rolling fog

By now we've surely figured out Thomas' game plan here. Release an opinion on Sunday/Monday to try and get some traction going to into Footy Classified on Monday night...otherwise how does he remain relevant? Neeld was handed a rabble, and that was all before the events of the last ~month. Sadly I think the rubbish, such as this from Thomas, is set to continue throughout the the season. Particularly around gauging each week's performance with being able to suitably honour Jimmy's memory. If Neeld can see his way through the next ~6 months, and he will, he will be able to see off anything. From here on he, and henceforth the club, will be stronger.

Petterd to start! Discuss...

Firstly, I'm quite proud to be a supporter and member of a club which is seemingly never in the headlines for the wrong reasons and I hope it stays that way. Furthermore, we (the greater MFC organisation) is not a halfway house. But, that said and that which ha sbeen said here previously, there are things which are bigger than football. I would like to think, although I'm not holding out much hope, that Fev has had a true wake up call and he can shone some light on the cruel mistress that is a professional football career and that it can be taken away in the blink of an eye, nothing lasts forever. Most importantly though, it must not come at the sacrifice of young 18-25 y.o. developing tal forwards.

Scull would be a big loss, theres no denying that. However, yes, I agree that we could adapt. I think it's important to acknowledge that this isn't a one way street that we need to convince Scull to stay at a club with genuine finals and premiership prospects over the next 3-5 years. Put another way, would Scully leaving MFC close/delay/diminish his premiership window? I know this is all very presumptuous and he is still very young but GWS aren't an entirely known quantity yet, well not until NAB cup anyway.

It's a case of 1000+ journalists accredited by the AFL to cover football and there being no football to cover. I sincerely hope this doesn't deteriorate into the Ablett vs Thompson vs Costa vs Cook vs GFC Members farce of 2011. I for one am proud to be a member of a club which doesn't waste column inches in such a way, just as we never see Davey or Green getting their drink on in down town Hong Kong - a bit OT, I know, sorry .

Yeah I always get the same feeling...but if it had to be anyone non-MFC I'm glad its crawf - he's probably my favourite non-mfc player. A great player and a top bloke

Yeah totally agree. I don't think this will end well.

Yeah doggy was there, great to see all those guys there...the end of that late 90's group fostered by daniher...ahh the memories

you can't get anything of real substance unless you have fox sports or don't mind staying up to watch footy classified.

Yze (1)(2)(5) Bruce and Green trade bait

*contested ball *opposition pressure, namely offensive pressure auzzie wozzie is really getting the job done atm!

Oh what a champion and true clubman. Anything for the return of the days of Stynes, Viney, Neita, Stinger, Cells etc. etc. Queens B'Day farewell for sure

Hes on $415,000 per season according to dreamteam. White is the second highest paid ruckman in the league, after cox, on 430k while Yze is somehow on approx. 320k. I know these fugures aren't bonafide but still, they are indicative of their presumed value

'Crackers' Keenan said on the radio this morning that he believed that Gardner is going to step down sometime next week to make way for a wealthy, or has considerable backing from somewhere, past player. He wasn't too specific and thats all I caught, anyone heard anything further? or to the contrary?

Jolly's not going anywhere

So true - reckless endangerment

surely Pagan warrants a spot somewhere?...at least level with ND.

The closet thing we are going to get to a GF victory...for now anyway

haha yeah - watching the game on 10 on mute and listening to MMM (the only way to watch footy) - Garry is stoked :D

Thanks for clearing up rogue

Attn Mods: I think its appropriate that the thread title be changed to '2007 MIDFIELD MEDAL' Award prerequisites: Be within a maximum of 10 metres away from the ball at all stoppages. B)

was this the story that was posted under the thread name "breaking story involving afl players" yesterday...or several days ago, which i missed as usual

Haha...hadn't thought of that. If robbo polls the best/very well for us it either means: 1) You dont need to be a midfielder 2) You need to be a big name and lesser knowns (junior, jones) have no hope 3) Our midfield is overrated and/or goes unnoticed

What are your tips for the brownlow??...Obviously the generic Ablett jnr, Bartel and Cornes x2 names are going to come up? Who will poll best for MFC? Junior imo...although his flamboyance or lack thereof could be detrimental. Theres always trapper, bruce etc. cheers,
