MFC's Foreign Legion
Ted Fidge; I have a memory vs Richmond, ball down Punt Rd end, Ted on the members wing (right in front of me), when a Richmond player pointed to his chin and asked Ted to have a go....gee there was alot of blood. Anyway back on topic what about Jamie Duursma...played on Dermot 2 weeks running and did the job, did a job on Kernahan in a final; not a great player but played some great games

I also remember Big Carl throwing a wild back hander and collecting one of our own, Kelly O'Donnell

Northey era vs Daniher era
Didn't we hire Northey simply because he was the cheapest. Northey for mine considering our recruiting was tripe.

Best 22? / Next 22??
I think Hibberd, the Weid, ANB and Jones may struggle for a game. OMc would prefer on 3rd tall. I like Petty because he plays with some niggle. If Joel or Aaron get fit we should play them because they can get injured looking in the mirror. Hore and Lockhart should force their way in somehow.

2019 Financial Hit
I thought we sold Leighoak for ethical reasons. Companies do not own properties because it is a poor use of capital and like said not core business; there are tax advantages to leasing I believe. Furthermore a company with too many assests opens itself up to vulture takeover from likes of Bond/Elliott/HolmesaCourt. Anyway it is MFC policy not to make a profit otherwise AFL will turn off life support?

The Splitting of Pick 8
To me it means we definitely want Weightman as our second pick, who is currently rated as mid teens pick. So why waste pick 8 on him?
-
Greg Stafford Goalkicking Messiah? - Possibly
Chosen because he is cost effective - 2 coaches in one; think of the travel $$$ savings.

Either way he was running the boundary at a reasonable pace

Well they were pretty much chip kicks - perhaps down the Northern end would be more accurate; they had to keep out of the way of the backs doing the clearance drill

2019 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler
From memory didn't do much in his 1 game but his kicking has some depth to it and seems to have reasonably clean hands - worth another run.

The Coaches Jet Off to the US
I assume this is more part of the coaches collective agreement ie you are entitled to x days professional development. Didn't ND go to New York to meet some famous coach and came away with a 10 min tour of the locker room and an autographed photo?
