Neil Crompton

If it helps, happy to leave the adds there for this season.

I would pay to see a life size picture of Neal Daniher with a beanie on his head for the big freeze round. Imagine 40k ND’s watching us play!

Back in June last year i read an article about a planned acquisition by Mirvac of the Boral PGH brick pit land at Wantirna South for a huge residential development. The article said that it would need State Government approval because the land is covered by a parks acquisition overlay, giving the state the right to purchase it for parkland. I don't know if there are any further developments on this, but a section of this land would make an excellent training base IMO. Anyone know the outcome of Mirvac's application?

A multi tool would be too dangerous in my hands DC. I’ll stick with the grinder thanks.

Your editorials are wasted on here MFM. I don’t think anyone is getting a full perspective of what you are all about, and understanding what you have to say - especially DD. Can I suggest saving all these nuggets and writing a book instead. Then we’d have the whole picture. If written under your current nom de plume it could possibly be titled “ The MFC - the view from Mars”. If written under your previous incarnation perhaps it could be called “The MFC - a Dee -luded view”. Just a suggestion.

I think you have just solved one of my problems DC. Constantly having thongs on my feet during these covid days spent at home, I am regularly reminded visually at just how long my toe nails are getting. I have a problem bending all that way to cut them. And, unlike BBO, I don’t have a slave to cut them for me. But I reckon I could bend far enough to reach them with an angle grinder in my hands. Problem solved. Thanks DC. And to BBO, I had a grandfather who also suffered from bad tinea. I seem to remember he swore by ( or swore at, I cannot remember) the pouring of peroxide on his infliction. Perhaps you could let me know which one it was.

Haha. Come on, show us your full collection of semi naked men MFM

My first concern is for him. I hate seeing wasted talent. If he is successful in making a comeback, then naturally we will benefit - and I cannot wait for that.

I hope the punt pays off for HIM - about time the chips started to fall HIS way.

who knows!

Is this the MFM thread? he seems to own this one,

I'm not sure how Roosey even gets raised in a discussion about a Neeld spray on Morton. But since you have, the big difference between the two is not "salesmanship", as you suggest, but rather that Roosey had credibility and the respect of the whole AFL football world as both a past champion player and a premiership coach. Its a hell of a lot easier to make a point (be a "salesman") when you have that credibility and respect - rather than just his "diplomacy" as you put it. If diplomacy was the recipe for success - how the hell did Ron Barassi ever win 4 premierships as a coach?

Deserves a dong, ding

How do we ensure we play the Crows Round 2?

Surely we've been pre-programmed with enough zombie movies in the past to know exactly what we all must do.

Sorry MFM, I have absolutely no idea what you are trying to say. Please try again

Hi Andrew, I'm starting to see a lot of adds on my pages today, which i thought membership stopped. Is there a reason for this please? Cheers

I think that's as close to an apology as you are going to get Happy Jack - I'd take it

I've just lost a major DL contributor - and i feel less stressed already.

Unfortunately i don't believe Round 2 will be till next year, if we are lucky. Listening to the PM last night, it was inferred that the current restrictions (and worse) will be around for a long long time. The Spanish Flu pandemic lasted 2 years from January 1918 to December 1920.

Thank you for putting me first. I guess I am the only real hero from the last 55 years haha

Quote from Fox: “The Dees certainly never lacked for forward entries last year. Against the Eagles, they had 45 of them - 10 more than their opponents. But they still lost by almost five goals. For some reason, Melbourne thought kicking it high and long into West Coast’s vacuum-like intercept defenders time after time would work. Weirdly, it never did, to absolutely no-one’s surprise. It’s fair enough to be frustrated with a team when it doesn’t have enough talent; but when it does, yet keeps doing the same silly things, that’s a different kettle of fish”. So either the players are following orders in continuously bombing it in long - which is an indictment on the coach; or the players are not listening to the coach and doing what they want - which is an indictment on the coach.

Anybody seen this? - interesting hypothesis

An experienced Captain would have known how to answer this question without possibly getting teammates offside, A good Captain will learn from this and think of a team-first response in future rather than giving the reporter the answer that he wants.

Jeremy Howe made an off the cuff comment - which, given the circumstances, I thought was a pretty funny one-liner. To now suggest that the Melbourne players will want to extract some sort of revenge for this comment is just absurd. While the players will already have an opinion of Howe following his departure a few years back, I bet if you now asked the players about this comment, they would probably just laugh. To suggest that Howe is a "germ" and a host of other insults is, in my opinion, just disgraceful. His character assassination in this thread by people who most likely have never even met him is something we should be ashamed of. The guy possess the one single trait that excites all fans - no matter what team they follow - and he does this week after week - he is a once in a generation player for that skill alone. So the guy wanted to leave the MFC - get over it - I'm sure his ex-teammates have.
