Foopy on the telly

Not really sure why there’s a lot of whinging in this thread. They’ve clearly stated/implied that this is the first part of a long-term home base solution near AAMI. Copied straight from the article: “As we look to establish our new long-term training base, the number one priority in speaking to coaches and players was access to a training oval that reflects the dimensions of the MCG as closely as possible,” said Pert. So let’s not act like they’ve changed plans and all of a sudden they’re not building a home base after all. This is just the first part and more announcements will likely be made further down the track. Calm yourselves.

Hate to be a smartarse but how did we cop so many injuries to players due a ground we didn’t train on last year seeing as we were in the hubs the whole time? Or do you mean 2019?

Leave the trolling to @Olisik thanks

I don’t disagree that he had a poor game by his standards, but I do disagree with the assumption that he had ‘zero defence’, and we already have Pickett as that creative goal-kicking small forward. Let’s not act like Spargo completely [censored] the bed.

Do you ever stop with your negative emotional hyperbole?

This is probably by far one of the worst posts ever made on this site.

Met Jake Lever at my work in Mt Eliza a few months ago. Turns out he lives down here, so will probably see him again soon somewhere.

I don’t know if this has been brought up but I wouldn’t be surprised if the club played just Brown and Tmac as key talls for the rest of the season. They could / will probably keep Weideman in the 2’s for the rest of the year to further his development and finally get some real consistency in how he plays, and then get a complete preseason into him with the view that he can breakout next year and/or in future years, as McDonald and Brown start to age. This could perhaps be the ideal plan in terms of finding a consistent forward structure.

I wonder what the Sportsbet odds would be for Goody to see this message…

I’m jealous that you don’t know who Olisik or Dr.D is tbh But you completely mistook my comment. If you read carefully, you would know that I didn’t attack you, I attacked your comment (or rather, I took the mickey out of it). There’s a difference between criticism of a post and criticism of the poster. I clearly made no remarks towards you mate, just your post. You’re not a nuffie. But your post on the other hand…. ?

^ Why is it that when people post nuffie opinions, they get overly defensive when they get called even slightly called out?? IMO your post is bordering on Olisik/Dr.D level nuffiness mate.

Nice thread, champ!! Our big crowd at Marvel was definitely the reason we rolled the bulldogs in round 11. Oh wait….

Good point mate, just ask Tom Hickey. Oh wait…

Seems to be a bit similar to Daniher’s time at Melbourne as well. Coach for 10 years, made finals here and there including a grand final, and departs midway through their last season. Also times where you thought he was gonna get sacked halfway through their tenure but ended up staying as their clubs bounced back into finals.

I’m as worried as anyone when it comes to a drop-off happening, but the difference is that north’s list back then was old and bog-average. Provided we don’t cop too many injuries we should be fine, but this is Melbourne we’re talking about so you never know.

Is it at way under 900k or (as I suspect) way over?

Clearly mate… just like Selwood in his first year ?

I think he was just making a joke.

You’ve said this a thousand times. We get it, you love yourself. Go to bed mate.

I love your posts, but jeez that just flew right over your head didn’t it?

Yeah chandler trained with the 1’s today and sparrow trained with the vfl team so it makes sense

Well with @iv'a worn smith’s hints at a change in a “really high” admin position in then it’s always gonna cause a stir with speciation. It feels reassuring that the ceo position’s been hinted as stable by you though.

Surely it isn’t Pert leaving or anything. Can you at least put that to rest please?

Jeez you love blowing smoke up your own [censored], don’t you? Bloke’s still 19 and you’re writing him off as a forward already. Even though his lack of goals largely stem from his current inability to hold contested marks, which should be rectified in time as he matures.
