I haven't heard any other group of supporters talk up Hunter like they did.

 

Not even our supporters ☹️
 

Anyways I think it’s psychological. They probably wouldn’t talk him up so much were he not suspended this week. They’re trying to convince themselves that he’s a way bigger out for us than he is, and therefore there’s one less ‘superstar’ to worry about. Delusional [censored]-ers

Last week he absolutely was in our best players but personally I don’t think he is critical to our team. I really hope we see Rivers, Bowey or Salem given time on the wing this weekend.

I assume it's Neil Erasmus. Pick 10 in the 2021 draft. Listed as 190cm but he's just a kid, Trac would destroy him.

I also wish luck to anyone trying to rough up Steven May...

Must be the Griffin Logue of this year's game.

I think they're stupid.

Plus they have bigger things to worry about like the name of their home base.

More fun facts about Fred Fanning:

-  His 97 goals that year were the highest of any Melbourne player before or since.

-  The game where he kicked 18 was the last game of the season in 1947.

-  His next game was for Hamilton in the Western District League where he was offered a coaching position for an amount of money four times his VFL pay and Melbourne couldn't/wouldn't match it.

-  He kicked 22 goals in one of his games for Hamilton.

My old man played with him for Hamilton (and against him later when Fanning moved to Coleraine).

Said he was very tough but not as good a footballer as Bill Barham who was father of Bill and Jamie who both played a few games for Melbourne and also Ricky Barham who played alright for Collingwood for many years.

Country football would have put Michael Christian about 5 weeks behind in writing up suspensions if today's rules were in place.

It's a real suburb and it kinda suits that's where they train.

 

...It's actually pronounced with a silent ck, except for the purposes of this forum, in which case, I'm happy to forget that.

    POINT WELL MADE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons had a number of points to make to themselves, their opponents and the VFL football world when they traveled up to the Gold Coast to take on the Southport Sharks in the 2022 Grand Final rematch at Fankhauser Reserve.  After living off the glory of an almost perfect premiership, the Demons stumbled after winning the opening four games of the season and have struggled in their recent northern state sojourns - their only loss in 2022 came at the hands of the Lions in Brisbane a

    BLUES FREE FOOTY by George on the Outer

    Long time supporters would be all too familiar with the call “free kick, Hawthorn”, as umpires seemed to gift certain teams an inordinate amount of free kicks in the game. Similarly, in the Melbourne v Carlton game a 22 to 13 free kick count, was grossly out of place given the dominance of Melbourne in just about every other statistic for the game.   However, for the Blues with only 4½ wins from their 12 games, their season is rapidly heading the same way as Hawthorn, despite all the help t

    GAMEDAY: Rd 12 vs Carlton

    The Blues season is on the line and their captain and coach have been in the firing line all week. If the Dees cough this one up the media's crosshairs will do a 180 and will surely be directed at the Demons who have only won 13 games from their last 25 outings. This is a must win game for the Melbourne Football Club too.

    DOCTORS AND LAWYERS by The Oracle

    We’ve seen it all before.   Club in turmoil. Coach under pressure. Club President caught up in a tax scandal. Club board not seeing eye to eye with one board member resigning amid questions about whether he was pushed or did he jump? Unrest bordering on hysteria among the supporters. Team dropping from undefeated after four rounds to 13th after ten. Allegations of favoured treatment of players. Players out of form, forwards with the kicking yips, a bruising injury list with some facing

    WRITING ON THE WALL by Whispering Jack

    The Narrm Football Club found a second way in the space of 12 months less a day to unexpectedly lose a home game against Walyalup on Saturday afternoon. The equivalent match of last year has been described as Melbourne’s “ground zero” of 2022 where things went wrong for the club after a long run of wins that included its 57 year drought-breaking premiership triumph. Unfortunately for the Demons, the 2023 version was a case of deja vu with the Dockers overcoming a half time deficit and runn
