Koolaid ....Obviously now the official drink at the MFC We nail mediocrity.

We're downhill skiers...

The mighty Red and Blue... in September. ....

Find it uncomfortable. ..not for your trivial concerns

Hilarious. ..the epitome of the Melbourne stereotype.. Rather be at the snow...and in September. ...says it all. Footy aint for everyone. ... Especially those in Red and Blue Keep on shredding... eh

Should have just thrown it in the bin... (thats where our season and brains trust is )

Just to see it again. ...GOLD !!

Re OP Not sure whether to laugh or cry....drink is a given....

whats the situation with Rawlings ?? anyone...cheers

is there an issue with him getting on the park ? am just curious....otherwise it might not be as expensive as "too much"

AF I do hear what you're saying It is in a fashion one of a number of elements that goes to this whole thing.

And this is the Myth that is Melbourne We are all about back story but have amateur hour pantomime as the show. I really have nothing but admiration for someone who gets 300. What perplexes me is how few can differentiate between the ability for this to transpire...and ability full stop. If we we were a halfway decent list, halfway capably coached , halfway to a decent team Jones simply wouldn't get a look in. He's doing a version of a Bradbury. He gets a gig because we're rubbish atm. It'll look good in the footy record though..."Winning "

Thats marvellous for him ....Really congratulations . Does nothing for US Thats the difference in view. We gave Lewy 300 also... We are so desperate for relevancy. ..sad.

I get it...Hawks haven't won a final recently. ..phew. ..cant argue with that. Oh btw 2008 2013 2014 2015 say hello Yep...they haven't a clue...we've got it nailed. Thanks for that

They're there...it sure aint footy

Youre not getting my gist. Jones is no Hodge...not by a Flemington Straight. Hes been a workmanlike bloke. Its all very well to be charitable. .but surely there's a difference between a burb footy hero getting his gong and an AFL team applying professional assessment and all thatgoes along with that. In reality we are no better than a dysfunctional suburban team and run things like it. Hawthorn made the right call. Its thatt hey let these blokes go and still rebuild on the fly is the very point. We attempt rebuild after rebuild after rebuild and NEVER get there. Hawthorn gets it We dont They win silverware We dont

Hodge a much better player still. Your point ? We're currently an irrelevant club pandering to an 'ideal' Somehow a bloke getting 3oo is more the goal than winning silverware. I dont begrudge Jones. Good for him. Sums us up entirely. Let the rage begin

Land banking

Just marvee THIS is Melbourne

Watched for 30 secs...game gone from a farce to a joke. Sad

George ..this has been doing the rounds for a while...only awaitig Gils Dills to verify

Fellow Demonlanders this is just the beginning of the torch ( and think acetylene not lumens ) being applied to us. Finals will act as a diversion for a short while only. More than one source/informed jungle drummer has suggested to me it's not all happy families at Melbourne. .emphasis on 'families' Everyone of course is at liberty to believe what they will. That's a given. Another given is that the Purple was is something of a muppet puppet but really ppl need to to consider who the muppet puppet's master is ?? The media IS now the domain for the AFL, clubs, managers etc to come dancing in. The music has started. ...and im not thinking it's on 'Smooth'

Maybe not the inmates...but definitely lunatics. MFC Melbourne 's Football Challenged

It would be....probably on past form they'd give him an extension...It's our way eh !! lol

Essentially i agree...but i actually see next year as a classic year in two halves. We'll have a different take on our 'style' ..i'm sure. .one way or another. You'll have a preseason of some adjusting to game, to training..to us lol The pretend games will trial a few and try out some of the game. The first 5 or so games of year proper will hopefully start to bed in some footy and sort some players. Chunk...good bad and indifferent should take most of that in his stride. H'ed be far from the most influential player out there but he will give you a kind of meat and 3 veg week in week out. It wont be world shattering but he'll play a role..just no Academy Award stuff. I really do see him being of more use earlier and lesser later..and that's why.
