The Bailey Humphrey Thread
Perhaps we should also offer honey as a sweetener in the deal to lure Humphey over the the Dees. Apparently it's his favourite fare...https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HZ2ipptJu0s?feature=share ...I'll show myself out...

Welcome to Demonland: Brody Mihocek
Miihocek can lead and mark, take pack marks, kick accurately from set shots, is nimble and kicks field goals. Was the Filth's leading goal-kicker for multiple years. He is exactly what our forward line needs. Can't wait to see him running riot in red and blue and watching his influence on JVR next year. Welcome Brodie Mihocek.

Choco Williams axed
Thank you Mark "Chocco" Williams for helping Melbourne win the flag in 2021. I was rapt at the announcement of your appointment to the MFC. It felt like we were going to make it when you came to our club - and we did! Love your work. I wish you all the best for the future.

POSTGAME: Rd 21 vs West Coast
An 83 point win - albeit against an inexperienced WCE - but still our biggest win for ages and a great response to the embarrassment of the 4th quarter fade out against the Saints last week. Thank you MFC players for responding! Jai Culley - great debut. Times his run at the ball and took a number of great grabs and kicked at least a couple of great goals. Has a look and has good kicking skills and finds a team mate. IMO the best debut by a MFC player that I've seen. Fritsch kicked 4, Petty kicked 3, Langford kicked 3. Team kicked more goals than points for a refreshing change. Good 4 quarter effort this week. Oh yeah, I almost forgot - PUSH IN THE BACK is BACK! Finally. (Hopefully!) Today, during marking contests, the umpires protected the player who got in front. Each time the player behind pushed the player in front of him in these contests, the umpires consistently paid a free kick for push in the back. Irrespective of team. So refreshing. And so good. It's the way Aussie Rules should be played. Man in front needs to be protected. Thank you umpires! Need the same next week against the Dogs. Go Dees!

VALE BRIAN DIXON
Rest in Peace Brian Dixon. A Demon great. Condolences to his family.

Training Ground?
Now there's an idea - replace the ridiculously named "Round Zero" with the MFC torturous home base plan inspired "Feasibility Round".

Goalkicking
Or Davd Neitz. PLEASE get somebody into Melbourne that will teach the fundamental skill of SET SHOT GOAL KICKING. Everybody knows Melbourne suck at this. The current coaches know it. They've tried. The players know it. They've tried. All have failed. We have dominated so many games since winning the flag in 21. So many games we've smashed the opposition with inside 50 counts and shots at goal. Only to lose through inaccurate kicking. A major component of this is set shot goal kicking. Melbourne's has been atrocious over the last 4 years. This year I hear it is the worst in the AFL. Get Lloyd. Get Neitz. Or Get F@#*ed....

GAMEDAY: Rd 14 vs Port Adelaide
I'm hoping that we are so F*c$ed off about the loss that we should have won last week that the anger is channelled with laser accuracy and we give absolutely no mercy. I expect it will be an absolute bloodbath.

Umpiring standard

GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
Happy birthday SWYL! I’m at the ground so I’ll cheer extra boisterously in your honour. I’ll lose my voice (again!) to help find a win for us any day - especially today against the filth on your birthday! GO DEES!

In this video Matthew Lloyd (who kicked 926 goals in his career as an AFL footballer) is directly asked whether he would coach set-shot goal-kicking at Melbourne. He actually seems quite frustrated with Melbourne's inability to kick accurately from set shots in front of goal. He responds to the questions of whether he would coach Melbourne at set-shot goal kicking accuracy, by recalling the year he coached Joe Daniher when he was at the Bombers, to help him with set-shot accuracy, he remembers that players and staff would ignore him when he walked into the club due to things that he had said. Sounds like he was badly burnt by his old club whilst trying to help them...He doesn't go any further with his response. Watch the video... Lloyd's response implies that if Melbourne were to welcome him into the club and treat him with dignity, not ignore him like players and staff from his old club Essendon did when he was coaching Joe Daniher, and instead embrace him for his knowledge and guidance on set-shot gol kicking (which he is an expert!), the Dees might just have a coach on their team that WILL help with goal kicking accuracy. Goody's links with the Bombers might just get this over the line. I think that Matthew Lloyd (926 AFL goals) would be an excellent coach for set-shot goal kicking at Melbourne and strongly advocate for this to happen. ...or get David Neitz back as goal kicking coach for the Dees. Neitz kicked 631 AFL goals - the most by a Melbourne player - EVER - I'd take him as goal kicking coach for Melbourne in a heart beat. Is Neita available? Watch the video and let me know what you think...
