Re: Three things I have learned-round 8 v Melbourne .
It would nice to have the feeling that the opposition aren't going to score everytime they kick to anyone other than Dale Morris's opponent.
I get that our mobile defence is a great asset, but being able to compete in the air is going to be vitally important against the better teams, especially if our midfiled doesn't dominant like they have been.Comment

I guess you can also include Adams to that list, and whilst he looks the goods he still has a long way to go.
Would like to see a bit more of Hamling this year so we can make a definitive call on him, seems to have the right tools (athletic, good mark), but isn't giving the MC what they want.. I've only seen a bit of Collins, his ability to get across the ground is a worry, but he is still a boy in footy terms (a bit a big one!)
Really don't think it's a priority to draft any more tall defenders, but if a ready made is available via trading or free agency then I think we should be testing the market.Comment

Re: Three things I have learned-round 8 v Melbourne .
I can't remember ever hearing any of our players being given a bronx cheer en mass like I've seen other clubs do.
Not all club cultures are the same - it's true.
Nathan Jones deserves a special award from the AFL for putting up with everything at that club.You don't develop courage by being happy in your relationships every day. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity. ― EpicurusComment

Yes, has been the number one ruckmen in the comp. If I was MFC I would not let that slide and go after the supporters with a similar ' be loud but fair' campaign. It's a disgrace. Personally, I could not match 1% of the effort required for elite AFL and I'm sure MFC are the same.You don't develop courage by being happy in your relationships every day.

Re: Three things I have learned-round 8 v Melbourne .
1. Melbourne supporters give up easily and too soon. The Bronx cheering started when they were about 5 goals down but with plenty of time to go, i.e., more than a quarter.
2. Melbourne supporters have no respect for their players. So, they're down by about 5 goals and don't think they can win. And Gawn, one of their stars and one of the most prominent rucks in the comp, played an average game. So they gave him the Bronx cheer over and over when he got a possession. It is one thing to be frustrated with one of your stars when he plays an average game but what they did was something else. It was as if he was some kind of slave, a piece of human cattle bought at an auction.
3. Melbourne supporters only turn up if they think they are odds on to win.Officially on the Bus-wagonComment
