we missed a target up front...thats all. small big other irrelelevant

now qualify them !! numbers aint everything

we're still learning. Some big big faux pas. Opportunities not taken. But an interesting contest. it will get better I feel

maybe didnt exert all he could me thinks Maybe thats harsh but he seemed to ebb

pretty close. Dunn was a godsend down back. The maggots played far too much place in the event. Thought Frawley ought to have been back also

cant agree with all but you have valid input...keep going

not that outclassed.I know its often said but they had a few lucky bounces and definitely the favour of the maggots but I dont think we were outclassed... beaten ..yes

dont get why some players kick so high. Kick it low and hard fellas ffs

well we came to play...they came to win

bout 4-5 players off a decent side...we have a future

These maggots come from Vic park surely

Dunn...bottle his blood

Build a statue to Jones

green maggots

geez we need a target and belief to get it to him

you f'n dog umpire

BEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!

hardly....go sit in the naughty corner

agree...Attrocious umpiring

mind boggling turnaround.. Very impressed

A lot of ppl are jumping at shadows. Lets see what actually transpires...no ?

Yankees is used as an example.. we're not forming any liaison.

Funny how all of this is lost to those that think everything is either , or. A lot of what has ( in my mind ) gone under bridges in recent times as far as the MFC and footy goes is our relevance to things. Firstly to the competition. We were a basketcase lets not delude ourselves. We languished and were used as a mop by all comers. This has been addressed and we continue to improve. But there's a more , dare I say holistic approach and that looks to our relevance to this city. What I believe Bartlett envisions is that we arent just a bit part player in this town that we are part of its core. Melbourne as a city is truly nuts about footy. When I first came to Oz as a tacker I was asked as a 5 yo in the school ground , first day , what team I followed. who did I barrack for. Little did I realise how grand an effect on the rest of my life as to how I answered. I didnt even know what footy was, seriously. It was Feb 1965. Another kid prompted me with, what FOOTBALL team did I follow. Even as a foreign 5 yo I knew FOOTBALL meant something even if not what code. I now resided in MELBOURNE, so I figured there must be a team called MELBOURNE. I didnt know we we reigning premiers. Sheer arrse that !! lol. So i declared i was a Melbourne follower and have been ever since. The point here is that even if one doesnt know what this game is etc you can still relate to a team called Melbourne in the city of Melbourne.If I could there ought to be a lot of others who might also. We need to promote this idea. This is what Glen is suggesting I sense.. There used to be that jingle that Oz was Football Meat Pies Kangaroos and Holden cars. This cleverly suggested that the Holden was THE auto of Oz. If we go to the City of Melbourne we have to be THE football team that first comes to peoples minds, irrespective of any allegiance we must be this game in this town. Go Glen

My point being it started as an American March ing Tune. We CHANGED it to suit. It wasn't ours to begin with. Most vfl afl songs are but bastardised versions of classics. Change happens. We evolve. We weren't the Demons always either. Appreciate your passion.

thats merely window dressing to whats really going on. Not everything happens at ground level.
