I'd ban you for this negative crapp and the continual abuse and bullying of Watts. And it's nothing personal against you.

It just fascinates and disappoints me that MFC supporters can't get behind him and feel the need to continually belittle and denigrate him. It's mean spirited and totally contrary to being a supporter. 

Reality is probably that he's neither as bad as many make out or as good as some suggest. But he's got personal characteristics that leave many here for dead and he diserves so much better than what this forum regularly dishes up. 

Fact is he is on our list. He will get a game if the coaches think he deserves one. He may flourish in a better team or he may lose his place. I don't know what will happen but I hope he succeeds.

but what I do know is this site should have the balls to put an end to the continual abuse and bullying of this player. Everybody's had their say, let's see what happens. 

well bbob,  this indifference to our supporters is the very reason you should NEVER be anywhere near our off field clubs activities...  you would further distance the club & supporters,  taking the club to the brink,  instead of listening, hearing, & growing.

I certainly hope you haven't had a hand in our past, as I think you show an arrogance with others that would only hurt a sporting club,  & if it spread thru the clubs playing group, could add to the club becoming what it is now trying to clear out.

Hmmn,   what, Jack Watts in 2016 ???????      

oh yeah.....

Jones has been carrying the same bucket around for years.

I'm hoping they were focusing more on running through sand.

I hope it toughens up, or sorts out, those who give up just a bit too easy..

....... we need to know the weak links.   melbourne has a weakness of getting dirty, & doing the dirty stuff when needed.   'too choirboy',,,, this needs to cut off & shipped out.

The workload & hunger for,,,  will grow,  once the neat & tidy choir boy types have left the building,  & we can develop a real hard & hungry culture at the club...  Jones is our top of the line, as the tough hard worker.

we don't need those who make excuses,  for not doing this or that, onfield.

# edit the hard running is taught/done at the other camps & at the QLD camp...  this was about the mental side of things, which they just don't want to do.

Three of them are in white caps, the one that looks like he is made of alabaster is CO.

 

sorry S6S, your right there are many white caps,  so I see the one i'm talking about is COliver... now can you tell me the taller one, skinny kid, please?

oliver looks as I would expect in close shot,  but smaller than expected other side of pack, when with the ball... I hope that makes him slippery around packs.

I think we have already mastered that one over the last 10 years.

 

we may have;;;   they're talking about the players,  to be able to reach the depths of deespair, & pick themselves up & get going again.

Let it go, Jurrah was a disaster. We could have had Rockliff......

we've tended to go for the 'flashy' over hard & tough workers at the dees, or have done in the past.

lets hope better footy judges will prevail for our futures sakes, & our supporters well-beings.

Great to see that distinguished climate scientist Lord Monkton getting a guernsey.

 

the list is actually a bit short on Aussie climate scientists - some dude from the IPA (and we all know what their agenda is) Bill Kininmoth, who is a retired meteorologist.

 

bit surprising to me is their rather unscientific certainty that they are right (for example, stating that Sandy was not caused by human factors)  Any decent scientist would say something like "on the evidence available, it is unlikely that...."  Not unlike Black Saturday  - you can't be sure that it was caused by global warming, but equally you can't be sure that it was not  

 

my basic stance: we need to do something. If the deniers are right, we will at least have reduced the amount of pollution in the atmosphere. If they are wrong, and we do nothing, our children will face a catastrophe

Sounds good. I thought our preseason could do with a bit of this kind of stuff to mix it up a bit.

the more Roosy & the other coaches find out about their weaknesses & strengths, the better... weed 'em out one by one. the way to go.

I feel cleansed.

Woewodin is doing a solid apprenticeship and may get a crack at senior coaching eventually. For some reason can't see Green or Bruce making it beyond assistants - probably because I didn't rate their on field leadership.

I wouldn't let any player from between 98 - 2014 anywhere near a Mfc whiteboard.

That's really unfortunate. I think most airlines can be pretty awful when it comes to customer service. It's just the luck of the draw in my opinion. I flew with them in 2011 from Vietnam and it was a pretty pleasant flight. The plane was old, but surprisingly more comfy than the newer models. 

.....  at least they should be safe flying through the South China Sea area ?   as long as they can keep the wings on the plane

I guess you weren't planning on any snorkeling around the Spratly Island group on the way,  AMTAW

Back in another 17 pages or so.

probably about as many electrons as there are bubbles in beer,  don't know about the target,  he's the only one with the power over his electrons,  & so far they're as flat as pizza on a plate.
