Ah yes of course, I missed the first thread response giveaway!!

Ken Hinkley - Head of Football
I'll put it this way, the appalled responses in the Stringer thread restored my faith in the club's culture!

I had assumed this thread was satire after the original post but now I'm not sure...

Goody is a genius!!!
This is absolutely the issue with it. You are asking for trouble playing an injury prone petty in the ruck, and I agree regarding the cost of taking jvr away from what we would hope would be further development time in his natural forward position.

PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon
In isolation I might see this selection as a bit strange but not worry-inducing. But in the context of a number of bizarre and very costly selections in recent years it is hard to not be concerned any time there is another glaring selection question mark. Even in the past year we have had: - Laurie sub for 2023 qualifying final, which made no sense at the time and came home to roost - Schache sub for 2023 semifinal, which made no sense at the time and mustn't have made sense to the coaches/selection committee either as he didn't get on the ground. Giving a fresh legs advantage to the opposition was a massive own goal. Worth 2 points on the scoreboard perhaps? - Playing Spargo in Round 0 when he was clearly not fit and clearly did not have adequate preparation That's just a sample of selection in 3 consecutive AFL games. You have to be trying hard to come up with a defence for some of these things.

NON-MFC: Round 07
Their record could easily be worse than it is too - Brisbane, Richmond and Freo wins all coinflips and somewhat dubious. Agreed re their D, which definitely needs to lift if they want to go far.

NON-MFC: Round 07
From memory, he was also part of the Freo exodus when their cap was impacted by Jackson's move.

NON-MFC: Round 07
He has certainly improved in terms of kicking and execution since the latest move. The error in q2 where he made a poor decision and then executed poorly, kicking straight to a Geelong player for a goal, was the sort of stuff that was always the question mark over his game in previous years and would have been concerns for teams taking a look I'm sure. Speed, fitness are strengths.

NON-MFC: Round 04
Well it lasted all year in 2023 - picked up some undeserved wins, especially the gws umpiring rort in the early rounds, and continues throughout the year especially late season and finals. Curnow and McKay have long been beneficiaries of flopping frees.

NON-MFC: Round 04
To anyone who doesn't think umpiring influences games, lol

NON-MFC: Round 04
Most predictable thing ever is Carlton getting a phantom free for a goal to take the lead late in a game.

2023 GRAND FINAL
Daicos just an embarrassing cheat and diver. Win a hard ball. Protected species.

Maynard must get at least four weeks
Wow. I won't even touch on the Gus aspect of this, other than to say he kicked a football and it isn't his job to look for charging airborne objects heading toward his head, you would never anticipate such unusual late contact. The main thing I want to highlight is that what you have said is factually incorrect - Maynard did not go 'straight up', and it's as clear as day on multiple angles, so it might be worth giving it a rewatch if that's what your assessment is based on.

TICKETING: SF vs Carlton
Exactly this. It shouldn't matter what the demand in the system is. The window of ticket availability for members is there, and we are entitled to our rightful allocation rather than having tickets reallocated within the first hour of availability. Why even bother having the allocation if they are going to do this? One part of purchasing a club membership is the benefit it gives you in terms of finals tickets access.
