Great read over on Zero Hanger for anyone interested 🙂| 10 years on: From Melbourne’s darkest days to dynasty building

Vague recollection, but didn't the Filth win last years Anzac Day game, largely off the back of Grundy? I can only see stats (which I know don't tell the full story), but it looks like he jad a good game and Draper was his opponent.

This. On the subject, check out his reaction in the background when JVR got his holding the ball free prior to his third goal. Great stuff.

From around the 0:57 mark there is some great behind the goals vision, showing how far Chandler ran to get on the end of the chain for his 3rd quarter goal. That play and his subsequent goal swung all the momentum back in our favour after Sydney got within a kick.

I like this one. This is exactly why we discovered how good Petty was, after Tomlinsons ACL

No Laurie ?

I'm sure it's been posted a 100 times before, but it never gets old! (Since this video was made they've gone on to lose three further prelims in 2012, 2019 and 2022 + the 2018 Grand Final 🤣)

Maybe he's just got excellent positioning and can get to open spaces where the defenders aint? 🤔 😉

Has there been any sort of statement yet from Jackson? Thanks MFC for giving me the opportunity, thanks to the members/fans... etc etc etc? Disclaimer... I haven't read the whole thread & am currently overseas so don't get all the news, so apologies if already discussed.

I've heard someone say the filth are only paying a portion of his salary for the FIRST year only, so trying to determine if any truth to that or if wires have been crossed Eg $350 "a" year vs $350 "for a" year. Obviously a big difference!

Anyone got some concrete info on how much of his contract the filth are paying?

If Bedford can bring what he does at Casey to AFL level (definitely think he can) then he'd replace one of Melksham/ANB/Spargo. Same for Chandler who could also come in for one of those three. Would be significant upgrades imo.

Are these the same fickle members and supporters who didn't even bother turning up to the game last night? The ones who in not being there made it feel like a Brisbane home game and amongst other things allowed Harrison [censored] petty of all people to get booed and Zorko applauded? Those ones? Don't think the club or players would give two [censored] about them mate. I sure don't. They can all hand in their memberships and [censored] right off as far as I'm concerned.

The thing grinding my gears tonight is the crowd, and not the ones that are there, but the ones that aren't. Where the [censored] are you all? Absolute disgrace that we are getting out shouted in our home game at our home ground.

Who is a better chance of beating Sydney in Sydney? Assuming we can get past Brisbane, then win the Prelim, I'd rather not have a GF against the Swans. We can deal with our new bogey team later, when it matters less.

I sat next to the grumpiest old man in the history of grumpy old men. Monotonous, not stop whining and complaining the entire match about evvvvvverything 😣 Didn't so much as clap or show one shred of interest when we got our little run on at the start of the third, but was all to ready to get back on the whinge train when we lost the next centre bounce. Bugger you, grumpy old man. Made my frustrating night even more annoying.

Yes I figured 😉 Pretty long odds that seat belonged to someone here who happened to be reading this thread! All the same, hopefully it gets fixed before game time

I've sent text message to the anti social behaviour phone number. Only obvious contact number shown anywhere around ground. Hoepfully someone there could pass on to maintenance people to swap out the seat. They got 3 hours 🤷‍♂️

Poor bugger in Q50, row B seat 2 has an uncomfortable night ahead ☹️

General public tickets almost a sell out. Category 1 - N11, N31, N33 Category 7 - very back of Q1 to Q6

Another good achievement is that we finished 2nd despite playing literally half of our season against top 8 sides. Meanwhile Richmond .... 🙄

Can someone who is better at maths than me work out how many points Sydney's pre game percentage lead over us equated to? 10 points? 20 points?

Haha, love it! This was definitely the general sentiment at the ground too. Lots of noise until Melksham kicked his goal, then it was panic, then it was absolute crickets after Kozzy got the winner.
