Sam Murray under ASADA Investigation
Can confirm this and there was also another star player from another Victorian AFL club involved. Would be the biggest headline of the year if they’d been caught when they went into hiding!
- Who would be your preferred umpires on Friday?

Don't Believe In Never
Here's our 'Don't Believe In Never' video from the start of the season. Amazing to think we're a genuine contender despite Hogan, Lever and Hunt all missing from the young stars highlighted below!

Open Training - Saturday, 1st September, 2018
I’m heading down. What’s the best place to park?

Malcolm Blight attacks the MVP Awards
I recall Blight on special commentary suggesting Hogan be dropped late in the year as he wasn't scoring lots of goals against top 4 teams... fair to say his opinion shouldn't carry too much weight these days. Wasn't he confusing Viney with Moloney at some point last year? He was a good player and coach, but the past few years his sense on reality has definitely slipped away... I think the coaches votes carry the most weight personally.

Bernie Vince Retires
I'll always remember Bernie fondly. He chose to come to us when we were a struggling club and really bought in to doing his bit to improve us. He played some elite football in the red and blue too, winning our BnF and playing his role as a tagger and defender as his career progressed. He's a really laid back guy, and very likeable character who always seemed to bring positivity to the club. It's a shame he's retiring, but the time is right. Best of luck to him and hopefully we see his kids run around in red and blue in a few decades time.

13 Years Ago ...
Ah that's the day Bomber Thompson joked about Jeff White getting his head in the way of Steven Kings boot after he had his faced caved in... fair to say from that moment onwards Bomber was one of the stupidest and least likeable people involved with footy. His stupidity and poor attitude to life has since been confirmed by a myriad of personal problems... what a deadset turd of a human he is. This was a poor day for the club. Barely gave a yelp. Hopefully next week is a far better result!

I’m in need of two tickets!

If Clarry CHOO CHOO DOESNT make AA I will..
Roll my eyes as media favorites who had inferior seasons are selected ahead of him. Then return to my daily hunt to find Matthew Nicholls and end his existence.

Nathan Freeman
He had good attributes in his draft year, but I haven't seen enough of him this year to know whether he's lost his burst of speed. That was his main strength, so without it he'd be just an average role player at best. If his speed is still there, I'd say he's worth a roomie spot. If not, then pass.

The Importance of Jordan Lewis
He's definitely showing great leadership and imparting his experience onto our young playing group. It's exactly what we need, and exactly what we recruited him for. I hope once his playing days are finished that he joins our coaching staff. He's a smart operator and commands respect from the players. He'll go on to be a successful coach IMO.

Changes v Geelong - Elimination Final
Re Scott Selwood, he’s changed role and played as a defensive forward with good success in the later half of the season. I suspect he’ll man Hibberd or Lewis down back to limit our rebound potential. Clarry will have a huge game. Can’t wait to see him and Brayshaw on the big stage!

Petracca in a rut?
It wasn't bruise free - we hit them hard! However, it was definitely a low pressure match. We laid 60 tackles, they only laid 46 tackles. That's pretty embarrassing and shows a complete lack of intensity. 46 tackles is one of the lowest tackle counts by a team in 3-4 years. It will be up around the 90-100 mark again comes finals, so we'll need to adapt to twice as much pressure as we experienced on the weekend. Hopefully Trac fires up on Friday night against the Cats!

Finals Tickets
At this stage we don’t even have the option of a functioning website to purchase any tickets at all!

Finals Tickets
I just needed to get one MCC visitor ticket. Just one. Couldn’t even manage that. Now my dads not gonna get to go and will likely be dead by this time next year. I’m seriously gutted by this and will be contacting the club to see if there’s anything they can do.

Farewell Jesse Hogan
We'd be stupid to actively trade Hogan. Quality key position players are hard to identify and develop properly, and he is pure quality. However, if he really wanted to be traded to a WA club, then obviously we have to look at it. I'd say Pick 5 and one of Andy Brayshaw or Adam Cerra would be a fair trade. Gives us a great young midfield talent and a pick 5 to draft another talented youngster/trade for a good established player. Only trade him if he wants out.

The Importance of Jordan Lewis
He's had another solid year. He's obviously not the quickest player going around now, but he still goes in hard when it's his turn. Now that we've made September, his experience, maturity and on-field coaching will be vital. This is what we recruited him for. Let's hope he delivers!

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - CLAYTON OLIVER
At this rate he will finish his career as the best player to pull on the red and blue in my lifetime. He's phenomenal and still underrated by the wider football community somehow!
-
James Harmes take a bow.
Second half of this season he has developed into a legitimate weapon. He used to try the fend offs and get caught, now he's breaking through everything like Dustin Martin! He's got decent speed and is aggressive with his run both offensively and defensively. Credit to him and the coaching staff for his development this year. Sensational to see a born and bred Dee thriving to take us the next step!

During the break next weekend I will...

Petracca in a rut?
He's got the tools to be a game changer, but he's not there... yet. He had a good game today, but it could've been a lot better if not for a some poor decisions and missed shots. He definitely needs to work on his set shots as a starting point. He's dangerous up forward due to his great marking ability and strength to stand up in tackles and dish off to teammates. He needs to be able to finish off his good work, because he is working hard to get involved, often without reward. It will come with maturity and experience. Hopefully he puts it together on the big stage! Definite x-factor and weapon in September!

Sam Weideman
His leap and timing for overhead marks is so pure. It's textbook perfect! Great to see him start sticking them now. Like I said earlier in this thread, he's got all the tools to be a good key forward, just needs to get fitter so he can stay involved for four quarters. Today he took another step towards that. Looking very promising and definitely worthy of a place in our best 22 for finals!

GAMEDAY - Round 23
Bummer. There goes 2-3 goals missing!

Round 23 Non MFC Games
Dogs definitely deserved to beat Richmond there. Unlucky to hit the post so many times! Late in the season we have seen Richmond are clearly beatable at the MCG. I'd back 3-4 teams to beat them come finals time now, and I'm convinced they won't win the flag again. They're nowhere near as good the media makes out and I'd love for us to get a crack at them!
