid Game and Haynes paints will be synonymous with perfection.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
