If we get Culley perhaps Kossie can spend more time up forward. More ways to skin Cats readily available.

Apologies ET mid 2000’s is 2005/6 I have made the error and own up. Has some merit as Wiz was a special player. Sorry DD perhaps I typed before thinking it through.

Mid 2000’s 2015/6 ET in case it has been altered. In 2018 if we had The Wiz still then that was our chance but not the two years ‘15/16 he has quoted. So your defending DD makes you look equally as off the mark. DD made some comments about not understanding some of my comments which after this one is a bit rich. My comments on the Duke for the centre position have been constant clear of purpose and all pre season if DD can’t understand them he is showing his lack of footy knowledge. There is a feeling in D/L that some posters are above being challenged well I don’t differentiate and GW and DD deserve challenging when they need to be outed. So do I on occasions need to be outed but get it right. not just blindly attack with incorrect information.

After saying so many times before please quote these and inform us of your opinion. Dont generalise back up with facts. Awaiting your response.

I am not happy and only in certain cases to advise on info that is readily available these days on the logical and well informed social media or selected Club or eg AFL websites. we should be looking up our Club website just as much or more than D/L. For the latest info. D/L is usually served by Andy or WJ informing us but alternatively too much is provided in details which are not necessarily completely correct or opinion based to rely on. On the other hand some others in D/L have a wonderful knowledge of facts inside info and very helpful advice no doubt and can generally be relied upon. But I still think the starting point is the Club Website for credibility reliability and accuracy. Opinions are added in our posts and this is where the info sometimes gets clouded due to this fact. So I encourage an ability to source the info from appropriate forums but enjoy our different topics and posts on DL and contribute accordingly.

Players don’t normally Force moves they ask ! And Kossie is only in his second year of a 4 year contract. Melb does not have to jump at Kossies request like they refused Harry Petty and he resigned a year later. I am not sure of your Goodwin/ Kossie relationship being any tighter than many others to say that he only stayed because of that. Unless of course you have insider knowledge to this fact. It will play out over this season but to be honest I am sick of it already and wish it was a closed matter till after the end of The season and trade time,

MT 64 look up the Melb fc website or the afl website or your local newspaper. D/L is not necessarily a forum like these other social media or news outlets. You will get all the info re TV or transport or location also.

No he is fine but no contact till next week permitted. Therefore no March sim yesterday.

Have the Coaches thought to test Jai Culley out at all by assigning a tag to check on his ability ?

That’s a novel approach WDee No Rucks Ma x. No Mids Clarry Viney and ????

Agreed LFS pace skill pressure and some forward smarts is AMW. Deserves his opportunity.

You are forgetting the two match practices which I feel will have more weight than an intra club hit out. AJ Pup Brown Laurie and Jefferson plus possibly Hore all deserve further opportunities to further make their case,

Howes is a more flexible choice as defender ( plays on smalls and talls) but AMW could also be sub and play back or forward also.

53 53 53 Goal Alert Half glass full Alert gee talk about negative !!!

Really DD and you stated you can’t understand my posts!!! Have a relook at yours about a flag in 2016? One of the most bizarre claims from left field I have ever read. we were better than in 2013/4 but a flag!!!! We had just started our rise back gathering some new players but nowhere near ready for that. One for the “I really don’t know what I was thinking file “. A post of staggering reflection and fantasy. Perhaps our win over the Hawks gave you this misconception!!!

You must be watching the wrong player. Part of the Dukes success and style last year was his ability to accelerate out of traffic and deliver to other players. Watch the goal vs Port where he ran around opposition and kicked a match winning goal. Thats what separates him from others is his break away skill even in traffic. There were plenty of times he was in heavy traffic and he had very little trouble in getting a quality disposal for our advantage. With extra weight on the year he will be even more equipped and ready for breakaways. Whether in the centre of the ground or elsewhere he is primed and ready to continue and improve and also I hardly recall any times that he was. Caught holding the ball at all last season. Let the Duke run free and create his magic!!

That’s what I am saying why the wing for Trac. Don’t write a statement that is open if you don’t wish to be questioned? Say except for Trac if you mean it. What a waste of a player in any case I agree with the others but not Trac.!!

There has not been ONLY one text!!

One leads onto the other.

Really probably your best mid forward and second best forward liable to kick goals and you would waste him on a wing!! That’s what I call stupid plus dumb plus match losing!! Now really give Trac something to complain about !!!

Same difference not fit enough too much goes wrong How could you be certain of selecting him for a GF on Thursday and he be crook sick injured or any other malaise that is around to keep him pout if playing? Seriously he should go round in a bubble. Get him to go in I am a celebrity get me out of here and do all the eating weird trials to acclimatise to real life. OR Survivor for toughening up his body and attitude. Over to you Ghostwriter what excuse have you got this time?

Not quite yet this season may be his time at last. You never know.

It’s been in the paper and is on our website ( where info on MFC is published ) for about a week now.

Don’t worry Greenwave I won’t read your posts either. Well said W 1947 also.

Playing Spargs in Round1 was one of the poorer match Committee decisions to match some of the Sub decisions of 2023. He was not match fit at best and not fully recovered from injury at worst. Self inflicted injury to match the Practice Match one of the year before of Joel Smith. Even now we don’t have any real timeline for Spargs and the longer he is out the nearer he is going to be struggling to recover and rescue his career. Brutal layman’s assessment but we have seen things like this in footy that are real and the slower they go the more predictable they become. Footy does not wait long for the player with prolonged injury. I hope not in this case. Charlie has been nothing but a team man since 2018 and hopefully can overcome this set back and once again play AFL
