H_T 3,049 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Prepare for the pain on 28th April. The only concern I have is the performances and progress of those in my team, old dee. I couldn't care less how former MFC players go at opposition clubs. Just like I couldn't care for Travis Johnstone and other former players who have had little influence after leaving and only seemed to perform when it suited them, not necessarily when required or on a consistent basis. There is however one exception. Scott Thompson still burns. 1 Quote

old dee 24,083 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 ....and wells, alves, healy? Who could blame them dc. The first two got to play in GF's something they would never had done at the MFC at the time. They were also in the twilight of there career's. They had given the MFC great service. Quote

old dee 24,083 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 stuart spencer, donny williams? Gee dc you are getting back a bit and they did not go to VFL clubs and in the case of DW he came back and played in the 64 flag. Hell that seems a long time ago even when I say it. Quote
H_T 3,049 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 the wizard didn't? Thompson to me is considered utterly consistent in terms of output. He doesn't perform when it suits him, he performs when required dc. That was the point I was making. The Wiz was good, every now and then. Thompson to me is a more valuable player. Quote
old dee 24,083 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 darren jolly? who that bum that could not get a lick and lucked into two flags at Sydney and Collingwood. Hardly worth mentioning. Quote

Older demon 2,815 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Re Beamer & Martin and even Gysberts I care because they were all victims of coach Neeld. We have all forgotten how he sacked the old leadership group including Rivers at the start last year and cleaned out the club so he could get his players in and play his style of football. We all have short memories of his arrogant uncompromising attitude and angry manner (just ask players and staff around the club). There are 7 former players deemed good enough to get a game at other clubs that is an extraordinary number Well now part of his assessment this year will be the performance of the team he has built as well as the players he discarded. Our ruck stocks are thin and I certainly didn't agree with giving Martin away. It is only February but he will be judged this year and remember how we all couldn't believe how the team could go from 8 and a half wins in 2011 and hope for improvement that led to a bottom 4 spot in 2012.

They were also in the twilight of there career's. They had given the MFC great service. Ironically, if Healy had stayed he would have played in a grand final (and to be technical, Wells and Alves both got premierships, not just GFs). Wasn't Healy in the opposition team when we beat the Swans by about 80 points in the semi-final in '87? Quote

Redleg 42,156 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 Looks like the GWS have signed up at least half their list to extended contracts. Don't think the other clubs are going to be able to raid them as easily as they thought. Quote
