How they wish they had picked Franklin instead of Tambling.

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.

    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.

    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

  • Quote

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
