we've got the flim on disc and always worth a rerun!

Do nothing! Adopt the Sgt Shultz defence and wait until after the draft! Jimmy can then call Vlad and say "Tanks a lot Andrew"

Disagree!! May well help to put a bag over our heads (or at least over Vlads for next 1 to 2 weeks). Is the answer to - How many days until we are safe regarding the PP = 42??? Alternatively get the Bill Highy character to come and recreate the world circa ealr 1960's with a clone of the Red Fox as coach of MFC!! BTW in the AFL version Vlad and Adrian A see themselves as the mice!

At this stage Trengove is the best pick. Hopefully we can start firming up after this week's game against Nth. The MFC FD if not the team will be "Jack" of it if there are any more Jacks after him!

Unfortunate publicity for the Filth! See pic from the terrorist raid today in the Age. Pic 1 of 14. http://www.theage.com.au/photogallery/nati...selectedImage=0

I will feel safer in 3 weeks if we have only won 1 more game. Until then they are all danger games. Note the Bummers were supposed to be fighting to stay in the 8 yesterday and if I hadn't just been watching the Tigers at the G would have said they were atrocious!

Also sat through the 2nd half and amazed how bad Tigers were!! Dees unable to play that badly now. Much brighter future for MFC! Clearly MFC tanked yesterday but there is no way any blame or dissatisfaction can be levelled at DB or the FD. It was uncomfortable for all of us to watch in two minds as to whether we wanted to team to win or not! Had to applaud efforts like Junior's all day and great goals like Pettard's last and Miller's from the boundary (what the hell is 2.0 for the day!!). The MFC did not make the PP rules and we have suffered the pain of 2 years of very few wins! We have suffered from rules like the centre circle which stiffled Jeff White in the middle but didnt affect any other AFL side as much so why should MFC be shy about taking the advantage of 2 of the first 3 picks in this years draft when it os on offer! Come September it will be 45 years since our last premiership!!!! As noted on SEN after the game. there is no penalty for tanking and as the AFL (Vlad) has decreed that tanking does not exist impossible to take any action against us! So whilst the negativity surrounding tanking is sad and refelects badly on the AFL it would be much sadder for MFC not to boost its stock via the PP to ensure we do not go 50 years without a premiership.

That's 4 words YM

[And finally a point i suggested in a previous thread, Rich was picked at what? Certainly not 1, 2 or 3, in my opinion we need to do the best with the picks we have on the day. Things also happen further down the list.] True it is still puzzling how Rich was not picked up earlier BUT clearly MFC likely to do better with 2 picks in first 10 than only 1???? We do get 2 of best new players. <_<

Great P - can you tell us where PJ & Robbo will play if they come back after 5??

Adam Simpson has announced he will play his last game for North Melbourne this Friday night against Carlton. So Kangas may play above themselves for his last game. Should have lasted another week so they would be up against Dees in round 19. That is increasing as a "danger" game for MFC! :angry:

How about OUT: MFC IN: WCE (as substitute) expert tankers against the shockers on weekend!!!!

Perhaps YM drew up the poll list????

It is amazing how little comment in this post in regard to the other older players. Much of what has been stated on Robbo equally applies to Wheels and Junior & fact he is captain has definitely been a factor. In the case of Junior his effectiveness in the midfield has diminished this year and will further next year as slight slowing of pace means gets caught or less effective disposals more often. With Wheels its a case of the body starting to fail after all the years of going in hard regardless. Of the above 4 I think Wheater is the one with the most value for 2010 as he is capable of long and accurate kicking out of defence which means Aaron can be further up field to move it into attack. So if hard calls are to made on a few let them have farewell game possibly agains Freo (provided that MFC does not win a game before then or otherwise in Rnd 22.

What are the odds from here of: MFC winning 7 of 7 including beating both Saints (1) and Geelong at cattery (2)? Freo winning 4 more games?? and Richmond winning 3 more games??? Plus WCE 4 more when they play MFC Freo and Nth Melb in their 7???? Dreaming!!!

Pello Vlad's head is in a darker and smeller place than san on this one!

I think the WCE mystery injuries may be catching!As MFC only played WCE 2 weeks ago may come through to our players over the next 4 weeks. several to be forced to miss 1 - 2 weeks! Including Jamar Warnock Frawley etc. No point bringing Wonna back early for 1 or 2 weeks only. Get him right for next year and play for Casey if OK. Rest Jurrah and send him back to play with Aussie

I have offered to drive a few of them to the casino after the game and shout them a few drinks. Hopefully a couple can get suspended for breaching a curfew

What about the day Stinga got pinged for holding the ball at VFL park when he was already 5 ft over the boundary line when tackled???

Which of the 3 NON decisions do you mean? As the commentators noted - 1. ran too far (at leas 14 paces after bouncing) 2 was caught trying to take on player and had prior opportunity; and 3 incorrect disposal!!! And not as if the Ump was a long way away!

Strawbs - I hate it!!! Looks far too promising and if the selectors changed to your team this week they would be certain to gell into a good team by Round 20 !!!!

Redleg. I agree with your sentiment about not attacking the club as it is not MFC's fault that we are face with this dilema! Will be accused of tanking regardless! if we only win another game. The MFC can not say anything other than we aim to win all remaining games. In fairness the media has been making the point that this is AFL's making too.

I like your work. Lets hope the MFC is as meticulous in its management of things over the next 5 weeks as you have been in your observations

I tried updating my Avatar today several times and the site says upload failed. I have discovered that my existing avatar has been removed somehow and so now dont have one! Does not make any sense as i can edit my profile information. Site tells me to contact a member of staff - but who is and how do i get in contact with the staff and whose staff?? I have tried adding pic to this message and it also states error message: "Upload failed. Please ask the administrator to ensure the uploads directory is available." also says upload is not within allowed paths. So is a setting on site problem. Please advise how I can get the new avatart pic onto site!!
