I always put in the ESS vs Melb game at Windy Hill in 1990 when we were down by over 5 goals in the last quarter. Shirtfronts, great marking and 4 last quarter goals from Darren Bennett all from outside 50m. Not a final but a great win!!

Darren Bennett - 1990 87 goals for the year including 5 great goals to best Essendon from 5 goals down at Windy Hill.

Agree. Hard decisions have been made so nowhere to hide if we don't make finals.

I understand why we sell 2 home games in the NT but at what point do 4 premiership points become more important? Every win is critical to finishing as high as possible to maximise the chances of playing in the Grand Final.

So which teams are we going to finish above to make the Top 4?

Have the assistant coaches for 2018 been finalised? A goal kicking coach should be a priority.

Agree Red and Blue. Big oversight! Big fan of Tingay, Sean Wight and Jeff White.

Paid way "over" for Lever. Gave Watts up too cheaply (plus we are still paying part of his salary in 2018). Jack's performance over his 9 years had been well documented but players of his height, ability, kicking and finishing skills don't grow on trees. At what point do you look at the host of support coaches at MFC and ask what share of responsibility do they take for not getting the best out of him?? There is no hiding now. The club has made their choices and will have to be judged on those in 12 months time.

Geelong is the last remaining Home Ground advantage in Victoria. It is the same teams that get scheduled to play there. The bigger clubs get to play Geelong at the MCG which has become a neutral ground. Poor fixturing in a compromised competition.

No game for MFC at Geelong in 2018. When did Collingwood, Hawthorn, Essendon and Carlton last play a game at Geelong??

Poor form by Goodwin and Mahoney considering the wasted years of non development by MFC of draft picks and younger players.

Hibberd, Oliver and Jetta and then daylight for the rest.

After the pointed comments this week from the MFC if I was Jack I would clean my locker out.
