There's no way in hell that's his, nor any other developing players fault. there are players on the list that are being looked at by club and supporters. I'd suggest there's enough dead wood on the list to get rid of before the potentials get culled. There's enough space on any list for a good team, and a development base, hell, you can't have a list of superstars under the salary cap (I guess depends on the club....). It comes down to how well you develop and manage the young talent. That's our future, not the current 25+ group - their job is to get us ready. I want to see the Harmes', Whites, Kings, etc debut to see what they've got, at the expense of the usual suspects, but I'm happy to defer to the experts and wait patiently until the time comes. Personally, I think all 3 will be regular 22 come the end of 2016.

After all the negativity on here, and a few posts I read on other threads, I was thinking it might be time for a bit of positivity. Considering our recent situation, being bashed from pillar to post, maybe we need to look back, week to week, to find some inspiration. Flip side of the coin is we might be reading/viewing the same stuff every time we play certain teams, but then there will always be the Essendons, who seem to provide new footage whenever we play them. (Tossed around the word '[censored]' then, but decided against it) So here we go, Round 20, 2005. The last time we beat Geelong. (last 30 mins) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06AuR3tL_lY Some take-outs for me: Moloney was more than just a 'get ball and bomb long' player; Davey a superstar, deserved premierships; get Howe some Robbo footage; courage (Whelan etc - even Godfrey), that's the missing link! Fringe players IE Bell, Reid (check out the deliberate OOB FK, not much has changed with the maggots) you could trust to take a mark, or go when it's their turn; the natives faces when they thought they were in trouble (priceless) Different team every week, different experiences, away you go....

Thanks DV. Team name is The Golden Tickets

Couldn't agree more

Who the [censored] made you a Mod? Nobody, and let's hope to God that never happens, the way you want to dictate what is said here. You've had a crack at me before for making a simple joke, so you obviously can't handle anything negative re MFC whether it's a joke or otherwise. When you attack, yes, attack others you claim they can't handle a joke, but you clearly display a thin skin when on the receiving end. You're an attention seeker, nothing more (OK, perhaps a name dropper as well, everyone loves an ND). You just can't wait for these threads to be derailed and descend into a discussion about YOU. You stoke the fire until it ignites, that's only if your training report introductions don't do the job (lemon suckers, hairshirt something or other, no idea WTF that's about), that baiting is completely unnecessary. You are the head-derailer, and in your own words - jut silly! Here's where we part ways old boy. I had enjoyed reading your training reports until they descended into a self-inflating steaming pile of crap, and in your own words, you have left the real stuff to others. There are some really good training reports coming out now, so thanks to those posters who actually focus on the training, not their own agenda. Best of luck to you. A last piece of advice if I may. When you're taking your training photos, aim up. I see your photos and I see an alarming number of mens groins. Not the sort of thing I'm interested in. <not that there's anything wrong with that>. So ignore it is for you. I'm sure you'll get by. There's plenty on here that stand up for you, but they'll learn when their opinion differs. For the record, I couldn't give a [censored] what replies come from this. I simply want to read reports, discuss games, and have a light hearted joke here and there. Any [censored] that wants to try to control the discussion or can't take a joke, feel free to ignore me. I DGAF.

Aha, we're finally getting to the bottom of the reasons for Frawley leaving. It was no longer acceptable to stand and point (whilst shaking your head) at the attacker nearest to you, simply because it wasn't your man.

Is there a Development Academy idea in there somewhere?

Did you get a 'guns' pic? Otherwise I don't believe you.

Minimum. A singe player offending is given a 2 yr min (I think), so if a club is guilty of mass doping surely they have to be completely wiped out? Highly unlikely that would happen, but 1 thing that should be enforced is that none of these players should ever be allowed to play for Essendon again. They will still be physically reaping the rewards of the program so that is unacceptable.

Nah that's only a problem after he has Sweet and Sour or Boneless Lemon Chicken

How would one go about expressing interest in this comp?

Is it just me or is he starting to look a bit like Sheedy? Lovechild???

A) Where the [censored] is Leongatha? B) Why the [censored] would Jake Best end up there?

[Disclaimer - good natured joke intended] I'm disappointed this wasn't a 'guns' photo

Not I said the fly

Now I'm confused, I thought it was their job to make us throw up?

Would like to see him doing a lot of the boxing as well as well as running.

A good question considering I had money on Trent Cotchin to win it. I would expect him and Mitchell would be jointly awarded the medal. Not biased at all......

Surely at this point it's name and shame?

To be fair, the hook was well baited. I don't mind Terlich, the only issue is his disposal and I don't think I'm alone when I say my hearts in my mouth every time he has ball in hand (Grimes in a similar boat). If he cleans that up he's very valuable to the side.

The shock of a new contract?

Our list definitely needs a Snake

That there is no record of ever being purchased or supplied.

We haven't played a home game against Essendon since 2010. We've beaten them almost every time though (3-1), so what's the explanation for denying us an opportunity to gain financially out of that match-up?

Perhaps you meant since 2011?
