Terrible thread.

I think since he is the latest player to go it looks like we might try to get Lance.

They were never going to clear him I don't think until they found out Lance is out from the Blues.

courageous act and not a bad player, maybe should of given him one more year.

Why? What have you missed over the past five years?

Absolute bollocks.

He's a skinny 26yo with poor skills and courage his only asset, that's why...

Agree.He was not up to AFL.

If we get lance whitnall, it would be a giant step back for the club. They say he has a good footy brain... obviously not good enough if he cant understand that you need to be fit to play the game.

he was always a depth player - unable to establish himself as a senior footballer.

he played the final six games of the year and beat westhoff and kennedy - both players with years and pre-seasons ahead of them.

was a good servant of the footy club and also of the alliance with sandringham..

from the hills of Belgrave where he played with the brothers, he achieved something a hell of a lot of other people would like to say they did - play AFL footy!!

Very true. Something that's probably forgotten at times when supporters are writing players off as duds.

It is sad to see him go - the poor guy seemed to get injured as soon as he began to get hopes up. I dunno, I would've given him one more year.

But it's not a decision I'm going to agonise about - he was right on the line of keep-or-delist for a very long time.

Best wishes to him, and not only does he get to say he played AFL, but he can also say that he would've had a much better career except he was cruelled by injury.

And he earnt people's respect.

but then again Yze is as hard and tuff as they come ehh :blink:

I think you'll find the guys on this thread that are supporting the clubs decision to delist Ferguson:

a) respect the courage Ferguson showed on the football field;

B) thank Ferguson for his efforts over the past 5 years;

AND

c) condemn Yze for his less than convincing efforts over the past couple of seasons.

There are better ways of doing it...Some just show there true colours

Certainly couldn't question the courage of Fergs!

Was knocked around a fair bit with injuries too, with a couple of shoulder recos, and also being cleaned up by Sylvia didn't help him.

I recall a standout game he had against the Bombers at the start of 2005 where he would have been close to BOG.

Could easily have been given one more year, but not surprised he wasn't.

Hope he gets picked up by another club.

Good luck for the future Fergs, and thanks for giving the MFC your best!

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    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
