Did Simon do a press conference? What could you possibly say after that?

I feel exactly the same way. I shake my head now in disbelief how badly our club have fu kd that period of dominance 21-23 and beyond up.

Said it for a while now he is an absolute fraudster! The last 2 years from an overall fitness point of view have been pathetic on his behalf.

I am taking my membership of auto renewal, I will then decide if the $600 donation to the club is worth it. I don’t see any games in Melbourne so I'm paying to prop this garbage up, until I see signs of change from the incoming leadership change i will be membership free.

No one ever knows 100 percent @Demonstone but I hear things through a contact at New Balance who has decent intel and those names never came up.

Understand your point @Demonstone, but the footy dept didn't exactly target hard for players with noted footy skills e.g M Kennedy, De Ambrosio, Amon, P. Voss etc. All these players from teams that weren't even considered by the our club which is alarming and left a huge gap in our playing stocks. The players you mentioned aren't noted for their foot skills or have a particular part of their game that is strong. This is even more prevelent and relevant in today's game to kick through defensive zones and create better field position. You can only develop and improve certain parts of a players game first and foremost. The players we have traded for from 22 to 24 have ended up being nothing more than stop gaps. This is where we are now from poor, lazy trading. 13th on the ladder.

These are the sought of risks we need to take now and back our development in. Established name players just don't want to come to our club.

That's why we are angry @Dr. Gonzo We traded like dog ch it after our flag triumph for the 22 season then followed it up in 23 and 24. We spoke to the wrong players during this period why not have a convo with some great players by foot, De Ambrosio, peatling, Amon etc. Its not all doom and gloom as we have some talented youngsters to work with, but some one has to unfortunately leave the building.

This isn't doing Goody any favours.

Reasonable players are players who sherk the contest. Bruise-free footballer is another name for a reasonable player. Whimps/reasonable players get out of the way of a contest and Steven May ain't no whimp! End of story! In the words of the great Neale Daniher "play on."

The club grew some balls TFFT. Probably to protect Steven May's legacy, because this is how he would be remembered if he got or gets 3 weeks for this incident.

Do you mean Experiment sexually? 😂

I reckon that's me about done. In what world does this outcome happen if a Geelong, Collingwood or Carlton player had this done this to a MFC player? They have ch it all over our club again.

Close thread!

He has a great kicking action.

Earth shattering news that is! 😂

This is good banter, @picket fence you have to call or you fold your hand. 😂😂😂 I'm backing Ghosty here! 💰💰💰💸💸💸

While were at it might as well give the Texas Rattlesnake a tingle also for R24.😂

I wanted Peter Wright from GC when we went for BBB. Absolute ✅️ from me, would get him fit again away from the mess at Bomerland and back on the park. As for big Cox its a big NO!

He's got big man vigour though. We had our best period of the season with AJ in it.

What is Patrick Voss' contract situation? Big offer from us could tempt him home? He would be on a bag of chips.

Its been said before but you hit the nail on the head again we had a formula in 21 and it was simply devastating. This Formula broke down during 22 when Tmac got injured, Brown's knee was cooked and Jacko's head was all over the place from the money that was thrown at him. 23 we tried to replicate that formula with a few tweaks Petty to the Forward line, Melk in the F50 and Grundy as sharing the ruck and forward load with Max. The Max and Brodie experiment didn't work but we were still in the mix but bad luck struck late in the season with injuries to Petty, Melk, Fritta and the infamous Brayshaw incident. We just need to develop our own or trade for a reserve key position player Patrick Voss style. Maybe Wade Derksen can be our Patrick Voss? Daniher ain't coming back to Melbourne to play. If he does decided to play it will be with Sydney as its a closer commute from his NSW farm. No one wants to come to us even when we were any good as we don't have the cap space to offer big coin and our sh yte facilities. Get real peoples!

2 players need to be moved on for the right draft capital. Either couple from this list. Fritta, Lever, Clarry, Viney, It needs to happen, we need to get back into the 1st round of the draft this year. It hurts, it will hurt but we need top end talent coming through the door yearly. Of those 4 names mentioned Fritta and Clarry hold the most value obviously but a Viney and Lever combo could help Norf culturally.

He hasn't been the same after that ad Trac. It's bought him nothing but bad luck.

Exactly and when he is not on like tonight, we are F kd. That's why you need other dependable kickers with leg speed to share the load.
