Always love a bit of mail. You should see our mailman. Rocks the short shorts in his Hilux like a weapon. How short are your shorts?

Others have reported Johnstone has been training well and playing with Casey, and doing some good stuff with Lord Nev @ training? What is the rationale for delisting?

Who did they get in his stead?

Lose to RFC week 1 then play one of Cats, Pies, Port (at MCG presumably) or NM? SHUDDER

Not sure we have the coaching nous and personnel or preparation tonshut Sydney down (QBW execution and preparation or lack thereof massively worrying ) on buddy, does anyone know what Leigh Matthews is doing that day?

That's a good point. If the Alice springs team turns up we can win any game we beat weagles last year and are arguably (arguably not inarguably) better (?).

Good on him for realising there's life after / outside footy and for having a crack at business

Not sure that is abuse (subjective though) I got told I was a lefty and had mental issues (half right) but whatevs.

Vox Pop: Who would you give up for Dee Goey? Petracca + a pick or someone else?

Sure , historical quantitative data would seem to indicate a good probability of an MFC victory in finals. recent qualitative and qauntitative data against the CFC outside finals, and the same information from similar Big stage MCG games (r23 2017, tigers Hawks 2018), does not inspire such comfidence that's all I am saying

Au contraire They are most certainly the MFCs bogeyman, at the G, in front of 90k +, based on what we have seen to date. I know who I'd have money on in a week 1 Elim b/w MFC and CFC @ the G

I think you missed my point.

Gawd so an Elimination Final against COllingwood beckons Week 1. The bogeyman. #FML

No.

I hope he can start synthesising these lessons soon. Richmond, Hawks, Pies (also Pies R23 2017). 10% knocked off % is not useful. Especially after it took us so long to recover from Hawks/Tiges and build the buffer over 6 weeks. What happened to the killer instinct? Maybe the camp should have happened (lobs grenade and runs for cover). jk on the last line!

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?
