Perhaps the way to handle this is to sit him down and outline how they think he can be a really good player and play 200 for the club. They might outline that at the moment he is not playing to his capabilities and here is a list of X, Y and Z he needs to work on. Tell him he has the bye to show a real commitment to X, Y and Z (assuming he is deficient in X, Y and Z as some commenters here infer) and if he does not he will be in Casey without any thought. Perhaps also indicate he has until end of season to prove that he really wants to be a football player. Also clearly indicate his KPIs and relay the fact that if he continues to lack focus and worry about social media etc etc then he will be traded. Also indicate it's ok to have interests A, B and C, and he's young etc etc, but he is paid a lot of money to be a professional football player and attitude and application should reflect that. Oliver is a good example of what to do right after going off course a bit (who could forget the epic trolling of Martyn last year.) Assuming of course he is not injured (why playing if so) and he has deficiencies and isn't just "off" (we dropped Tyson and others for being off), and assuming the club doesn't already do that. (I only say the above that there seems to be a lot of coasting going on.) I turned the game off at half time as it ruined our family day (wife Collingwood). My 3YO son had the presence of mind to realise I was not ok, and took me out on our deck to play. Which was a smart move. So, bearing in mind, what I saw of Petracca, both yesterday and year to date, has not inspired confidence at all.

Why is he playing then

Ahhhh the days of watching the Zebras and then heading to the Sandy. Good times

Goodwin obviously I must remember my sarc tag. My apologies for any angst caused (really). I live 1800km away. But rest assured am pestering my non member but a supporter family members

I live 1800km away. But I'm working my family don't worry.

If the club can't rustle up 1355 less whatever signs up over the next 3 days (let's say 100/day, so 1055 on Monday) then heads must roll. In fact their stretch goal should be to try and crack 50,000 COB Monday or end next week

If they can't get a few thousand ON THE WAY IN on Monday and get close to 50k someone should call the firing squad Can they get a few recognisable reserves players to "shake the tins" around the booth. "SIGN UP AND GET A 'YOU READY TRELOAR' SELFIE WITH BUGG" I'd sign up again just for that

I will take him The point above about constant recycling is apt.

Specifically states gets us into one MCG home game, by prior arrangement.

Yep, Armchair member. I told them I wanted it to add to numbers and I understand it does. Our closest ground is Metricon (90 mins) and Gabba (2.5 hrs) so a 3 game and country are no good for me. Armchair I think gets us into one MCG game, so considering coming down from Ballina next year for QBW with son (4yo by then - Dees supporter against all odds, outlaws all CFC) and wife (Carringbush) for his first game at the G. Obviously tack a day Mt Buller onto that. Anyone know where to hire a Disco?

Does the club have membership sign up booths at games? I don't recall ever seeing one (although the last MFC game I was at before moving 1800km away was a long time ago). If they don't, they should, and have sign up bonuses, like a free hat or beanie or scarf. "Paywave your card here and you're signed up and here's a hat if you do"

I blame the quiet removal of the Demon from all logos etc. Bring back that 1970s Demon. (Though I do like the new MFC logo) http://demonwiki.org/show_image.php?id=648&thumb=1

Are there any female posters here?

If he wins a flag this year, he has to ask himself what is the probability of the Weagles going back to back, especially considering Demon trajectory. On the balance of Pr, I would pull the escape pod and head to Demonland to win 2 in a row

Yep, really. That narrows down the field of probably sources considerably (by 50%). Now, does anyone have a list of every male connected to Gaff and the Demons (somehow) by let's say 2 degrees of separation and work backward. It should only be about 25000 people.

That's why I just make it all up mate and use approximations. Because I have no idea but you can at least get where I am coming from.

Didn't someone say on here the other day that the salary cap per club increases by 2M p.a. from 2019? That could accommodate an uplift in Tmac, Brayshaw and Gaff. Let's aay 750-800 gaff, +200 p.a. for Tmac + 200 p.a. for Brayshare that leaves 600k P.a. for the rest of the group. Would that provide a CPI lift for everyone? Not sure what the base is.

Yar. Beating 9-18 by lots is 4-6 pt game. Jusssst losing to top 4-6 is -2 pts. Beating top 4 is worth +6. I literally just made that up and it makes no sense so please enjoy This has been another nonsensical post by tim brought to you by our station sponsors Sapporo

May as well put my Demons beanie on at the GC airport just to let everyone know what's what

This. Expectations management. Smash the teams we are supposed (on track), beat some not expected to (mixed but yes). If we can smash dogs and pies I think the real test is port @ AA and swans at G. Maybe cats at category too. Weagles. Big markers.

Clearly Goodwins plan is to build an impenetrable unassailable redoubt of percentage - think guns of Navarone x 1000000 - then lose the expected ones - think WCE etc - maybe one were expected to win - cone into finals under cloud then sweep all before us by winning every final by 90 points Bravo sir

Carey sounds like he has MFCSS. Who did he barrack for in nappies? [censored] Adelaide by 91 and still not good enough? What a dullard

This ^

Game commencing at 2.50 Central. Latitude, time of year, should see heat come off day early.

27 is hot?
