Tough Kent

Agreed. The only way we will have to use our 2nd round pick on Billy is if a club other than St.Kilda nominate Billy with their first rounder. That would have to be unlikely.

That was Alex Sakadjian that Mitch was training with on the news. He is the MFC sport science coordinator. They have been working on a Misson program since Mitch was back in training.

I know for a fact, 100%, that the club have people that read this website. Information leaked by a viable source from inside the club and then being posted on this site may happen once, but there is very little chance that it would be allowed to happen again.

It would be bloody heartbreaking if we got bent over by a bloke we bent over backwards for.

Good to see the club on the front foot. Still no quote about Mitch not wanting to return to MFC.

Where did this come from?

The AGE, HS, Fox Sport have all reported that Mitch is unlikely to play at MFC based on a speculative comment made by Barrett. And some Demonland posters have followed suit. Talk about follow the leader.

What decision??? No decision has been made.

I would like the club to come out and clarify where it stands with Mitch. We shareholders deserve to be kept in the loop on a matter such as this one. Mitch is a listed MFC player, not a speculative rookie or potential recruit.

I'm just not sure how anyone who hasn't played at the level can describe him as a dud. He may not not be up to AFL standard but he has still got the majority of us on here well and truly covered.

I love all the posters describing Juice as a spud and a dud. Feel free to post your football resumes...

Reading this thread makes me realise how much I miss watching Melbourne play footy. Now that's really saying something.

I wonder if you'd tell them that to their faces you keyboard warrior!

There's no doubt our list needs change, but go easy on some of these blokes being delisted at this time of year. It must be a bloody awful feeling for them. A bit of sensitivity wouldn't go astray.

North are flirting with their form by resting all those players, a very dangerous thing to do at this time of the year. I'm saying that they wouldn't have left all those players out if they playing someone else. We'll agree to disagree.

Are you comparing the dominant Fremantle team of last year to the up and down North team of this year???No way North leave these players out against a reasonable team and risk a confidence knock going into an elimination final. They know they've got us covered.

Rubbish. Would they be 'managing' these players if they were playing nearly any other side in the comp and risk going into September in losing form?? Those outs are a massive kick in the guts.

Look at the North outs.... They obviously rate us highly. Firrito, Thomas, Greenwood, Goldstein, McDonald.

You can talk until you are blue in the face. If you don't have the cattle there is a limit to how far a group can go. If any MFC supporter doesn't think that the boys were playing to their capacity in the first half of the year then they've got rocks in their head. We've got players on our list who can improve, but our list in its present state is very limited.

So you think a club will be prepared to use their first round pick on Billy?

So what would that be? About pick 14-16? If they rated him that highly we'd have to take him around the 20 mark.

I don't think we will have to use a second rounder to get Billy. A club, other than St.Kilda, would have to agree to use their first round pick on Billy in the F/S bidding for us to have to use our second rounder. This would be extremely unlikely I would have thought.

How the wheel has turned.... This bloke refused our advances several years ago and wouldn't have a bar of us. Now it looks like he would welcome the chance to pull on our jumper. He can get [censored]!

He hasn't kicked one yet but there has been massive wraps on Hogan's impact this quarter from the commentators.

They keep referring to Tapscott as Kent. Still doing so.
