Yes that's a really good point - it was more achievable the way the game was played a few years back.

Equally, it is depressing to see how often we've blown past the target we once had (Steven May revealed in a post-match interview back in 2021 or 22) for opposition score of 60 or less (15 pts per qtr). Achieved only twice this year (against Hawks and Tigers).

And just like that, I suddenly feel like I need to throw up. I was there that day.

Just seen a post from the club highlighting Andy Moniz-Wakefield's numbers on the weekend for casey. These posts often precede a debut in the seniors. It'd be interesting to see what he can do in the ones - Brisbane up there is a bit of a baptism by fire, but if the practice of debuting players as sub is the way of things that could be an option. MFC Facebook post re. AMW

Or will we get this Brisbane?

That is a 40% over-estimation of the distance. 40%! There are literally two arcs drawn on the turf marking the required distance that the umpires could look to for reference. It is inexcusable. Good on Brad Johnson for railing on this.

6. Kynan Brown - matchwinning tackle 5. Rivers 4. Viney 3. Gawn 2. Tholstrup 1. May

Can we see our debutant at all?

Roooooooooooooo!!!

Good to see Kolt giving more than he was getting in that half-time melee. 🤣

Good to hear the commentators calling out the ridiculous over-estimation of 50 metres.

Liking Tholstrup getting more of the ball. His belief seems to be rising.

[censored] you Footy Dept debuting Kynan Brown as sub. The folder of ****ful selection decisions in the past few years is starting to burst at the seams.

He's reached the "acceptance" phase of his grief journey.

What TF was that Catman [censored] doing in the stands just now?

Thanks for that - gave me a literal laugh out loud in the office!

A couple of years ago we took the field against Sydney, and May moved to shake hands with Buddy Franklin, who ignored him and walked straight by. It [censored] me off at the time but in reflection it was a solid F-you psychological move. I would have felt much better had this been our modus operandi regarding Thug Maynard against the Pies.

Whoever his manager made up.

Can someone get Schwarz to give him a courtesy call on the danger in returning from an ACL prematurely?

Gawd this is a cholera-level bed-[censored] by Adelaide right now.

Oh good, Gerald feels there's enough of a pile on that it's safe for him to jump in too. It is Melbourne after all, not a big club, so he won't get blowback from AFL HQ. Does he really want to bring out the "duty of care" card when this was absent from several incidents of which we've been on the receiving end in recent years? Kicking in danger breaking players hands, low pushes in back tearing players hamstrings, feigning smothers to end a player's career? It's not like in this case a player just waved a doctor away after an obvious head clash, or a club ignored footage of a head clash and didn't follow up with a concussion test, or one of many other instances we've seen of a club's failure to exercise duty of care. We have doctors assessing likely broken ribs and acting accordingly as per the symptoms, including ultimately subbing Trac and sending him to hospital well before the game was over.

I'd rather we win the wooden spoon than give them their first finals win in decades.

[censored] me that is putrid.

We'll have a good firdt round draft pick then.

We have completely fallen to pieces.
