Then again might be easier to do this then go for a bit of sneaky scope creep and add some more goal posts later

Oh goodie Why stop there Let's just half a ground and practice half a game, we're only playing half a game anyway Double down on the fwd press Also scatter red hot coals across the ground to toughen the players up and really rile up those virtue signalling greenie left latte sipping almond dipping bearded hipster yobs.

He might also do it to remind any players on the cusp there are young whipper snappers ready to take their spot.

This. Look how weaponised he looks. He'll probably turn up and play 300 minutes have 67 possessions carry the whole team (again) this week whilst worrying about absurdities if he packed his beard cream for Bundy and Cokes at the pub after (Yo Byoe-tee!) Legend

A message the AFL needs to hear. TV = ratings. My dear old dad has given up on footy and the Demons after all these years, instead picking up NRL/rugby (I always knew his judgement was suspect. NRL!)

Your thesis (and I am not trying to be personally offensive or unnecessarily argumentative) turns on the fact we can win in Darwin v Freo without Max. And we should not include Max as it may be greasy/don't need taps/etc. I have said that it is all academic if we lose and that we need him. You think the style of play will not suit him/our set up with him. I think things are beyond dire and if we lose, subsequent rounds are meaningless as it's all over for the MFC18. Further, whilst a team is not one person (unless it was MFC V SKFC last week), I would posit our odds of winning are substantially improved with Max there, whatever your thoughts as to how the game will be played. I'd have thought he offers more than just tap work. On the weather front, it's going to be approx 22-24C at 7.30 on Saturday in Darwin. RH at 3PM is 27%. It's mid winter. Heat index at 25C and 25% humidity is low (72). Dew point 11C at 3PM. Chance of rain 5% (average 1.1mm for July). Light breeze ESE, light onshore wind by 6PM. Are we super confident it will be greasy? Are we willing to risk a possible loss by not including Max because it may be greasy? Max will play, and we need him to play. I get your logic, I just don't think we can risk it. Max is fit. Manage him in game (play across the backline or wherever) and rest on bench if things are looking ok in prep for dogs.

Maybe the players are en masse tanking to facilitate just that scenario I'll place a jk here lest someone think I'm serious.

LOL. Good one.

Some epic anigif madness Bravo sir, bravo

I listened to the last few episodes of the Inside Melb podcast: Gawn did not sound too down in the mouth about the losses. Maybe that's coz he is a pro and it's done and no point getting down about it - tally ho onward and such. Would have been nice for him to address it a bit more seriously "it sucks, we let our supporters down, etc etc" - but then talk is cheap However, lightheartedness also not a good look. I am so conflicted in how to view - I want to see them walking the talk. If they come out and flop against Freo we will know the players are not fair dinkum - and you know what comes next: Heads Must Roll

That's true, but I sense MFC does not have that ruthless streak. More cuddly teddy bears and delicious Lindt boxes. And packs of smokes of course. On reflection, should it be Hannebery, it's not like he'd offer nothing...he can kick can't he? I mean, we're not talking some mung bean player- he might just be in a slump or over Syd? And he ought not be expensive. Plus leadership. Plus knowing what is takes to win. Plus winning culture. I am struggling to be disappointed. All baseless speculation though innit.

Currently 23, 2014 puts him at 19. At 23 is he on a downward spiral, NIN-style?

Jones has value?! No way it will happen. It will cause an apoplexy.

My July 1 tax cut is on Hannebery. Would he be a handy leader and some cream. He does looked cooked though. Melbourne might suit him - as Melk said, Goodwin will just let him do whatever he wants. /jk!!

I think from Freo some here were saying Langdon is a young gun - only 22. Unlikely. I thought Hannebery too - Oakleigh Chargers. Likely. Undecided. Ward is 28 so 2014 would have been 24ish. 28 sees him to 32 on 4 yrs. Here's a start, too busy to do the rest.

Some master prose today.

Sorry sorry

I am not looking forward to being disappointed. Apart from Sloane (now ruled out) and Gaff (some would be disappointed, some not), who would we all be disappointed in.

That's a bad sign for the club - disengagement

We have so many wins coming up? Disagree

You can choose to join another club and let the MFC know via a written letter and cc the board

How hard is it to have a core set of attacking 50 rules 1st commandment - thou shalt lower thy eyes and not bomb 2nd commandment - under condition x only tmac shall fly for mark with players a, b always ready to crumb (with obvious variations ) and on you go break rule - warning break again - dragged break again - dropped no exceptions and let the team down

Typical. Using real stats and evidence - what a nonsense approach

Reassuring and awesome proof in puddimg

No because that would put me in one of ProDees containers and that is a fear I cannot come to grips with Plus apparently it would literally make the place explode. More hyperbole, sorry not sorry
