    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: 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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
