  1. That's the worse thing about close games at the tail end of the season, watching the percentage decrease....!
  2. Aw, you should have said hi! Thanks for coming to support us, and most importantly the MFC Past Players and Officials Association who we were raising money for :)
  3. Twitter is absolutely awash with how Melbourne cheated and the umpires are biased towards us. Obviously they missed the "touched" goal that wasn't touched, or the deliberate out of bounds paid against Melbourne that was done by the Crows.
  4. Can we revisit the day Don Pyke said nothing to the Crows in Alice Springs? Coz that was funny. https://www.afl.com.au/news/141037/pykes-silent-treatment-was-no-surprise
  5. Good on Goodwin slamming the trade rumours, and confirming Grundy is staying. Why the club couldn't do it yesterday I don't know, but they have now, and hopefully that's the end of the matter
  6. I don't need much in the area of imagination to figure out what you're intending to say there!!! And I would agree with you!
  7. The discourse from On the Couch the other night was outright despicable. After that cesspool of BS, I take what was said by Channel 7 with a grain of salt. Mind you, your line of "Substantially reduces the benefit and viability of a trade" - why do you want to trade him? All that shows me is that you're buying the media BS.
  8. Pretty sure Richo said it end of last year when Grundy was traded
  9. Okay, I'm going to go full rant mode here. I'm sick to death of the media discourse around Brodie Grundy at the moment, and the so called sports journos' tendency to stick the knife in, having him being traded, it hasn't worked, etc etc. It was always Melbourne's plan to have Brodie as a ruck/forward combination, and it was always the club's intention to have him play some VFL games to strengthen his forward craft. The only thing that delayed that from happening sooner was Gawn getting injured and waiting for him to get back to full strength. This has now happened, hence Grundy was named for the 2s. To say the Gawn/Grundy combination isn't working and it's all Grundy's fault is, pardon my French, complete [censored]. As a ruck combination, they outrucked Cox/Cameron combination, they outrucked the Jackson/Darcy combination in Fremantle. In fact they have consistently outrucked the opposition throughout the season. If there was ANY reason for lack of efficiency, it could be put more down to the fact Gawn's knee injury at the start of the season prevented him from being his best. Not Grundy. In fact for the weeks Gawn was out injured, Grundy was invaluable, he proved his worth in my books. Grundy isn't going anywhere. Media hacks, lay off. We know how much these so called "professionals" hate Melbourne. They've moved on from Oliver onto a new target. And it's not fair on Grundy. Rant over.
  10. They seem to have a bye every third week.....
  11. They need to build giant shower heads over Casey Fields so they know how to play in torrential rain. The last two games where they've played in such conditions, ie last night and against Port Adelaide, have been horrendous.
  12. I'm not feeling particularly happy today.
  13. Shifty mate looking after shifty mate.
  14. Interesting character. According to his Wikipedia page: - He was stood down as a police officer after failing an integrity investigation - He had a sketchy career in politics, including squibbing out of a debate on industrial affairs and got Hockey to debate on his behalf - He was forced to withdraw from contesting in the 2010 federal election after he was charged with impersonating a police office - The incident of impersonating a police officer came from when he threatened a witness in an assault case against his son - the phone call was made from Parliament House when he was a sitting MP
  15. That happened this year.... then the That's Good for Footy people whined about low ticket sales between the two matches for the Melbourne show.
  16. It was a week after Easter this year, also during the school holidays. As a teacher it worked out well for me.
  17. A friend of mine who is now on the committee of Coterie was in the cheer squad in the 60s and 70s, he said he has one of those large banners at his house, and he said it went half way around the old southern stand. I'd love to see it!
  18. Last year I had a similar comment from a Collingwood supporter. My response was "Well, I would have come earlier today, but I had teeth to brush. See how stereotypes work?"
  19. Final or grand final? Last final we played against them was probably the 1989 elimination final, where we won. Last GF would be 1964.
  20. Does that explain Noble's brainfade of forgetting to bounce the ball?
  21. And the thing is, so many Melbourne supporters, including my late father, was massively haunted by the bloodbath of 1958.
