I know it's so wrong but if ever an argument for Eugenics was to be right, this photo would do the trick.

Clubs should not call out about the umpiring standard. That said this was such a a disgraceful effort by the maggots...Im sorry...professional umpires.... in the pies game, that an exception needed to be made. It clearly cost us four points and our finals hopes. If it's not the pies taking out one of our players, it's now the umpires seemingly chipping in, to help out. I used to think the crowd noise was often a factor in swaying decisions. Against the pies there were so many dodgy calls when this wasn't a factor. So, I cannot find any legitimate reason why the standard was so poor. It ruined a great day of footy on such a special occasion. Great work you maggots.

MFC supporters are clearly a class above the rest. Fine food, good automobile appreciation, fine wines and clothing. Enjoyment of the high country and less booing.

Our manic bombing it in is so counterintuitive given our lack of players who can take a pack mark. We are also missing players who used to crumb well in Spargo and Nibbler. Chin has dropped off in this area too so it's so frustrating. I hope we try something different with our fwd line but I have no idea what that could be. Maybe isolating Kozzie at ff for a few cameos

Two weeks for that.

Kozzie to destroy them.

Ok Lucky socks. Lucky jocks. Dons franks. Here we go.

I am concerned not just about Power having two more days to rest but the fact that the pies games was pretty intense and probably zapped us of our strength. Then again after playing what seemed like a manic finals type game, we could find the Port team pressure to be soft. Here's hoping. Mathematically we are still a chance but it's down to strange and unlikely permutations and combinations from now on.

Nothing but points always disappoints..... I've got nothing.

His kicking used to be pretty suspect. I'm glad he's got better. He's faced some significant challenges in his life for sure. He's well liked.

And he also had a decent lull in his career after he left.

This missing makes me feel so better.

They couldn't...could they? Nup.

In cricket nomenclature it's catches win matches. What is the equivalent in footy parlance?

Typical knee [censored] reaction.

Yikes...Lions make us look like sharpshooters.

Speaking of Spud' s era... This is a wonderful photo of two ex vfl players listening to the 1944 gf in Dutch New Guinea as it was then called.

Good call DD

I wish we had a Hogan type player with us. Oh wait. Four marks in the first. Nothing but the best of luck to him and i reckon all Dlanders feel the same.

Ouch.

I reckon May would kill it as a fwd. He is probably one of our strongest players in sheer physical strength. He's probably not that fast but apart from Max, would be our best at taking pack marks. But at 34 next year, he's not really our future gun fwd. He holds his ground better than Petty does. Although I have noticed Petty has been getting a little better in this area. Petty is faster but he seems to get caught out of position too often and the pies games was an example of his opponent getting in front of him. Maybe with Petty being a natural defender, he is used to playing from behind so he's struggled to overcome this. Petts does have reasonable acceleration for a bloke his height. Petty does get the ball to ground often enough but I just want a forward who can take more marks and convert well. And Petty would probably be better than May crumbing. But May reminds me of the old fashioned mold of a full fwd with mass and power but fitter. May, Fritta and Melksham firing in our fwd line would be ideal for me. Speaking of our fwd line, I think Sparrow when he does play, should always be in our fwd line. Going off topic but I don't think Sparrow gives enough return in any midfield role. Sparrow is a strong mark for his size and can kick long and accurately.

It's definitely a mind set. Often you see it in a game when the yips go through the entire team. But for us, it's been an ongoing case for a long time. I'm sure all.the players are always thinking about it and so it goes. I'm sure the club has tried various things to fix it. But we need all the help we can get.
