It might sound strange but the traveling emergencies are not required once the game starts so they can fly back on Friday night and be rested for the game the next day.

Sam Docherty said before the game that he expected the team to invigorated by the bye. One of the greatest blooper comments of all time.

Robert Flower - Demon Legend
I opened my law office in Murrumbeena Road, Murrumbeena in April 1974 and the first visitor I had on my first day was Jim Flower who was randomly collecting money from local businesses for the local football club. I gave a donation mainly because of the fact that he was Robbieâs brother but it meant that on day one, my practice was making a net loss of $5.00 (it was worth more than that in those days). The next day somebody came in who was a supporter of the club and asked me to act for him on his house purchase. It was my first new file. Thatâs how things worked in those days. The Flowers were a fantastic family - great people.

Round 12 Non-MFC
The problem with overturning a field umpireâs call of âtouched, play onâ is that upsets the concept of consistency in umpiring. Itâs not possible to overturn or challenge a call of touched in 99.9% of situations in a game so in the very rare situation that occurred yesterday, the call of the umpire on the spot should not have been questioned.

The only exciting thing Iâve seen since tuning in to the game is the calm, blue waters of Hobsonâs Bay in the background.

Round 12 Non-MFC
Agree with what Nasher and you about the content of what was quoted but Iâm more concerned about the attitude which is far more fair and realistic than the run of the mill supporters who are ready to jump out of buildings as soon as something goes wrong.

The No T$ No B$ Thread
Correct. Unless one is a certified member of MENSA, everything on this thread is likely to be way over oneâs comprehensive capabilities. Iâm glad you understand the sub text of the conversation weâre having here. Itâs vital for the national interest as well as the MFC that people understand this.

Casey Demons v Collingwood VFL - Round 10
Petty just signed an extension on his contract so thatâs definitely not in his thinking at the moment. In addition, itâs now recognised that the way to go with a playerâs development is that itâs not always the right thing to rush him into the senior team immediately but to invest some time in getting him ready. Weâre fortunate at Melbourne that we can do this whereas in the past we pushed players into the ones to the overall detriment of their careers. Look at the examples of Toumpas and others at Melbourne and even Weitering at Carlton. If we look after our players well enough and create the right environment for them, it reduces the likelihood of them wanting to leave further down the track.

Round 12 Non-MFC
They still have some thoughtful posters who wonât allow themselves to be overwhelmed by the desperation of the moment. Like this post from Weâre on Track âI think we're on track. Not the same track that the club spruiked in regards to 'top 4 by 2018' etc. etc., but on track in terms of improving naturally. People have made two mistakes: 1) Believing the club's blueprint for success 2) Comparing our development to Melbourne's Melbourne started building back in about 2010. They have added steadily since, and have only come good now. We didn't really get going with our rebuild until 2013. To be any good, you need good old guys, really good middle age guys, and some good kids. Putting it simply. In my opinion, we can't expect to be any good, until the Stevens, Ross', Bruces, Carlisles, Hickeys, etc are our old guys. We have such a void in the 'good old guys' space that it renders us useless. We had Dempster, Gilbert, Roo and Joey - now we don't. When we had those guys, we had a huge void in the 'really good middle age guys' space, and no good kids at all. The way we're building, in 2-3 years these guys will be an outstanding senior core - and Billings, Gresham, Acres, Dunstan, Long, Steele, Marshall, Webster, Goddard, McCartin and co. will be a really good core of middle aged dudes. Coffield, Hunter-Clark and anyone drafted since then (including a top 3 pick this year) will be a really good crop of youngsters. We will be a very good side in 2 years. Forget this year, we're playing like a team with no good senior players and heaps of injuries. Which guess what? We are. Next year we will improve, and the year after we'll be really good. If we can add a ready made player or two on top of this, we will be a very, very good team in 2 years. Bookmark it!â Hopefully, we at Melbourne have nothing but blue skies ahead but if not, the above is a better attitude to have than the naysayers who want the coach, players and committee sacked, hung, drawn and quartered immediately.
