Wash your mouth out.

"If you can't kick, you don't play"
Collingwood have Pendlebury and Sidebottom in the middle who's disposal is elite. They've often been the difference in our games.

Finals Week 1
Reminds me of a few posters around here.

"If you can't kick, you don't play"
If you're working hard into space and your teammates are continually butchering the delivery it makes it tough to keep running with confidence that they'll actually reward your effort with a decent disposal. Double edged sword.

Agree Deecisive. Butchers mostly including Salem. May is a pretty good kick I thought, see how he goes with a proper pre-season.

Jones should relinquish captaincy now - Tex did.
Yeah, weighed up whether another club would take him, whether he could be bothered going to GC. And whether he could hit the NZ slopes with his family on a measly 300k. That's perspective.

Is there anything more Melbourne ...
I've always said the captain was. Now it's been confirmed.

Yep ... That's me at Grand Final day parties.

Dees interested in Roughead
Pfft .... Ancient history those flags. I'd argue they don't count since we went from VFL to AFL.

I never said he should go to the saints. It's a strange decision. Both clubs are basket cases.

Dees interested in Roughead
That's a debatable subject.
-

The club yes. We've got a long list of destroyed careers. Both coaching and playing. Truth hurts.

Would've been a shame to wreck his career after footy. Poisoned chalice this joint.

EJ Whitten Legends Game 2019
Went to rubbish as soon as they started letting C & D grade "celebrities and comedians" have a run around.

Damien Barrett's scathing assessment of the MFC
Most of the problems stem regardless to who was on the ground was our inability to execute basic skills. This has been an issue for longer that just this year and won't be magically fixed during the off season.

Adem Yze - Assistant Coach?
Yeah I was gutted too. Was sure we were headed for the prelim at 3/4 time as we looked unstoppable. I remember an interview with Trapper Johnson after the match. Never have you seen a bloke more pleased after losing a final. He'd played a blinder for 2qrs and stated he had nothing left in the last ...... Typical.
-
Adem Yze - Assistant Coach?
Hearing you man. The 2nd and 3rd qrs was some of the best football I've seen us play. The 1st and last were garbage. That game was typical MFC in a nutshell.

Adem Yze - Assistant Coach?
This 1 sticks with me at 14:10 from the boundary during a rampaging comeback during the 2002 semi final. Had me redlining bigtime.

Damien Barrett's scathing assessment of the MFC
Barrett comes out with these half arzed cryptic statements and tries to make a story from nothing hoping every-one makes up their own dots to fill in. He's a folg.

It's the wingmen, stupid!
Yes it would have been a risk but it was around the same time that Pederson had his nose spread over his face late by Merrett and not 1 Melbourne player remonstrated. I knew a bloke like Robinson wouldn't have stood for that. And I've watched us get physically beaten up for as long as I remember so probably would have taken him over Jeffy for that reason alone. But anyhow ..... He certainly has exceeded what i thought he would have produced football wise though. The move up north was obviously the wake up call he needed.
-
It's the wingmen, stupid!
Well there you go. Seems Robinson might be more intelligent than he looks. And for the record .... I would've taken him when Carlton unloaded. Has the c#*t in him that we needed.
-
"Nothing to see here"...or not
I can't believe they went with the headline earlier in the year on the eve of the Essendon game "Footy's biggest cover up" and then it was about us tanking. Not the "Darkest day in sport" being Essendons drug cheating cover-up. Not only is the AFL corrupt but 'Slobbo' Robinson the Herald sun chief football writer and Essendon supporter is too.
