But we won a premiership with no spectators for the majority of the year. Maybe it’s the spectators that need the noise, not so much the players.

Wasn't seen. Very disappointing. Laurie wasn't much better.

At this stage there is only 2 of us in the 21-30 age bracket WCW. No wonder we are so misunderstood.

Mental or physical?

I thought it was Hells Bells. (Which I love). Has it changed?

I’ve posted a parcel to Gus. It contains my lucky gold pen. Hope he takes the hint. And then passes it on to Jacko.

If Sam is as bad as most posters on this thread believe then you needed worry, cause he won’t play in the ones again. And hopefully we will then be spared of future derogatory comments about Sam on here. It’s not a crime if you play poorly, nor is it if you are not a star - but you wouldn’t think that after reading this thread. I’m sure he would luv to be performing to your standards, but he hasn’t yet and maybe he can’t, so accept that. Don’t blame Sam (or any player in a similar position), blame the selectors for picking him. They obviously have no idea what they are doing.

Then your son must luv the peace and quiet for a change on the morning after, WCW.

Haha that will be his defense - it was only Cotchin. He'll get off for sure.

There is something wrong with me LDV. On first read, I thought your first sentence said “… but would it be enough to live off from heroin?”, and I was going to agree with you! Then I reread the sentence.

This bloke is giving me flashbacks! And they aren’t great ones. Is there a doctor in the house?

I though JJ played a great game.

Is it just a coincidence that in the very year Hird goes to GWS, the team seriously underperforms and the coach resigns mid season?

My prediction is that Gus will not only sign up for more, but he will be appointed joint or outright vice captain next year. And if it wasn’t for Max I’d have him as captain.

Watch Goodies press conference today. Gus won’t be allowed to go anywhere!

Let’s face it, if we had someone better neither TMac or Weid would get a game. (hurry up JVR). Given the form of both players this season, I don’t think our team performances will change very much for having one over the other. However, I think the Weid has far more upside potential than TMac and therefore should be informed he will be given an extended run to give him the confidence to reach that potential. If he can’t, he can’t. We always have TMac to fall back on.

I just wanted to respond to some of the earlier posters who almost tried to shame members who do not attend matches regularly. Well I’m putting my hand up to admit that I am a member and I rarely go to matches. That’s not to say I don’t care - far from it. I love the MFC (I’d be an [censored] to be on DL if I didn’t), but I also love my wife, my children, my grandchild, my friends, and my house, amongst other things, including work. All these things I want and need to spend my time on at the weekends. So it’s not always so easy to prioritise the MFC above the other needs. I also love golf, but can rarely prioritise the time to play. Therefore I can understand the outside pressures that prevent members attending regularly. So no need to shame those of us who cannot spare/prioritise anywhere from 4-6 hours to go to the football every other week. It’s not that we are lazy or we don’t care. Far from it. I also know that a great many of you have these same competing elements and yet are still able to attend regularly. Perhaps you can tell me how you manage it.

Can we have a game or 2 with both Kozzie and Bedford in the forward line? They seemed to combine brilliantly on a couple of occasions in a pre-season game. Not sure how we'd fit him in if all 5 covids come back, but perhaps ANB to the wing, Jordon to the mids, and maybe Harmes has a rest? Not sure if it can be done, but would just love to see these 2 excitement machines playing together.

No one has mentioned that with two key forwards, on their own, virtually in the goal square, why Harmes didn’t pass it to them, rather than take the shot. Kicking to the forwards would have made a certainty of the goal. Of late, Harmes kicking on the run hasn’t been great, so could have easily missed. Both were not team first decisions in my view.

No, I believe he said that about going to the Eagles.

Does Lever look like he’s lost about 4 m of pace? He really struggled to get moving yesterday. The fumbles and mistakes I can put down to lack of match practice, but to me his foot injury has slowed him down considerably.

Please someone wake me up when there is some real news on his contract.

No wonder you’re cranky.

I thought we were wanting Weideman to succeed at CHF. Why do posters now want to put him into the ruck in place of Jacko? I think he needs consistency in the role he was drafted for. Surely there are other options - TMac or Daw - to replace Jacko.
