Being an MFC supporter does strange things to us all.

There has been some quality HTBs in the last 24hrs on here, this is up there!

As to your OP... his body of work suggests he would have for right in this year at Melb but I would hope we are past a J Watts.

You might have to undercover-attend that Port Adelaide singles night that he's hosting and woo him back to the club @Diamond_Jim????

Admin, can we merge this with the 'Get Izzy Falou' thread? 

Decent kick

That's a plus

Must confess that I was open to having Scully back on the basis of minimum pay and a one year deal which is what I understand Hawks paid. Okay he didn't star but he was a very useful player.

We took KK instead as our project player and well..............

What about bringing back Jesse too? My mail is that he's not happy atm

Bookmark it.

Basically, the Trent Croad trades all over again. Or even better, the Chris Tarrant trades.

It wasn't really a choice between the two though was it? Scully was never coming back even if we wanted him too.

Indeed !

The thrust of your thread has altered somewhat Jim. However, I reckon men discussing breast possibilities is a sensible Sunday arvo option.

Especially when one's footy team is [censored] and the cricket doesn't start for a few hours!

As the cricket tension rises, there is still relief in watching the Vuelta wend its way through the vineyards, orchards and captivating villages of Spain.

Well Stokes does a Botham and Australia do a demons.

Back to the Vuelta

Ironically he's the exact player we're screaming out for. That last kick into the forward 50.

That bit's correct. The problem, though, is that he has to get the ball before he kicks it and that's the bit that was his problem.

I think that problem is somewhat overstated by the emotional bias that some punters on this forum have against Jack.  Paul Roos got some decent output from Jack as both a defender and forward during his time as coach, it was only until Goodwin took the reins that Jack's game seemed to fall apart on the field.

Not only was Jacks ability to find team mates by foot pretty elite, he was/is one of the most accurate shots for goal in the league, which is an area that we fell over in massively at times this year.

I'm surprised this topic didn't come up earlier for us this season.

Do you remember one of his tweets on the way out. Paraphrasing but "I guess they don't want players that can kick after all"

Bring him back to the bosom of the MFC

The notion of a sinner returning to the path of righteousness and godliness always does that to me.
