WTF

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

WTF

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So would trading pick 44 for Trent Cotchin.

Point?

What is this?

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
