was inevitable that it would become merely another property the afl could somehow turn into a money-making venture

Farewell Clayton Oliver
officially 6th after finals, i believe we were cruelled with injury in 2022-23 at the end of the season; by comparison, in 2021 we got players back as finals loomed it makes all the difference to have a fit list

PODCAST: Rd 05 vs Essendon
just remember to hit the 'record' button! here's some generic q's for you to consider... generally speaking, the perception is that young team's get 'tired' as the season goes on and often drop off - the medja narrative appears to have that as the story for us in 2026, but we're not actually 'young' with a fair whack of experience at the top end and not much in the mid-range of 25-30 so... do you expect us to 'drop off' in 2026? do you think we should 'prioritise' youth and getting games into the likes of jefferson or kentfield instead of focusing on building team cohesion with the side that we've had for the majority of 2026 which is winning games and playing exciting, attacking footy? of our senior cohort who are out of contract at the end of this - melksham, plugger mac - do you think they will play on in 2027? (and thus stop milkshake's kids from crying)

NON-MFC: Round 5
i can't believe how good walker still is he's about to be 36! not many key forwards are still performing at his level at that age

PREGAME: Rd 05 vs Essendon
those were the days! sideshow bob, plugger, and fritsch was an amazing leading, bullocking, and smart positioning combo that we saw too infrequently mihocek has been a huge addition in 2026 - such a hard worker and such a smart footballer

Welcome to Demonland: Jai Culley

NON-MFC: Round 5
i think it'd be FAB to be there but it's quite clearly an invention to get a free pay day from a govt; better that it's sa than nsw as at least they have the infrastructure and passionate footy fans to support it and appreciate it i mean, sure, why not - easy money, and a great experience for those who live in sa / can afford to be there / work in the industry

PREGAME: Rd 05 vs Essendon
mfcss tells me that they'd split the points if the airline cancelled their flights and they weren't able to make it they've got a hope; it better be forlorn

CASEY: Rd 03 vs Box Hill
some of those clunk marks he took on the weekend when we went long down the line were excellent - he's always had strong hands in the contest

The Bailey Humphrey Thread
yah, not sure i agree here - he was regarded as one of the best emerging tall defenders in the competition and was thought to be likely to be a big time player no matter where he went we were super lucky to land him
