WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - STEVEN MAY
Yes. You are missing the corruption and ineptitude of the MRP MRO position: could not not suspend him but absolutely zero doubt had a Demon done the deed it would have been "inexcusable, dangerous- 3-4 weeks", but a franchise precious, despite having a poor record, gets a soft penalty.

Changes v Gold Coast Suns
[re May's late high hit] Should get three given his record, but using the Walker precedent of one week (as Adelaide were playing Demons in two) May will get a fine (as Suns are playing Demons in one).

Tex and Jenkins, softest big men in the game
I must say that prior to last year's finals I thought that Tex was pretty good as a player and a leader, but 1. his GF "performance" (if one could call it that), and; 2. his hypocritical carry on over Lever (after getting Gibbs in very similar circumstances, acknowledging age differences), I changed my mind. He is a sook as a leader and a soft KPP forward.

Changes v Gold Coast Suns
As I recall Gil played Amateur football VAFA : the feeder competition, VFL, being allowed to continually have multiple byes in a season is one more example of a professional grade competition being run by amateurs. Good call DOF VandenBerg has a huge upside and maybe it is time to roll the dice and see what he can give us. I am 100% certain he will give his all.

Dees give up Booze
I remember that. Wasn’t he referred to as “water boy”? All part of the focus that turned a good ordinary player into a champion.

ROUND 19 - Non MFC games
It was certainly innovative and spectacular, but technically it was a throw. Hear here. It is our next big challenge. We are capable of matching it with the best, but are not ruthless.

My 3 word player analysis V The Crows
Crows were throwing it quite a bit in Q4 (all I have seen so far) but only two were paid, against Jones who failed to control a slippery bar of soap, andFrost who I must say I thought handballed it.

ROUND 19 - Non MFC games
Gill and his henchmen just will not allow that to happen. I agree totally that the Bernie / Danger thing was ridiculously overblown by the press*, but surely it is OK (even good) to have a laugh when you chalk up a somewhat unexpected and emphatic win. * one of the great traditions that remains in our game despite administrators trying to stuff it up completely through incompetence or ego, is that players usually can mix after the game.

ROUND 19 - Non MFC games
Certainly if we can keep on winning anything is possible. We had our fate in our hands last year and fluffed it: the players keep on about being gutted, so they had better bloody well show it for the next 2 ½ months !

ROUND 19 - Non MFC games
Should go for two for that, but Merrett should get one for the staging from the one at first bounce.
