KLV

Listening to the interview this morning, I gained more of an appreciation of what went on within the 4 walls of the club this year. “Players doubting the game plan”, “players losing confidence”, “players questioning the football department ‘s whole strategy” Meanwhile, Goodwin a young coach is worried about the team’s ability to get it together at round 3. As the year progresses, he’s needing to keep the faith, the motivation and belief of the players, publicly provide explanations for every loss, and cop un-censored criticism from traditional media and of course social media, of which, we are part. Imagine the experience of those underperforming players this year, those that came off pre season surgery and inadequate preparation; imagine the experience of Oscar MacDonald. The fact that the club has retained 100% of their required players, traded on those that weren’t (Frost was a bad influence), attracted Langdon and Tomlinson, beat others to secure 1st refusal on Harley Bennell, is quite astonishing. Certainly not something that would have happened in the recent past. I hated last season as much as anyone, but feel admiration for the players and staff and a growing confidence in where our club is heading.

Not least of whom was the person responsible for the cowardly attack on Oscar McDonald. Very poor form.

Another reason to despise that smelly club

Be proud Grey wolf, I’m no retired hippie, but equally hard in my world to explain my demon passion

It was a very long lunch, I assume, Pro Dee

To be fair usually a Nonna’s pasta is hard to resist.

Yeah, I agree with your post mr 39. Where’s the advantage in being a free agent, if you can get to the club you want, simply by refusing to sign a new contract with your current club?

I think they needed pick 9 for papley. Bad luck Carlton, you missed out on both.?

We can only hope

Rejection hurts Even when it's by a perpetually injured, Collingwood bogan

I’ll start... he’ll play only 16 games over the next 2 seasons, just like he has over the last 2. Dodged a bullet demonlanders

Sums it up exactly, the pies can’t win, that’s all that matters

Put the radio on

Suffer pies

Kicked a good point

I’m stressed

What’s with Geelong’s jumpers? Trimming the back of the shoulders almost to a razorback, less to grab. Bending the rules again. Meanwhile tigers are kicking to regain the lead

Dangerfield is a smug basta*d, can’t stand him. The definition of a smart ar*e

Come on tiges!

What have you got planned for this time ?

Excellent

At the time Frawley was a big loss, despite him not bothering too much in his last season. losing him to Hawthorn and rivers to the cats, demonstrated very clearly the flaws of free agency. Top teams raiding the bottom ones. It stunk (still not over it, it would seem!)

Saw that episode last night

Exactly, dame Gaga

Agree with both. It is so predictable. There is a bye weekend and journos have to continue churning out the same volume of content as any other week. This is a gigantic headline with a very insignificant story behind it. As others have said, MFC would have presented a bad financial loss, and predicted another for next year. That would probably be it. Demonland, stop reacting to this pathetic attempt for relevance, by this pathetic man.
