More then happy to farm our developing players out to a variety of clubs if it means that they play in the positions that the MFC needs to groom them for!

Why would any VFL team take our rejects? Good grief!

    I'm not talking about those on the way out...Yze, Warnock, Weetra...the feeble minded = Newton

    I mean Martin, Maric, McNamara, Spencer, Zomer, Valenti, and Grimes [when fit]...the blokes who have a future

    The VFL is that fierce that Bate can't come back through the seniors what a joke. Bailey has just sealed the worst coach ever ahead of Balme with with that blunder. We desperately need quality players back in the team and they waste him in Sandy's 2nd's. Martin playing in the ruck when we desperately need a key back I can see why Geelong got rid of Lovell.

    His recovery from his hamstring injury dictates that he has limited work out in the 2nds at Sandy to get it right. He is way ahead of the talent there but the importance was to test out the hamstring in a confined situation. Its decision dictated by fitness recovery not the selectors.

    When PJ was injured, Jamar got called up to the AFL. Meesen is out injured also so who rucks bjgc? Martin was the next option.

    Nothing like the facts is there. :wacko:

    That's crap. Firstly, it's likely that Bailey didn't choose to have Bate in the Sandy twos and secondly, even if he did there was probably a very good reason, e.g. because there was doubts about his ability to run out a full game, in which case playing for the Sandy reserves is fairly standard practice.

    This was one of Sandy's poorest games for a long time. Frankston won becasuse of its intensity, desire for the ball and willingness to play as a team. There were 12 AFL listed players in the Sandringham team while the visitors were a no name team that was willing to put in and get the hard ball.

    Sorry that the disease that inflicts MFC is seeping to the Zebs Bazz :lol:

    He hasn't played a game for about 6 weeks & also hasn't trained all of that time either, so if you bothered to think a little instead of just ranting then you may just realise he needed a run to give his lungs a blow out. Also Sandy were unbalanced with a lack of rucks & add the 12/10 rule. Then it all starts to make sense, see? No :blink:

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
