chook fowler

and our forward line

It's hard not to feel depressed about today and I don't think our situation has been helped by the selectors. I can't ever remember playing a ruckman at full forward ever working. They don't have the acceleration to lead and ours can't take a contested mark to save themselves. The only person on our list that might make a go of it is Fitz, having kicked 2 bags of 4 in the past. Spencer has all the mobility and coordination of a giraffe with inner ear disturbance and I would like to see him as the sub and Howe at full forward. That will allow us to unleash the awesome midfield power of M. Jones and Bail - I'm sure Selwood et al are shaking in their boots.

It was hard not to notice the quality of Stef Martins ruck work. He also shows some aggression that was never obvious when he was with us. Bugger it.

Have I stumbled into the Pies blog?

it is a worry that someone of a hogans age has a back related hamstring- usually a chronic problem seen in older players.

Agree. he does a lot of good things but his brain fades are epic - and frequent.

Hopefully he will be putting a tight tag on the pine.

Michie I'm afraid doesn't impact with his possessions, doesn't tackle much and lacks a yard of pace. A limited footballer IMO.

YAWN!

I think Jamie Oliver is safe

Sounds like a sad case of self abuse.

Never put aside the humour it's all we have.

If you had a brain you wouldn't support MFC

Could it be " Long live the King " ?

Geoffrey Edelsten?

Yeah the Cats are toast

Without Mumford GWS will plummet - anyway pick 13 would be a good get.

I saw that quote from Howe as more of a cop outt, saying they could have kicked the goal anyway. The fact is they wouldn't have if extra numbers were back and Jones was at the centre bounce.

Glad to have it in the hands of PJ and Mahoney - they won't get taken down.

Talk about shuffling deck chairs!

If Blease plays we will have to put a hard tag on him.

If that happens I think I'll enjoy a football free weekend - give myself a bye.

NOOOOOOOOO

Yeah bring back Percy Cerutty I say.

God help us - mind you He hasn't in the past.
