NON-MFC: Round 13, 2022
Huh there's no clash here black and red with black shorts. Navy and white with white shorts. Absolutely zero confusion

NON-MFC: Round 13, 2022
Sweet FA - not being able to remember it tells the whole story They had some plans that fizzed out because sucked on field. Had the the little 150 logo on the jumper and a small event

NON-MFC: Round 13, 2022
Really wish our football club celebrated our 150th properly, and put on a show like this back in 08. Unfortunately our admin had no spine, about as equal as our team then. Should have been a celebration of the oldest football club in the world regardless of the onfield results at the time

TEAMS: Rd 12 vs Sydney
Not sure what to make of this RP. If he was a BP or HFF he should play for Sydney??? Seems odd

GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs Fremantle
Missed last week - had to take the kid to the Harry Potter Show. Missing this week for the wife's birthday dinner... Not a happy camper here.... at least I get to watch most of it on the stupid box this week

Chandler Tackle
Personally I think both are about right Chandler pinned the arms and tackled him head first into the ground. Crazy dangerous despite a lack of intent. By pinning the arms he has a duty of care to make sure the opponents head doesn't whack into the ground. Imagine the uproar here if it was the other way around and our bloke got ko'd or your son - would not be happy one bit. Liam Ryan only takes 1-2 steps into the bump. It was certainly an intentional bump with bowzas head down. However ther really isn't much force in it and bowey isn't injured. Clumsy bumps happen regularly - he's lucky that he didn't generate more force into the bump and didn't connect. End result is a high contact low force knock - 1-2 weeks for mine - he got the lower end. I'm strangely OK with it

What They Are Saying at Arden Street
Would take bbb at those odds in a heart beat… he only needs to kick 2 goals 🤣🤣

Welcome to Demonland: Jacob Van Rooyen
If there was ever a soft debut slot for him it’s this week I say get him in. If as everyone says once he’s in it’s going to be hard to get him back out - that’s beautiful - all for making our team better not a fan of this let him ‘develop’in the 2s. he’s physically ready, playing well. Should be playing in the top tier to develop against proper backmen no point in waiting for a slot that may not appear… Jakovich had to kick 60 something goals in 8 weeks as we had Darren Bennett going well at senior level… we were immediately better with him in. No point in a physically ready gun in waiting to be playing 2s its very different to throwing jack watts to wolves on QBD

MFC Rebranding for Indigenous Round
OK I've changed my tune. Seeing the jumper next to the north one I like it. Doesn't look as busy as I originally thought. Maybe cos the north one is really intricately patterned... but anyway I like it

GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs West Coast
Way way better than sex. Was there. The relief. The release of all that pent up pain and suffering. The 3 minute burst live - left 60,000 people in that stands absolutely gobsmacked and into party time. @skuit I may be doing it wrong as well but this was 46 years of suffering being released - and it took the same time as sex ( under 3 minutes 😉🤣🤣🤣)

GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs West Coast
We owe this mob soo much pain and misery. What they have done to us over the years especially over there.... I sincerely hope we show these pr*^ks absolutely no mercy and destroy whatever little bit of dignity they have left. Us by 20+goals and rubbing their noses in it. That's what I want this afternoon

Lumumba sues AFL and Filth
Listening to the audio snippets - it sounds to me like Bucks is trying to diffuse the situation and is no way in the wrong. Harry certainly had the right to be upset with Eddie over the King Kong gaffe and everything else. So it seems like Bucks was attempting to diffuse the situation and protect the club a bit - probably the right thing to do as opposed to throwing the baby out with the bathwater which is what Harry seems to think should have happened A messy situation they have themselves in.

NON-MFC: Round 8, 2022
Fingers crossed for both bombers and hawks to land in 9-12 by end 22. No man’s land… no finals no super draft picks mediocrity for the next few years.

MFC Rebranding for Indigenous Round
love the devil snake on the back of the jumper, love the names . Hate the front this time - FAR too much going on. Have always loved the Indigenous designs but not sold at all on this one

When was the last time you watched Melbourne lose?
As strange as it sounds I miss getting emotional at footy games... it's kinda boring just winning. Comfortably. Dont get me wrong - I hate losing more than anything else. I miss the CONTEST at present. Yes the Hawks took it up to us - but we weren't close to full strength and it never felt in danger despite them closing late. Can't wait for the saints, Sydney, Brisbane and freo games to hopefully witness a contest

GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Hawthorn
Grew up in the 80s. Played all my junior footy in the Hawthorn district junior football league. Played countless games at glenferrie oval for interleague games.. under 15s and 17s there with some very well known names around the league ( not getting named here though) before the juniorpathway was disbanded. Absolutely HATE this mob with a [censored] passion. They used to bury our noses in it. Time to repay the debt. Kill those [censored] Hawks... OK I feel better now

GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Hawthorn
@Josh disappointing. As a fellow meat smoker I am shocked and dismayed at this brazen display of not pregame smoking meat. Smoke some meat during the day today. Take the meat with you my dear boy. Why not add the hot meat fresh out of thermocontainer to your charcuterie board. I mean you are a Melbourne member...
