Quality, quality, quality! Legend, legend, legend! True (red &) Blue. Let the negative clan be drowned out! So important to have blokes with good character attached to the Club in an official capacity. Jonesy has the tenacity to make it work, whatever the role!

What a mess! Kossie not top class? Howes 16 games... but is somehow clogging the list? Sharp yet to be given an opportunity and most recent selection an emergency for the Premiers! Do your homework Turner!

One of the more impressive at Casey. Looked at home in the AFL team. Pace, sure hands and developing by foot.

Most??? I can name them! Have you got five minutes?

So crystal clear! Outstanding summary of the process and roles within the process. Give the (bin)man a cigar!

[censored]!

I am angry! I'm angry at the ongoing regurgitation of the perceived sequence of events under the 'truth' banner. It is destabilising. It becomes fodder for those who can benefit from bringing the club to its knees. The fact that the parents of an AFL player can be 'disgruntled' over a clubs handling of a situation is hardly groundbreaking news. At any point in time a number of parents at each and every club will be disgruntled! Most parents have been disgruntled at some stage over the manner in which their child's school has handled some issue. That doesn't mean that they immediately rip the kid out of the environment and enrol the kid in another school. Outcomes are negotiated. This situation at MFC has been negotiated! I prefer to have faith in those at the club who have participated, rather than join a lynch-mob. I apologise for any disrespect I have shown, but I don't apologise for being angry!

This is your worst effort for some time! You always seem to have ex colleagues and someone, twice removed, who heard something from a reputable source! Oh, yeah! Our 'high demand' was directly related to the lengthy contract Ollie signed, yet you 'spin' it to sound as if the figure was something unreasonable that the Club hastily thought up on the run. Ollie is obviously now very much gruntled with how it sits. You, however, continue to beat a dead horse in your pathetic attempts to stay relevant!

...and some of YOU are so frantically attached to the 'club in crisis' narrative that you have lost 'balance' in a frantic attempt to be seen as one 'in the know'!

Could it be any more clear that Barrett has affiliations with those that are trying to take the Club down!

I think you'll find that bird has flown! "One suspects that he is writing with tongue in cheek."

The club may have handled things better, with hindsight. I'm not sure Christian knew what he wanted. We are told he wanted improvements made. I believe he had opportunities to communicate what these improvements could be. The issues regarding Clayton and Tracca are difficult to interpret. They are long term teammates. I'm sure Christian is aware of the health issues that affect Clayton's behaviours. It is said that he has issues with the way the club processed these behaviours. I suggest there are circumstances here that are beyond Christian's ability to comprehend.

factor in near death experience, isolation, fear of career ending medical issues, family concerns, manager opportunism... need I continue?

The observant consumer may have noticed that I am spraying the site with my 'gut feel' observations on Houston. I'm doing this to mirror the behaviours demonstrated by those that continually jump to conclusions based on here say, and click-bait propositions (that have reached plague proportions in the mainstream). If there is going to be unsubstantiated prediction and personal opinion dressed as news, I choose to create stuff that is Club-positive!

The good old 'head in the sand' phrase that supposedly wipes away all opposition (and guilt) for those who were sucked in to the 'head up your rear end' movement!

Don't tell me anything! Every club has work to do. 8-2 will mend any fences that are essential to keeping the cows in!

I never lost my respect because, having worked in the 'how does media work' field for many years, I don't knee-jerk every time a self-appointed 'expert sports analyst' seeks clicks.

Some of us are prepared to make a prediction without worrying about the facts. Just look at how many experts said we would be without Tracca, Ollie & Kossie in 2025. I've decided to be as dependent on data as they are!

Dan the man seems to flip flop if you ask me! I heard him say that suggestions he wanted to move from PA were wrong, and he was staying! I think we dodged a bullet!

I suggest an 8-2 win/loss will take care of that!

Our reported reputation, yes! The playing list is currently in excellent condition. I expect an 8-2 win/loss position in the first 10 weeks of 2025. I will gloat on a gigantic scale at that point in time. You?

He got the (Colli) wobblies because of the media narrative around our reported chaos! Net score to date: President retired weeks before her required retirement. ANB granted release for family reasons. ............. UMM, nothing further to report, Sir!

It's refreshing to read someone who bases opinion on facts rather than makes sweeping statements about a player's worth.

Jonesy was often underestimated during his playing career... nothing's changed!

"mindlessly", "mismanaged", "basketcase", all emotive, lacking balance, possibly incorrect, definitely counter-productive,
