OK, I'll start:

Kangas'll have the tusk ahead of them...

 

Wonder if the North game will be in Hobart and the Cup comes at the same time?

You may very well be on the money but I was under the impression no club will be travelling in week 1 in order to mitigate the risk of COVID.

Will it be a full-length game or a trunkated version?

There's only one way to beat North Melbourne

one bite at a time.

A really mammoth tusk. Or, if you will, a woolly mammoth tusk.

You're all dodging around something.

You know, that mammal in the room?

ivory-ly agree


Off season chat is SO much better when we are not reigning premiers.

At least there is actual speculation as to what the season ahead may bring.

There's lots of speculation on other threads, Faulty! But the cockiness of supremacy always threatens - as is the case here - to lead to frivolity.

For my part, I apologise.

Nah. Just joking.

Can't blame anyone for enjoying the moment, except for the 20 year olds who have no idea what "wait and hope" means.

My boy, who is 16, had to front up at primary school week after week in multiple seasons when we won 2-4 games and cop it from everyone in the school (except from the one other kid who was a dees supporter). 

I reckon even the 20 year olds would understand what wait and hope means and equally deserve to enjoy the moment.

Hawthorn and Collingwood is at Morwell on February 25. Guessing the rest will be announced soon.


I've heard a rumour that for the Melb v North scratch match we'll be playing for the Ben Brown Trophy which will look just like this but with the third finger upright, rather than the second.

That's the official Practice game not the second one that 2 Clubs are nominated to get together and sort out Tomes anDates. 
We play Carlton at Marvel in our Official Clash the date has been publicised by the AFL previously.

Wrong. Hawthorn play Richmond in Devonport in the official games on March 5.

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
