I've always wondered what was poking out the sides of his footy jumper. Now I know.

No forward line again, for God's sake you don't just draft a key forward(Cook), and a key forward/ruck (Fitzpatrick) for nothing! WHAT THE HELL!

Leigh Brown said that Fitz and Cook aren't ready for AFL yet due to not being able to run out an entire game (injured during the year etc). Yes no forward line sucks but this year was a write off since round one so there is no point putting the lambs to slaughter for the sake of getting games into them. Maybe against GWS and Gold Coast.

Missed plenty of pre-season and matches through injuries etc. They're not fit enough to be considered.

There fit to play VFL but not AFL and still no Gysberts

Cook has been playing football every week for 6 weeks but is not fit to play in a game were half his team mates are also not fit what a load of SH&*.

If you cant get games with this MFC list your in big trouble.

We used pick 12 in the national draft almost 2 years ago and still has not played a game.

Well done MFC.

Bailey gave blokes games that hadn't earnt them for 3 1/2 years. All in the inane belief that "getting game into them" was all that was required.

Thats why Watts coasted for 3 years.

Get the little bastards hungry.

Out: 3 NQRs

In: 2 NQRs and 1 genuine best 18 player (I'll leave it up to the imagination which)

Nice to see the changes make the side stronger, even if it is only fractionally.

Gysberts and Cook might well say let's try another club if Neeld keeps doing this.

Gysberts is in my best 22 at our club even with a leg missing this year.

Cook has been sitting on the side for 2 years training his bum off and still will not get given a go when we have players like Garland playing forward.

We really have not one forward to kick to and this Kid cant get a game.

Give us members something to look forward to FFS we are crap.

I hardly think a rake forward who isn't ready is something to look forward to.

Really?I think it's better then nothing.

Cook is way under weight and struggles to run out the second half of a Casey game, so I can't exactly see him running amuck in the AFL.

Cook is nowhere near AFL ready,he can't dominate VFL defenders yet.

He'd get mauled against AFL defenders that would run off him all day and he doesn't have the tank to go with them.

He's not a Cameron/Patton that is good enough to play straight away,maybe he'll never be good enough.

my understanding is Cook was taken as a bit of a project player....obviously still very much a project in progress

Morton won't be playing at all this weekend. He's been spotted heading to Splendour In The Grass:

top-30-questionable-festival-attendees-a-gallery_45057_g.jpg

That might explain his consistent underperforming ...

Is that him at the bottom, third from right?

Reckon Couch should have stayed in, made a few errors but thats pretty normal in this team.....

All of those crying out for Couch to get a game saw that he was not good enough yet.

We all need to just shut up about our underperforming PLAYERS and get behind the TEAM.

We dont know any better than the paid staff so we should SUPPORT the team on the park.

We may surprise ourselves with a little bit of optomism.

I'm hoping we can snatch this one for Brad Green-a top clubman and stalwart for us over the years.

Negativity is just too easy-lets make some noise.

It would be good to stuff Norths season.

Wankers...

Nice one mate.

No good pointing our frustrations at ourselves.

I'm a big believer in knocking over other peoples sandcastles when you are feeling sh!t about yourself.

Hope we can de-rail a few this year to end the season on a high.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
