Don’t be sorry. I thought that was actually pretty good, and very accurate

He could kick 6 and we would still win

Hope not. Was putrid in the GF last year, 1 disposal.

Contracted till end 2021. Pretty sure he was named as an emergency for Saturday night so can’t be too far off. Given a full pre season think he could do some good next year

Oscar Baker?

Both Boyd and Hayes retired. What posters are suggesting in this thread is that Jones be delisted. Since you raise the Bulldogs and St Kilda culture, then I will come back at you with Geelong. At the end of 2015 Geelong had to make a call and delist several veterans. Jimmy Bartel was in the frame, but they decided to give him another year during which he played his 300th. Now which culture would you say was the better of those 3 teams? .

Brilliantly said. All you nuffies saying Jones should not be “gifted” games, need to print this post out and read it every time you go to bed at night. After a 100 or so times through it may penetrate your thick heads.

Whats the go with the mullets at St Kilda...is this their 2020 version of the blond rinse?

Not if we win it and use it well on the inside

But have they? Beaten by North and Freo, fell in against Gold Coast, thumped by Collingwood and Geelong, got Richmond at their lowest, very good against Port. Probably travelling a little better than us at the moment, and should win this one. But they have also been inconsistent this year.

Exactly

Because he won’t be at the club next year

But I think it is. We over rate our list, thinking they are better than they really are. There is a reason we cannot beat good sides, they are just better than we are. You can’t make silk purse out of a sows ears

This is a bloody joke. The MFC should be taking this up with the AFL demanding an answer as to why there is such a disparity in the penalties.

The saints must be salivating about this week. Get on the $2.10 with Sportsbet, Saints 1-39

Ah, yes quite right! I think my brain was well and truly in a fog by then!

Yes, even though it was nearly a year and a half ago, I too have very vivid memories of the same. It was embarrassing. Even Dean bloody Kent got in the feast. I lost a lot of belief that day and nothing that has happened since has given me the slightest indication that things have or will change. That game was a stark reality check. Even this year our wins have come against either very poor teams or those going through a form or injury slump (Collingwood). At best we are a 10-14 placed team. Yet to beat any of the better teams and this week will be no different. I honestly believe the players are lazy in a sense that they just don’t seem to be prepared to dig that little bit deeper when the game is on the line. It has always been that way with the club. How many times have we actually come from behind to win a game? It has been going on for decades.

I would rather see a spot given to Nathan Jones so he can get to 300 games. Even though I believe the game has gone past Nathan as well, if that is what it comes down to..........

A demoralising day. Easter last year. Went with my family after a family Easter Day in the Botannical Gardens. Have not been to a game since. Not a great investment was that $460 dollar membership. 55 years supporting this club and not much changes. Get on a bit of a roll, suck us in, then boom. The stark reality is that clubs like Footscray, St Kilda and Carlton have gone past us. We over rate our list. Yes, they have talent but unfortunately not the mind set to work hard enough to achieve what we desire. I have seen it time and time again, and am fast coming to the realisation that I will not get to see a flag in my lifetime.

How much time do you give someone who has shown nothing? He isn’t a natural footballer and unfortunately will never be. And that is because he didn’t have that junior development. Clutching at straws with this bloke, time to move on

We could throw Preuss in as the steak knives. The two dumbest players on our list

Joel Smith has zero football smarts. Will be delisted at year end. Better off playing Brown.

Yes that’s exactly what I thought when I watched it again Wise. Llyoyd throwing girly haymakers whilst retreating at a thousand miles an hour. He was always one to belt blokes when they weren’t expecting it too.

No need to be sorry, I didn’t take it that way! Good thing about forums is that we can voice different opinions and discuss.

Well it is looking like I may have been wrong Engorged....but I will reserve the final judgement until we have played some half decent teams. Plus we have been rotating players, when the original comment from Goodwin was that we would not.
