Chook in Perth
Chook in Perth

I'm in Melbourne for work next week. Was planning on flying in mid arvo and meeting some mates at Carlton v Richmond. About a month I decided to brave a 6:05am Saturday flight out of Perth so I'd be

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.

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.

If that's what we're hanging our hat on we're in big trouble.

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

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.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
