We'd have to return to a consistent patch of form not seen since r22-SF 2018. I'm not getting any hope or expectation up in that regard. Fully expect 2/2 or 1/3. And 0/4 is far more likely than 4/4

Given our new baseball style MFC logo, how about a dug out with the full list sitting in there chewin gum in their trackies waiting to be subbed in. I've watched too many basebal. movies over the years, and there's a heap of good ones! Before people interject with the 'stop Americanising footy' - I'm not being serious! Although 6 would be my preference going forward.

Damn. You've re-ignited the debate Balls. "Do you want to see Bennell kick 5 and pick up 30 possessions in a Norm Smith granny with no crowd?" No crowd screaming and mexican waving a Beeeeeee-NNnnnneeeeellllllll chant in the last 5 mins before the siren and rendition of a grand old flag as our players embrace as premiers. ?? Nice thought.

Bigger bench size to accommodate Petracca's thighs?

We are the Dees who say Nl

Meh, just a reference to the Hutchy jab at Maxy and Goodys beanie looking more silly. You may resume the sophisticated late night discussion of training analytics

Goody looks like more of a clown in that pom pom beanie than Maxy or Salem with the bleached hair ?

Should be 4-1 based on the form of a month of footy 20 months ago? ?

If a 2020 end of year sacking and payout produced a finals turnaround in 2021 with a new coach, how much would that recoup losses on a payout? Especially if you compare it to holding on too long and Goody writing off our 2021 season and being sacked anyway with a smaller payout. ??

This forum has been debating the topic a lot longer than when Gary Lyon said it. Heck, Goodys coaching (high press goal leakage out the back, lack of outside pace, honeypot mentality and inside 50 conversion) has all been under the microscope even before our famous finals run, for years now. You'd know that if you posted on DL..

We did not reach it

Just cancel the 2020 season so I don't have to spend another 6 months reading about our poor inside 50 conversion.

This is currently a top 8 poll though so i doubt you'll handle a top 5 ?

Play it in the Cook Islands as they are the 1st to declare themselves Covid19 free. ?

I can only see a handful of Grinter based usernames voting for him in solidarity ?

Tunnell Ball!! To be fair to Fitzy, he was just ahead of the curve, waiting for the rules committee to catch up.

And ironically, to counterpoint those downplaying the big men, it took a prelim masterclass from a giant controlling the air with contested grabs to topple Richmond for the only time in 3 seasons. Mason Cox exposing Rance was the key difference. He's not there, and the Toiges climb their way back from a 4 or 5 goal smaller margin. He absolutely dominated him.

It was all about Panasonic Cups in those days.

Why? Some sort of agreeememt with the big wigs sitting in that awful solitary megatron stand towering over the plebs on the commentary side wing?

Why are we always playing finals at Waverley in 87/88 ?

If we would have had Luke Hodge and Buddy Franklin then yes. Although first we need Croad to trade to Freo.

One of the best games ive ever seen us win alongside the 94 win against Carlton with my dad. I find that bitter sweet though, as its kind of embarrassing that these are the quintessential wins of my 30 years barracking, and no grand final wins etc Stunned to put it mildly, a fight broke out on the ponsford upper level after the siren. I assume it was a livid blue not used to having a finals win not served up on a silver platter and a gloating demon fan giving it to them after they prob gave it to them all 1dt half We had a ceiling that was well below EFC unless we learnt how to FLOOD them, which in retrospect, we shouldve done. We were beneath them as a collective and did not have enough football talent to negate any physicality they imposed. I mean with all due respect to our defense, but does: 26 Daniel Ward 27 Anthony Ingerson 44 Alistair Nicholson HB: 42 Peter Walsh 28 Matthew Collins 21 Steven Febey Look at all like a premiership defense? Honest battlers that give it their all, but were blown out of the water. I know our forwards didnt give much of a yelp, but they were simply matched up well with a competent defense. And our mids gave it their all too but we just could not stem the tide when they had too much strength on every line inspite of any thuggery Out gunned pure and simple, nothing to do with balls. You dont get to a GF without balls.

I recall at one stage Norm Smith winner Peter Matera, and Tingay were the two best wings in the competition before the position lost its fashion

Jako would be murdered by zone defenses, STINGA could still get a game on our wing. STINGA
