Round 15 v Essendon Saturday night at the G (their home game) another prime time game as well as obviously Queens Bday in round 13 (bye in round 14) https://www.afl.com.au/news/612566

I'm worried to the extent I'm worried about every game. If we turn up like the 1st half vs North we will lose. If we bring the defensive structure and system we've applied most of the year we will strangle them. Still yet to concede more than 73 points in a game.

I like Thursday Night Footy as long as it's not us playing

No updates this week? Still stuck on 46896

And in 2018 we won by 90 points

Perhaps Jeff needs to take a leaf out of his own book as Premier and start selling off assets to fund the Hawks shortfalls. Their premiership cups will shortly be up on eBay, starting bids $1.

And then they whinge when club's like ours, Saints, North, Dogs need extra funding from the AFL.

That was crazy, it's like he's stuck in the 80s. Yeah Teague is at home thinking "gee whiz look at that a footy side with a defensive structure" - what does Robbo think footy club's do all week? Circle work and 100 X 100s?

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED

I assume a lot of contracts would have clauses in it that contract would increase proportional to any salary cap increase?

It's pretty amazing how many Melbourne podcasts there are. There's a couple of other general AFL podcasts I listen to as well, Lace Out which is hosted by a Melbourne supporter (and his co-host a Port supporter) and Lystics AFL Podcast hosted by a Melbourne supporter and an ex-Collingwood now Freo supporter. The Bulldogs don't have any podcast as far as I can tell although apparently the comedian who used to do their banners is working on one - he has a podcast with Lehmo called They Came To Play. Another one I listen to is Junktime which is a comedy footy podcast which comes with an *extreme language warning*. Funny guys though they've done writing for a couple of different AFL comedy shows, I think one of them currently works on The Front Bar. Another great podcast is the Kick to Kick podcast which is an AFL history podcast hosted by an Essendon supporter and up to three Melbourne supporters (they don't always appear on each episode but usually at least 2 of the 3). They go through each AFL season an episode at a time and are currently up to 1959 so a good time to jump in

Because we are a part of the MCC and the MCG is our home - the other teams are just tenants. There is minimal pressure on the surface these days, one training run a week isn't going to do any damage.

Not with an attitude like that!

Melbourne went 8-0 in 1955 and 1956 and went back to back Focus on the positives

Marijuana is a bit different to meth

A priority pick at the end of first round wouldnt be a huge deal. The Swans bank too 5 priority picks every year through their academy and noone seems to really care. The Dogs got the number 1 pick last year after playing finals. The draft is completely compromised l don't have a problem with a team like North getting a PP.

Yep I'd only ever seen the snippet on the 100 Years of Footy doco from 1996 from memory the video linked above has a longer segment but the entire show would be great viewing. When I think of the amount of content consigned to the scrapheap over the years by the broadcasters and the league it makes me cry. If only the VFL had a Steve Sabol/Vince McMahon type in charge who knew the value of keeping ownership of and storing the video catalogue of the sport. Can you imagine the streaming service the AFL could have? Such a shame.

Yet Trac got pinged twice in extremely unlucky circumstances. First time he collected the footy, was tackled and the ball spilt free almost all simultaneously. The second time the ball was basically knocked into his lap and he was tackled instantly with no chance of the ball coming out yet he was pinged for not making a sufficient attempt nevermind the fact the ball was never coming out and it should've been a ball up.

His pressure has been elite all year. Look at the way he tackles, guys way bigger than him can't escape his grip. Reminds me of Michael Long when he first burst on the scene in 89/90.

I read that as Paul Salmon originally and thought "I didn't realise the big Fish was so eloquent"

Yep and they spell it the same whether you went to a public school or a private school ?

Thanks for linking to my YouTube account I have a tonne of MFC videos/games that I plan on uploading at some stage when I finally get time - a lot have been uploaded to YouTube over the years but I think there's still quite a few that aren't up yet

I'm sure there would be other ex-players who would hold an opposite view You don't flirt with form, particular in our situation. Perhaps if we'd already been up for a couple of years yeah, sure but not after 1/3 of a good season in 3 years.
