In Harmes Way

I reflect back to 2012 and the club was on its knees, was why I started my membership journey as a contribution lest we lose the club altogether. And in my member feedback surveys I’d comment we were irrelevant. This makes me so proud - the club isn’t just sitting on its hands counting up the members, they’re an integral part of our community and giving back in spades. Relevance personified. I hope the Davey family have a rare day in the sun and the boys play out of their skins for them. Well done MFC.

As well as Petty out which is why I think you’re in the money

For us to win this one by 40+ as some optimistic posters believe, I reckon we would need to hold them to 6 goals for the game. Can’t see that happening but I’d love it.

I love Kossie too. Can we clap at the 36 minute mark of the first quarter for him too? (I also love this initiative for Clarry)

How about the AFL come out and explain why this wasn’t paid the mark FFS.

Richmond included practice games in the Balta ban, so they must be valid!

Can you give me another clue?

Whilst I don't have Disco and May at the "same same" level, and we looked shaky late in the game last week with May on the bench; I guess in some respects you pick the team against the opposition you're facing. Given the eagles only have Waterman and the young Archer Reid as their two key talls, I guess this stacks up as a strategy. Having JVR in as a second ruck option def has merit and good to reward his good form last week in the twos.

If this were to happen binnie then I'd be questioning this move - atm we have May, TMac and Disco as the three key defenders and Petty, Fritsch and Melksham as three key forwards. Removing May from the equation leaves us IMO a bit short defensively and congests the forward line - unless we moved Petty back which I'd be loathed to do.

Long time no see/read Jaded. Welcome back! Love that you're rightly protecting the redheads.

How did you know last year this week would be a danger game?

Down to the bay for recovery on Sunday?

news‘Disaster’: West Coast players hold ‘intervention’ amid g...Leaders of the West Coast playing group have reportedly held an “intervention” in a bid to turn around its woes after the worst start to an AFL season in the club’s history.Didn't really read like they're galvanised. More rusted to pieces.

Thought WCE in the highlights package from last week's game really dropped their collective heads. Their first three goals which was pretty much a half of footy was based on two mistakes from Hawthorn and a long range effort from Waterman. I'd like to think that if we learn from their past games we should be in front far enough at 3QT that our last quarter fade outs hopefully won't be a factor.

He was brought in to replace the injured Melksham

From my perspective, the CEO is running a $60 million business as well as overseeing a $30 million future fund and a further $9.5 million funding for the Caulfield project. He has a team of GM's and managers that oversee day to day management of the business from delivery of the football program through to sensible investment of the future fund to generate returns and overseeing project delivery for Caulfield including stakeholder management. I don't need a CEO that can run a sub 8 minute 2km time trial or kick off both sides of his body. I need him to ensure his team feels empowered, has all the resources they need to succeed and hopefully delivers an operating profit at the end of the financial year.

The way they protected Ginnivan when everybody was at him as a flopper playing for free kicks, only to turn on him after he left for Hawthorn was hilarious

Bit of a pain trying to get a javelin launcher onto a packed train in the way home

I heard this a couple of years back in the top deck at Marvel, and have even rolled it out myself as well. Agree it never gets old He other one I heard and liked was in a day game when a bloke yelled out “turn the lights on, I want to see more of this” (wasn’t this year!!)

He's got some nice leading patterns which I never really saw from Jack Watts.

That's definitely not me. I'm the guy critiquing the umpires "That's not a mark" "That's not 15" BALLLLLLLLLL! "You've got to pay them both ways" "FFS" "There used to be one umpire who's doing a better job than these 4" Kosssieeeeeee! "They need to get rid of the insufficient intent rule, that call was b*[censored]" "Kick a goal son! How good was that!"

Phenomenal result considering the scores were level at quarter time.

Don't disagree, but how good did the forward 50 zone look last week with just Kossie in it?

Hoping we build more confidence in the new game style and really take the game on. It was great to watch last week, and we could really get on a roll with further belief it's working.
