  1. Did the Magpie medicos go to the Collingwood rooms after the game to help treat the frostbite and "bloodshed"? ?
  2. I am not sure Neale would have cared. Melbourne won, and he was surrounded by "family"
  3. 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.
  4. 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

  6. 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.
  7. Yes true. Just joking, but I am sure Eddie thought the Pies were " stiff" to lose...
  8. 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.
  9. He showed he is far from the first to be de-listed at seasons end. Serviceable player
  10. Could you please go and give most of the team a damn good one.
  11. Terrible team effort
  12. 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........
  13. 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.
  14. It stopped at 14:00 today account lack of interest.
  15. Proud,Passionate and Fed Up.
  16. Yes your right thanks. Cloke did an awesome job pushing up his price
  17. I have always felt very uncomfortable with FA. It's a killer for the poorer clubs and will remain so in its current format. His contract was front ended I believe and this may affect the compensation we would receive for him.Your a fan of his from my readings here. Trust me I hope he stays. He is a good footballer for us. He will be a very good footballer in a very good team. AFL is about team and ours has be so bad for so long. For me our biggest asset is also a liability in that we have one of the best coaches you could possible get in Roos. I just wish all this 2 years 3 years then a successor will resolve itself soon. 5 years plus sounds good to me. I think Frawleys kicking is average. Many here question his decision making, but some of that is about what other team mates should be but are not doing off the ball at times. He plays his best football in defence, no brainer there.
  18. How many unrestricted free agents that have said: I will leave my decision if I stay or go till seasons end.Tthen re-signed with that club? None that I can think off. I am 99% sure he is gone at seasons end, same as all the others who have played this "waiting game" I hope he stays. We have become a FA feeder club in recent times for obvious reasons. Now it's time for it to stop. We are on the improve and good loyal players like Dunn are showing the way. If he goes I hope we get decent compensation or I will be [censored]. End of rant.
  19. I usually read Demonland but rarely post here because i do not want to get embroiled in the constant bickering that goes on. However... This post from Redleg would have to be one of the most moving and heartfelt statements i have read in a long while, well said sir. People please consider the ONE THING that all true Melbourne Football Club supporters/posters on here have in common, the love of, and the desire for success for our football club. My mother turned 87 this year and she no longer goes to the football as she feels she is too old to go anymore, she is still a Trident member however, and mum and my brother are fifty year members of the club, i feel sad for mum because she now believes that she will not live to see her club win another premiership, this saddens me no end, but i am certain she is far from being alone in these sentiments. Sure it's only a game but we all love it or we would not read, or post on here, go to nearly every game played in Melbourne, or pay memberships for 50 years to a club that has had little success in nearly five decades, as my family members have, and again many of you here i'm sure. For me, someone in my mid 50s, and i am sure many others who read and post here, i have a bucket list. I am fortunate that most of the things on that list are ticked off, but the one that i feel i have the least control over is that next premiership for the team i/we love. Do i think Don McLardy and his board would feel any different than myself? i am sure you all know in your hearts the answer to that question. Do i think that the board has done a good job? certainly not. But i believe Don and others would have been asked by Jim to do their best for the club and stay the course, so Jim's children could grow up and support the club that their father was a champion player and club President. While i am sure Don did not want to...how could you say no? What a sad, unique position to be in... Sure this is no excuse for the poor governance, but no doubt they were all trying their best in their voluntary capacities. Yes the board could resign, and anyone who has had a position on the board of management of a voluntary organisation knows this is the easy option. it certainly can be voted out and it may well be, who knows at this point in time, i believe the board will change of it's own volition, no more knee jerk reactions this time, as this is probably the last chance to try and get it right for the future of the club, i believe the directors know it. Might even have been told it by the AFL. In the very near future i believe Geoff Freeman will take over as President of the club and some of the board members will change, no i have zero inside information on the subject for those who think i might, but it just makes sense to me that this will occur and soon. Does anyone here think that this guy does not know he is taking one a mountain of a task if and when he does? sure heaps of corporate high flyers have big egos and that might be a reason to take on the Presidency of an AFL club, there is also no doubting that it could hurt your credibility also, not lost on him or Don i am sure. Do i think Don knows it's time to vacate the position? I certainly do. Yes there is a chance that Jeff Kennett will stand for the position as President of the MELBOURNE Football Club, but look no further than Alastair Clarkson and ask him his thoughts as to whether he thinks that would be a good idea for the future of the MFC or not. Sure you can have a different opinion than mine, that's the good thing about democracy. In closing my fingers are crossed for the future of our club. that, with help from the AFL, this time, most likely the last time, the people who are charged with the running of the club will get things right! and take the club forward to that next flag that we all so wish for. That the coaches will work to the best of their ability, to get the best results from the playing group now and in the future. And especially to ALL our players please put your heads down and do your utmost to play in a successful Melbourne Football Team. So you can hold your heads high and say i have done the best i can do when representing their/our team, the oldest team in the competition, and when they win they can be proud to sing the grand old flag, long, loud and OFTEN! Anyway that's my say. Cheers.
  20. Geoff Freeman will, i hope be our next President. Not a self serving, headline grabbing, egotistical [censored]. Kennett would fracture the club even more than it is now. God help us...
  21. I have missed a few home games this year, the effort of the players is the worst i can remember, until then i had been going every week for as long as i can remember. i will be there Monday but my enthusiasium is at an all time low, lets hope we see some real effort.
  22. Great read Number 31 for young Viney please! so every time he tackles $cully to the ground (with great force ) afterwards when young $cully looks up from the turf at the great #31 he will be seeing stars Red and Blue...
  23. 6: Jones 5: Jamar 4: McKenzie 3: Magner 2: Bartram 1: T. MCDonald Great effort from the boys, great to see Grimes and Davey hit some form. Let's keep it going boys
  24. How many "players" that ran around like headless chooks will be in the starting 22 in 3 years? Not many i believe, a Richmond supporter said we have a good list, i replied that it is a myth...
