Deemania since 56

Always thought that it was a show for the toothless dribblers (ie: Filth fans) that had little to do with the rest of the football public.

Coming of age, is our Frosty. Winds me up ...

You are not the only one! I am sure that most of us can see it - allegedly had a good game last week but still was not even competitive and was grossly unreliable across the game - yet he keeps being picked (what are we waiting for); as if he is going to produce a three-year overdue turn-around with his speed, manning, marking, team play, reliable interceptions, attacking clearances, etc). He is a drain and liability on what could be a very good backline, necessitating the support re-structuring of the rest of the backmen during most active plays firstly at fullback and now at halfback. When Lever, Jetta and May return, all will be added scramblers attempting to resolve the problem when the ball is in/ is approaching his vicinity. This will leave the current deep backmen playing against an added opposition forward other than their own opponent. 'Sneak in and kick goals' has never been easier for them. Notice how Frosty, Salem, HIbberd and even Lewis by-pass OMac when clearing, passing, handballing - he cannot attract teamwork, just lopes around avoiding physical contact. A wasted jumper.

Heavens, OMac in. Worst news of the week.

Nope, but the question had to be asked.

Hunt, Hibberd and a mobile Frosty with Salem should do the trick.

Their talls will otherwise have a picnic.

Casey in the outback is like a picnic afternoon on the way to Waverley, the latter a ground that I personally liked, very much (where Tilbrook kicked the longest clearance I have ever seen). With infrastructural improvements made ASAP, for transport, parking, and a massive upgrading of the ground and environs including stands - facilities that one might expect of a football ground - it could all be a very good move. We love the 'G but so does the AFL - almost as much as it loves the gate-takings it receives from 'our' home ground. The Casey- Dandenong-Frankston area and beyond is already a rather good supporter base, and a lively and handy community.

All good at this point - and Viney (tremble) might be good against our opponents, this week, if he handballs well instead of taking-on opponents whilst in possession of the ball. Preuss at FFwd, leave him there with instructions - Mark, Bring ball to ground, Lead straight out to smallest defender, Kick goals.

The MFC FD and ancillaries obviously thought Joel Smith was expendable at the time and decided to prove it by keeping him on the ground whilst injured.

Much worse an action by Ablett than that body and head protection of May's, earlier in the season.

Precisely reasonable. It is now 'ho-hum'.

Who's talking about drinking alone? It's always assumed that a mate will drop in to start the session.

Koo-koo-ka-choo! Sitting on the Eiffel Tower?

In hindsight (now), it seems a disappointing public capture at best. However, I believe nothing is wrong with a few coldies whilst he is working away at core fitness and conditioning. Beer does refresh, rejuvenate and re-invigorate, no doubt about that. It is a shame that this was a public capture that could have been avoided quite easily. What has May got against knocking off a few lids at home, in the garage, in the backyard, in a closet, for that matter - out of the sight of those who may otherwise interpret his preferences that depart from the Gatorade brigade?

Good thought, nicely posited. Could make all the difference and for Heaven's sake, we need the fullback so that Frosty can be unleashed to the world - as an act of revenge.

In relation to whatever 'ground balls' means I was impressed on several occasions against the Sqwarks just how clean and effective were the pick-ups and roll-ons executed by Petracca, across the game in tight contests.

Ethereal improvement.

This must be pushing his sunset clause with the MFC. Three strikes ... out. Surely. He is being paid to do something else for the Club. At least three times more than our best medical doctor.

I don't want to tick the 'like' icon as a poster comment, but I do think that this is a question worth an answer. The complete scan of a potential recruit has often been in order for the MFC - and paying customers would be happy to pick up the bill. As it is, we're paying and remorseful about the transfer fees, the ongoing wages and the loss of team form/momentum. That is not why I buy annual memberships.

He is in everything and is nearly always in an advantageous position. Works like a trooper across a game. Incredibly talented clearance specialist. Glad he had a little respite brought about by improved teamwork. He can be overworked.

Buying time. Smart. But notice the positioning/nonchalance of the Melk - smart, too.

Tick, tick went the clock; great ideas, great efforts went Trac, Frost, Lockhart.

Definitely some of the best bits of our efforts. Good enough to beat Whoreform - a team of champions.

Terrific analyses and observations of this sensitive area of our team structure.
