That is bring a soft fan if ever I have heard of it. Yes a statement of protest before the result would have been sensible after it was known that MRO Christian dated he would resign if there was a case when Laura Kane over took the action to charge the AFL should not allow a Pies conflicted official like Gleeson to be anywhere near the case. It should be a rule in the tribunal and other cases that that’s not allowed. That should have been placed as a change for the AFL to make to their Tribunal cases in the future. Christian should also have been moved on at that time and replaced by an independent MRO Officer who had no history of Club affiliation. But to give up on the Club is weak and unproductive in the extreme.

Bowey McAdam Lindsay Chandler Sharp Pup Brown Salem ???

Well who do you suggest?

Sorry Jackson did you mean Langford?? Yes might grow a bit but no guarantees. Looks as though he marks tall sometimes though.

Jeffo is taller than 191cm is 195 isn’t he or 193 at least. ??

Really what’s this got to do with Melb footy? Or are you in election mode already. There are 8 others and Geelong and crowds at sport during summer and racing carnival have been great plus support at outside events in the other cities has been whole hearted and prolific. Councils are responsible for upkeep on local roads and parks etc but State and Federal Govts. for highways and link roads. Please tell me what this has to do with AFL footy and MFC and our season ahead. Nothing to do with employment either for our younger players local or other wise. Let’s move on and get back to the footy as the major importance.

That’s why Caulfield ticks all the boxes in location, land available, and community and stakeholder support to go with it. Finalization yes of much of the details is needed but Perty seems busy enough discussing and negotiating with much of the locals who are included and associated with this project. June this year is mooted for the next major announcement with the Building stage being strategised as we post our hopes and reactions.

Agree SWYL no game is given. We were 2 wins off 9th and 2% with all that happened. Quick rebound is quite possible like in 2020/21 after 2019. Always need to look at circumstances reasons and ability to react.

Times in the time trials are subjective to each footballer. It’s about each player aiming for their best under the circumstances that have prevailed in the pre season and their ability in running u der this pressure. Some players aren’t best times in the group but are still very good for them ie Maysie. and the fitness Chiefs know the scorer with each footballer.

Rubbish. You obviously haven’t read our track experts posts of Trac’s training so far. Yes he may be a little apprehensive inwardly te body contact when games start but he has not apparently been avoiding body contact at training. Suggest you read the training reports or better get your half glass empty body and brain down for your eyes to see when he resumes. Snd I expect an apology when you do for such incorrect posting. Garbo by name Garbo by nature and information!!

Why is it less than ideal? Why should we listen to your judgement after all this work that has been put in to get an acknowledged location near or in our heartland. You are only nit picking because you know that there are no locations that have been suitable or available of recent times that fulfilled the brief for a modern 21st base for an AFL Club. Look where Hawks have gone about 18/20 kms from their most populous base for fans. Stop underestimating this project with “less than ideal “ statements that are meaningless.

That is not the feeling I have or that most Caulfield proponents are approaching the bade there. If that’s your opinion fine but this is not a throw at the stumps project, but a well constructed case for a major Club base facility in an ideally located locality containing the necessary training and administrative requirements for major portion of this 21st century.

He ( Fritta) sometimes plays the ROLE of the key forward but is not really our KPF (FF) in the structure. JVR or Turner ( or Petty) will be named and most probably play at FF and even Jefferson or Johnson plus Kossie may play in that position at times depending upon how the match is going.

Thanks a lot DP. Much appreciated. While I understand the questions were very specific and some not necessarily ready for open consumption it may well have been the group thst you were representing that was an issue just as much a factor. I do think the nature of the beast is that many or sny other possible sites might be compromised by public information if passed on. And another particular point the group you represented of course would have been a factor as well as the confidential impact of current negotiations with us not in control of the Caulfield project. We have as club members etc. been given a general update which is specific in its current progress and it appears the major and central base to ensure we have a 21st century base at long last for our Club to be proud of and to enable us to compete in the toughest national ( and Victorian) competition and thrive up to our highest possible standards for success for the test of this century. Thanks again DP for your honesty and cooperation.

What was the question DP ? That might be The reason for reply which is not great but not surprising in some instances.

It is available at Caulfield so you can stop warming your seat at AAMI Park which is not the solution as you know. PF astounds me for such a MFC person being misled by the Waverley Park discontents following one article in the paper. No one has even visited there in 30 years other than Hawks fans and why would they be moving out of there spending more than a million $$$AUD at Dingley if it could be bought up to anything near a satisfactory base for the.next 50/100 years. And DP harping on Fishermen’s Bend. Perry has already advised about all other possibilities that they have been examined and considered and unfortunately further discontents still persist with previously discarded training base possibilities. Onwards and upwards at Caulfield.

Thanks from City Hall ghosty!!

Well not all people regard what’s written in DL as a joke.its not funny and there is no point in writing stupid info that can’t be taken as gospel by some. I font enjoy reading [censored] like that. No one deserves that to be served up purporting to be humour in our posts.

Contributing this largely wrongful post is not helping MFC at all. Many reading this dribble will for rightly or wrongfully believe some or all of it and believe it is true. We criticise journalists for inaccurate and misleading statements about our Club yet seem oblivious to this sort of post that is not even funny enough but deals with the truth and fiction all in one. It is a waste of time and should be not approved for publication.

Think he is talking about Clarry at a guess for missing a fair bit early in late 2023 before arriving in 2024 after Christmas period. if it is it is not a valid point in the context of the season and Clarry’s program.

I think Binman has the best opinion on Fritta. He is irreplaceable in our forward line and an extra 20 goals to 60 would be priceless for our forward line. in fact all our forwards plus new recruits XL Langford and AJ plus Sharp can all add to our flexibility and goals to make up the necessary points up to 90 plus for a Finals team. I would hate for Fat Tony to summarise the weaknesses of all our forwards based on his summary of Fritta. Last season was his worst really so I have full confidence he will be back in his best with support from new players and existing alike to ensure we get back to a confidence that will ensure a forward line with many options for the crest of the competition to fear.

It’s not hatred Chin is a fine clubman and very determined and goes in hard. But the others are IMO a better potential for thst spot of HFF in the end. All will kick more GOALS I have no doubt.

Agreed PK that goals are priceless and pressure important but others Zibtjink will do both.

By end of 2025 for HFF Tholstrup Brown AMW Pickett Petracca Sharp are all capable of playing that position plus Langford or Lindsay may be suitable. Fristch is also capable of playing HFF role and from left field I think even Jefferson may ba skilled enough as well in his earlier debut games.

I Think in time Brown or AMW could replace Chin with pressure plus the benefit of kicking more and harder goals. That’s by the end or during the season.
