gary who. don't think he has a clue when it comes purely to footy admin. we are not Collingwood who can sit back knowing we have no debt to pay down

Look, most members are not as fanatical as most of us on here. Different supporter want different things from the club. It's mostly designed to attract those that churn their memberships and get the attention of non member supporters. History shows membership numbers will take a dive this year (because of last year) so you need to try something different to try and turn that around just a little. Winning typically lifts membership numbers the following season but does help with match day gate receipts in the current season. If they can uplift memberships by a few thousand (and thats the best they could hope for if successful) then we get a few hundred thousand in revenue using most existing resources and staff

Suspect journalism as a profession had changed a lot since then swyl. More competition, social media, the need to be first with news

absolutely, was leading b and f before getting injured in his last season with us. still my favourite opposition player to watch

l wonder if some players are better away from their home states where they socialise and rely more on the friendships they form with other players at their club and benefit from the underlying peer group influences. jeff farmer also had many more issues when he went home.

That looks like it would hurt ...

Was watching similar vids on the train before I realised others could see over my shoulder and quickly flicked to the home page

Yep, it's official, but doing expect to read it in a medical journal

It's also a fact that both kk and harley reached the mfc on the back of medical reports that suggested a new miracle cure for recurring / career ending issues. Kk had new medically identified neck issues that caused his head to wobble too much while harley had newly identified nerve issues that tickled his calf muscles. I'm fairly confident both players also had their fair share of other medical reports that said they had little hope of an AFL career. You may be aware, Freo already sent him to world renowned German soft tissue experts without luck. That's not to say l don't want him too make it. He can play, comes cheap, and helps to sell hope.

We need you to do the mfc injury reports each week .. thanks for the insights

will get a frosty reception

Can't believe we bought the double calf surgery story, but at least HB comes cheap

Luke Jackson would be well advised to get one also

Don't hold back ...

Barrels, speckies, match day kick to kick, finals buzz, transparent injury reports, training bbq's, father sons, draft gems, new revenue streams, no concussions ....... and less bushfires!

Robbie Flower was a very reliable kick at goal. If only he had the ball in his hands in place of Eishold, Yeates or Campbell in that last quarter.

Look at the positives, no new injuries to report and no one in rehab

That's what happens when you trade away 1st rounders

jury is still out for mine. need a bigger sample of past injury reports to assess and reflect on but excited to have him on board

l may be too. any procedure involving the knee makes me nervous especially when its something odd like a cyst. hopefully our training reports are a little more transparent under burgo

Bit left field but former demon Cameron Johnstone was/is a handy kicker for the Philadelphia Eagles

MFC's official training photos are on the improve, but not sure why they would include photos of players drinking water. Last time l checked you get zero Champion Data points

thanks for the reports everyone. much appreciated. like the stat indicating numbers training on the list but would also be great to get a stat on the number of our starting 22 that are doing match practice / match simulation also as this shows how progressed our key players are in the more advanced phase of their training work. awesome next level reports everyone!

A few clubs chased him as they did Burgess so well done to the club on getting high quality staff. The structural changes pert and mohoney have overseen have been excellent. Probably just missing a gun senior assistant that other clubs tend to have but otherwise looking set for 2020

great topic for discussion. l went into the rooms after our win against Footscray in 87 to make the finals and got Robbie flowers signature on my record. my favorite day at the footy. exhilarating finals series' under northey. who would have thought Dean Chiron could play a role against platten, but northey could get them playing out of their skin despite having less talent then the daniher era
