  1. Nope. Delist them and get in some elite players.
  2. Garbage. The top teams have top players. Not fringe players.
  3. A very interesting observation on the radio today by Leigh Matthews that the coach and his coaching make very little difference to the outcome of games. He said it’s what the players do on the field that wins games, not the coaching. This seems pretty obvious except to some on this blog site.
  4. So you don’t think we should have persisted with Petracca and Gawn then? These fringe players will never be any good. This is why MFC is a joke even recruiting them!
  5. Yes we are mental midgets. why can’t AFL players reliably kick goals from set shots?
  6. I hope you keep posting because you have absolutely hit the nail on the head. I had the opportunity recently to have lunch with a top line coach of another sport who is a keen observer of MFC. He said almost exactly what you have said here about the cattle. Why do clubs like Geelong have lists absolutely loaded with elite players such as Ablett, Dangerfield, Selwood and Hawkins and we get players like Fritsch, Oscar, Neal-Bullen, Melksham, etc? Melbourne seems to think of itself as a second rate, fringe club. We don’t even have a proper home base. This, in my childhood, was the greatest team in the competition. That’s why my Dad and I started following them. For the past 56 years they’ve been a basket case while we’ve watched teams like Hawthorn, Carlton (in the past) and Richmond dominate the competition. WTF is wrong? Why can’t the management get it through their heads that this is a top line club not a second rate suburban team?
  7. You obviously haven’t watched much football in the last 10 years.
  8. Underrated? How?? He’s had years of kicking it directly to the opposition players and bombing it into the forward fifty without looking first. He was often found on the bottom of a pack after trying too hard for his size to burst through a tackle. Yes he tried hard but was never better than a mid range level player.
  9. No Wagner takes too long to make a decision and then gets caught and tackled or makes the wrong call and turns it over. Must be dropped along with Oscar and Jones.
  10. And Oliver reverted to his silly hot potato handballs.
  11. Those statistics mean very little. Many possessions are useless. Many are not counted properly. Some possessions are important and even vital. Some tackles and particular possessions can turn the tide of a game. The absolute number is not always representative of the influence a player has on a game. In the St Kilda game Viney was tackled with the ball and smashed into the ground in the first quarter. Soon after, the commentators commented that ‘Viney hasn’t had a touch’, The definition of a ‘touch’ is therefore B$.
  12. Keyboard warriors who criticise players who are putting their bodies on the line and improving but can’t take a little disagreement themselves! Lol. Apart from the fact that he’s wrong about Spargo.
  13. Most of the time Jones was under a pile of players at a stoppage or he was kicking or handpassing it straight to an opposition player.
  14. Watch the game again. This was Tomlinson’s best game for us so far. He played very well.
  15. A team doesn’t need 5 o 6 years as a ‘true contender’ to win the premiership. Richmond were about to sack their coach the year before they won the flag because they were so bad.
  16. 1. Yes. The objective of all AFL clubs is to win the premiership. Anything less is a failure. 2. Anything less than no. 1 means nothing. Especially after 56 years of no premiership.. 3. Don’t be silly. 4. Ron Barassi Peter Keenan Stan Alves Paul Callery Earl Spalding Gerard Healy Jeff Farmer Peter Walsh Darren Jolly Scott Thompson James Frawley Jeremy Howe Stefan Martin and multiple missed draft picks and trade opportunities, to start with, there’s lots more. I’ll have a think... A good stretch under anaesthetic could fix your fissure.
  17. 1. We won’t win the premiership this year. 2. We fall over under any pressure against good opposition. 3. We’ve failed very soon after achieving finals success. 4. We’ve given away good players who’ve then achieved at other clubs. Just like the Crows. Shall I go on?
  18. Like teasing you? My favourite sport. How’s the rectal stenosis?
  19. Like Adelaide we are a poor team. Mr tight bottie. St Kilda recruited well in the off season. We got Brown who has played one game, Tomlinson who is bog ordinary, Pickett who is a tiny tadpole, Jackson who is injured and won’t be back this year And Bennell who is skilled but a pale shadow of his former self. How’s the [censored] isis mr constipation haemorrhoid? By the way I cooked mr Fowler into coq au vin.
  20. But we fail big time against good opposition.
  21. Pickett is a small flea who is overrated. Hannan has big potential and kicks goals. Give Hannan a chance.
