Call an exorcist!

Only if we can keep up with the payments.   Otherwise we might get repossessed.

     I think won one. Versus North in 2022 at Docklands .

    That was our 10th win on the trot and it was not a convincing win.  After that game  we lost the next two in a row.

     

    May have also been the game where T-Mac hurt his foot and Lingers had his ribs broken?

    Like when they came round to ask you about jumper design, logos, and flogging home games interstate?

    I don't give a toss if we change the name or not, but the way some people carry on you'd think we're playing under the name Al Qaida.

    If Perty does happen to be reading I prefer the jumper without the little MFC badge under the Zurich ad so if we can get rid of it that would be good. Seems like our win/loss ratio is worse since we put it on there too.

    No issues being narrm for a couple of weeks..

    Obviously the name has nothing to do with the losses.

    But I'll be pleased when this sort of utter tripe ends.

    Thanks Tucker 👍

    Under all of your examples we play as MFC so fail to see how any of that is relevant

    @binman might argue that the Narrm rounds happen at the same time each year (late-May), when the club is putting certain efforts into fitness…

    It certainly does seem to coincide with the time of season.

    Maybe we should be narm in the preseason only, if at all

    Viet-narm 

    Harold Holt went all the way with LBJ. (Or as the joke doing the rounds at the time had it, Zara did.) Normie Rowe, Ho Chi Minh, General Westmoreland, Tet Offensive Jane Fonda, Vietcong, Nui Dat, Conscription, The Moratorium, Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger, Paris Peace conference.
     

    At least the music was good…

    Our evolutionary focus on pattern recognition, a key to our survival, is not always correct. The brain excels at finding meaning in randomness, a skill that once helped us anticipate threats and opportunities. However, this can lead to confirmation bias – we overemphasize coincidences that fit our existing beliefs.

    It's a fascinating paradox: our very strength in pattern recognition can create psychological vulnerabilities when faced with the randomness of life.

    Try "Chaos Theory" 

    there is an order in chaos just need data to identify the patterns, etc.

    Has Naarm lost four finals in a row?

    If they’d played in 4 I think it’s fair to say they would have been humbled in 4 

    Bottom 2 side

    It’s almost like Melbourne and Naarm are the same team 🤔

    rumour has it North don’t want to change their name to North Narrm as they are worried about losing games under the new name

    Win loss ratio would suggest they are not

    They seem to have that covered already - unless they are playing Narrm in which they may look like champs for a half

    IMO this whole thread is disrespectful to MFC and in particular to its indigenous players and officials. 

    Moderator should note some of the unsavoury comments and act appropriately.

    What other very easily identifiable observable realities do you incorrectly assess with win loss ratios?

    We should change to Narrm permanently. It has more relevance than the name of some 19th century British lord.

    LOL

    Maybe there is some ancient Indigenous ceremony that wards off evil spirits that could be conducted before Narrm play next time? 😁

    Yes there is a guy up in Armidale apparently gets rid of bad sprits or so im am informed

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
