You'd have to think that with our list where its at, in terms of talent and age, we really should be finishing top 4 next year. Ben Brown was the last major piece of the puzzle really. If he gets going from round 1 I think we're a good chance for that.

Couple of things here: 1) Stats are important if you want to analyse the game and its players correctly. Your point is centred around the fact he's coming up to his 6th season. In his 5 so far, he's played 44 games. That's an average of 8.8 games of footy a season, or less than 2 full seasons worth of footy. 2) My week is going just fine thanks.

Yes, he's in his sixth season. Now go look at how many games he's actually played. Do I need to run you through some stats or does logic normally bounce right off you?

Absolute rubbish. Since when is KPF in their "prime" at 23 years old?

I'd be very concerned if our grand plan was to send Omac to Casey so he can dominate and get his confidence up. I'm sure he is even good enough to do that. Genuine AFL players dont need that after 6 seasons. Cut our losses, all the best Omac.

Because your insulted at the fact Melbourne players have media obligations, the very obligations and turn a profit for the club via ad revenue. Of course we're going to hear positive messaging. What do you expect, him to get in front of the camera and self-flagellate? What about the next generation of Melbourne supporters? Reckon we'll get more kids' on board to ensure our future growth by telling everyone how bad we are every pre-season? Not everything the club does from a media perspective is catered to the hardened MFCSS sufferer, nor should it be. We need the players on the energy bus and looking forward, not wallowing in the disappointment of years gone by. It's simple business. It's not a ploy to offend or insult members.

Yes, because as if another poor season wasn't enough, lets give up on taking ad revenue buy not posting content. Bringing in less money doesn't solve any problems mate.

You are easily insulted it would seem

His final efforts wearing a Melbourne guernsey far out-weigh any good he did for the club. Zero fond memories of this bloke.

Is it just me or are these completely unnecessary threads increasing in frequency over the last few years?

I'm really looking forward to quoting this back at you when we play finals next year

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but theres a video of Tmac doing agility training on his instagram story yesterday.

It was a bit cringe worthy, but the good side of it is BB handled each question really well. He is articulate and seems to have a really good perspective on things. BB is such a great get for us. Really excited to see what he brings, and equally as excited to see Sam settle in the role he plays best (#2 KFP). In a loosely related matter, are we contenders for the worst collective of haircuts in the AFL?

For a moment I thought this thread might have been about Trent Rivers.

You've been saying that for years mate

I respectfully disagree!

No he didn't. He said we MAY be interested IF the opportunity arises, then reiterates his position that we are looking at existing players on the list to fill the wing spot.

So why do you think Weed is a utility player then?

Josh says very explicitly that we will look to existing players to fill the other wing role . What part of that is ambiguous for you?

This is exactly my point, just because a player is tall and occasionally contests a ruck doesn't mean they are a "utility" player. Tom Lynch is a genuine KPF.

Not sure why people see Weideman as a utility. He is clearly a forward and needs to be left to do that

Absolute rubbish

I'm torn. Although, gaz finishing without a flag is a delicious thought. Carn tiges

Our track record with these types ain't great
