Thanks Dr. Gonzo round 15 vs Swans we looked flat footed and woeful, Round 16 vs Collingwood we were world beaters full of run, funny game footy.

Concussion protocols Dazzle, non contact.

I think still under concussion protocols, same as Petty.

MFC text saying Culley will have surgery tomorrow and have quoted four week recovery time as expecting he will be able to maintain his current fitness levels.😁

I believe he has moved to SA wwsw.

Thanks Demonland (Trent Kneise Report), Lace Out Larry, Dees051321, Gator, all posters and Special Comments, lot of great reports and action videos, real bummer losing Jai Culley (hopefully not long term). Another great thread today. 😁👍

Ouch, ouch and OUCH.!!!

Did the match Sim finish when Jai left the field, not a murmur since he came off??

Don’t worry I’m praying it’s a collarbone, I had one Round 1 ‘73 country football, painful but not totally debilitating back I six weeks.😁

You are right Macca only one pundit picked us to make the eight in 2021.

Another huge thanks to Demonland, DeeSpencer, thirty-one, WayneWussell, DannyZ, Back pocket, Fritta and Turner, Kev, Harvey Wallbanger, all posters and Special Comments. What a great effort from all involved so much information to digest, enjoy and think about. JV & Shane McAdam LTI’s, picket fence dislike of Chin. We are getting closer to the real stuff now, so much to look forward to over the coming weeks.

Last year we lacked small forwards to support Kozzie and Chandler, we seem to have covered that with LSP and Tommy Mathews. In defence we need AMW, CJ, Salo and possibly Xavier Taylor who was touted as a tough defender who can play tall or short to all step into the breach. Could Ricky Mentha or Bill Laurie go back? One thing for sure we will find out how good and adaptable our coaching group are when we play Hawks and Lions.😁👍

Great to see they have officially announced Penrite as a Major sponsor with a two year deal and the fact they were founded in 2026, a MFC Premiership year.

Thanks Go Ds I am really hoping that our Ins > Outs, apart from Tracc. Can King & Co improve our list in ‘26, that is the burning question. Judging from the Training Reports I am in the affirmative corner, no bottom four for me, it’s pushing for 9-10th for me at this point in time barring a run of injuries.

It is difficult Picket when a player annoys you it’s hard to look past the annoyance to see their virtues but I think that Kade Chandler has a great tank and a lot of tools to work with, he also sleeps, eats and breathes team first ethics and Can mark and kick.

Very detailed analysis questions 1-5, would appreciate questions 6-15 if someone can post it.😁👍

Thanks Dr. Gonzo we were very poor against Saints in poor conditions but our play on at all costs style came unstuck and we looked a bit off in our round 9 encounter. Plus saints starting to build some real star power in their team.

So basically Harrison Petty has been written off as neither a Fwd nor Defender, I am a bit quizzical as to what Steven King and his coaching fraternity do with Petty, May and Lever. Will we see our 2021 much vaunted Backline all playing down at Casey.😁👍

Thanks Dr. Gonzo what a brilliant hard fought win over Hawks 15.21 vs 13.12 nearly kicked ourselves out of it until Williams chipped in 3 in the last. What a team of champions we were up against.

Thanks Dr. Gonzo we were on a roll, kicking really let us down against bummers, ‘88 was a great year right up until the granny.

Great win Vs Doggies it was as fast and furious Rodney would have deeply regretted that late hit on Terry Wallace’s jaw. Haunted him to the end of his career.🥲

Greg I feel that you are being overly harsh on Steven May, I watch every game and I thought May was one of our most reliable down back. I have checked his Wheely ratings and they back up my thoughts, ie Games - 16 TOG - 93.9% disposals - 17.7 efficiency- 86.2% Marks - 7.1 / game Intercepts - 2.8 Spoils - 5.3 / game He missed games due to injury and being incorrectly reported. His 1v1 is 1.9 or 66%, whatever comes out he well and truely warranted and earnt his spot in 2025.

Yes thats how I read it Hardtack, a bit conceited I thought.

I’m in total agreement with Tracc he leaves a huge hole in our midfield, we will have to work harder and smarter to try and offset that loss SONS. I would like to add that it was you and WJ that first alerted me to Harvey Langford in 2024, and I, like a lot of others was all over the draft hoping for Langford at Pick 6. I feel like we won the trifecta with Windsor, Langford and now Taylor along with Tholstrup, Lindsay and Latrelle Sumner-Pickett.😁👍

Thanks for that research ET I guess AFL is a good way to get Brand Recognition, maybe we are on a percentage of their sales, not sure how it works with a Start Up company. Does it have to have AFL approval?
