Like your optimism. I just feel really flat after last year. Only 6 teams since 1994 have gone on to play finals from 0 - 3.

May was picked up in October. Why wasn't he monitored over the break regarding his fitness and weight. It just goes to show how amateurish the AFL is, or is it just the MFC.

"Playing like a bunch of schoolboys" isn't in the media at the moment. If it was "priest caught playing with a bunch of schoolboys", i'm sure it would be top of Melbournes banner list.

Talk about spitting on a mans grave. What is the point of all of this? Because we play the other cheats tonight? Jimmy Bartel on the news tonight sounds like a little squealing brat. "It's match fixing. Blah Blah I'm no longer relevant, It's purely match fixing".

Smokey it's a great stance no doubt. My comment about players hardening up was a bit harsh. I just wish the club would concentrate on the year ahead and not get distracted on matters that they cannot solve.

Way to overreact, just like the AFL. I read and watch the news everyday. I know what's happening in the world. I enjoy football and the MFC to escape all this rubbish. I can't do that anymore because it's about pushing the current agenda down our throats.

Meh. Fully support Reach and the impact of cyber bullying. But Melbourne players should harden up. I don't pay money and time to have a social outing at the football. I come to see the team either win or put in.

You cant Sugarcoat that performance.

I can't argue your post. A lot of "What if" though.

Name them. It is possible that this club isn't good enough.

Very poor excuse.

Pies, Tiger's and Geelong played some poor rusty football this weekend. At least those clubs had a crack at the ball, unlike Melbourne.

MFC smashed by Jack Watts.

Que the "it's ok, it's only RD1" demonland brigade.

Why? May did nothing wrong. After years of being called soft and bruise free, we now have hard hitters and snipers to enjoy. It's a contact sport. I would rather Melbourne play on or above the line than below it.

As the MFC goes harder at the ball, this supporter site becomes softer. Some very cringe worthy posts here. The May hit was perfect.

Casey got another hit out before Rd1 for May?

As long as JKH never dons a melbourne Jumper, I will be happy.

Can Ticketek reimburse my family for the $$$ we lost not working today?

Good luck to everyone else on tickets but this 10+ years consecutive member is pretty much out. My partner took the day off work to get 2 seats with no luck. I raced home at lunch and missed an hours work. We can’t afford to do it all again tomorrow, so will miss out. It never ceases to amaze me how amateur the AFL is. We’ve all been waiting 12 years for this and just get spat on. So much money and time spent supporting a club only to go through this rubbish. I do understand not everyone can go to a finals game, but I didn’t even get a chance. So a big F..U.. to the AFL. Sell the tickets to those who have stuck around and bleed for the clubs you dirty money hungry pricks.

Hogan only 4 to 6.

That’s a bit of a myth.

Ch 9 news reporting Adelaide were into him. Wonder how many other clubs had interests. Oh well crows, thanks for Lever though.
