Feel like that's been a few weeks in the making. Our pressure and sharpness has waned since the Richmond game. Hoping the team regroups and brings it next week or we'll undo a lot of the good work done to date.
Salem out was a huge loss. Jetta in didn't really work. Too many players quiet. Oh for a Viney return!!! Must say I wouldn't mind seeing BBB in the fwd line next week for some tall presence. Did melksham return after foot issue with about 7 mins to go?
On a positive note we can and often do play a lot better than tonight. Adelaide rode the crowd and biased umpiring with fearlessness.

How was that in the back against TMac?
Absurd. He was tackling from the side for f's sake!

The vision was appalling. Lynch is an absolute dog. They also had footage that other incident when he casually whacked a player that was prostrate on the ground in the back of the head, without even blinking.
Deliberate acts felling a defender during a centre bounce puts the forwards in a huge advantage if they win a centre clearance. Hate to be clichéd, but it is far outside the spirit of the game.

We covered some interesting ground, including our long-awaited new home base, the soft cap's impact, Simon Goodwin's contract, the future of the AFL-W competition, and Glen Bartlett's departure. Hope you enjoy it!
Great interview Kiran and Nita.
For those who haven't heard it yet, I was moved by a story Kate Roffey related where Laurie (I think) had copped an injury, and given that she recalled Trac had a knee reco and had thus related through his first year, she suggested that he seek him out for a chat - he responded that Trac had already dropped around to visit him. That just speaks volumes on where we are as a club - culture, maturity, the love they have for each other - and Trac's personal qualities. Brilliant stuff.

At centre bounces we just love running to where the ball isn’t.
We look like we're running in treacle around the centre bounces

It takes an exceptionally bad call to ruin a game but Ed is doing his utmost to achieve it.
It would be better for all parties if he departed the game silently and completely.

Top of the ladder joy: as long as you keep winning at least one team falls further behind you in every other game!
Example: If Port beat the Dogs, we go two games clear on top of the ladder. But if the Dogs beat Port we go THREE games clear for securing a top-2 spot.
When you're winning, everything is a win.
I love that all the club and players have to think about is winning and the rest will take care of itself.
Good point re. the Dogs over Port scenario. It's such an unfamiliar feeling as a (1980s onward) Melbourne supporter, this whole top-of-the-ladder caper!

Geez a port win and Dees win will give us a 2 game buffer at the top of the ladder. Fingers crossed we bring the pressure on Sunday.

It's pretty amazing how many Melbourne podcasts there are. There's a couple of other general AFL podcasts I listen to as well, Lace Out which is hosted by a Melbourne supporter (and his co-host a Port supporter) and Lystics AFL Podcast hosted by a Melbourne supporter and an ex-Collingwood now Freo supporter.
The Bulldogs don't have any podcast as far as I can tell although apparently the comedian who used to do their banners is working on one - he has a podcast with Lehmo called They Came To Play.
Another one I listen to is Junktime which is a comedy footy podcast which comes with an *extreme language warning*. Funny guys though they've done writing for a couple of different AFL comedy shows, I think one of them currently works on The Front Bar.
Another great podcast is the Kick to Kick podcast which is an AFL history podcast hosted by an Essendon supporter and up to three Melbourne supporters (they don't always appear on each episode but usually at least 2 of the 3). They go through each AFL season an episode at a time and are currently up to 1959 so a good time to jump in
Thanks, I'll have to check some of those out! The Lystics podcast I have listened to - really insightful deep dives on the state of each club's list and draft prospects, etc.

"Attention to Deetail" is a fairly recent entry to the MFC-related podcast landscape that I also listen to (in addition to Demonland, The Deebrief, The Dees Podcast & Deeluded).

This list doesn’t include 1956 when we won the first 13 games of the season and won the flag.
...because the list only shows streaks by teams that did not go on to win the flag that year.

COVID & AFL 2021
in Melbourne Demons
MFCSS: our best start to a season since The Beatles were a novelty and now the fixture is teetering on the brink.
