Gawn Hospitalised Days Prior to Round 1
Jesus, most people wouldn't go to their desk job after that, let alone play AFL in 32 degree heat while getting constantly smashed behind play. No wonder he could barely move. And no wonder we lost. His lack of influence in the ruck and around the ground had a massive impact on our midfield's ability to win clean ball. No Gawn no Melbourne. The fact that we chose to play him, and play him solo, says a lot more about Pruess than it does Gawn.

Gawn Hospitalised Days Prior to Round 1
If you are in hospital, your condition isnāt āmildā. If you are in hospital then play footy a few days, you are not 100% at your best.

Round 1 Crowd Prediction
Agreed. We parked 20 mins away and walked. Melbourneās public transport is borderline third world.

Changes vs Geelong Rd 2
Devastating if true. Poor guy canāt catch a break. Is it a return of the same injury or something new?

Round 1 Non MFC games
Well at least we arenāt the only disappointment of round 1. Brisbane will make the 8.

POSTGAME: Rd 1 vs Port Adelaide
I always feel so bad for young defenders. What a baptism of fire. He looked so overawed. And I mean why wouldnāt you be standing next to the defensive giants that are Frost and Omac. I think Oscar McDonald will be a good defender but he is also inexperienced and needs help. This is where Lewis is so valuable at half back. He ushers the troops. Our backline without Lever and May is horrible. Very few winners except Jetta. Hibbo looks to be on his last legs.

POSTGAME: Rd 1 vs Port Adelaide
Oliver and Brayshaw were very bad by their own standards. I can forgive the prelim game. We lost to the eventual premiers on their own turf. Today was just a disappointing day and lots of players barely went. Viney really didnāt deserve a game based on his fitness levels.

Changes vs Geelong Rd 2
In: May, Lewis (if fit) Out: Frost, Hore Dear god I cannot with Frost. He is legit the dumbest footballer I have ever seen. Must go. Did I hear correctly that KK is playing VFL this weekend? If so, Iād love to see him in the side.

POSTGAME: Rd 1 vs Port Adelaide
I didnāt think Goodwinās post match was arrogant at all. He said all credit to Port but letās not panic. What do you want him to say? The sky is falling, book your September holidays now?! We weāre arrogant either out there. We were slow. We spread like cold butter on frozen pizza. We lack pace, but when you lack pace and youāre also not winning enough of the loose ball and enough clean clearances, you look even slower. Lots of guys looked severely underdone. The heat didnāt help either. I canāt remember a game when Gawn, Oliver, Viney, Brayshaw, TMac, Hibbo and Jetta all had absolute stinkers together. It was just a really bad day. I hope they are all better for the run and we get May next week, which means no Frost and suddenly our overall teamās IQ quatriples.

PREGAME: Rd 01 vs Port Adelaide
As the game gets closer, I get less and less confident. We have a few underdone players and I worry about their forwardline. The mids will win it as always. On paper our midfield looks a class above theirs, but this is Melbourne. We could equally win or lose by 100 points. Feels like this new season has crept up on us very quickly. Must be because we actually played past August last year.

Farewell Jesse Hogan
The worst thing someone struggling with mental health issues can do, is mix up with the wrong crowd. It sounds like his āmatesā that he so desperately wanted to get back to, are the wrong crowd. Mix that with a footy club that has a poor culture and a failed history of handling troubled players badly, and you have a recipe for disaster.

PREGAME: Rd 01 vs Port Adelaide
Our backline is not filling me with confidence. I suppose we won 2 finals with a similar lineup. But May getting himself suspended is really going to hurt on Saturday. A few underdone players too Not confident as I was hoping to be, but maybe just MFCSS kicking in on the eve of a new season

PREGAME: Rd 01 vs Port Adelaide
F right off! Poor Vanders he really canāt take a trick. I love what he brings to the side so not a good start to our season really. Not to mention our stupid stupid stupid call to let Joel Smith to play out an irrelevant practice game and injure himself. Seriously dumb!
