Yeah, Dr WTF... I think a few of us "old people" might take issue with that rather ill considered remark!

Sadly the truth. But such is life.

Well then those "old people" better have a change of attitude soon. Especially inside a PUBLIC forum.

...not necessarily. I know a few people who are really happy to have got out of Geelong (though most still support the Cats).

Yeah, but he's coming from Adelaide remember...

Plus he has a lot of family and friends in Geelong.

Who am I kidding?

At the same age I was desperate to leave.

offer him $1m per season. He's an absolute gun. 22 years old. hard midfielder with elite pace and skill and can kick goals. We're not paying anyone else, why not use our free cash on a young gun. Also pay-back for Scott Thompson.

offer adelaid 2 priority picks.

Add Viney + Dangerfield to our midfield next year would make an instant impact.

This midfield actually resembles a decent looking midfield: Trengove, Viney, Dangerfield, Moloney, Sylvia, McKenzie, Magner, Jones and Gysberts.

If that's what it's gonna cost, I'd rather keep the picks.

whats the deal with our team lineup always looking like it has a lop sided wing.

even the official team always looks like this with a tough not so tall player on one side and a skinny tall on the other?

WTF

He's like a troll in drag, isn't he?

It would be great to get this guy but what do you give up? our first compo pick likly to be 3-5, our second compo pick plus a player lets go with Tapscott, for me an ideal trade would be second Compo pick Col Sylvia for Dangerfield and a second round pick.

Yes, and you best remember that a public forum is a place where people are entitled to express their views with relative impunity. I would hazard a guess and say that most of us are paid up card carrying members of the MFC and are as such entitled to express a view if we believe a player is not performing. I tend to avoid criticising individual players, but I can see why some might every now and then.

Ye because we've got such a great history of turning first round picks into stars.

Dangerfield has the toughest years of development behind him in a club that takes development very seriously.

He's an up-n-coming star, ready to take on the competition. Picks 5 and 12 are speculative, might turn into duds (especially knowing our record of first round picks) and even if they become stars will take 4-5 years before that happens.

I'd spent pick 5 and 12 in a heartbeat on a dangerfield- a player who's dynamic and tough and fast and exactly what we need

Go ahead as you wish - not that I agree with you. But you do as you must. Whatever makes you feel better.

PS I for 1 believe thats why we pay our Footy Department to do the talking behind closed doors. They are professional football people that understand the modern game. Who IMHO are doing at brilliant job at the MFC today.

I don't think we've given many of our kids enough time, due to our dire needs.

But I'd agree with you to an extent, while also pointing out that I think we've clearly made the additions to the football dept to rectify just this problem.

And it already seems to be paying dividends.

You would, I wouldn't.

I'm confident we can get 2 such types with those very picks.

100% agree with this. Onya bike sunshine!

You are right about 1 thing we do represent "sunshine" - "kids" love sunshine compared to your "darkness" - "kids" love positive feed back compared to constant Negativity - "kids" love playing with their mates in-front of big overenthusiastic crowds - "kids" in 2012 hold the power in AFL football 2012.

Some clubs have recognised this some clubs the "culture" is stuck in another era.

PS "kids" love the Internet - oh and they can read just FYI - but you go ahead and get rid of your ray of sunshine. Sorry we choose to speak a different language to our "kids" - the glass is half full & the "sun" will shine on the MCG again because we are prepared to invest in our "kids & their mates"

All well and good if we were talking about 10 year olds... but these are young men (adults) who are (or at least, should be) resolute in their belief that they can play the game hard, and take the good with the bad. Yes I am against unjustified abuse of players, but have no issue with fair criticism. The worst thing you can do to anyone is to shelter them from harsh reality.

I 100% agree with you. But sadly around here we have too much modern day footy ignorance - you can tell by what they write.

Nobody every has a problem with fair informed criticism - but here much of the criticism is ill-informed opinions based in another era driven mainly by what they read in newspapers or a "simple" google search - its hilarious but sad.

But such is life.

Assuming we finish 3rd bottom.

If we could keep Pick 3 & 13.

Trade Pick 4 and a player for Dangerfield.

Use a 2nd round pick to get Viney.

That would be awesomely delicisious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL yeah your right it is laughing out loud that you have to tell our own "so called supporters" that they are the very problem that we cant attract players like Dangerfield!

- we cant even attract them if they are one of our OWN. But sadly we can all dream on.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
