  1. FMD Cheney is validating MFC list managers more and more as this game goes on
  2. Hogan looks underdone
  3. [censored] ON YA DOM!!
  4. Judging by the flow of play you wouldn't know we're a goal up. Absolutely butchering the Fwd 50 entries
  5. The joint is cooked - barely up to AFL standard
  6. 6. Gawn 5. Brayshaw 4. Oliver 3. Hogan 2. Fritsch 1. Salem
  7. Tyson for Murphy and a pick was the strong mail around the place this arvo
  8. Been getting a game based on reputation. Last night BT and Hamish kept saying he loves the big stage and was 'made for Friday night footy' - and this morning many of the commentators seem to have woken up to the fact that he's been taking the p155 for months now.
  9. What's Tyson got to do with this? We get that he's off the pace but he's not like-for-like with Lewis, Vince or even Hunt, who really stunk it up in the AFL side earlier this season by the way
  10. Needs to stop drinking his own bathwater and going back for seconds
  11. Spot on Jaded. Tyson was probably undroppable a year or two ago and like it or not he was recalled after shredding it to bits back at Casey. Now let's not get bogged down in the whole Tyson thing, but the narrative from Goodwin around selfless, respectful, team oriented etc. etc. seems to contradict the Match Committee's unwillingness or inability to send these selection messages to big names
  12. Bartlet is on MMM Hot Breakfast right now discussing the proposed Yarra Park training complex and also the Pert appointment

    A close friend of mine knows Pert through being in the CFC coterie and personally before that. Some of the stories about that period at the filth are interesting to say the least. I'd like to think that he now feels like h has a point to prove and has learned from errors in the past. I did not see this coming. The mail doing the rounds is that PJ was shut out of the process, to the extent that he'd sought to background some scribes around town of the discontent amongst some with how the process was unfolding. That could prove to be apocryphal. In any case, I'm willing to back in Bartlet's judgement until proven otherwise
  14. CJ5 just named Jack as the no. 1 tough nut in the league on Footy Classified
  15. Agreed. He's now gone past others on our list and has been a beneficiary of the general increase in standards across the board of performances over the past month

    Ah yes! Welcome back to this thread. I've been looking for ward to this time of year to roll around for a while now, although after Froome's result last night I'm not sure what to think anymore... Now with all the one day classics done, it's time for the big GC's and we're in for a good couple of month's I think!
  17. Tradebait at the end of the year? Maybe. But at this point of the year I simply ask this question - if not Tyson, then who else? Who's spot in our best 22 could it be reasonably said that Tyson is taking up right at this point?
  18. This might have already been covered in this thread, but was there any season launch type even this year? I've attended the last four years and kept an eye out this year but haven't seen anything (unless I missed it...)
  19. Is AHG not re-signing an actual thing yet or just a bit of bluster at this stage? Visions of 2012 when The Reach Foundation was front of jumper sponsor with MFC unable to come to any agreements with potential suitors (albeit following the Energy Watch debacle). Schwab likened it to UNICEF on the front of Barcelona FC if I recall correctly.
  20. Weekend away with the lovely in two weeks, rather than flying to Adelaide
  21. Paid up MCC/MFC subs two weeks ago, like many others on here I was assuming this would be put to use at least once over the next month... I'll reassess the MFC part come trade week now me thinks
  22. Correct weight, Petrac. First Demon to kick 7 in a game since Robbo in Round 11, 2007.

    For those of us out there who think that too much sport is never enough, and who could blame you after today, Amstel Gold is on tonight! In the Fog's opinion, Simon Gerrans in worthy of close attention tonight. This race, as much as any, looks prime for his taking!
