Lobb is leaving because his partner wants to return to the eastern states. Nothing to do with issues at Freo

We should hook her up with Jacko.   :)

    Agree.

    It's a bit weird because I think their  biggest need, by far, is a couple of high quality big bodied midfield bulls to compete with the bontempellis, cripps and Oliver types.

     

    Nat Fyfe is probably that mid

    Using a few assumptions, he would’ve earned the equivalent of 1,692,900 Qantas frequent flyer points over the course of his playing career… surely they give him the chance to crack the 2 million?  Cruel.

    Worthy of another year for sure. At 37 unlikely to be that expensive either. Strange decision

    Shades of Boomer Harvey. Get rid of one of your best because, you know, age!

    It makes you wonder whether they are serious about the business of winning a Premiership. Mundy is an awesome player and I'd still rate as among their best players.

    It’s reminiscent of North forcing Brent Harvey out when he was in blistering form at the back end of his career. And look at North now…

    But this is just a snap shot in time. Just like we could have said the same about the Dees in 2017 - 'And look at the Dees now' - yet 5 years further on - we still made the same decision re: James,  'And look at the Dees now'.

    I guess what I am saying, is the decision to end Boomers career,  has no baring on the future of North, just like James McDonalds' had no baring on where we are, and similarly where Freo will be.

    The case can be made that it slow tracks development though getting rid of leaders too early. Could it be done better?

    At least they honoured him with an award, the DCM.

    Don't Come Mundy.

    • 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.
