How is Darwin better for sprint work than melbourne? just asking, I have no idea I don't see any big advantage to going up there for a week aside from the mental break and to get some sunshine. The club might think being in our great facilities and keeping routine right now is the best way to go. and we also dont want to have our injured players for a plane for 8 hours. Hopefully the Darwin/Alice thing will finish soon and we can act like a proper club that wants to use every advantage to win games

Most people wanted to drop Wagner last week but it seems not to be the case this week hopefully lesson learned that if a player has talent to give them more than one week back from injury before dropping them (eg, J Smith)

bit of an exaggeration, 3 games in 29 days is another way of putting it. but I get what your saying they missed 2 games in 3 weeks and that meant they could not prepare as usual and threw them off a bit physically. teams will just have to learn how to prepare for this better to me it was more a coincidence. GWS should have won and Sydney were the best team last year and were top of the ladder

what a load of rubbish this 'struggling after the bye' is. funny how the top 2 don't complain when they have a week off before the prelim (and more often than not, win the prelim) I agree that the pre finals bye will suit us. Oliver/Trac etc will be hanging for it

Good that we have 3 games at the G in the lead up to finals. favourable fixturing for once

Watts out again after "he should be right this week" for 3 weeks straight! WTF. why do I always fall for the MFC BS speak. just tell us he did his hammy and its 3-4 weeks FFS

Ill be sick if the drug cheats make the finals. I reckon the saints will account for them on friday so they have to win 5 out of 6 to get 12 wins after that. very soft run but hopefully they slip up. they lost to brisbane FFS

we play the 3 worst sides in the league and we need 3 wins to make the 8 so unless something catastrophic happens, we will at least limp in to the 8. I predict 4 wins. if we were playing the saints at the moment, they would roll us as they are in form so I'm glad its not for a few weeks. Round 17 looms as a preview of our Prelim Round 18 preview of our elimination final and round 20 - preview of the GF. where Viney rams scullys head into the turf at the first bounce and we win by 10 goals! **** started off ok in this post and now I've got carried away!!

A fine only! at least membry got 2 weeks, that should hurt the saints

great stuff from Lewis. taking the pi$$ out of the media and the 'experts'. and his words about Jetta are awesome too! "I don’t want to pump up his tyres too much, but I reckon he’s the most underrated backline player in the competition – he’s extraordinary" http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2017-07-10/culture-issues-laughable-says-lewis

Straight to the Tribunal! He walked at a fan when verbally abused, give him 10 weeks! What the F!?

id be happy with 9 more pictures of Daisy!

one awful thing? Milkshake was poor, 6 clangers but only 3 contested possessions, 50% efficiency. he does try hard in his defence but his decision making is terrible I'd certainly drop him for Tyson. Pedo out for Watts reluctantly

how good is Jetta at not giving away free kicks but winning 1 on 1s? he pulls the players' hips back subtly, arm around the shoulder for a second and then slinks in front to spoil. an absolute natural would be awesome if he could make it to 200 games.

how is this even an issue? a bit of back chat to a idiotic fan. the club will teach the kid not to bother and we move on The media really have a hard-on for us at the moment and these "discipline issues" at the club. love how Goody is sticking up for Clayton and the club. how about writing an article on the win and what it means FFS! very likely we play finals because of yesterday

Need a poo emoji for today. Gonna be a long lead up blues have nothing to play for apart from pride and we have so much. And we will be fired up for hoges. We finally had a long break, so those factors should just get us over the line despite injuries.

That Trengove fella looks alright. Might be worth a try at AFL level

yeah. ironically the bloke Hogan decked

they are debating whether of not to boo a bloke first game back after cancer? says it all about Carlton supporters

Goodwin confirmed Trenners wont play at his presser just now :-(

average of over 40K? unbelievable! well done MFC led by PJ. decent fixture money wise, friday night game finally and the anzac eve game was genius. QB gets bigger every year with ND on board. most important our team can now play afl footy I remember a few years back while were getting one of many, many hammerings, waiting for the attendance to come up and hoping to see a 2 at the start of it!

Yep marchbank is a big out for them. Plowman undersized and weitering likes to be loose. Hogan and Gawn could grab a few marks inside 50

Casey report is on the MFC site. Reading between the lines (and reading the actual lines with words): Kent seems a lock to come in Maynard a chance Trenners a chance JKH/Kennedy less likely than we thought

kicked just shy of 100 goals between 2015 and 2016. just turned 23 and played 80-odd games so hasnt hit his peak yet. cant completely understand his head would not be in it going through a break up with 2 young kids. Footy would be the last thing on your mind. would be a great get, can score goals out of nothing
