    Doesn’t mean you have to keep saying it over and over and over again, especially in the Non-MFC thread. We get it, we all know what happened. You reminding us at any and every opportunity isn’t gonna change what happened so why do it?

    binman - I haven’t watched any games this weekend but looked at the current scores and thought exactly the same as you predicted.   Bizarre. 
    Do different clubs load differently ??🤔🤔🤗

    According to Libby Birch, it sounds as if collectivey clubs are taking a different approach to their high performance programs this year.

    And then there is individual program differences- eg the cats model of managing players ad opposed to ours of not doing so.

    But I was more referring to the bye period.

    Every year for the last 5 years or so there are crazy results around the mid point of the season.

    A big factor is the accumulative fatigue all teams experience at the half way point of the season.

    Another is the aforementioned differences in programs, including when they do a big block of intensity and density and how they manage the bye period.

    It's all made worse by the AFL's greed. They should go back to all teams having their bye at the same time.

    But that ain't gonna happen because the AFL, nor fox and 7, dont want a football free weekend.

    So instead we have the ridiculous situation of byes being spread over several weeks meaning it's all over the place in terms of when teams play each other - eg, both coming off a bye, only one coming off a bye, one team not yey having their bye and the other 2 weeks post bye etc etc.

    And this year it's even more absurd with the teams playing in OR having 2 byes.

    It is just ridiculous.

    Start practicing the 'No Reid, no Eagles' taunt because it is going to be fresh and current for 15 years.

    Like having Judd but no Cousins, Kerr, Fletcher or Chick.

    Lol. The ultimate winning culture midfield.

    Some people enjoy being miserable. How you deal with disappointment is a choice - I don’t know why some people choose self-flagellation over and over.

    Eagles are putrid. 

    Nick Larkey is wasted at North

    So is it “no Reid, no Eagles”?

    Maybe we can scoop both Reid and Larkey with some clever trading 🤔🙄🤗

    Clarko would probably need to be on the bench now to steady the team, but because he can't control himself he has to stay in the box.

    Roos really shot themselves in the foot last year not getting Reid. That win hasn't exactly built a winning culture and cost them a generational player.

    Loyalty is a rare thing in today's game so you have to admire him for that. Maybe we'll see him in red & blue four years from now when both his knees are shot. 

    … and we win a Flag with him? Awesome!

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
