  1. Phew! We did what good teams do, toughed it out in the last and won ugly. Our Captain lifted, and we did much better in the clearances during the final term. Been overseas for weeks and I am looking forward to getting to a game next week. Go Dee's
  2. Please don't let them run over the top of us AGAIN!!! So many need to lift.
  3. Because the club managed to go into free fall and almost reached terminal velocity.
  4. Нет! Я не могу поверить , что это обсуждается . Шутки в сторону . ?
  5. Be bitterly dissapointed but not surprised.
  6. Had to turn the tv off as soon as it was over. I am so over listening to the commentators basically saying, Melbounre played well but they did what we always knew they would do, LOSE. Thought I would get thrown out of my hotel room account noise and language. Bring on next week.
  7. How the hell did we manage to lose that!!! Beyond belief. Losing with so many inside fifties, only Melbourne. TMac's howlers. Wagner has one every game, Inaccurate kicking for goal. You can blame the umpires but we lost it. I thought Brayshaw had a terrible game as well. Vince playing on and slipping over in the dying minutes when we still had time to win it. My biggest problem this season is I have hope. I really hope we can win one of these soon. However there was some great football. The effort was immense. It's how we need to play every week with swarming and tackling. Watts's smother in the last quarter was super courageous. We have the makings of a finals playing team. If T Mac thinks he is worth a bundle of money he should be made to watch his howlers this game with his eyes taped open for a day. Hogan, well sign up now, your best is great but not a game winner yet. Forgot you were play at times. Just so dissapointed. Time to repay the loyal supporters 2017.
  8. Oh dear! I left out 1987. What an amazing year for everyone MFC that was.
  9. He was always an extremely nice, humble person. Even in primary school you knew he would become a footballer. His skills even then we're amazing, jumping over packs, he was so quick and talented even when he was boy, I would always try to be at the other end during kick to kick as you had no chance of getting the ball otherwise. We were Murrumbeena boys, just aquantances, not close. Amazingly when he became the number one ticket holder, and I said what I said to him on the day, he remembered me and then made the chat about me, introducing me to Tom who I remembered from our Murrumbeena days. Robbie was a true champion on and off the field. I was going to write about him when he passed, but found it to difficult at the time. It's still hard now because to me, he was part of the MFC's fabric. Melbourne his entire life, and loyal always. That he and Jimmy are not here to see our upward progression is so unfair. Oh well.....?
  10. 1. Robbie Flower saying to me in primary school to wear our Melbourne jumpers to school the next day in 1964, the week before the GF. 2. Being at said GF. (thanks mum) 3. Proudly telling my mother that a skinny kid with glasses in his first senior game would become a club champion. (Her reaction at the time was a highlight in itself ?) 4. My mother saying to me the only reason she endured the late 70s and 80s watching the Demons was to watch Robbie play. (she went every week for over 40 years, she is 90 now and still a member and watches on Foxtel ) 5. 2000 elimination final come back against Carlton, my sister was worried I would have a heart attack. 6. Telling Robert Flower on the day he became the number one ticket holder, that no one deserved it more than him. (He took it over from RDB) 7. Having hope restored in that I can go to a game and we have a chance of winning.
  11. Did the Magpie medicos go to the Collingwood rooms after the game to help treat the frostbite and "bloodshed"? ?
  12. I am not sure Neale would have cared. Melbourne won, and he was surrounded by "family"
  13. So underrated it's beyond belief. More important yes. No he has not re-signed to the best of my knowledge and is a free agent I believe. Let's get it done ASAP.
  14. Re-sign Jetta ASAP. Forget finals. I never thought it was a realistic expectation, but cetatinly it gave/gives the players something to aim for. We have improved but, if you cannot beat teams above/ahead of us then the improvemen is incremental. Which is how the season is now heading for us. We need to again get time into the young ones BUT also see who will stand up in games like this. Way way to many passengers again against a team we don't match up well against. Diamond defence is cubic zirconia. Let's get a plan B at worst. I never expected a win but hoping for a better performance. Back to the pool here in Bali (Also posted in game day) Options Options

  16. My Uranus Titaned when i saw this match at the release of the 2016 fixture. Because we got 8K to the GWS game last year I believe we were given a game against another Victorian club to get bums on seats to avoid another embarrassing attendance for us and the AFL at our forced "home game" at the dung heap. Not at all help by the fact that it is the Saints home ground, go figure. Thought it would be fairer to play another Victorian non Etihad resident team. Such is life.
  17. Yes true. Just joking, but I am sure Eddie thought the Pies were " stiff" to lose...
  18. Watching us beat the Pies at our ground and listening to Eddie cry on the Foxtel replay gives a guy the same result as watching Porn.
  19. He showed he is far from the first to be de-listed at seasons end. Serviceable player
  20. Could you please go and give most of the team a damn good one.
  21. Hawks have monstered us physically and mentally for a decade now. I expected a bad loss account injuries and a complete lack of depth, but 60 points not 105. Bellwether team for us. When we are (if ever) competitive against them, we will have turned the corner. Seems ironic after the failed merger. Please delist: M Jones, Bail, and Spencer. With a few exceptions: T Mac, Garlett and Pedersen. Could the senior players show some heart or........
  22. I think we have a lot more than just Angus. Bodes well for the future. Went to the game and had the best time at the footy in years.
  23. It stopped at 14:00 today account lack of interest.
