True to some degree beelzebub but my take is that the Media Assault on the MFC and then the in-fighting regarding our board and Mr Lawrence in 2024 convinced a lot of people including some on here that the MFC should be burnt down. That would have influenced the uninformed and even some rusted on members to jump ship in their droves.

Another big thanks to Ghostwriter, Startibartfast and all posters and special comments, loved the training and personal reports and in such cold and miserable conditions. Sounds like the boys are fit healthy and energised and I’m looking forward to both games on Saturday. GW you need to be commended, I hope you had a cup of your special coffee from your special vendor. 👍😁❤️💙

Thanks Fritta and Turner that is good news, like the sound of Luker another 194cm fwd, playing CHB at present, doesn’t turn 20 until September and could be another swingman like TMac, Petty and Turner. Like that he plays aggressively.

Not sure GS_ Zero Hangar - “Football smarts, pace and efficient ball use”, likened to Hugh McCluggage, high praise indeed. My feeling is that The Duke had an injury interrupted pre season and was then sent to half back a position that he is not familiar with and he hasn’t mastered and personally I hope they don’t keep persisting.

Hope it’s not blowing a gale at your’s GW like it is here in Doreen. lol.👍😁

McKay would be a great get but for the life of me I cannot see how we could get it done. Bergman sounds like a no brainer but our success in securing trades has fallen away over recent times, not feeling confident with our ability to trade to our advantage. Like a number of others in this site I would Prefer to see JT given a lot more opportunity to draft using more 2nd and 3rd picks.

Thanks Andy, George and Binman for another great podcast and also all contributors, a great read and listen. I was still feeling a bit flat about our loss to Port and the fact that we kicked it to Rata 13 times, a player that I have never rated. I enjoyed Binman comments on Kozzy, I felt the same way like a big happy kid when he signed and his electric 1st half was scintillating stuff. So much effort and dominance in the 3rd capped off with such poor kicking.

I believe that Peter Walsh was one of those players that we all loved but also took his work rate and courage for granted as we were to focussed on the stars that were playing with him at the time.

He’s getting plenty of game time practice.😁👍

Big shout out to Ghostwriter, Harvey Wallbanger and Kev Martin greatly appreciated also all posters and special comments. Agree with GW hope that Will Verrall does get a run, he frees Rooey up to do what we recruited him for, also hoping to see Riv and Spaz get a lot more out of themselves over the next 9 games. Great to hear the boys are back out in the track.

Thanks DD it is quite sobering that Max has gone from No.2 to 1, Clarry has clawed his way back to No.2 and a battered Tracc has worked his way back to No.3 and Bowsa 4, Kozzie leapt to 7th and turner, Lindsay, Langford, Windsor, Howes and Chandler all wedged into our top 23.

My view is that Ed Langdon is a specialist winger, play maker, taking him off the wing to play a high h/f role is creating a net loss for the team. I would prefer Windsor rotate with Langford wing/hf, not many can emulate Ed Langdon and the Duke is stagnating. Fix it Goody, Chunk, Bassett ASAP.

Thanks DD we looked cooked and these stats bare that out, Tracc, Claz,JV, Rick, Salo, Ed Langdon, Riv, the Duke, Melky and Petty all below par at the same time. It’s obviously contagious, performance management has taken a real dip. I would have liked to be a fly on the wall at the after game meeting after that game. Very unusual for Ed Langdon and Riv has fallen off a cliff.

Is anyone aware of why Marcus decided to leave on the eve of the AFLW season or where he might be headed, seems to have been a bit of movement in the AFL over the last month or so.

Toby Sinnema is looking the goods, can’t have to much pace and skill on the list, hope we can get him WJ.

Those stats for MFC are the harsh reality of 2007-2017, 2019-2020 and so far in 2025. We really do have to fight our way back to relevance, we have had so little of it.

Ha ha ha this didn’t age well did it, everything from AFL has stunk it up. Where are all these people going, it’s like deck chairs on the Titanic???

That is high praise indeed, let’s all hope that Harvey can maintain this level of football for the second half of the year. However, all indications are that Harvey Langford is every bit as good as we all anticipated. 😁👍

Agree we need to continue to strengthen our list but our star players are contracted and still playing good footy, we just have to utilise them better whilst getting games into those player that the FD believe have the talent and desire to make it.

I’m not worried about Media Madness, I am more worried about DLand madness, our three highest ranking players in 2025 are Gawn, Oliver and Tracc and by some margin. True Tracc is 13% down on his 2024 form where he was in dominant form prior to his life threatening injury however, all in all he isn’t far off his previous level and now we want to trade him. He was our highest ranking player Vs Pies, WTF are people thinking????

Andy M-W is looking very agile and strong with 6 months to get full fitness back look forward to seeing him runaround in 2026. Well done Andy.

He’s got my vote GW.😁👍

Call me naiv’e , stubborn, loyal or what you like, Our Great FC is on the verge of securing an Elite Training and Administration centre within a 10km radius of the CBD that will meet our needs for our foreseeable future. The fact that they have identified a more suitable location for our administration centre on the Caulfield site reassures me that this exercise is on track and until our club advises us all that this is no longer the case, I wait in full anticipation of a successful announcement and I shall not revisit this site until this occurs.😁👍

I know Dr. Gonzo my grandson was looking at me strangely when I approached the TV on Sunday and yelled aim for the bloody right hand goal post Max it’s not that hard but no Max knows best. Later everyone was saying get Petty down back and he takes a great mark 35m out and I yelled that’s why he is playing forward, my middle daughter said he hasn’t kicked it yet, bang another point, so grandad what about Petty. lol. I sat down and shut up.!!!

Now Redleg is a source that I do trust.
