She's not wrong. Women's football started with two teams that offered the best of the best. The league then added Brisbane, which immediately started stretching the talent pool. The quality is poor, with the gap between each club's most and least talented players unseen across any pro or amateur league. Low scoring, beltings,players that can barely run out a match. So how does the league get money out of it without seeming to backtrack? reduce the number of games, focus on key players and matches, maximise return. It should have stayed as a two team festival, with a new team added every two years. A round-robin "festival", with team's competing for the cup. The league was expanded too much, too soon, and it's ruined it.

surprised to see WC so low. We had some good years, particular 2000, 2002 and 2006. Not enough though. I've said it once and I'll say it again..Melbourne supporters deserve a bronze statue out the front of the MCG.

Picking we finish 4th and tumble out in straight sets. Including an after the siren kick against Geelong.

We have won 14 (Premiership) quarters and lost two by a point

Half time is an opportunity to adjust. You never really know how the opposition is going to come out. For what it's worth we've generally started okay and then gone up a gear in the third. That's fine so long as you can sustain in for 2 quarters. Last year we were gifting teams 6-7 goal runs early in the game, which makes it a tower to climb. In 2018 we've almost always been in the match before the third quarter. Even on saturday night when we were playing average football, our defense was accountable and we didn't let Adelaide score easily. Watch their goals. They had to work extremely hard for them while we had a bunch of soft ones over the back. -
Doubtful imo. I would pick 25k-28k.

12 months please.

Tex and Jenkins, softest big men in the game

Walker is a great SANFL player, at AFL level he is imposing at best but irrelevant and dumb at worst. -
Tony Jones hosts The Footy Show now?

Congratulations Bernie Vince on 100 MFC Games

Would likely choose Crows, his kids...unless we win a flag while he's playing. Has a real estate agency in Melbourne so wonder if he will stick around he after he retires? IMO is having his second best season after his B&F season. Been consistently reliable and accountable in defense. Had an up and down season last year but has found a new role this year. -
I leave at 5am on September 30. Just in case.

Richmond won a flag on the back of playing one good quarter every week. This year they are especially dominant in the 4th. We stuck at it and kept pushing on the back of a pretty average first half.

What they're saying over at West Lakes

Getting this tattooed on my forearm. -
He's 2 from 2 at AO now if I believe. Maybe 3 from 3 if he played Port there in 2016. He seems to like playing there. he's game there in 2014 was memorable.

Zero confidence from here.

Every time Oliver handballs, my prostate pulsates.

You could have said the same of Jetta in 2013.

The ironic thing is that when we were an awful team, Jones epitomized our absolute best. Now that we're actually decent, he epitomizes our worst. If someone askee, "How did Melbourne play in the first half?" you could show them a Jones highlight package from the game so far and that would answer their question.

Spud vs Spud makes for a fascinating contest.

We're playing poorly, so is Adelaide, but we're worse. Adelaide is seriously average, and if we lose this, so are we.
