I'va Worn Smith

This man has a very impressive CV, in his area of expertise. I trust he can help with mindset and "culture".

I acknowledge that training simulations are a long way from actual match day, but so far, I am really impressed with AJ's aggression, use of his body and seems to have a sure pair of hands. I also think he can really make an impact as a ruck/forward. Only time will tell if he is up to the 'big' time.

Have I missed it? Or does the CEO's B&F address NOT feature on the MFC websiste?

Clickbait Kornes' recipe is a basic and simple one. Proffer football stories, which are unsubstantiated, with no basis in fact. Never admit you're wrong and rely on the old axiom of 'Don't shoot the messenger'. Nudge the snowball at the top of the hill and let it grow as it rolls and watch the tabloids give it weight. All care and no responsibility. The bloke is as dry as a chip and will eventually become stale. Channel 7 may well rue the day they hired him.

I hope his health is OK. I wish him no grief. But how on earth the man was ever chief football reporter for the Hun and on 360 remains a mystery. The man is almost illiterate.

Neither has ANYTHING that has be reported PROVEN to be CORRECT. All there has been is scandalous hyperbole. Support your club, not the media hacks champ.

Ahhhh. That old chestnut. We used to have journos that checked their facts before 'reporting' messages, for which they checked the facts first, rather than rely on suspect 'leaks', social media and being clickbait junkies, all for the sake of ratings. The likes of Morris are no more than mercenaries.

Look at Tom Morris' record, since he was at the MFC as a junior journalist. Maybe sour grapes, maybe the compelling need to be mercenary. Either way, it was he who started the rapid descent of the snowball. Why?

The best form of revenge, is a comprehensive defeat next season.

What does that mean?

The kid will be a gun. He has a bit of footy smarts and mongrel about him. With a full pre-season under his belt and a bit more weight, he could be another Gus. Let's hope so.

Concise, but bloody spot on. Well said. My only problem with the Dees and our leadership is that the media clearly see us as easy clickbait targets at the moment. MFC, time to get well and truly on the front foot and call these media trolls out, for what they actually are. Let's be ruthless with the media for a change.

Russell Blew? I think you mean umpire, Don Blew. Russell was his brother and played for Essendon.

Just listened to Malcolm Speed's take on our review/s on Whately this morning. For those that don't know, Speed is an extremely well credentialled senior sports administrator, with a very long and comprehensive CV in this area, after previously practicing as a Barrister. His insights are enlightening, calm and realistic. Journos would do well to listen to this man who knows what he's talking about, rather than spewing their own editorial opinion.

Seriously? I mean, seriously?
