Yeah, JKH brings a tear to my eye.

He looks good.

King is doing far better than Spencer. He actually has some spring about him.

Terlich will be All Australian at years end.

Matt Jones looks good off the back flank. I think he needs to make that his position and he could be a very good player down back.

I am a massive Dom Barry fan.

Pederson just shown amazing courage. That was gutsy.

The more we involve Dom Barry, the better off we will be.

Yeah, I noticed that. He looked sluggish.

Barry is going to be an exceptional player.

I like that decision by Trengove to take the 6, that is a guy who knows his game.

He has been really disappointing. Really needs to lift.

That is gold, Pedo is slotting 9 pointers.

Spencer doesn't appear to be our answer as a ruckman, he doesn't time his jump very well. Jamar is clearly a superior centre bounce ruckman. It's very disappointing that we just gave away that goal.

Rohan Bail just dobbed one, Roos must be a miracle worker.

Bernie just sold some candy, that is vintage. Garland sounds a bit down, clearly itchy feet.

Just no forward line, other than that we are going ok.

Strauss lacks awareness and will never make it as a footballer. On the upside though, Sam Blease is showing plenty of promise. Dunn has been solid down back, Terlich looks even better than last year and Frawley is playing well. Strauss is a depth player for Casey.

Dunn is showing a bit down back, that was excellent body positioning to get in front.

Terlich looking exceptional. Jones had a great start - albeit has missed a couple of goals, hard shots. Tyson has the best hands in the league - he is a Simon Black clone. JKH, very busy boy. Blease looks great.

In fairness, Tex Walker is the only legitimate 100 goal forward in the game. He is throw back to the 90's and the best full forward the league has seen since the Fevolution.

Yeah, I think the ruck position is Spencer's to lose atm.

It is a poor article because there is no evidence that Richmond is any closer to a flag now - than they were 10 years ago. Richmond are built on hype, but they lack leadership, this is evident. MFC have far more leadership than Richmond, far more. The only thing is, our leadership sits in the stands. Dawes and Clark are leaders, once they get on the field, combined with Grimes, Jones, the recent addition of Cross, Vince and the uprising of Viney and Toumpas, there is no logical being that would leave MFC - in order to play at Richmond. We might be perceived in the media to be no-hopers at present, but with a fully fit list, we will actually stand for something, especially under Roos. On Richmond, the only leader they have desperately wanted out - in Martin, he should've followed his instincts as well. Richmond are the most overrated club in recent times, they are gunners.

I think the Sylvia for Vince trade - as it essentially was - will serve us very well. Bernie Vince is a footballers footballer, he knows how to find the football and how to use it. Vince is everything we need, he is predominately a midfielder, which is an area we struggle in - and an area where Sylvia was only just serviceable. Sylvia's best position IMO was on the forward flank, however, when Hogan, Clark, Dawes come in, then we can shift Howe to one flank - and rotate our mids off the other flank. Colin wasn't a great midfielder and our need for flankers in 2014 isn't as strong as it has been. Vince's best football isn't far behind Nathan Jones, it's just that Vince doesn't quite have the consistency of Jones. If we can get the best out of Bernie, then we'll be all the better for it.

If he cannot juggle football and landscape photography, then I'd have no problem if he left the club. We only want footballers who want to play football - and more so, want to play for the MFC. Nothing about Clark suggests that he is about to abandon plans of playing football. But, of course, he has been injured for some time and one can say some silly things when they are frustrated.
