From this is that the beer they had available means that the club doesn’t think people want to drink beer or just all have awful taste. 14 hours ago, ANG13 said: Very uninspiring beer list. It didn’t matter anyways. A hugely disappointing turnout means not much was sold by any of the vendors. We weren’t allowed to put on a BBQ because the Casey Canteen didn’t want us as competition. Turns out that at the end of the event they were forced to give away a heap of unsold hot and/or perishable food for free. Pies, pasties, sausage rolls, dim sims, hot chips, salad rolls and more, all destined for the bin. The crowd was so small it wasn’t just disappointing, it was embarrassing. Why it wasn’t scheduled for a Saturday or Sunday arvo is beyond me. The only winner is my teenage son who gets to live on Harvest Snaps chips, salad rolls, sausage rolls and spinach/ricotta pastries instead of the usual sausages. 😜 9 1 8 Quote

They’ve played enough footy and done enough training to miss a few full bore sessions. 6 2 1 Quote
dazzledavey36 56,334 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 (edited) Really disappointing to hear regarding food and BBQ. Sooner we get Caufield up and running the less we have to deal with going all the way out to that [censored] And seriously, sort your scheduling out MFC!

The club played Clarry so he wasn’t left out or isolated. Almost the opposite. Not hard to differentiate why Trac and Viney would be left out but Oliver wouldn’t…. but go on. 8 1 Quote

Could happen to anyone, just ask Marshall from Port. He’s been training hard and trying to get fit for round 1. His season is now over because of a mishap, which has nothing to do with his efforts of being an afl player. Maybe he is a bust when it comes to trading pick 28, but there’s a countless number of busts from pick 1 onwards. how about support your team. If you were issued a ban for addressing such astounding insensitivity I’d start a riot. These players are human beings with feelings. Shane is absolutely gutted. It’s gonna be sad to see his demeanour of old again. It’s heartbreaking. 10 1 1 Quote

sisso 2,627 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Really rough luck for Shane and the side, was looking forward to seeing what he could do he has the talent... 5 Quote

Got the feeling this year was the first year he mentally felt good and now his body has let him down again. Your feeling about that is right. Shane has gone from sullen and downcast and generally disengaged to confident and buoyant and super keen, raring to go. He’s another one who can’t disguise his feelings. It’s gonna take our professional psych staff quite the effort to bring his spirits back up. It’s just devastating. 2 2 7 Quote
Young Angus 873 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 So sad for Shane, was really excited to see him have a good go at it. Such a shame and feel for the guy. Hopefully he makes it back at some point after all this bad luck :( 1 3 Quote
demoncat 1,723 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 Poor Shane 😢 In related news, the Herald Sun are reporting we’re now likely to add Jai Culley to the list if we move Shane to the LTI list 1 3 Quote
titan_uranus 25,255 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 The timing of this match is the sort of thing that needs to be raised at the AGM. Why are we embarrassing ourselves and our hardworking volunteers? Is there a good reason? I certainly can’t think of a good reason for a Friday afternoon timeslot in school term. The McAdam injury is devastating given his changed fitness and attitude this pre-season. Only serves to compound the frustration that comes with Pickett’s suspension. 6 2 Quote

These players are human beings with feelings. Shane is absolutely gutted. It’s gonna be sad to see his demeanour of old again. It’s heartbreaking. Agreed. These comments stating he (McAdam) is “a bust”, are so unnecessary and so insensitive. Yes, maybe he was a bust at the time he was recruited, but so what?? He had been working his [censored] off in an attempt to get his body right and, by all reports, appeared to be putting together good training sessions and getting himself into a position where he was a good chance to get the vacant Pickett spot for the beginning of the season. A little empathy does not go astray… just consider the fact that the players are quite likely to be aware of this forum, and that there’s a chance that they do occasionally read the comments. I really hope that the club get around him and give him the mental support that he will need… it must be utterly soul destroying! 9 2 3 4 Quote
