I don't subscribe to the views of @JimmyGadson, @fr_ap and @dazzledavey36. If we had lost our finals by 5 goals each there would be serious cause for concern.  But we didn't and the majority unde

Guys, I can let you know that the lifestyle story around Grundy to Sydney is not quite correct. More accurately is that Longmire impressed far more than Hinkley and the two 23 year olds Ken brought to

You might find this interesting because at this stage I don’t believe the media even know about it. As strange as it seems, Taylor Adams from the Pies has contacted the Swans himself to discuss t

I was going to start a whole new topic but I'll just post it here.

From most important needs we need to address? What are our key needs to get us over the line for a Premiership/s in the next 2-3 years?

1. Key Power Forward (clunking mark forward) (Trading)

2. Young gun skillful midfielder (Draft) Top pick

3. 2nd Ruck/Forward who can play forward (Trading)

4. Fast Small crumbing forward goalsneak (Draft) 2nd rounder

 

Virtually every club is after those 4 players.  Alot of teams could win a flag if they signed all  of the above.

Norff get a decent shot at recruiting some but we are down the queue.

Lucky if we snag one but fantastic if we fluke a second. MFC is a flag window club so players will seriously consider us.

I’m worried about Petty and the Crows

The only way we would be consider trading Petty would be if we believe his foot is cooked.

Don't leave us hanging Redman.

Sorry, I didn't mean it to read bad news for us, but rather, not much news for us.

Hope I haven't caused any stress.

Petty's family home is in Wudinna, which is 570km from Adelaide and a 6 hour drive.  He was a boarder at a school in Adelaide, but family ties are nowhere near Adelaide.

He's contracted until 2025 and I have zero concerns about him leaving.

Both GF teams have their pros and cons. No team is ever perfect.
Dees not far away.

If we execute in the big games, we win. It’s that simple. We might need to get 1-2 top up players but it’s not a huge step. 

Of course we aren’t far away. 

But we play cagey boring footy and that is not what wins flags. Also, wrong thread for this.

Funny that as we recently won one

Not to pile on you but what was the difference between regular season MFC in 2021 and last few rounds/finals MFC in 2021?

Positive and confident ball movement would be right up there. It’s what Binman and a few others seem to think is a spigot we can turn on whenever we want.

Its learned and trained and we have work to do.

This has been debunked by Sam Edmund as pure guess work from a random nuffy supporter who texted in to SEN. SEN then did some follow up work.

Edmund on to say that he doesn't think there is anything in the works and that Melbourne are now acknowledging that games need to be put into the younger players instead of going out and buying big.

Sorry to disappoint.

If that is true then we are about to squander the best midfield, ruck and defensive talent and structure we've had in living memory when there is 1-2 years left in the window tops.

I would have a crack at Hollands. Looks the goods and with Harmes, Jordon and Dunstan gone he should get a game.

These are all good points, which is why I am in favour of us going for a forward/ruck like Chol or Casboult, who could play as second ruck or fill in if Gawn gets injured. 

Casboult looks cooked to me

I think we should make our best 22 the best it could possibly be

BACKLINE: McVee keeps his spot, May keeps his spot, Lever keeps his spot. Rivers keeps his spot, we have no CHB Tomlinson is useless and Turner has had limited opportunities that's a spot we should look to cover trade week or draft night. Salem needs to improve to keep his spot that's another position we should try to cover trade week or draft night. Bowey keeps his spot.Noble should be looked at IMO. Howes is depth ATS.

 

MIDFIELD : Langdon needs to improve to keep his spot. Oliver keeps his spot, Hunter keeps his spot. Gawn keeps his spot, Brayshaw keeps his spot, Viney keeps his spot and Sparrow keeps his spot. We need another midfielder and I think Sanders will be our man. We should look at Hollands IMO. Woewodin is depth ATS.

 

FORWARDS: Petracca keeps his spot, van Rooyen keeps his spot, Neal-Bullen keeps his spot. Fritsch keeps his spot, Petty keeps his spot and Pickett keeps his spot. J.Smith keeps his spot too. Spargo, Laurie and Chandler are depth ATS. We are looking at McAdam.

 

CONCLUSION: I think we need a CHB, a half back, a wingman and midfielder and pray we don't get injuries to our best 22.

Langdon, like Samson, lost his strength when he decided to go bald. Please grow the hair mate!

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
