No worries OD I'm in mufti. And, I no longer have to worry about the other grass.

BBO Why would the custodians of a 100,000 seat stadium (a stadium i might add that is very well run-World Class) purposely put its own team on the park to be useless so nobody goes for 50 years??

When the alternative is 70,000-80,000 which we did pull in the late 80's a number of times.

The Rats in the Ranks are there, but not within the Northern Stand. I just do not buy it.

Yes. I slept very soundly last night.

James incorporated would not have.

Pain of the highest order awaits them now...

No DL i think all the aforementioned are happening inside your head.

You just hate the MCC.

Our problems have arisen because sadly Jimmy employed his mates into positions of power.

If what PJ reports is correct Schwab had no idea what he was doing or creating.

Being tossed out in the 80's was a huge mistake.

The MFC/MCC must get stronger.

Our problems extend far further back than the last few seasons since the Stynes board took over.

Buzz words are there to cover inadequacy, so no thanks

Personal insults I think, not sure due to the rather haphazard syntax, try answering what I posted, no probably not

No mate, "buzzwords" are used to efficiently communicate more complex concepts as a means to summarise them in a simple word or phrase rather than spend paragraphs communicating them.

Two games to go then let the Culling begin.

On my Shopping list is 22 good mids. If we can stop them in the middle of the ground we dont need any backs.

It'll be quite humorous to see all the players running into the square after centre bounces

yes leaving the MCC relationship in the 80's was a shocking move.

(Yet another one!)

Its the Melbourne flood.

Only downside is there no forwards to kick to.

Oh well every plan has its weakness.

Sounds a lot like last week. 22 midfielders might mean Magner gets a game, too

Because the MFC has no money 15 of the Mids will have to be imported from China.

actually it started our best period for 20 something years... but being sent to siberia stkilda, virtually destroyed us. not getting ourselves out of there & setting up home somewhere was a huge mistake...

we are still paying for the lack of support since the mid 60's.

You're nowhere near it.

Geelong was not a 'basket case' when Selwood joined. We are a basket case. Geelong was an underperforming but talented side. Big difference. And at any rate, Selwood didn't just pull Geelong up. If you think Geelong wouldn't have won the premiership if they hadn't taken Selwood, you're a moron. If any single player did what you think Selwood did, it was Chapman (or Ling, or Harley, or Scarlett, or a bunch of others who aren't Selwood). Selwood merely added to a 'culture' that was driven by Geelong's frustrated senior players.

Boak has been instrumental in Port's on-field resurgence. But that has nothing to do with 'culture'. For one, Boak was there last year, when Port was a disaster. He hasn't changed. What he's doing differently is not his attitude or his 'culture', it's his gameplay. And again, if any one person has improved Port, it's Hinkley, who has changed more things as a group than Boak has done on his own.

Then you claim Ward has 'held GWS together'. That firstly implies it needed holding together, as if it was going to fall apart. It wouldn't have. And even if he had had some influence on the side, it can't have been that great, given they're performing worse than Melbourne is this year. He's absolutely led from the front. That has nothing to do with 'culture'.

Your arguments are insipid.

What abiut the Koch factor - keeping it classy?
