Top 10 MFC Indigenous Players
Can't really fault the list. I think Farmer reached the greatest heights so no.1 is sealed. Flash for what he turned into can't be ignored, a great career and always someone you were glad was on our side.

Financial Issues MFC
Only thing that's going to help us is results at this stage. Members that can help the club thank you, members doing it tough I understand. We just need results.

No More Booing or Shouting at Games
What's the point, cardboard cutouts are the future anyway.

Jack Steven Incident
After reading the Brock McLean article I can't help but think he's in the same mould. Hopefully he gets it together.

Sacked: Brock McLean reveals booze and drug binges
One of the more strange and weird articles I've seen recently. Firstly I'm sorry to hear about his struggle and hopefully he's finally on the up. No-one deserves to feel worthless. Things have never quite added up when it came to Brock and his football career. Great in and under on baller, good vision to make up for his lack of pace. Was part of the future identity of our club going forward and putting 10k of his own money to our cause led by Jimmy highlighted his then love for the club. He then leaves, urinates on his former club on live tv and then goes on a trail of erratic behavoir attacking trolls on Twitter and losing the plot in games. After he left Melbourne I never heard him say a nice thing about the club again. Not saying he didn't have good reason to but it's very sad when this wasn't just any MFC player. In 2016 I was coming back from Bright after the annual Brighter Days festival and saw him at the Euroa servo with a crew of biker types, probsbly means nothing but it does explain a bit about the company he was keeping around the time of his lowest of lows. Don't have much else to say about it really, just these observations. The photo was disturbing. Nothing wrong with his image but when paired with this article it wreaks of identity crisis.

GAMEDAY: Rd 01 vs West Coast
One of the saddest days in footy was Fitzroy’s last game and it was in Perth. Very similar feel, who knows when we see our beloved Demons again in the Comp we know and love. 1 quarter to go.

GAMEDAY: Rd 01 vs West Coast
Bit late to the party but there’s nothing but strange feelings. Haven’t felt like this since the merger game in 96.

Lions Trying to Avoid "Doing a Melbourne"
Why is the comparison so obvious according to Mitch? Not pulling a Bulldogs, not an Adelaide, no it’s definitely Melbourne. Only remote similarity is being out of the finals so long.

Petracca Closes in on New Deal
Good to hear, now let’s get it done! Relatively early would be nice. Save the ego for the next contract after he’s torn the competition apart.

Gawn Set to Be Named Sole Captain
Well that could indeed be the case, I think a lot of us thought Jack might have been the heart and soul of the club with his history and his never say die approach. We can only go by what we see I guess.

POSTGAME: MS01 vs Adelaide
Lever has got his eye in again Mitch Brown adds something else to the forward line Ed Langdon finds space with his running, badly needed Viney’s tackling pressure immense Trac showing hopefully a glimpse of what’s to come. He’s huge but he looks to have more agility now. The guys look primed fitness wise, The hard mental breaking yards have been done and these guys look like a group of SAS soldiers.

Gawn Set to Be Named Sole Captain
It’s the right way to go. Jack will still very much be a spiritual leader and continue to lead by example on the field. It also doesn’t rule out regaining the role down the track. Captaincy is never an exact science.
-
GAMEDAY: MS01 vs Adelaide
Definitely a bit of excitement and it’s good to see most here share that view. No real expectations other than I’m interested in seeing how Trac is used, how Mitch Brown fits and our Pickett looks. There’s probably more but I’m happy to just observe.

The Soccer thread
A typical Simeone performance from Athletico this morning, credit to them it makes the tie more interesting.

Best Ever Player at Your Club?
These lists tend to get pretty warped but with Plough being a boyhood Melbourne fan you could do a lot worse.

Gablett... the better
Snr was the most talented to ever play the game and was probably what the game is all about. However the consistency of Jnr and professionalism is now what the game is about. The problem is though there have been many players like Jnr and although he may be one of the best there has NEVER been a player like Snr.

Tool - New album
Yeah I really liked it and listened to it probably 10 times the first day. Over the weekend a friend cranked Invincible in his car with his fairly sweet sound system. Classic Tool. Do I put it ahead of Aenema or Lateralus? No. Still very good though.
