EASTER Forward Line Hunt
JVR and Petty playing forward is probably going to be our best combo. Jefferson and Fullarton not up to AFL standard, delist year's end. Fritsch is a major concern as he no longer going to be our leading G.K and doesn't takle, almost has become irrelevant. Perhaps we could trade him to Essendon for one of their first round picks ( not pick number one). Like to pick up Georgy from Port A.

PREGAME: Rd 08 vs West Coast
Not convinced that playing Fritsch benefits the team anymore. Perhaps he should become sub against Weagles. Would like to see May play FF as he is too slow for FB. Turner could become F.B

PREGAME: Rd 07 vs Richmond
JVR and Fritsch didn't do much in the reserves and therefore should not be rewarded. The best way to get JVR to gain form is to play him in the ruck. Jefferson must play FF for Casey. Blooding new players for the seniors against Richmond is not a bad idea. Sestan for Salem (not playing well), the inclusion of Adams at FB is worth a try. May can have another week off.

PREGAME: Rd 06 vs Fremantle
You could have dropped plenty of other players. Perhaps it is a little too late. Freo to win , Goody to get sacked surely !!!!

The Luke Beveridge Thread
BEVO will be coaching FREMANTLE next year and JUM will be there also.

The Luke Beveridge Thread
Not totally against us getting Bevo, but his success rate is not that good. Bevo needs to gets a free reign on coaching staff and anyone else who is involved in the club . Say goodbye to Jones, Jamar, Choko, Richardson and whoever is the defence coach. Two more losses to go and Goody is gone.

Letter from Brad Green
I don't want a good man i.e Brad to run the club. We need someone that has mongrel in them. I heard that Brad said the board has every faith in Goody , usually means he is a dead man walking. We are not going to turn things around as the players in my opinion do not want to play for Goody and co. I wonder how we can get our first round pick back from Essendon. Perhaps Fritsch,two second rounders for there 1 st rounder and 2 x 4 th rounders. Maybe we will be stupid enough to give them Fritsch and our future 1 st rounder.

PREGAME: Rd 06 vs Fremantle
The senior players have lost faith in Goody , if he stays on we would be lucky to win 2 matches for the year. Players like Kossie,Petty,Petracca and Oliver would want to go. Others players will be included. Who comes in and who goes out will not make any difference whatsoever. We are back to revolving doors. The club needs to be shaken up , I would play May and Fullerton and/or Jefferson forward . Adams,Turner and JVR back and Sestan. Drop Salem ,Chandler,Viney. Make Max Gawn as rucking coach part time player which means Max and Verrall share ruck duties. Drop Sparrow as well . Give Pup a chance playing forward. NONE OF THESE MOVES WILL HAPPEN OF COURSE.

GAMEDAY: Rd 05 vs Essendon
We will turn things around tonight Bombers to win by 47 pts. Our percent should rise by 0.7 %

PREGAME: Rd 05 vs Essendon
I heard Goody is trying a new game plan. Expected to take 23 rounds ( or was that weeks ) , he has a policy or regular seniors players cannot get dropped, only the fringe ones. If you are a MFC reserves don't worry about playing well as there is no light at the end of the table. Who wants to come to Melbourne, only those who find it easy to get a salary for doing nothing. I laughed when appointed N.Jones as a mid coach, I actually assumed he was going to be the water boy. Many of us complained N.Jones cluncking the ball on several occasions. There is no way he teach any of our mids anything whatsoever. If I was Brown ,Sestan ,Adams ,Fullerton and Verall I would go elsewhere. We need ASAP a new coach and assistant who can make the Dees strong again. NOT going to happen I know.

Tom Fullarton
Reserve players (MFC listed) find it hard to get games in the seniors, especially when your 0-4 games. Goody doesn't like to drop out of form players , he is almost clueless. Can you turn a forward into a ruck forward like Fullarton.? I say that it is possible as we have coaches,fitness staff and sports shrinks on hand. Mind you most of our players have gone backwards therefore they probably are as useless as t.ts on a bull !! Fullarton deserves to be promoted despite what people think as for Fritsch and Petty they need to be dropped .

The Economy ???
Saw a commercial on TV telling us the importance of gas and how it is used to make bricks, aluminium products and glass . There is no glass manufacturing companies in Australia. Why are the Greens inc supporters are against COAL and GAS and yet they accept product made from dirty crude oil which product toxic polluting compounds i.e petrol , paradichloro benzene ( urinal blocks which are banned in many countries ) .Perhaps they are funded by the rich. If we get rid of crude oil there would be no supermarket food , no clothes , no ...........Rem we need to save the planet at all costs. Lithium ion batteries for cars are made by using coal fired power station in the process. Lithium batteries life span is 7-8 years or 120-140000 klms. Cost to replace them is $10-20000 that does not include labour cost. You buy an electric car for $60,000 in 5 years time the cost of a your will drastically devaluate. Vegetable oil i.e sunflower , peanut can be used to produce bio fuel as a substitute for diesel fuel. The low unemployment figure is totally misleading, according to Centrelink if you do 0ne hour of work per fortnight you are classified as employed. What make figures look good there are much more casual and part time workers today compared to 20 yrs go. The figures should be based on 36 hrs working week. Interest rates we up ,according to the reserve bank people are spending too much. Yet tax cuts were introduced and wages increases for the P.S. All this means people have more money to spend and yet interest rates dipped slightly.

Recruiting - where did it all go wrong
Leek Alir wanted $750,000 a year to move club, not bad for someone who is not getting a game. If we wanted to get a cheap mid why didn't we go after McCrae ex doggie. He is playing well for the Saints. Think how much pressure would be put on our current mids however Goody is reluctant to drop out of form players. We could of had Hogan and Ginnivan , forget about the past we need our team to win games an mae our team strong again. Why were the Swans good for a long time ? Good coaches ( Longmire ) ,good draft picks , people want to play for the club not ours. The Hawks rebuild are a success, they go after the right sort of players and they produce good reserves sides ,again people want to play for them. We have to improve or implement a system that can advance our reserve players so as they can be rewarded for playing well. Pup went from hero in his brief stint into the seniors then he was dropped. How many players have improved at the club in the last 2 years ,nil McVee breaks even. Goody shooting his mouth about Fritta being on notice and Petracca not happy because his brand is tarnished does make or a happy footy club. Surely we could pick up young delisted mids from other clubs ?

New coach prospects
We should look at getting James Hird for our next coach. We have to forget about the past Essendon drug cheating scandal. Hird has got a footy brain. Possibly Buckley or to Longmire. Currently Goodwin should be paid out. Richardson or Choko should take over as caretaker coach. Hogan and Ginnivan as players had issue with their previous clubs and are succeeding with GWS and Hawthorn respectively. As with the Buddism belief the past no longer exists.
- Time to start a rebuild?
