Well Done Christian Petracca
I suppose a Brownlow win is out if the question, and it would make the MFC year finish on a nice note. that and a great pickup in the draft.

Jack Watts Retires
Good Luck Jack, we treated your poorly, perhaps you did not have an overly aggressive style, or a bit of both. But I will never forget that goal, made me feel great, and that makes you great, in my eyes. Come and watch footy at the G, most true Melbourne supporters will welcome you. I will.

OUR SEASON
I know he is a bit small, but he gets to where the ball is ! Far more than some of ours. involved in a lot more passages of play than some watchers on this site are prepared to give him any credit for.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARLEY BENNELL
Bulldogs will not lose, and he has not been picked for months. His season is over, why be so judgmental. Just another little disappointing thing this year. Judge the players or selectors from our losing games with the same amount of discipline.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - HARLEY BENNELL
I would give him a break. Until it’s all finished for 2020. We do not know all details. Too many here too willing to throw a talent away. It’s the end of the year for him. Give him any benefit to be had. Some far to quick to judge. Thats not to say he is innocent or guilty, just give it a break.

Membership Renewal emails from the club...
I have a Country membership, so not a lot of money involved, no seat guarantee and no finals guarantee either. 2020 was a donation, I understand that, but I will not be renewing, until I know what games I can see in person or on my big screen. And what the timetable etc. is for 2021. Perhaps a big win today might help but I doubt it. The two games we lost recently, we just should not have lost. Extremely poor management somewhere. Good Luck to us today, Fuchias or the Demons ? I have no idea.

CHANGES: Rd 18 vs Essendon
I have absolutely no idea whether Goodwin can coach at training or is a nice guy or an [censored] hole. But I do know that watching the Demons play I get mightily upset, and I pay membership for that privilege . I just hope that Goodwin gets involved with the Demons, and shows some of that emotional involvement, During the play on game day. And that its not "just" a job someone gave him a long contract to do, without any guarantee of success. Can some one tell me who will turn up to play this week Fuchia's Or DEMONS !!

Mumford Fined For Punching Gawn
In the Kossy run from half back, when vanders passed to Kossy, VDB then stepped between a running Mumford and Kossy, Mumford gave up the chase, was never going to catch him in any case. Then the Kossy hand pass to Weid then to Spargo for the goal I think. From the vanders hand ball the pressure was gone once Mumford conceded. But Kossy speed had them undone anyway.

POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Fremantle
I watched on a very small screen. I understand that we lost and many here are critical of the players. Well I must say I don't think it was their problem, It was wet and we picked the wrong style of play for the night. The failure was from the Coaching side, the Selectors, the Football Department and anyone who did not think to look at the weather report in the paper or on your phone. We all have the rain radar app ! and the weather apps !! And picking 7 changes, no wonder we played average football. They should have been rotated a few games ago, not all at once. Its not whether they are AFL or VFL standard, they are what we have. But the management of these players and the older guys like Jones and Jetta, and even TMac, its abysmal. The strategy and direction of this group or who ever is charged with doing that work is where the problem lies. We have the talent we have the fitness, We don't have the FOOTBALL SMARTS, I guess that's where or what the learnings are. Need a freshen up for next couple of weeks. Any way not as upset as last week, but we still left the intensity and effort, FAR TOO LATE.
