The club drafts skinny, fragile type players who break down, they are real culture builders.

Strauss is a prime example, 16 games since being drafted in 2008.

Take your MFC culture babble elsewhere you fool.

This always amuses me - with few exceptions draftees are skinny - especially if you are talking talls. The Jono Pattons and Tapscotts are exceptions to how draftees look - not the rule.

First aside is that I dont Strauss was all that skinny - needed some growing but certainly wasnt as skinny as some draftee's

Second aside - Strauss's major injuries have been a sickening leg break and shoulder reconstruction - these hardly qualify as fragile body that keeps breaking down. Both injuries were collision injuries. you can point to continual soft tissue injuries but it is unfair to classify these injuries as a fragile body.

 

I remember checking out some early footage of Strauss ,Blease ,Watts and the guy from Bankstown carving it up for Vic Metro .

They dominated then and in time they will dominate again.

Have a look at you tube Vic Metro GF 2008 or 2009?

The kick Tom Mc tried acoss half back that cost us a goal would have hit the target if Straussy kicked it and would be a 12 point difference in result.

When I say the simple words "can play" or "can't play" it really means the basics skills of football.

He has them in spades.

What does this stand for?

I gather it's not a compliment?

I assume that it's: You don't know (censored) about (censored).

It's actually YDKSFA which is You don't know sweet f all. But Dingaling has made his own acronym up. That seems to be a trend with this particular poster who's found an incredible way to post ridiculous comments with no credibility at all.

Never fear fail troll is fail.

I've just assumed it's You Don't Know S*** About Footy.

Which is kinda ironic, since he's the one saying it...

Anyone who can kick the ball as well as Strauss is welcome to get a game.

Too many players on the list can't kick.

Needs to get a kick first

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
