Greg Stafford departs Melbourne
A long time servant in our recent 🏆 era. Many thanks. New opportunities for some fresh idea and our next 🏆 era.

Port Adelaide Chasing Kozzy Again
And I thought that he was seeking a trade to Marble Bar 🙄

How typically Melbourne Brodie Grundy
I agree that he was a really weird choice as sub, and this season has confirmed that he was not a half sensible trade in to say the least*, but in that last quarter TMc was quite lame ( not a criticism of Tom by the way) and Schache was as fresh as he ever would be. I believe he can run, so running off the concussed but not subbed (CFC are such a privileged shonky mob) could not have been a worse option. Poor coaching in my inexpert view - akin to the Stan Alves leaving Shannahan one on one on Jarman back last century in a GF that got away. * remind me please of the details of the trade. Who out and who in, what draft numbers etc. Thanks.

Recently seen at Marble Bar
OMG. MFCSS kicks in. Kozzie has asked for a trade to Marble Bar. The club is cracking apart.

TRAINING: Monday 19th August 2024
djr - now Tim Morris Minor will be saying “Judd off to West Coast” leak?? Now my MFCSS has recurred. Hope you meant “unfounded rumours “. Why not use a nickname like “Filthy Luker”? It is Claz who is ginger, along with Bowie.

Premiership Hero Ben Brown Retires
Interesting that he isn’t being used to help teach our forwards proper leading patterns. Could he, were he interested, make the perfect replacement forward coach for Stafford? Seems very well liked, and respected.

My 3 word player analysis V Gold Coast
Kolt (and Windsor) have had only one preseason. Imagine what they may be able to achieve after two, or three.

Premiership Hero Ben Brown Retires
Sadly, NO

The Kalani White Thread
Could he just possibly, maybe, the forward / ruck that we have been hoping for forever? Of course all subject to (a) him wanting to come to Melbourne and (b) the bloody AFL not making a one off change to screw us once again. (Mac Andrew would have been an important option for us, though we wouldn't have got JVR I guess ) PS I always wondered, but never saw, if Jeff could have been a CHF for us.

NON-MFC: Round 23
Only if JT can call the trade and not Lamb 🤔

NON-MFC: Round 23
Michael Christian, not the sharpest tool in the shed, will see the jumper and call it a football act.

NON-MFC: Round 23
Not even a free for a shirtfront. Mr Christian???

My 3 word player analysis V Gold Coast
I would say Tholstrup - learning pretty fast For once it didn't cost us a game though. I am sure there are stats somewhere that show how many calls have gone for and against certain teams. Cost us the final v Carlton and other games I cannot specify.

NON-MFC: Round 23
I could see any of the top 8 winning it actually, Steven Bradbury style. Which makes our injury destroyed season all the more sad.
-
NON-MFC: Round 23
Have they actually beaten any team that was in the top 8 any time this season???
-
NON-MFC: Round 23
Just turned it on - about 4 minutes to go in Q3 how good was it to see the absolutely manic movement in the Sydney deep forward line as one of their players had a mark on about 50. No gathering in a Demonic style pack, and no congestion. Any chance at all that any of our players and or coaches had a look and saw that it is a far better option than ou "kick it long to pack"?
