  1. dont be silly. We're just not good enough yet.
  2. Come off it guys. We were never expected to beat Freo, Swans or Hawks this year. It's a tough draw. We'll learn a bit and beat some of the middle graders. Then we'll continue the recruitment and delistings. In 2 or three years we'll be more competitive against the top sides.
  3. The teams Collingwood has beaten so far: Brisbane, St Kilda, Carlton. Essendon. Lost to Adelaide, Geelong. The only half decent team they've beaten is Essendrug. They've got Richmond, Gold Coast, Demons and GWS before the bye. The only high rated other team they play before the bye is Norf. Seems like a much easier draw than ours!!
  4. Thousands of our supporters are MCCmembers who get entry to all games at the G. Most do not join MFC as there is very little benefit to them. If they want to go to a game at docklands they can buy a reserved seat online.
  5. nobody said they were our future. They are experienced top line players who can show the likes of Salem, Hogan, Brayshaw, Petracca, Kennedy-Harris and other youngsters present and near future the way.
  6. thats garbage. The previous administration had that policy and got rid of all our senior players including junior macdonald. Did you think Bsiley, Prendergast and Neeld's youthful teams were great? The few dead wood oldies that they recruited were useless. Lamuumba, Garlett and Cross have brought in some good mature leadership and skill sets. Carlton supporters are spitting chips that they lost Garlett.
  7. Mckenzie should be delisted NOW. I don't care what his contractual state is. He should never be picked again to play in the AFL. He can't kick a football. This is a game of football.
  8. It's because we were absolutely the worst team in the league for 2012, 2013 and looked like the Fitzroy that disappeared. This was partly because we had almost all weak players with almost no skills. We have recruited well and weeded out part of the dead wood. There are still several that need to go and be replaced with top level AFL players. We do not have the depth yet so when two of our best go down they are replaced by VFL types. Also some of our regulars are nowhere near the top teams' regular players. It will take at least two more years of careful recruiting of excellent AFL players both from other clubs and through the draft before we can regularly compete at the highest level.
  9. Sylvia was an overrated dud spud. He had a couple of good games but couldn't sustain high performance footy. He wasn't as good as the hype about him and that led to his off field shenanigans- the expectations on him were too high and he couldn't cope with that.
  10. John Meesen - what a disaster he was! Don't remind me! The poor fellow was continually plagued by foot injuries.
  11. Youve got to be joking. He has to be weaned from breast milk first.
  12. So Carlton really employed Prendergast? That's so funny I s--t myself laughing.
  13. So we could get another Cale Morton, Lucas Cook, Jordan Gysberts, Jack Watts or Jack Trengove or maybe Tom Scully?
  14. What's a loosing streak? Is that like when the dogs are let loose off the leash? Or perhaps when a person of loose morals does a streak across a football ground?
  15. You left out a few who should go:Spencer Fitzpatrick Riley King Tehrlich Matt Jones Neal-Bullen Harmes Hunt White Jamar will retire
  16. I agree with you about the ruck. Jamar won't be there next year and the others are not AFL level. We will need to do some trades and offer good money to get a top line ruckman.
  17. To give credit where it is somewhat due, Greatest Waste of Space' players did look very fast and slick with their movement of the ball out of the centre. They put on quite a performance in the second half. Our guys couldn't get near/catch them. But our guys looked tired from the time they first came onto the ground. Is it the ridiculous diet they are on? Did they all go out late the night before? Did they not sleep properly in the hotel?
  18. They still haven't sent me my membership card. I joined in September. The other 4 members of my family refuse to join again.
  19. I'm glad I didn't go to Canberra. Not only because it's a s_ hole...
  20. Lack of winning clearances was the biggest factor in the loss.
  21. They all looked tired hot bothered and unfit. Except Salem and maybe Viney.
  22. 13 goals to 1 goal in the second half. How embarrassment.
  23. so you don't think that 27000 fans at the MCG vs about 150 GCS supporters made any difference?
