		Clarry Photo ‘21
		
		He looked trimmer in the photo as well as Salem. Still don't think our lads are rock hard fit like they were under Burgess. I don't have figures and time scales references to back it up with. Sometimes the eyes don't lie.

		PREGAME: Rd 05 vs Essendon
		
		It will probably happen next year, coz we won't be at the Adelaide Oval after our dreadful season to date.

		PREGAME: Rd 05 vs Essendon
		
		That team in 2014 would probably beat the current one going by the highlights I've just seen. Run and Dare and Targets to kick to Pedo, Dawesey and Frawls.

		Our fitness and training schedule in 2025
		
		Do i need figures? You add a couple of percent to each pre season Pre Season year 22,23,24,25 and we are at 8 percent. Factor into the mix we added no quality recruits in this time that made us a stronger footy team. Mix this into your potion and stir nicely then stick that in to the calculations and their is your 2 percent yearly gradual drop off! It may even be more. We never improved this list like other teams in their windows. We couldn't attract them with our facilities or weren't in a position to offer more money. This is where we are living right now. We've drafted well but couldn't capitalise on 2021 so we've started our regeneration from a higher base than the bottom this time round.

		Time to go Goody?
		
		He played forward in patches before to good effect, needs to get out of the center square asap.

		Kicking Inside 50
		
		He's got to go into the forward line and no more than 20-30 percent in the guts. JV7 has showed he can play this role and is a decent set shot on goal.

		Tom Fullarton
		
		Why not give him a go for 4-6 weeks, let's find out if he has what it takes. We need to find a presents down in the forward 50.

		It's a real danger game this one, a real 8 point affair.

		Go and Get JUH
		
		You can just see this happening with the influence of Bailey Smith weeing in his ear that Chris Scott wants you at the cattery.

		Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver in 2026
		
		I think Christian and his now new management are well aware we are not accepting anything other than a top 10 pick and another inside the 1st round. Clubs didn't have time to arrange anything suitable in the short time frame during the season whilst this was playing on in the background. They will now have had a full year to plan and make a proper proposal to us now.

		Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver in 2026
		
		Petracca's actions on Friday night were a plea to other clubs to "come and get me" from this mess. With the whole footy world to view on a Friday night selfish behaviour from a player that wants out. The club knew what they were trading out in the off season to Essendon. They have probably made a deal with Christian to play 1 more year until a suitable trade can be found to provide us with a way back into top 10 draft territory. Kozzie might have the same arrangement also.

		Our fitness and training schedule in 2025
		
		I can't believe in all the threads I have read in the first 4 rounds no one has called out Selwyn Griffiths for the way we have presented ourselves in 2025. In each year our fitness levels have declined by 2 or 3 percent from 2021 and this is where we find ourselves. Chasing tail, unable to close down and pressure in the right areas of the ground and playing an outdated brand of footy. We look weak, slow and have lost our power.

		Chris from Camberwell Where are you?
		
		He's a Legend Chris, you'd think he's Dwayne's favourite caller but he never gives him any prizes.😂 He wouldn't be happy atm i would presume, I wonder what his MFC contacts would have been saying to him in the last couple of weeks?

		Can someone tell Fritta to keep his hands steady when lining up and jogging in for a setshot.

		"Hope down the Highway"
		
		Has the person who has wrote this gem of a piece ever watched a game of footy. F me sideways this is bad.

		New coach prospects
		
		I'm of the same belief @In Harmes Way but if things continue to go south and you throw a loss to Essendon, Richmond and a 70 or 80 pointer before the bye in there then the club will have no choice im affraid.

		PREGAME: Rd 05 vs Essendon
		
		Essendon will do to us on saturday, what they did to us in the 2023 version of gather round. They move the ball quick and have quick agile midfielders. Will probably go with two Ruckman and work Gawn over like every other team is doing atm.

		New coach prospects
		
		I haven't read the previous posts on this thread so it could have already been put forward but Cameron the Bruce has served a decent apprenticeship with Clarko and now Fagan. He would be at the top of my list for an interview

		Goodwin is coaching to save his career, he should be promoting youth at every corner but he ain't going to do that now.

		NON-MFC: Round 04
		
		I've just clicked on the Suns v Crows games it's alarming how much our game had digressed in the last year. We have never been stone wall fit since the departure of Darren Burgess. Gut running from ANB and Hinge right toward the end of quarter time and linked up and precise kick into the forward line.
