On the train now, Sunbury line. It's pretty empty for a Friday night regardless of the footy. How's all the other trains looking like?

I’ve made it from the farm… and it’s dry! And, Viney is built for these conditions and these contexts. Expecting a continuation of his ripping form.

Ahh ... No they're not.

I got to choose which giant head I’ll be waving. I could’ve picked Hunty my fave but I thought in light of what happened yesterday I’d go the Ed Head

While he did play against Collingwood again (and lose), I felt this goal provided a great sense of symmetry to Jack's career in hindsight. 

That was the last time we genuinely stuck it up the barstards. Fingers crossed we can do it again tonight.

Another one from the time capsule.

The stakes were low. The atmosphere middling. The standard of play mediocre.

But it was all worth it for this.

To my knowledge, we ended this self indulgent rubbish as this was the last 'Press Red for Ed' match Eddie ever commentated.

You have mail?


At the ground an hour early. Bumped off some pre game beers in Swan St. For a game like this, I do not want to muck around with entry and all that jazz.

I have a theory, when the sub is named the afl.com.au team positions update to show the official team sheet including starting positions. Check it out.

Reckon we’ll be outnumbered tonight but thanks for the $$$$

Aside from the coin, It’s good exposure to the scrutiny and adversarial conditions that’ll come in Sept 👌

The end cracks me up when we beat them & Ed's like well thats it boys

[censored] hate the modern way of selling all the good GA seats as reserved.  They should always leave some decient ones for first in best dressed IMO.

As MFC members at every other MFC home game this year (been to most) we've been able to sit freely on level on Southern stand - good reward for loyal support of the club NOT!

Any demonlanders in the J Ryder room?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
