    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!

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
