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.

Y Do Knickers Smell After Four?

 

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

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
