MAAAAXXXXXYYYYY!

Going 35% efficiency by foot this quarter to norths 65%

STOP WATCHING YOUR MOZZING US!

Umpire extremely reluctant to pay that to Lewis despite it being identical to the one he paid the other way with glee 20 seconds earlier

Brayshaw need to use his eyes to see if where he intends on hand balling it, we actually have a teammate

That’s frustrating as [censored], had the ball locked in our forward half for 6mins then that [censored]

Nice mark Maxy. If he can buddy up with Preuss in the off season and get him fit and get him to drop 8kg then Preuss could become a much more mobile and effective in 2020

And then kick it to his advantage occasionally

I propose you never watch a game live again. All those in favor say aye...... aye

Agree with this, the tactic is that one guards the front and one spoils over the top.

Your insulting my 6yo daughter there, she would smash him in any contest

CAN ONE OF OUR FORWARDS ACTUALLY GO UP FOR A MARK!!!!

Why not stick Preuss 15 out directly in front and just bomb it to him with this wind?

Why do we centre it when we have 1 player on 5, and kick to the wing when we have 5 players to 1 in the centre?

Streaming through the middle, wind at the back all set for the kick deep inside 50.... stop then kick it into the opposition player! So Melbourne 2019! ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️

Think you will find even the very best and most successful coaches in most sports still have a relationship with somebody they consider to be a mentor

Just that there is a “disconnect” with Mahoney from staff and players and that he is in the thick of the angst, so one wonders if him missing out on the CEO role has had an influence here.

Just speaking with a friend today who knows a few staff inside the club, they mentioned that both players and staff are quite unhappy with Mahoney which has been growing worse over the season. I wonder if some announcement about Mahoney may form part of the “major announcement” alleged to be occurring on Sunday? Also found out the doctors at Melbourne are not part of the AFL cohort unlike other clubs. Not sure why that means but perhaps others do?

I like your thinking here Nev. Have had discussions with others about the importance of having leaders in each third of the ground which is similar the Hawks model in their prime. Totally agree on Gawn as captain and after hearing Melkshams interview after the swans game I could see him being a VC. The raw emotion in his voice was clear that he was crushed by the result (I never quite get that feeling from Jones or Viney), and just something about the way he spoke said to me that he could have something that we currently lack. If anyone hasn’t seen it, watch it here: https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2019-08-16/its-bloody-hard-melksham

You’d imagine we’d loose the 8k we gained this year plus a few extras so I think your 10k would be pretty close

So all in all there are 7 memberships in my family: - Grandma has an armchair membership as she’s 101 and watches from her armchair. Was a Fitzroy/Brisbane member but when Roos came to Melbourne she switched because she love him. Will re-sign next year - Dads sister is also and armchair as is in her 70s and still works full time by financial necessity. Will re-sign - Dad passed away in January at 66 years of age ?. 9 game member. Will not re-sign - My 3 kids all kids members of various types. Will re-sign so they get their kids stuff and because my wife’s side all follow dogs so don’t want the kids to drift over to the dark side - I have a 9 game membership and will downgrade to 3 game as I work a lot on weekends, plus have kids sport and can’t be arsed with the effort when we play like s h I t e. Also want to be able to tell the person in the membership department how disappointed I am with the effort from the team this year because I know they do pass on the feeling from the fans.

Except Preuss took Alir Alir our of the game completely last time and managed to kick a couple of goals too, so credit where it is due

The most worrying thing for me is not that we keep losing, but that we don’t look even remotely like we are building anything for next year.

Why are we so stationary inside 50

Oliver should give himself some lip for that kick
