    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
