Definitely bending rpfc. But it's just a bit of fun. But also interesting to consider what the game might look like in 5 or 10 years. The MFC have been so reactive over the years in terms of the trends of the game. It would be great to be seen as an innovator and a trend setter. The mobility and the depth of mobility in our tall department is genuinely unique. Why not try to exploit that?

Because midfield.

The midfield is midfield midfield.

Midfield.

Keep Fitzy. I'm more optimistic of his future ability exceeding expectation (I hope) than anyone else we have (this week).


Last year a certain poster (not suggesting who, rpfc) canned my wanting Jamar traded as I thought Gawn & Martin would be better rucks this year.


Jamar should be traded now (with Peder or Sellar if anyone wants them) pursuant to finding 2 gun mids.



But the way Fitzy's developing he may be able to play any position on the field soon.


Did anyone see Fitzy recently going for a mark at FF against 2 defenders; he just rucked it to Watts who nimbly crumbed & goaled. It was beautiful. (or was I dreaming?)

Jamar was not going to get anything last year, he was an UFA who surprisingly to everyone re-signed midseason.

He is now worth very little and will not get you the left leg of any promising mid out there.

Jamar's future value to this club may be in making Gawn and Spencer better than they otherwise would be without the presence of a very good tap ruckman.

love him

he has style and grace, but got off on the wrong foot with MM, ratten loves him and had the bloke playing good off the hbf

don't worry, our backline feeding him will take it directly to FF and every body in the team would enjoy that

what do we trade for him, mmmmm dunno

Sure would take him I they took dunno (#14), but I wouldn't think they would do that trade.

super effort from the Fitz tonight . He also tweaked his knee when he kicked his 3rd goal as well but solidered on

Kicked four great goals and generally carried on from where he left off two weeks ago (last week against Geelong in that re-enactment of 40,000 Leagues Under the Sea doesn't count).

He was unbelievably lucky not to have picked up a total knee reconstruction out of this farce of a game tonight.

Injured? Spent very little time in the ruck when Gawn clearly needed more support. Watts rucked in the last quarter.

He had a proper limp in the end. Clearly couldn't ruck.

The last time we risked a half injured player in the ruck, it was Clark and he hasn't been seen since. Glad mind blowingly pathetic decisions like that are no longer happening at this club.

Agreed. Just wondering what to expect for next week. It'll be a bum if he has to miss more games when he finally seems to be tying it all together. Frustrating.

You would think if he ran out the game, with a week to recover, he should be ok.

I'd bring Spencer in next week and give Gawn a rest, which will actually allow Fitzy to ruck less.

I am much much more worried about Garlo. He's our rock down back and anyone forced to use crutches and has a history of foot injures, is unlikely to get away with not missing a few games.

particularly if it gifts jamar a game he doesn't deserve.

And while you're at it, throw in a prayer for the master to learn how to spell better.

Not familiar with the ..... Pls jokes that populate twitter. I'm not even sure what they are called but Fitzy is perfectly suited.

Shame he wasted such a glorifying performance on Darwin and not prime time

Agreed again, was going to post the same Spencer for Gawn change in the changes thread when someone started it. I love Gawn, but the big fella is knackered. This is why I'm happy to carry some ruck redundancy on the list.

I'm not worried about Garland, for the paradoxical reason that he's a solid and cemented senior member of the team. He's not going to miss crucial development or experience or confidence, so in the medium term, him being injured won't set us back any. If we were pushing for a flag, or he was a 40 game player I'd be shattered.

I know it sounds stupid but I was kinda hoping to win again before the end of the season, and Garland will seriously help me achieve my very ambitious dreams.

True, it sucks from that perspective.

Get on twitter Chook! It's amazing! I follow news, sport (mfc stuff in particular) and occasional comedy (or attempted comedy). I don't follow celebrities.

Plus it takes all of 4 seconds to catch up on it. If you use it as an information service and follow the right people you'll find it great.

For example you only have to follow about 10 people and you'll get all the relevant content from the tv news and major news papers all without wasting your life flicking through the sun or watching 6pm news

Well the markets closed on most improved player at our B&F, 4 goal effort in these conditions, to get injured and continue on, and his 4th goal came at critical time (shame we couldn't go on with it). I keep asking the question where he will fit in for the future, but for now I'm just enjoying watching him playing well and clearly enjoying his time out there.

Watts rucking is part of Watts' development, Fitzy's knee is fine, watch the speed he uses to clear away from the defender to mark for his 4th, he also made no mention of it in post game interview

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
