GAMEDAY: Rd 05 vs Essendon
If time travel was possible, I wouldnāt want to go back to 2012 or 2013ā¦. But apparently I have.

NON-MFC: Round 04
What is even more satisfying is that apparently Carlton traded their first round pick next year to, of all teams, Hawthorn!

NON-MFC: Round 03
If a player just watches the ball go ob, how is that not insufficient intent on his part?

NON-MFC: Semi Finals
As a Redlegs supporter for 60 years, seeing the wharfies ripped by the umps is sweet sweet music (please forgive the mixed metaphor)

NON-MFC: Finals Week 01
The schadenfreude is strong in this one.

NON-MFC: Rd 20 2023
With the Crows seemingly going to win, hereās one for the statistions. If, god fobid, we get beaten tomorrow, when is the last time the top four teams have been beaten in the one round? Come on Dees, dont make it happen!,

NON-MFC: Rd 04 2023
As a Norwood/Melbourne supporter my whole life, I simpathise with Swans supporters because that is a typical Port Adelaide win . Play [censored] football all night but somehow conjure a win from a pile of rubbish.

2022 Brownlow Medal
Absolute joke of an award. Sydney win by 28 points against I cant remember but other mob get all three votes! Just one of many joke votes. At least those who know football know who was the standout this year.

FINALS 2022: Week 03
More like a final than the open training run last night.

NON-MFC: Round 15, 2022
Didnāt think I could hate them any more than I do, that is until I saw that Ian Botham is a supporter. Mate of Chins apparently.

The very, very contentious 50 for Dissent Rule
Iāve always thought that 50 metres is too punative, in many cases where the offence is fairly trivial, as well as being an āāinterpretation ā by the umpire. Now they are interpreting emotions as well. Brings to mind the story about the player in the nineties who asked the ump if he could be reported for what he was thinking. Of course not said the ump. Well, i think youāre a #$%& !

Round 1 predictions - head to heads
Holy cow! Donāt have a clue who my whipping boy is going to be this year given that team. If i was an opposition supporter I would poo myself.

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
Well i made it until tonight, then watched the first 10 minutes of AFL360 - completely disolved - wife was worried, never seen me cry before - emotional meltdown

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
Well, after 24 hours and lots of alcohol my thoughts; my best mate and i have watched footy here and in Adelaide for 50 years at least. We both thought we would be blubbering messes if we even witnessed a Dees premiership but at the end of the game last night we sat there stunned. We had witnessed, with out a doubt, the most insane 45 minutes of football either of us had ever seen. I still have to watch the replay a few more times for it to sink in.

GAMEDAY: Grand Final vs Western Bulldogs
And just in case we needed another omen, US Ryder Cup team (favorites) fixed up Europeans on the first day. What were they wearing? RED AND BLUE STRIPES! Dees by 30

Brownlow Medal 2021
Oliver 28 possesions 15 contested 7 tackles,Seedsman 36, Keys 29. Obviously too lazy to assess on the park, just looked at the stats after the game

PF: Port Adelaide vs Bulldogs
Come on Port, do the right thing by us and GO THE BIFF!

Your first MFC Game/Best MFC Game/Worst MFC Game
First game - round 1 1983 v Collingwood. Peter Moore and Kelvin Templeton first game for Dees. Lost by 4 points, first time i had seen grown men cry at the football - Melbourne supporter near me had his hands over his eyes at the siren with tears pouring out between his fingers. Best game - elimination final v Geelong 2018 - never heard a roar like it. Worst game - 2013 late August v Freo. It was my 60th birthday and my wife had booked a box for me and 12 friends. Food and drinks supplied. Got thrashed in front of a dismal crowd on a cold overcast Melbourne arvo - as bad as it gets.

FINALS: Week 02 2021 (NON MFC)
Wow, some really viscious stuff going on at Big Footy on the Brisbane page. As well as scorching the umps, lot of people jumping off the game (supposedly), fans from other clubs piling on, suggestions that Toby should habe fixed Matt Stevic up properly last week etc etc. Funniest one though was the poster who couldnāt believe they lost to a team with Scache in it. Priceless.
-
NON MFC: Rd 20 2021
Gee the game has passed Marc Murphy. Didnāt watch the whole game but seemed like he got caught every time he got the ball. Limping to 300.

POSTGAME: Rd 18 vs Hawthorn
My very perceptive wife commented,after I whinged about our performance against bottom 4 sides āat least you donāt have to play bottom 4 sides in the finalsā - clever girl.
