Time to Decide

Featured Replies

we have too many in and unders! jmac,mclean, maloney, jones that is way too many. what we need is some speed and quality ball movement. You can really only take 1 or at most 2 in an unders and you need the speed to compliment, good example is the bombers, they have watson who feeds it out to the quality quicks. Hopefully strauss can be one of these types.

 
When you "explain" make sure you actually answer the question asked.

I dont care about other Clubs giving away players. I am asking why would GC chase MFC outcasts given MFC have more ordinary footballers because we are a truly bottom ranked club. These players are not good enough and most of these players futures belong in interstate, country or suburban leagues

If its the Herald Sun, then more fool you. Caveat emptor! If the Hun says that GC are only pinpointing players who kick it with pinpoint accuracy then why would they chase a player or players with poor disposal skills? Begs a questions doesn't it

This is stupid firstly we will just have to agree to disagree that if Rivers, Miller, Jones and Petterd where put on the trade table that a club especially the Gold Coast would at least have a look at them.

Secondly the paper never wrote that if you couldn't see the sarcasim in that especially when the next words were give me a break then god help you. If the Gold Coast were only going for players who can kick then they wouldn't be able to fill a side.

If the Gold Coast were only going for players who can kick then they wouldn't be able to fill a side.

Bing!!!

*Lightbulb goes on*

And thats why they wont trade youth they can train to be good AFL footballers rather than trade their youth for players that have proven shortcomings and in some cases limited or no upside.

Its that easy....At least I thought it was til...

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    ï»żA hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
