I have dug deeper on information of who played the first game of what ever resembled a football code, it was actually the mighty M.F.C in July 1859 against South Yarra. Sheffield F.C first game was against Hallam in 1860 no mention of what month details very sketchy.

So I'd have to say M.F.C is the first club to put and organised game together against another club. So you would have to say its the MFC. 

There seems to be a more detailed outline on who played for MFC, who was captain etc compared to Sheffield FC.

Channel 7 have paid a fortune for the Broadcast rights. They have influence. 

They have stuffed up very badly this year. 

Ive been telling people for years Channel 7 have all the say. 2 billion reasons why they have all the say, wake up those who dont believe so.

Carlton are Channel 7's love child.

Technically its Correct but they are irrelevant as they aren't in the top 4 divs of The English FA.

M.F.C wins out yay????

Gold Coast would be frothing over a deal like this.. We wouldn’t be happy, I don’t know why posters think other clubs would be. Gold Coasts issue stems from a lack of leadership and top end talent, they don’t need more fringe players. 

They need players if there stupid enough to except well thats their problem. Worth asking the question tho....

Regardless of what Carey said we need to get back in the draft somehow. Package some fringe players up to a Gold Coast and get back in.

Beat us by 1 year 2nd oldest.

Happy Birthday M.F.C

Carlton aren't getting a priority

Dont be suprised mate, they aren't asking for one but the powers that be behind the scenes are lobbying hard for it.

The same pricks that gave Carlton 6 Friday Night Game are the same pricks that will allow it, so dont be suprised at all, part of their masterplan.

I think a Collingwood and WC win is a positive result for us. I understand that if we keep winning every other team around us becomes irrelevant for us to make the 8 but let’s face it, it’s unlikely to happen given the stage of where we’re at. 

Its teams like North and The poos and wees that I’m most worried about. I just had a look at the draw for those teams and they have a dream run. The teams from 2nd down literally all play each other. Port and collingwood are no certainty to make the top 4. Sydneyand WC could still miss. Those 5 teams have a very difficult draw to finish off the season. 

We could still finish second or even 10th. Beat the doggies and head to Geelong with our tails up, then we can date to dream.

Losing to the saints means we have to beat doggies and Geelong down there to even contemplate top 4. But we have to fix up our issues with the G if we are to be legit which is speed and spread. Jayden Hunt is the Wildcard speed kills and we brought some back in with the likes or Frost, Stretchy, Garlett and Spargs.

Port, Collingwood, Geelong, WC and Sydney are gettable with the team we played with last night. I still believe on the G we need Jayden Hunt in the Team rotating from HB to a Wing to break lines when back from injury.

I hope Stretch gets a game next week?

Fritschy was good tonight.

Why wouldn't he? i thought he showed good composure, busted tackles, laid tackle, adds much needed speed why would he get dropped?

Put Baker in and  play him against Ed Richards.....a ginger off.

So bakes goes alright does he? close to selection?

okay so you want ANB out

who comes in?

Bugg...no votes it seems

JKH: Has failed every time at AFL level

Balic: I think not

Kent; Too early

IMO ANB stays

For me if he wasnt Injured Jayden.

Honestly don’t know what’s going on with ANB, he’s been average or below for most of the year but he’s played every game, don’t think he’s missed a game since Goodwin became coach 

His body language is someone who knows he's under pressure, i know he's injured atm but i would take Jayden Hunt in a heart beat everyday of the week over ANB.

Hunt provides run off the backline and traditionally bombs to the forward line. His round the ground disposal isn't great.

Getting it into our 50 is not our problem so I'm not sure what he adds.

At VFL level he was not doing much before his injury

He will be a beauty its exactly what were missing Him and Hibbo working in tandem, he's still young those types of players with run and carry thrive in September breaking lines at the G.

I a.ways thought Lyon was going to jam up our 50, and moreso the 20-40 metre zone that we target.  Fill it with big blokes, and as Demons lead into this space, the incoming ball can be cut off.  

sometimes it was so bad they had no structure forward of the ball.  We had our press super high, and we were still 50m behind them sometimes.  Free had no chance playing like this.

no wonder we dominated inside 50s.

We didn’t handle the pill well, conditions or not.

lets bank the 4 points, recover, and get set for next week.

worried about Lewis.  Undisciplined elbow gives up 50m.  Doesn’t bend down for balls in dispute.  Not behaviours to be rewarded.

Before we traded for Lewis his camp would have been stipulating that he has to get to 300 games, that's why he got 3 years, after he's played 300 he can Rack Off.

Shout out to the inclusions:

Stretch - looked like he belonged and hope he gets an opportunity to cement his place.

Garlett - welcome back Jeff. Covered a lot of ground and was dangerous in front of goals.

Frost - I queried his inclusion but he had a great game against weak opposition. One howler handpass, but otherwise a very solid game. Looks to have grown as a player.

Jayden when he comes back that will be vital with his line breaking ability if we continue on this path to september. He will add a different dimension to our play.

We looked a far better balanced team tonight.

Stretch adds so much more than Tyson. 

Out of all the players who played tonight i couldnt be more happier for stretchy added some much needed zip and spread, got more involved as the evolved. Loved his game tonight along with the usual suspects of Gawny, Clayton and Christian.

If Smith cant play down back he cant be in the team, he's not a forwards bum hole.

ANB has he got pics of Goody's Missus or what? If he has i guess he's going to stay in the team but simon if he doesn't he has to go.

Out: ANB, Smith(depending on match up)

In: Anyone with as heart beat

Garlett may have been a bit quiet, but he has laid 6 tackles this evening.  You can't fault that effort, even if we all wish he had hit the scoreboard a little more.

He has been busy. thats what we need crumbing getting those handballs out to runners.

wasted opportunity for 100+ tonight
