Bring Back the Place Kick???
Was that a torp or a flat punt?

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - CHARLIE SPARGO
I remember George Bissett and Ricky? Spargo often carving up the Dees in the 60s. Sad for FFC that they missed this bloke.

Lever Quits Social Media
It's one thing to say Lever had a bad game, quite another to conclude he's no good after a handful of games. And why do admins allow players of our club to be called spuds or potatoes anyway. And why do demonlanders continually reference such sledging as OP's, they are not OP's, they are one-fingered typists.

Which Team can we beat on current Form?
We are about level with the Bailey/Scully/Trengrove renaissance, unfortunately. Probably decided on the last kick with either team missing from directly in front.

Following Melbourne is like being addicted to a really bad drug - discusss

TMac our biggest loss
Clarkson coaching Melbourne is just the Messiah complex. Clarkson is just a naughty boy. We absolutely need TMac, Jay Viney, Jack and Todd Viney back on the pitch.

We just don't have the cattle. And if players like Oliver and Petracca do become genuine A graders they will be 'recruited' by Hawthorn or Manchester United. Plus ce change.

Taking out the fend-off
Why is Dusty given free reign with his arm-blocking tactics when it is barred as a strategy in ruck contests (Big Maxy). Why doesn't our club, any club - employ some martial arts dude to teach players to grab Dusty's wrist and draw him forward so he loses balance. Really embarassing watching his triple fend off last night. Take away the don't argue and dusty is just another player.

Round 5 Non-MFC Games
Would have got it on 2nd attempt but for bad interference from Davis. Carlisle's only offence not wearing a hawthorn jumper.

Red and Blue Champions.
I had these cards once. I haven't been able to purge these rich red, blue colours despite 50 years of towering disappointment.

Max Gawn not in Top 8 Ruckmen according to The Age
Ha ha, so Max Gawn not in the top 8 ruckmen in AFL. Now you have got that published why not move onto other sports and see what other insights you can share. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/tap-and-go-nic-nat-proves-the-afl-ruckman-is-relevant-again-20180411-p4z922.html

Lyon on Brayshaw
Gary Lyon is an all-time great of the MFC and he can errrr, say what he likes.

2018 Membership Thread
We got a call from Clayton Oliver, which prompted an early renewal. All our bling and glitter duly delivered. No complaints.

3 Good Things Vs North Melbourne
1. We are the top Vic. Side 2. We stopped North drawing level on all-time win loss ratio. 3. Bigg can kick straight.

Changes vs Hawthorn R4
They came into VFL 1924 or '25. Percy Cerutty got them running up sand hills in 1960 and the rest is history.

Best of 3 Grand Final
Watch for teams in game 1 having built up a lead by 3)4 time then coasting - and dragging off stars in the last quarter, whilst punters make their dash for the car park or Richmond station at the 20 minute mark, quite unedifying. What would the ticket price be for three games and what kind of stupidity/sleight of hand fashioned this marketing ploy anyway.

Best of 3 Grand Final
Six finals games in a row for most teams to win the flag, and the last round is usually a 'final' as well. A war of attrition, pointless and unnecessary.

Bringing back the torp!
No love on here yet for Graeme Molloy. He was torp king in the early 70s.
