    Clearly the club needs total disqualification, meaning that MFC, should they win on Sunday, would finish fourth ??

    But seriously looking forward to McChinny spin on this.  

    Sam Murray tested positive after Collingwood v Richmond.

    For this game and all games that he played in after that Collingwood should be stripped of those points, that is 4 wins so they should be stripped of 16 points taking them back to 40 points dropping them to 12th.

    Seriously the AFL needs to put this action in place on the basis that this is ASADA testing, before we go down the Essendon path.

  2. From all reports as good a footballer as he was, he was also a top bloke.

    in The words of Bernie Quinlan

    Retired champion goalkicker Bernie Quinlan met Flower on a 1978 playing tour of Ireland and maintained a very close friendship with him thereafter, which even extended to Flower accompanying him to Brownlow Medal counts late in his career as his nominal "date".

    "It enhanced my life unbelievably," Quinlan said of their friendship.

    "I don't think he had a bad bone in his body, Tulip. And if he didn't like someone there was a very good reason – they must have been a terrible person if Tulip didn't like them.

     

    "He was my hero, not because of his football but because of the way he was as a person. He was a magnificent human being. He just embraced everybody, he had time for everybody."

    Worrying lack of respect for the opposition here today.  Melbourne supporters, more than anyone else in world sport, should know that no win is ever certain.

    The following wooden spooners have beaten us in my time following the club:

    We drew with Sydney in ‘92 and lost to them in 93 and 94, lost to Western Bulldogs 03, Carlton twice in 06, Richmond in 07, West Coast in 2010, GWS in 2013, StKilda in 2014, Carlton in 2015, and the Essendon reserves in 2016.

    We missed the finals with final round losses to Brisbane in 95 and Collingwood in 2017.

    StKilda ran all over us this year, in a match where the final score did not reflect the extent of their dominance.

    Talk of ‘record’ scores and margins is very premature.  We should respect every contest and bring 100% ever time we play.

    Hit the nail firmly on the head
