We were up for 50 and almost lost. 5 minutes into the last, my girlfriend asked if we were safe. "Yeah it's game over." Nek minnit...

Since 1980: 59 games, 14 wins, 45 losses vs Hawthorn

Added "Score 100 points". Before Round 1, we went 31 matches without scoring 100 points. Forgot that one! Added.

Added Adelaide.

Added a few more.

I actually hated writing it. I'm not joking. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Saints are going to take Petracca. http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-premiership/st-kilda-set-to-knock-back-offers-for-pick-1-with-christian-petracca-high-on-saints-draft-agenda/story-e6frf3e3-1227091487454

Was that in '98? He was super that game. I remember him getting jeered by the MCC members as he was benched in the 2000 Grand Final. He was god awful.

I must one of a few that genuinely doesn't care and enjoy seeing young kids play well. I'm admittedly angry that he's playing well while the guy we chose over him (when we appeared split between the two) can't get a kick at VFL level. But that's how drafting works. One kid got drafted into a team now destined for greatness, the other into one of the worst teams of all time. If it wasn't us that picked Toump over Wines, it would have been someone else.

The kid is 21 and has played just over 50 games. Give him a break! He's been a key player in every one of our wins this year. His ability to beat one of the opposition's key forwards is integral to the team's ability to win a match of footy. He takes KPP and normally does quite well. That said what is it with Melbourne recruiting and developing such poor kicks in the backline? In the 00s we had Nicholson, Ferguson, Bell. Now we have McDonald, Grimes, and Garland has the occasional brain fart. I miss Anthony Ingerson.

IMO the club should look to draft a long-term prospect with the ideal in building for the future. We don't need ready made players that will help us win now. *runs and hides*

He isn't up to it? He was one of if not the best player against Geelong in HORRID conditions. The kid just struggled to play in Darwin heat after a tough outing the week before. It's not surprising. Give him a break, guys. He's played like 10 games ffs.

He has played like 5 games. Give me a break.

WUT! Talk about premature. This club is a rabble I tells ya!

He's OK.

Andrew Obst back in about 93 at the Marketeers lunchion at the old Sheridan Hotel on Spring St. Never met another MFC player. I was about 7 or 8 at the time.

James Cook came from the Bulldogs in 2000. In his first senior game, against Adelaide in the Ansett Cup at Football Park, he booted 6 goals in a win on a Sunday night. We lost the following week I believe. In round one against Richmond I think it was he did nothing, then the following week against the Kangas on a Friday night he booted 6 and we mauled the roos. After that he was never seen again. Retired mid-year. Very injury prone at all 3 of his clubs, was a decent goal kicker though. Had the potential for 100 in a year, but never got the consistency of games going.
