Gouga

Carlton beat us without mckay and only 1 goal from curnow. We should have won even without petty, but we blew it.

This time next week one of zorko or maynard will have a medal...

Need a 2020 style review and some serious change. The current coaches have indulged the players and their success. The lack of disipline in the semi final needs to be a fork in the road. We are stuck with goody and i think mark williams is good for the group. The rest should be turned over.

It was the first 5 minutes of a final. In the air Maynard realised the opportunity to drop the shoulder and he took it. Anyone who thinks he had "no choice" doesn't understand football. I am confident the MRO gives him at least 3, otherwise AFL is duty bound to appeal. I like many, cannot stand the pandering to the loudest voice in the media. Just imagine Maynard was Viney and Brayshaw was Pendlebury. Would Collingwood supporters be ringing the radio saying Viney had "no choice"?

Shaking my head at the laurie take. He showed a fair bit I thought.

That number looks like it includes finals? Presume thats how we got 13 home games.

It was 75,000 members and average home crowd of 50,000 by 2023. Remember this is an "on" year hosting anzac eve and kings birthday so actually think the club will be a little disappointed.

We have so much to play for, but max's 200th should be the icing on the cake. Expect a huge effort sunday afternoon.

May have been raised elsewhere, but we were back training at Junction Oval yesterday as guests of Cricket Victoria. Goes without saying, but less than ideal preparation for a finals series hopping around city venues. Nothing has changed since the old Junction days...

Hope this is true. Squeezing into MOPT was never going to work. We would have had to compromise too much.

Giving gawn a week off means his 200th will be against the swans at the scg (not hawks at the mcg)... Having said that it is the smart play. Hibberd will be close to dislodging mcvee, oliver and sparrow return for harmes and jordon.

Remember we were cleared of trying to lose games. We got fined for being the employer of connolley and bailey, because they discussed the benefit of losing games. Wallace just admitted doing the same thing.

Please send the cheque to gary pert, ceo, melbourne football club... The stupid thing is in round 22 2007 is richmond and carlton secured cotchin/priority pick respectively by losing. We are the ones that went out and won, effectively costing us a priority pick in 2007 and a better priority pick in 2008 (blease pick would have been natanui). It was the system, not the teams. I see no difference between the richmond coaches discussing the benefit of securing cotchin during a game than connolley/bailey discussing the benefit of securing scully and trengove during a meeting.

Our medium defenders - salem, rivers, bowey and mcvee - were brilliant as a group. Huge impact ball in hand and didn't concede goals.

We are a 43-1-16 team sice Round 1 2021, including a premiership. Anyone feel better now?

I was thinking we try brayshaw at casey?

Bloke held onto an 18 year old brad green while dean wallis punched him in the throat during the first quarter of the 2000 grand final. What else you need to know?

I think the Keith 'Bluey' Truscott tribute is great. The blue spitfire on red looks great, but agree the rest is just ok. For anyone interested, previous designs are here: http://footyjumpers.com/melbournepromo.htm

We have a shocking record recently against the swans, especially at the G. I hope this game has been circled as a must win for a while now.

Great call... Primus, murphy and rance?

I noticed doctor Laura sat next to him all night and was talking a lot. I think she was in counseling mode. Trying to support him best she could.

I wouldn't be smart about it. They will get kicked out of Tullamarine, find new land and build a new facility all before we get something in the MOPT.

Our players and coaches need to take responsibility to actually go out and win the game too. Our shocking record against Collingwood is probably the biggest knock on our current era.

Collingwood are on the defensive because they are trying to salvage a deal which clearly benefits their members. That in itself is fine. Its the recreating of history that I strongly object to. Collingwood knows they do not have a real claim to the G, and had nothing to do with the construction of either stand (which were constructed for the '92 Cricket World Cup and '06 Commonwealth Games respectively), other than moving home games there. They cannot compete with the 160 odd years of history the Dees have with the MCC and ground. The most frustrating thing is their supporters read this stuff and believe it...
