We're Not Dead Yet - The 2025 Season
We're deader than Kelsey's nuts, now I just want to ruin the value of our traded draft pick.

Luke Jackson back to Victoria?
Basing any life decision on Quinton Narkle remaining at a club for longer than a couple of seasons seems fraught with danger.

Luke Jackson back to Victoria?
Whoever has to replace Max is on a hiding to nothing, may as well be somebody we've got happy memories of.

Tom Fullarton
Ironically after his ruck skills were defamed last year, Fullarton wasn't bad doing that. Unfortunately for him, he's nowhere near it as a forward.

What they're saying down at Punt Road
Not sure Jacinta would be bothered, but it would be funny if they had to use the sub before 3/4 time and were left one short due to the ankle bracelet going off.

What they're saying down at Cockburn
It's peak upset interstate fan to think the same people who gave Melbourne opening home games against GWS, Gold Coast and Freo could care less about us.

Time to go Goody?
If we're lucky it will help us lose 40-60 instead of 60-90.

CASEY: Rd 04 vs UWS Giants
Why can't they just roll-in some filler players and keep going during the state game week? It's mad that the AFL teams propping the competition up lose a week of player development for semi-professional State Of Origin.

Clarry Photo ‘21
For those who are interested the vom came with exactly 1.00 left in the half but Ben Brown kicked a goal afterwards so he is the official holder of the high watermark.

Clarry Photo ‘21
If ANB's vom came after Lever's goal that night it almost sits at the high watermark of modern MFC history. There were moments in 2023, but we've never come to looking as powerful since that first half against Brisbane. Now I feel like having a vom.

Disappointed it's not about that classic picture of him having a massive chunder that I won't post for taste reasons.

Kicking Inside 50
At least all the examples led to stoppages. Now show the ones where the ball flings down the other end at warp speed. PS I hope by watching this video I can help him buy some sort of TV unit to hide those cords.

Chris from Camberwell Where are you?
I recorded this call in 2017 when I thought how tragic it would be if he came and went without having his super helium voice captured for prosperity. At the time it didn't seem likely there'd eventually be a YouTube clip of him talking flag.

Recruiting - where did it all go wrong
People were ready to set the seats on fire when there was a suggestion of recruiting Taylor Walker last year. It didn't need to be him but it feels like any experienced, still-breathing key tall forward would help the rudderless fiasco we've got down there at the moment.

Goalkicking
Roll on Superleague Gymnastics when they have to do that with some anti-social drunks yelling at them over the fence.

Goalkicking
I still don't understand why McDonald couldn't get a run forward in the second half of last year (except the first Freo disaster when he kicked two goals) while Petty was absolutely dying down there. It likely wouldn't have saved the season but sending Petty down there every week when he obviously had zero confidence as a forward was madness.

PREGAME: Rd 04 vs Geelong
There's been plenty of bigger upsets than us winning this but my jaw will dislocate in shock if it happens.

Content to share with someone new to Australian football.
Highlights of big marks are always impressive. Later you turn into a horribly jaded cynic and realise that a Mark of the Year instantly turned over isn't worth as much as a chest mark followed by an effect disposal. Or maybe that's just me...

The AFL are treating us with contempt
On the topic of disrespect and contempt, this thread is near enough to host my biggest whinge about yesterday - Docklands shutting half of level three and (if you eventually found how to get to the open bits) cramming everyone in like battery hens. I'm not going to a Melbourne/North game to sit eight deep in the middle of an aisle with people clambering all me over day. I'll reluctantly cop the tightwad MCC shutting parts of level four when we play interstate teams but this was ridiculous. Docklands had done a lot right in recent years but this put me in a bad mood well before we unconditionally surrendered on-field.

van Rooyen and Turner to the backline?
Petty may have had the worst key forward season ever per games played last year so if he's the answer it's a terrifying question.

Melbourne FC App Issues
I had the same last week and on about the 15th attempt it logged me in. Bit tedious when you had to fill in your email address and password every bloody time. Potential option - Log into ticketmaster.com first on the same device then open the app and see if it picks up that you're already authorised.

Demon supporters are pathetic…
As long as we have long term financial security from other sources may every crowd be this size, even with the scab MCG closing two of the top levels. Justice for people who don't like being around other people.

Club Emblem
I would be interested in seeing it, because it doesn't seem right that we'd be doing any MFC branding in that era. More likely the MCC logo would be shown. There's something for the simplicity of just writing PREMIERS 1900 on the footy without any club branding. On a related note, it looks like a couple of these players have been added via the ancient equivalent of Photoshop.

Replacing Kozzie while suspended
Will be at least one more suspension during the year for that.
