Clubs Walking a Few Metres in Our Shoes
Yep and Richmond trying to distract public from the nightclub altercations. Brendan Gale should never be considered for the top job at the AFL

Viney on Brink of Surprise Return
Agree, Jack can be his own worst enemy, too selfless and courageous for his own good

TMac charged $3000 for kneeing Plowman
should have been fined for not using both knees

Membership 2021
most of that uplift comes the year after a successful season

POSTGAME: Rd 08 vs Sydney
Will worry it's more until they say no scans were required or he trains early next week
-
POSTGAME: Rd 08 vs Sydney
12 possessions, don't think so. Does he know what a pressure act is

Collingwood’s fall guy resigns
Wonder whether the list management moves undertaken last year by cfc and Guy were partly done in the belief they could attract trac. With that falling through perhaps Guy has fallen on his sword

Excited?
triple rebuilds require triple amounts of quiet optimism

Mitch Brown
It was his first game back in the big time after multiple ops and was still serviceable ... what l know for sure is that the crummers know he won't get out marked often unlike weid who doesn't have his height and can get knocked off balance around the hips

CHANGES: Rd 08 vs Sydney
Harmes needs game time and will play a full game in vfl of afl ... hope it's afl playing more of a defensive mid ,,,, Bradshaw to keep building craft on the wing

AFL Mid Season Draft 2021
Some sense at last. If he finishes the year as he has he should recontract with a extra year or two on standard $$$ and spread the money ... takes pressure off himself and club and stays a demon for life ... we don't have many players that can play back or forward which is super handy when we have a normal amount of injuries in a year

Christian Petracca is A Demon For Life
It's official until it's proved not to be official ... mfc is strategically leaking to channel 7 with its larger audience, not the first time
-
Christian Petracca is A Demon For Life
gotta love the way the club is rolling out one key contact announcement per week or two ... no coincidence in my view and should help get memberships ticking along nicely
-
Christian Petracca is A Demon For Life
who would want to go to cfc to be smashed as the lone key forward
- Bayley Fritsch cleared of striking

Do we lack midfield depth?
problem is proven mids don't go to teams to be insurance and mfc don't want to pay a hefty price tag for someone to play mostly vfl until injuries occur. l think harmes in his preferred position is a completely different player and hope he comes in as he is more the viney type that provides defensive balance in the middle
-
Do we lack midfield depth?
We have more quality mids than most teams, no team can cover missing gun mids perfectly ... we can manage with those that remain and harmes can come in and continue how he started this season in his preferred position

Would you take Jeremy Howe back?
6 pages on a hypothetical player move with no inkling of reality ... we are 6 and zip move on
-
Whats changed?
all good points. l know the club has a data scientist that analyses the scoring to develop probability based expected scores based on the difficulty of the scoring positions. seems like we can do some work to get the ball into better spots. your points suggest we weren't coached well last year and l would agree i.e. too many players played out of position and a game plan focussed too much on contested ball
-
Relocation of North Melbourne Game?
If it goes ahead they should turn it into a double header. Our recent head to head record isn't great though

Farewell Josh Mahoney
I think credit for getting players wanting to come to the mfc goes mainly to Simon Goodwin. Then Tim Lamb, and Kelly O'Donell in that order. When players arrive they invariably say it was the conversation with goody that got them most interested plus the fact we usually offer an extra year than most other clubs ... there are quotes out there from the players themselves if anyone wants to Google. l give Mahoney alot of the credit for the draft pick swaps that have been first rate

Christian Salem Re-Signs for 5 Years
Seems to me that good mates Oliver, Salem and Petracca are all done deals and the marketing department is staggering the good news for maximum affect .. good on them if true
-
List needs
If he sets himself, the classic but still classy Love Hate knuckle tattoos aren't out of his reach and could be the difference in inking himself a new deal
-
List needs
We have a shortage of players with tatts, Jones was the only one against the Hawks last week and he's getting on. Another mullet type would add some much needed depth also
-
Training Ground?
we have had as many goes at this has we have rebuilds
