I also got a nice text from a Dogs mate who said something like 'they are playing great footy now mate, enjoy it!'. respect the dogs a lot. no current team could've stopped that momentum. 

loved it. a cherry on top this morning.. investing in a 10 jumper as soon as i can to celebrate the mischief & down and dirty young fella

no real howlers, but if anything i think that the dogs got a better run than us! lots of throws from them too.. particularly in 2nd & 3rd qtrs..

I wish Tomlinson and Hunt were in this photo too.

3 superstars in their prime. 3 young guns who just got better as the year went on. 1 veteran who timed his run back in to the side right at the right moment.

May clearly wasn't 100%, Lever didn't have a great game and Petty was kept away from it too. Credit the Dogs for really working around our talls for 2.5 quarters.

But Hibberd and Rivers blanketed their men. Bowey and Salem were filling the gaps to take away the Dogs dangerous runners. And once the mids got back on top this backline found their stride and didn't look like coughing up a score.

don't forget Nev!

happy to just keep the 21 dees team together for the next 57 years.. 

if true, stoked we're not gonna lose any of our boys! its all good in the hood. fingers x for a few more draft smokies!

First Goal: Kozzie

Most Goals: Brown

Norm Smith: Oliver

Winning Margin: 32

First to the ball! Composure! Spread! Do it for Barassi! do it for JIm!! Do it for Flower!!! Do it for Neale!!!! Do it for Jonesy!!!!!

DO IT FOR MELBOURNE!!!!!!

dream scenario: flag, brayshaw announced 4 year deal, cerra signs on for 3 (don't ask me how).

Jon Ralph spreading chook food for poor Blues fans... 

If there's no decision for the next 2 weeks, then we're likely on.

Oh, and why would you join a shambles club without a coach?

agree. he keeps writing articles about Cerra with no insights whatsoever. we all know that MFC don't *currently* have anything or worth pick-wise, but that doesn't mean that we can't get it. [censored].

just thinking after the successful end to the season that bowey has had, how his mate would be feeling..

also, watching through a few of the highlights packages in this thread, i wonder where laurie will settle once he gets a chance in our team? his agility and foot skills are obvious, but height is an issue. not sure we could play spargo, kozzie, bowey and laurie in the same team? laurie seems to be similar to spargo?.. but hey, we have always cried out for more footskills and now that is no longer a problem. good issue to have! 

my girlfriend is a doggies fan (as her mum is from the western suburbs), but she's more dees these days seeing as though i watch and listen to as much dees stuff as i can. if i had a second team, it'd be the dogs. mind you, after being flogged by them a few times, quite content in flogging them in the GF if we get a chance. due to their lack of success, i feel as though their fanbase has more in common with us than most realise. 

the dream would be if barassi AND daniher both come out after the final siren (after being smuggled over the border) and the crowd loses its [censored]. that'd be too much.

Two weeks to kill time so why not open this up for discussion?

Here's my list of all time favourite MFC goals. 

1. Max Gawn vs Geelong Rd 23, 2021

2. Mitch Hannan vs Geelong EF 2018

3. Max Gawn (from 55m) vs Geelong PF 2021

4. Jeff White vs Bulldogs 2005

5. Adem Yze vs Adelaide SF 2002

6. David Schwarz vs Carlton QF 1994

7. Austin Wonaemirri vs Fremantle 2008

8. Cam Bruce vs Carlton QF 2000

9. David Neitz vs St.Kilda EF 2006

10. Russel Robertson vs Essendon 2005

 

First year watching Melbourne: 1994

A lot of these are ranked on context hence why goals like Farmer's in 1998 missed the cut. 

i reckon you could add another couple from the game on friday night.. also like to see some jurrah and garlett goals in there. trac has had a few pearlers too! great list though :-)

What an extraordinarily poor attempt to cover the question of who Melbourne “will target with its first pick”? Three out of four paragraphs wasted on an NGA prospect who the authors don’t expect to be available at our first pick anyway and a vague guess that we might shop for another key forward if any are left in the 30s or 40s. A lot of thought went into this. Not.

I wonder if this will change should a certain event occur in a few weeks? Just constantly ignored or not bothered with aren't we.. Sheesh!

if its true that the cats had a virus rip through their team during a pandemic, WTF were they doing playing?! i hope that MFC are given special consideration if any of our players get sick as a result of GFC playing infected players.. whether its COVID or the flu, is irrelevant.. players shouldn't play with anything viral anymore..

Should be favourite for next years rising star. Unbelievable composure under pressure for a skinny kid

and in the game the other night against the cats, he goes when its his turn to go.. he isn't soft. love him. 

the only thing that's worked for me is going for a 2 hr surf this arvo.. the sound of waves and no one else cleared my head well. now i'm about to crack a beer and have some fish n chips. might pop on a bit of the fall on the way to the chip shop. go dees!

Weid, Bedford and a future first round pick for Cerra 

who says no?

Whsipers are Bedford is headed to freo and they have a strong interest in Weid.

says who? bedford has played what, one or two games for us? no trade value.. so the trade would basically be weid (worth maybe pick 20 at most?) and pick 14-18 for cerra.. 

i think i'd rather hold on to weid and our first rounder. tried to look at cerra's highlights and was a bit meh. happy if he comes real cheap, but not worth losing chips at the table for him. more than happy with who we have atm. would on the other hand, lose chips at the table for ben king. 

throwing and just stone cold dropping the ball is getting OUTTA CONTROL.. seems worse than ever the last few rounds?

i reckon the rising star should just be for players drafted in the previous year.. if they get injured/don't play enough games, so be it. its kinda weird that jackson will win it when he was drafted in '19..

he'll end up in the guts one day.. whether its with us or against us. 

he cant kick for shiat

A relocated team has been reported to the best option favoured by the AFL. The only logical suspects are North and Saints. It’s a backward move to dilute the talent pool with another new club but would be a positive move to dilute the excess of Victorian suburban clubs for a more inclusive and balanced national competition. It is interesting to note that previous relocated clubs like Sydney and  Brisbane still have strong support in their former homes. A relocated club also will have solid support in their new home as there are no other codes to compete against and Tasmania is a football grass roots state. Now it’s time for the AFL to twist arms and dangle dollars in the air.

well there was a time when you can walk from st kilda over to tassie, so maybe there's our answer
