The Swimming Dee

It’s getting harder to pay each year and watch the crap that we serve up. I also find myself falling out of love with the game itself - over umpired, soft, rewards the player second to the ball etc. I will always love our club but I am trying to be more circumspect about our woes

Went and watched Claremont (My team) beat West Perth on a windy day today. Very good skills, used the wind to advantage and knew how to play when kicking against it. Very good skills and such an enjoyable game to watch. Took the family and they had a ball and enjoyed it much more than going to a stadium to watch an AFL game. I have been an MFC supporter for 35 years and member for 25 years...I am honestly at the crossroads. I just can’t deal with pea hearted efforts for much longer. I reckon I have one more year left. If we ain’t a hell of a lot better next year (preferably with a new coach) then that’s it for me. I’ll just pay a Claremont membership and head along when I can...and save approximately $600 per year. The MFC - so disappointing and soul destroying every year...we are a weak club

We are a weak club and have been for a long time

Shut up Garry

Weak as @&^%#@!

What a half of footy by Steven May...absolutely elite defender. He is giving Naughton a lesson

Nail on the head Nev...huge no from me

Past - Neitz, Farmer and Trapper Present - Clarry and Max

6 Langdon - a serious player 5 Oliver - he is in amazing form 4 Melksham - a real attacking yardstick for us 3 May 2 Brayshaw 1 Spargo Special mention time Preuss and Weideman

Preuss has been good. Melk is on. Spargo also very good

Venders - great goal save. You just knew he wouldn’t shirk that contest

Correct, he is already huge and has an AFL ready body. I understand why he was dropped but saying it is due to him being too small is incorrect

Jackson is a pure competitor. You can see that is how he is built. I think it may be his greatest trait as a player

This game is the big test for us...we should and must win

I don’t rate Preuss. I’d bring in Brown and get TMac to ruck most of the day. Send Harmes in at stages and just try to shark off Grundy. It might even get Harmes going. Let’s hope it’s only a minor hammy for Dogga

Yes I think you are right Wise. I meant that he has similar athleticism and it was more in reference to the article. He looks more talented though and is so competitive which is the trait I like most

Weideman fits our forward line better than Hipwood. Jackson could be our Hipwood...could be anything. Terry might be half right. We probably could have played Sam more but who cares. He has arrived and looks great. I loved some of his marks he has taken on the lead. Our delivery has become better and he is a smart footballer who reads it so well. He works hard and is fast becoming a favourite. A natural footballer!

Yes. Lyon or Clarko would be my preference. I don’t think the club will part ways with Goodwin though...COVID means he will see out his contract imo

I have been a member for 20 years...not sure I’m going to sign up next year. Enough is enough

Where do we sign

I was joking dazzle...apologies. I agree with you 100%. Brayshaw’s form has been awful since 2018. I don’t buy into the he is being played out of position argument either. He lacks skill and intensity and should have been dropped weeks ago

Tyson applied himself and played with much more heart...you are being unfair to him

Cheers Coach. Ningaloo is an amazing part of the world

I live in Perth and am about to drive 1300km North to camp on a beach with the family, fish off the beach and drink beer. I have no phone service and no tv. It is unfortunate that we still have radio service but think I’ll be avoiding listening to our games. Bloody excited about the holiday and distancing myself from footy. We are a joke of club...and that is something that hurts me deeply to say

Brayshaw very lucky if that is the case imo
