ive seen this come in a little in the AFL last year. Players eg Daniher rustling an opponents hair or jumping on their back after scoring a goal on them. you would think it is common decency to show a bit of respect but apparently not. if things like this continue, it should be looked at but you'd hope clubs handle it in house. surely we don't need a 'Dont be a [censored]' rule

just over 3 weeks to go until our practice matches start and 7 weeks until Round 1 Can we get excited yet?!?! Im already there With only 2 hit outs before round 1 I would expect the best and fittest ~29 to play.

before the last round of last year we were paying $11 to miss finals and now we are similar odds to win the flag before the seasons starts (I don't have a point, just the first edition of 'DubDee's OddSpot')

oh THAT selwood

Sloane is a very good player, but not a star thats worthy of big bucks IMO. he went missing a fair bit last season when tagged don't get me wrong, a very good player and leader

completely agree. I was having a go at the AFL not the sydney clubs. The AFL should 100% run and pay for these academies it's an unfair advantage imo. Heeney and Mills are both worthy picks 1s and should have gone to struggling teams

Its a disgrace that Sydney get propped out with equivalent no.1 draft picks when in the top 4 through the acadamies The two sydney teams will be hard to beat over the next 5 years

Bizarre experiment. I thought the season was already too long for the players? why risk injury for this mickey mouse comp?

Great to Hear Viney is back running :-)

if he plays the majority of games he'll get to game 300 (maybe in a GF?!) when he is 32 yo he will sht it in and finish on ~340 games with a Matt Boyd-type couple of seasons in the back half

all relevant points but we only have ourselves to blame. we had early picks in 2007 and 2008 too and screwed them up. anyway best to move on! :-)

Hunt and Hogan to be AA. not sure if that is a 'breakout' worthy but thought id chuck it in

yeah I remember in 2010/2011 when we were going to be the next superpower or "they're gonna be something" the thing that is different is that back then, people thought early draft picks equaled success. Dees had the pick of the draft before GC and GWS came in so everyone thought we would be a good team. Shows how intelligent the media are! now we are talking about young players that have shown elite potential on the field which gives me real hope. and the club has some stability for once. We haven't sacked a coach since Neeld. certainly our most stable period since Daniher

Player B has arms. He uses them to handball as his arms, it seems, is where his hands are located. Can see Goody will have a post coaching career in the Media with his special comments!

Who's the funny looking dude looking at the camera? baggiest shorts since Eddie

Thanks for the photos mate. The main thing that struck me was how much I miss seeing Clarry destroy a stoppage

Bugg beat T Mac! wow! Keep pucnhing Tommy

That's the spirit! Just think we'll have a new rebuild to look forward to in 10 years

you might want to look in the mirror before you call someone else pathetic

haha takes me back to when Lee Dixon scored an own goal over the keeper's head "He's lobbed seaman from 30 yards!"

we don't think Viney will be right to play in 3 and 1/2 months time?

do we have a PR dept at MFC?!?! no matter what the actual story is here the fact that we haven't been able to get a handle on it is a joke. makes you wonder whether the players really did shaft Goody and there is not much we can say

In 4 years time it will be interesting to see how many games, goals and success Watts has had in comparison to Fristck not massively interesting, just a little bit

Bit harsh on Johnstone. from the reports ive read his application and team play have been very good for a kid. good tackles numbers and pressure acts which are massive in todays game. agree that he does not seem to have a natural eye for goal but maybe that will come. not a bad idea to try him down back either RJay

making the finals for the first time in 12 years won't thrill you that much? there is no guarantee we will make finals, improvement is not linear and a lot of teams below/around us will improve too I will be ecstatic if we make the finals
