Not only do I not need an excuse not to go to a game, I certainly don’t need to explain to you why I didn’t. Ps. We won a Grand Final with bugger all loyal MFC supporters there. Tonight’s loss was due to numerous factors, the sparse crowd was not one of them.

The Game plan cupboard’s bare though. Mr Goodwin only has the one.

1 . Fullarton :- As I said at the time, it was my recollection and I stand by it. I also said I couldn’t be bothered spending more time than necessary sitting at a computer than necessary, however if you want to make an issue of it I’ll go back and find your post. I’ll get back to you. 2. To me it’s bewildering how people can claim to have an informed opinion on a game when they didn’t see it , the game that is, so agree with Kev all you like. It appears you just want to take the other side on this one. 3. Re: your dislike of the negativity expressed be people on this forum ( their opinions ) , not all of us are Cheerleaders, some are just loyal supporters who are realists and seek to analyse performance. So I’m intrigued on your thoughts as to when, or if at all, it is acceptable to you for people to express any negativity. Perhaps after the thrashings of the first two rounds of 2008, the Neeld years in general, the Kardinia park 186 , maybe VFL park v Fitzroy 238 to 48 ,1979, I sat through that one, or this year in Alice Springs ? What’s the cut off ? Any thing over a 80 point loss ? 4. If it’s “suffocating” to you, perhaps just stop reading a post if once it gets negative and it becomes too much for you. 5. FYI, I have made NO comment about the Team’s performance yesterday.

Too right. According to said poster, anybody who was disappointed with that performance and expressed same is a “group thinker”. Fortunately he has also provided us with many, many deep and meaningful life coaching tips, free of charge, to help us overcome that affliction.

The game of AFL/VFL football exists because of the passion people have for their clubs. Without it, the game wouldn’t exists and we’d be doing something else on our weekends in winter. It is completely understandable supporters being disappointed with a performance like that. Not to be, would IMO, be very strange.

And if you had seen the game you just might understand what people are saying.

You’re passing judgement, not only on the game and the player’s performances but on the opinions that others have expressed, yet you admit you didn’t see the game. Struth

Disgusting Umpiring decision by Simon Meredith. Neal-Bullen was pushed into the umpire by Fyfe.

Perhaps Lever and May are just following the Game Plan.

I was being somewhat facetious 🙂 Bedford by the length of the Flemington straight and then some. Should have been obvious to the List managers BEFORE Bedford left.

Have a look at FRITSCH Q1. 6.50 Q2. 13.40

Apologies for poking the bear, but Chandler or Bedford ?

Ground hog day since 2017

Fritsch Q1. 6.55 remaining

The definition of a “pot shot” is quite subjective. My recollection is, I believe before WCE in Perth, you “potted” my suggestion of Fullarton coming in for the match with comments that were not complementary to the player. That’s my recollection and no, I haven’t gone back to check, preferring not to spend anymore time on a forum than necessary, which on the contrary could lead to eventually becoming obsessive, prejudiced and perpetually wearing a “one eyed blinker”. As I said “it’s subjective”, and all opinions are just that. That’s something, IMO, that is lost on a select clique in this place.

Yes but Petty is not a ruckman. According to the FD neither is Fullarton.

Yet this is exactly what do did regarding Tom Fullarton several weeks ago, and he is also “ young and yet to debut”. Struth.

The problem with some people on this site is that :- 1. They are so biased they only see everything from an MFC position, therefore their field of vision is extremely narrow. 2. They have a belief that their opinion is worth so much more than others to point that they are always right and everyone else is always wrong, or so they believe. 3. Due to the “positions” they hold eg: Cheer Squad “leader”, regular at training, long time Trident/ MCC member etc, they believe they are more entitled to express their views than anybody else. 4. The Face palm emoji is their weapon of choice.

Are you not just “calling people out “ ( “on their bulls#$t” ) for having a different opinion to you?

If they wanted someone to play purely a defensive role on Andrews wouldn’t Petty or even Turner have been a better option ? Fritsch therefore having more freedom. On the other hand perhaps they just wanted Fritsch to apply the normal defensive pressure expected from a key forward these days. In that case they would have been wanting Fritsch hit the scoreboard as well. IMO, the end result of the match up was negative for us.

Surely they can’t drop Moniz or Tholstrup after tonight’s efforts. Therefore : Salem in for Woewodin. K. Brown in the 22 Windsor sub Would really like to see Sestan and Fullarton ( for Chandler and either one of Turner or Petty ) but it looks like their cards have been stamped, at least for this year.

At that stage of the season I think Windsor would have more impact as the Sub.

In Sestan out Chandler, doesn’t get it enough In Fullarton out Turner - better relief ruck option than JVR, IMO, and Max surely will benefit, now and in September ? And for those who bag Fullarton, before he’s had a chance, WHY did the FD recruit him ? In Lever * out Howes Keep Tomlinson , play taller down back, Tommo is better ground-ball player than he is in the air, and whilst not quick is mobile. K. Brown start as a small forward with Pickett. Bowey sub We’re not cutting it ATM so why not trick it up. Don’t worry about the number of changes. Through forced circumstances we have potentially found a star centreman in Rivers. Sticking fat ( on reputation ) hasn’t worked for a while, sit on your hands = expect the same result.

“Look within”. Indeed, and the inquiry show go back to pre-season 2022.

Yeah, possibly, but he doesn’t have to play 100% game time there, unlike Langdon. Freed up I think it would be a weapon.
