forever demons

I remember LJ being terrific but watching the highlites he was even better than i recall ,imagin him and Austin i the same forward half for a decade,my mind just boggles at the thought

trac always had that rdb about him just needs walk past their coach and say GO AND GET STUFFED

credit where its due ,lewis is best forward today,except for kicking,then fritter

our new star forward line fritter and lewis,good grief

normally dont worry about umps but really this is terrible peuss spun him 360 so that is a free

scotch just kicked in go dees you good things

After watching the mfc for many decades looking forward to every game with hope and anticapation,I find now there is little to enthuse aboutanymore  just another game of despair and disappointment.Think i will give one of the ex wives a call just to top my day off

[censored] [censored] [censored]

I never usually worry about the umpires influence,but really ,destroyed us

c wagner great game ,we got  beat but showed great effort ,very proud to watch them try so hard .they never gav up

c magner reminds of Col sylvia when he burst thru and goaled ,jkh is never going to play afl again or omc

I can feel a win comeing on us by 5 goals the big bloke to kick 5

A slug of Stone’s Green Ginger and a dart was my personal favourite 

Brandavino, ah memories.Used to take bottle of stones to the footy nd tip it into that horrible white can carlton draught beer to kill the taste and to keep warm standing in bay 17,ah the good old days at the footy.Plus the jam donuts as a peace offering when home to wmbo,after a session at connelys tavern on way home.Still got a bottle of stones will have sip or two during todays win

in time i would not be surprised to see frost become a ggreat midfielder,big body strong and fast.If he improves his agilty and aroebics he would be a real handful in centre clearances

no t smith again,cant see him being kept on the list ,never gets on the park.Shame,i am afan of his

well done BB great report on this dreary winters day

It takes these big kids until about 25yrs old to the reach the maturity and gain the body they need to play at afl level.He will a very good player or even elite in the next few years

this pathetic hope frost rips in may hes the one [censored] up

Just out of curiosity, what is it that everyone wants the club to communicate to them ? 

 

so we can get an informed idea who is playing,how injuries are,etc

My source tells me that Max’s ankle is extremely swollen and his toes are black and blue. I have no idea how he is standing upright let alone be considered fit to play.

Had a few of those ankle injuries and never got up to play next week,docs can drain the fluid but is worth it ,grandfinal for sure but not this crap game

I agree totally agree with you Binman. This was in fact my criticism of the club in the online member review and is as much a disappointment to me as the on field performance.

I had no issue with Pert when he was employed as CEO as some here did. Since then though he has been a ghost. Surely he should be talking to members in such a disappointing season.

I live in WA, am a long time member and the communication is terrible. Our website is laughable! 

I never look at web site any more its more suited the information given is usually in paoer the day before

Cant see stretch ever making it but wish he would,gets the ball ok but to slow thinking what do with it.JKH deserves a go can see him being rookie listed and do what jetta did ,come back and be a star.I think it is all about maturity confidence with him

Add 6 players and dispense with the whole rookies thing.  Make them full list players.

I year contracts as the clubs see fit too ... 2 year deals for the top 36 draft picks.  After that,  a player takes what he can get.  So lists of about 50 is my call.

We're looking at about an extra million per club per year but the whole process could be done incrementally.  The clubs & the AFL could find a way.

But we're dealing with an AFL that are poor custodians and they too often have got their eyes set on the $$$$'s.

Thats the problem the afl (Gill)looks at the bottom line not the game or players,if the  afl did we would rightfully have a tassie team

Agreed ... the game is now so taxing on the body that I'm surprised that there hasn't been a call for bigger lists.

The salaries would be spread furthet but once the transition is made,  you don't have to do it again.

The lists were much bigger back in the day probably for good reason.  The past can teach us a lot sometimes DJ.  And footy can learn from other sports.  For instance, Soccer is a lot about squads rather than best 11.

 

Bigger lists are the way to go,clubs could rotate more players through the seconds ,i rekon it would take a lot of body and mental stress off the players and reduce injuries,considering the game has changed so much,and is played at such a pace and higher impact to bodies
