It's a long season, I don't mind if they wait a few weeks and bring him back through casey.

MFCSS will be exorcised when we are 10 goals up with two minutes to go in a grand final (or when the siren goes when we are in front, whichever comes sooner)

I had the same issue multiple trying to process a standard CC payment. I think the CC Gateway is getting slammed and can't handle the traffic (i reckon the $$ they would make to fix the issue is probably less than the money they would make by fixing it sadly). I changed my payment method to Clicktopay and it worked first time (before 10am this morning)

hahaha I like to poll the electorate. I'm signed up, been a member a long time!

Haha don't spend it all at once!

I'll trust us when we are going for back to back flags.

Yep, I'm a Covid refugee who has returned to Melbourne from overseas. For the first time in years I've been able to have in person footy chat with people. Every single Melbourne supporter I've bumped into, when asked about their hopes for the season ahead has pretty much said "I've given up on having any expectations" LOL

Are they anything like Archegos Capital Management?

How about these interest rates!

Who doesn't love Jesse...but we are (trying to be) a football club not a fairytale club. Damaged goods, buyer beware.

As a CEO and given we are still in season, he really can't really do anything but back his people. I was interested to note that we could start work on a home base right now, if we were not being particular about a location in the Shadow of the MCG. I think this is the right approach. I thought he was less than convincing when the host asked whether Goodwin would be coaching Round 1 2021. A simple 'yes' would have sufficed, even if he had to reneg on it later. And jeez, he really does sound like Robert Walls.

If you think we are a top 4 list, then of course we are mentally weak. But the reality is that we have a mid-table list with low footy IQ, bad foot skills and relative inexperience. On any given weekend we have a less than 50% chance of beating top 4 teams, 50-50 chance of beating teams between 5 and 14, and a better than 50% chance of beating the cellar dwellers. Pretty much how it's panned out this year. ?♂️. If we win 2 out of our last 3 games we will have done very well.

Wow. Almost as good as Tim Membrey's record against us. Extrapolated over a 22 game season that's 64 goals. Membrey's almost a coleman Medalist vs us.

The side is still chronically short of leadership and footy IQ. A recruit similar to what we had in Jordan Lewis or what Luke Hodge did at Brisbane is worth considering. Is a player of this type available?

No worries. It's a great listen! I was only a kid but i remember reading the match reports and seeing Simon Madden whinging about having stud marks all over him. O'Dwyer lost two teeth and had six stitches as a result of the clash: https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/122299343

Steve O'Dwyer and Madden really go at it. Knees and studs up! Incidentally there is a really great podcast that came out this week - Darren Bennett goes into some detail about this game: https://omny.fm/shows/the-greatest-season-that-was-93/darren-bennett-the-all-star

"Tactically Melbourne have become a side that backs in their system and does not make many adjustments during a game." ...Or over 4 years (being slightly facetious)
-
1998 was a lost opportunity, in something like the last 8 weeks leading up to the 1998 prelim, either Lyon, Schwarz, Neitz or Farmer kicked at least 5 goals in each game... In the prelim all we had was single goalkickers. Anyway looks like cabin fever has set in with this thread lol

We've got enough B-graders.

Gotta be those russian bots

I just woke up from a 15 year coma, who did we get instead?

Hope Geelong fans went easy on you during #186!
