  1. So I won't be satisfied for a few days if we go out. After that - I will reflect on the facts in that we: finished 9th last year, didn't go out in straight sets, will be around the mark for a few more years, and a loss will put more fire in the belly for 2022.

    So we don't need to trade anyone to Freo directly, we just need to pass on the pick we will get from a Weid trade deal plus a future first rounder plus some fancy footwork to move the first rounder up the order a touch ... all done! A Bedford, Chandler, Baker, or Lockhart (all doing well at VFL level) might also see an opportunity in a younger developing team elsewhere that we can leverage in a small way. He is also uncontracted and so Freo have a touch less leverage. In the end, if he wants to come to us there are ways. Its more about whether we have the cash to splash.

    So Jack did himself no favours by only achieving basic afl fitness and below par intensity. All of which were in his control. With his elite talents he should have had a better career regardless of mfcs poor development programs
  4. Very even performance tonight, if only it was at the G. Simply awesome again! The only significant error made was at the selection table, leaving out Hibberd who would have been able to better subdue Cameron.
  5. So reading between the lines, he still doesn't want to sign up ... possibly declaring his hand just before the commencement of trade period. The suggestion that he is waiting to see who the coach is doesn't stack up either as the the pies will be appointing an untried coach i.e. McCrae
  6. May's interview on SEN during the week was as good as any I listened to, and then this! Wow!
  7. Please spare us, we all know too well

    Can be our medical sub on grand final day!
  9. Agree ... so we would get an aging one dimensional mid and hold back the likes of jordan, sparrow, and even harmes to a degree ... no thanks
  10. Unusual to be taking so long ... for this reason only, it makes we wonder whether there is some form of mediation going on
  11. Looked like a seasoned big last night at 19 years of age ... haven't seen that since Neitz came on the scene ... gun
  12. If he is happy to sign on reduced terms then we keep him - struggles in his contract year and can be better - but not the long term solution we hoped he would be.

    In Pert's recent interview l'm pretty sure he said it's our home game and it will be at the MCG, although no official date and time appears to have been announced
  14. l think we are all assuming alot about Harmes mindset, some of the posts are treating this as fact when there is no robust evidence and for the most part he plays team first footy
  15. l suspect they were expecting 1 week that would give jack a chance to freshen up before finals .. 2 isn't ideal but he will still have a week back before finals which he is made for
  16. Not if precedents have been set. Like with umpiring you want consistency and fairness. It was convenient to finally make a statement on elbows now that a smaller club was involved
  17. So Franklin and others can freely swing an elbow, but Viney gets 2 weeks for leaning with an elbow

    Without knowing anything but having heard both bartlett and roffey speak, l am guessing the former was holding out for a better home base than what looks to have been offered as part of the women's world cup development
  19. Our goal kicking accuracy is the biggest factor and slightly less intensity and intent

    He has continued to kick a ridiculous number of goals for Bundoora footy club in northern league and has been playing with his son given his longevity. We played a bit of cricket together and he was a handy batsman. https://www.zerohanger.com/gary-moorcrofts-still-go-it-6941/

    Just flicking through the origins of MFCSS ... turns out rpfc fears were true with regard to a number of our players and the rebuild
  22. I just tried some flexi barcodes you get when you want the mobile membership without following through on the transaction ... you can still get tickets on the ticketek website at no cost if you select General Reserved at the bottom of the page ... find its also helpful to clear 'ticketek' internet browser history before trying again
  23. go
  24. 25k again ... mcc website ... not a time to be fussy about seating ... as my young daughter says but doesn't abide by ... "you get what you get and don't get upset"
  25. Thanks ... but wasn't after the on sale time ... was wanting to know the mcc match category that determines whether provisional members will be eligible ... if it is similar to the Essendon game them I am shut out ... leaving my decision until tomorrow if it's 25k may mean l miss out altogether
