Mega Thread General MFC Discussion Part III

His uncle was an absolute freak. Saw him kick 12 straight years ago when he played for Ardmona. The Yze's were ridiculous at all sports they played up here in Shepp.

The bush cats have barely kicked 12 between them since he left. Didn't know there was a shepp poster on here [emoji106]

Would be a pretty fun finals series, but imagine this...

We finish third, and have to travel to face Port Adelaide in a qualifying final after they smacked us at Adelaide Oval earlier in the year. Against all odds we win one on the road. Meanwhile, the first placed Doggies go down to fourth placed Richmond.

It's prelim week. Melbourne v Bulldogs, Richmond v Port. Both the home sides win and set up a Dees v Tigers GF.

Or, option B:

- we lose a home prelim against Port; and then
- we lose a home semifinal against Fremantle; and then
- we crash out and finish 17th in 2022.

They won't beat port over at Adelaide oval

I would much prefer the game to have us at 10-0 and the Bulldogs at 6-4 tbh

Would be even better if Treloar had a shot after the siren to win the game and missed, then they interview him and he breaks down because Collingwood didn't want him

I'm surprised they didn't do a piece on Treloar this week comparing his bravery to the Anzacs.

That would be incredible television

Could have had him jumping the trenches and avoiding mean words all the way across to the other side. Buckley the British general who ignores the phone calls to stop him.

Eek this feels so unMelbourne.

 

[Russian Demon]

Well this makes my Alice travels plans a bit harder... why nit the Saturday, AFL!!!!

 

[Blackas87]

Great to get a couple of Friday nights but I really enjoy watching the Alice Springs game during daytime.

 

[LeverPuller]

Friday night in the Alice with the tree! Wow.

Huge.

 

[Hotdees]

Love the Friday nights , the only concern is the consecutive 6 day breaks heading into round 11. ****ed us in 2017 when he had a similar run and picked up a heap of injuries. After last year though it hopefully won’t be an issue.

 

[Bluelegs]

Good reward for good form. Look to be two ripper games as well. Would love a Friday night match at the MCG at some point during the season too.

6 day breaks are seriously overblown imo.

Every time BT mentions the tree, you have to finish your drink.

Imagine the Emergency wards across Melbourne...

Yeah agree, or failing that, give us a button that just lets us hear crowd noises.

I mean Dwayne said during the Casey game that Chandler was fighting for a spot in the mid season draft...

lol idiots

Still not as bad as the self indulgent w***er VT though

 

[Crimson Azure]

Worst undefeated team in 2021.

 

[Ando727]

Only have to roll North to be sitting undefeated on top of the ladder. Didn't think I'd be saying that.....



....ever in my life.

Inspired by something I read on the stats board, I'm trying to think of players who have moved between Melbourne and other clubs during the past 30 years or so. This is all pretty much off the top of my head, so I'm sure I've missed a lot of obvious ones. Feel free to add:

PA -> Melb: B.Pickett
Rich -> Melb: ???
St.K -> Melb: ???

Yeah definitely a few obvious ones. Off the top of Mt head
Bernie Vince, Peter vardy but Clint bizzle is a huge one imo, also Jordan Lewis and Robbie Campbell but I don't think he played a game.

 

[Dory_77]

Mitch Clark came to us from Brisbane and went to Geelong.
Bennell and Morton played a few games for WC after us too. Morton was a trade but think Bennell was a PSD pick (or DFA).
Moloney originally came to us from Geelong.
