Umpire Please

What I don’t understand is why in the games that Gawn is so dominant in have a signal that the team knows and prepares for and get Max to punch the ball 30-40m clear and have us run into it. Not every bounce but a couple of times a game. I think it was White did that well when he was at the top of his games for us. Just something different and get it out of the centre for us. Thoughts?

I think many on here are missing the point. They are an event sponsor so what is our B&F Award called The Keith “Bluey” Truscott Memorial Trophy.

I am expecting to see the players go to the PA on Monday and ask not to play against Hawthorn ever again as its to tough on them, just like they did about THE CAMP. Is that positive enough for you?

Last Round last year against Collingwood.

So Soft and we should have seen it coming after the cancellation of "THE CAMP". The Hawks would have been getting in to us about that and we didn't have any comeback just turned up our toes and let them run all over us. I am expecting to see the players go to the PA on Monday and ask not to play against Hawthorn ever again as its to tough on them!!!!!! At least we now know that the secret training session on Thursday waste of F*#cking time. The Hawks had two or three player's injured but they still "tore us apart" in the second half. Soft, dumb footballers who have taken over the Football Department. I feel so sorry for PJ and the Admin team that have done such a wonderful job to get the off field side of the club running so well and in a very good position, but sponsors & members aren't going to stay around if you put that sort of performance on. Next week now becomes a true "CRUNCH GAME" for both players and the coaching panel. Its about time the coaches "grow a pair" and [censored] this bunch of soft want- a- be AFL footballers into line.

Both times we played then last year we had both the Mac’s and Frost in the side. So I think we need to have a plan B & C this time. Cutting out his supply is the key and secondly playing a game that doesn’t bring the umpires in to the game so lots of play on and hitting up our targets in space. As stated on another topic site we have been slaughtered by the umpires every time we play North as they create stoppages and then we give up the free or turn over.

I think we will soon hear that the club has signed another sponsor who ties in well with the name of our B&F trophy!

They didn’t give up! Held an expected top 4 team to only 17points in the second half!(pity about the other 80 in the first) ANB’s 50m snap goal!

Not so sure we can play that way in 28c temp and pouring rain! That’s the expected weather in Brisbane for next Saturday. The Sunshine Coast camp training might come into play.

I watched it last year and we are starting the same this year. We don't judge the flight and /or drop of the ball well as a total team. Today Geelong out marked us by nearly 50!!! Yes I know there were a few good ones but over the whole game and across the team I see this as a weakness that has not been addressed in the off season.

Agree totally!

Maybe we should approach ENDOTA Spa as sponsers for next season?? What a pack of soft c@$ks. I wonder how many of our players will be reported for retaliating from the sledging they will get from the opposition players. Not sure we should be calling ourselves the Demons any more.

Garland?

I remember this game because I left early thinking it was over for us. My daughter who was 7 at the time had to get to a girlfriends sleep over. So I left thinking it was another lost and season over. Didn’t listen to it on the radio on the way home. Went through the front door and my wife Said “your home early after such a great win” Never forgave myself for that one. Watched the reply many times.

Just read on the AFL site that Jake is still training with Melbourne teammates. Any chance that we pick him up as a rookie? He knows us and we know him. Played well when he got his chance last year.

Yes good test for the boys and the FD given we gave away our best kick at the trade. He was BOG for us last time we played the moggies.

Agree 100% needs to get back to AA status then he can go back on the Footy Shows!!!!

Sad fact is that with the way the game had gone we will never see another Jakovich. Look at his Body shape and no engine. Wouldn't have made it through the draft. He was the good old style stay within the 50m area of his goals forward. None of this pass off stuff, he knew he was there to kick goals and didn't he love doing it. Some thing I wish At least one of our forwards will do next session.

Agree 100% and throw Hogan in there as well. Goodwin and the FD have to get these players deep into the Finals next year or We should be expecting his job and several of the others in the FD to be on the line. NO MORE EXCUSES!!! The way this has played out with JW he must have been a festering trouble maker that has retarded the whole playing group and is the number one reason MFC missed the finals this year. Well Goodwin and your cohorts he is gone so no excuses. We don't care if Gawn gets injured, Pedo has a bad day, Hogan is beating himself up in the pocket, Jones is being his selfish best,Vince, Viney, Bugg & Lewis are out for striking the Mac boys are turning the ball over and can't hit a target, no excuses no Watts to blame, finals or you should resign.

Looks like we will also be paying for part of his salary. Thanks FD!! Is he that much trouble to the club that we are going to trade him for a low pick and also pay the other Club to take him?? Sorry MFC but I don't pay my Redlegs membership to see Port Win a flag before us. I cannot understand why he is up for trade. To me it shows bad people management from the FD.

Yes agree as who was Hogan's mentor when he first arrived at the MFC .............Mitch Clark

Why would the club just resign Hains Paint as a sponsor with Watts the face of them on the club wedsite, then trade him out. Not saying anyone is not tradable if the right offer comes up but just doesn't add up to me.

No I suggested to the club we should have cashed in on the Cheese board photo's and media coverage and got one of the big Cheese company as a sponsor??

Posted after the filth loss that we are losing AHG. They are pulling out of alll national team sponsorships and putting money into local dealerships who sponsor local teams. The club has 4 options they are working on.
