Every time Franklin gets the ball and Tambling does not!

Franklin is a helluva pick 5 was it? If only we had a down year in 2005 and followed the odds and evens pattern........was it the 2005 NAB draft he was drafted?

2004.

The top 7 in 2004 really give the Top 7 2003 are run for their money.

2004 2003

Deledio Cooney

Roughhead Walker

Griffen Sylvia

Tambling Ray

Franklin McLean

Williams Bradley

Lewis Tenace

I would have gone top 8 but Adelaide took Meesen at No 8 in 2004 *COUGH*

Franklin was always viewed as good talent but was sense as a loose cannon off the ground. He could still go pear shaped off the ground. If he had a more mature disposition, he would have gone higher/earlier in the draft.

They talk about and focus on the simple winning and losing situation and ladder positions. They are more focussed on footy scores.

I will put it simply......

1. Kids prefer to go to the footy and support and be interested in a team that is winning rather than losing.

Oh revered one.. these are your words arent they ??? What is there to misunderstand about what you are saying ??

I dont need to put words in your mouth or miscontrue...you are adept at it all by yourself !!

So again..your wisdom is kids are all about winning. Many of us diasgree. ;)

Its pity you are not disagreeing with me as I did not say that and my quoted comments dont infer that at all. But thanks for confirming what I thought was the problem with your misrepresentation. Clearly not a one off

2004 stands head and shoulders above 2003 draft IMO. Thanks for the answer too. Cooney and McLean are the best of the 7 picks IMO out of 2003.

Its not my misrepreseantation. Im simply restating YOUR OWN WORDS.. So please tell me how that can be.

You have a nice knack of grandiosing until someone happens to have a different view. Different views are fine. It is after all what make for discussion. However im sure Im not the only one to notice you are happy to duck and weave when it suits you..

Why..do yo not agree with , again ..you own words. They were hardly out of context..as I left them complete.

And I am disagreeing with you..but again you ability to grasp some of the simpler nuances is lost..Not to some of us though.

Now so we all understand exactly what you mean ( in case you dont ) . Your stance is that kids will inexorably be guided in ther followings by winnng as opposed to losing ? My stance is there are far more issues and that a keen alliance can be formed by association with people ( players ) that transcends the simple win/lose outlook.

No when you stated that "your wisdom is kids are all about winning" that is not my point. I stated kids prefer and you quoted that but sought to misstate that. Unbelievable.

My stance is there are far more issues and that a keen alliance can be formed by association with people ( players ) that transcends the simple win/lose outlook.

Again its just a preference not an absolute. So give it up. I agree there are more issues. But the keen alliance you glorify takes considerable time to develop for young people when its outside their close family unit. And I dont see that level being achieved with league players specially on the basis of cameo contact that there is at the moment at local junior clubs and Auskick clinic. Its just not as prevalent as the impact of the preference for supporting a winning side.

And when you speak of "we" and "us" you are only represent yourself or are you hearing voices again? :blink:

My final position on this....you seem to enjoy the interchangability to suit your own views come preference and absolutes.

You continue with concept ( as example ) of cameos ..and thats never been the profered view..only yours.

Its somewhat redundant sayng things will take time..what doesnt.

Again..well just have to disagree

I think a lot of what has been said is pretty redundant.

If the only thing that attracts kids is winning, then tell the MFC to win....

We should really be coming up with ideas of how to get kids more involved with the club, and how to get them to enjoy the experience of barracking for the club.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
