Half forward flank

Not sure I follow Polly.

And if that happens Pert will have got away with a slight of hand trick and we the supporters will be the losers. I have never rated him. Hope I am wrong but he seems like one of the 70s footballers who went into Sales and ended up running this or that company with no formal training.

Alan will be the GM AFL Football Performance, overseeing the performance-based elements of the program including coaching, high performance, medical, performance psychology and skill development. Alan will drive a high-performance culture, alignment of our programs to the highest level of excellence and consistent achievement of desired standards and disciplines by all players both on and off the field. This reads Richardson will be overseeing Goodwins coaching performance. Does that place him under, equal or above Goodwin? I see a confused situation, as it reads. It also reads Richardson will be overseeing the performance-based elements of high performance, lol.

I am assuming I am one of the people this notice is directed to. If so I would like to state that I am not here to troll. I may have different standards of what I am prepared to accept from this Club than others after supporting for 56 years. That is not meant as to say it gives me a right to be special or negative only that I am less tolerant for optimism by simply going with the status quo these days. if that has offended some people particularly our younger supporterts, I apologise generally and will personally if you think it is warranted. I will give myself a break as it is all a bit heated and people have taken and set positions. I remain a Demon faithful and doubt anyone will find a post where I criticize the players. I hope Skuit has a change of heart.

Its a lot like the player who retaliates on here. Always the one who stands accused. Perhaps mods should look for the posters who continually snipe at every comment made by people they have disagreed with in the past. DL is not a welcoming place for newbies. It could all be solved by having people use their real names Now that would be a step forward. It would be also interesting to have a DL lunch where people are unknown. I guarantee the tone would be a lot more respectful.

Big supporter of Jessies and realise it is all competitive but where do Freo sit in all this. They persuaded Jessie to go back home, mindful it was an enormous and emotional decision for him with a lot of pieces in the puzzle. One of those pieces was they knew Jessie was fairly settled and happy in Melbourne. He was obviously torn between, staying or going if all the rumour of him making a decision is correct. A few years later it is a bust.

Fair comment. I am on the opportunistic and to an extent there is nothing wrong with that, however I had hoped we were more strategic than that now.

And I think we need more Kozzis before a Ben Brown especially when we have TMac still around and Luke Jackson.

Narccisist.

Mornington Penninsula Petal.

The DL head of recruiting tries to prove his case for excitementfor Brown by showing highlights from 5 seasons ago.

One of two, proven finals players or young talent like the selection of Rivers

Boring load of nonesense. never found you make much sense.

The faint possibility MFC listen to me and get on the phone to Gary Ablett tomorrow. Gary was lauded for the timne and help he gave to a Tiger player in the outer quarantine bubble. he willingly shared his knowlege and offered encouragement to an opposing player. Tell him we would love him to give, say, 6 sessions of midfield skill, not structures or game plans to our mids including Oliver, Trac, Viney, brayshaw and Co. Pay a fair $$$ but appeal to his generous spirit and love for the game.

Laughable. Richmond have just won their third Flag agasinst better forward lines than ours. My point is Brown is a lead up forward and there was not time and space for a lightly built lead up forward in last night game.

Rubbish. Richmond would have easily covered him with a number of options. He has a very poor finals record. Average 8 disposals and that was before the congestion of todays finals.

You do not seem able to follow an argument, only make your own points, so see ya, you are wasting my time. Are you in the cheer squad?

Fine on the Crows but they have tasted success with having an excellent home base. They are just looking to upgrade. Born to rule fools sure dont like anyone challenging their little club plaything. My suspicion is easily countered by the Club. Give us an announcement of a date for a home base.

it is a bit deeper than that. If my suspicion is correct then it is a good appointment in respect we need expertise to pull off what has been promised, promised, promised. However, again if my suspicion is correct we are needing expertise in an area members thought was well under control. I am happy to be on record of being awfully cynical of MFC after being a supporter with a gullible, glass half full attitude for most odf the past 56 years. No other Club in the league is appointing a Board member on the basis of their ability to help find and spend valuable Board time on building a home gound for Gods sake.

Bewildering if true. Club bulks a player up. Form drops away through lack of agility. Player on trade table.

I think brown would have struggled with the style of play last night. The pressure was a million miles from games where I have seen him tear us apart leading into open space. Hope I am wrong but see no evidence of him being a finals type player.

And you are perfectly entitled to be a half full on the Dees. Explain to me my criticism of Merrick please?

Do not tell me how to comment. If you cannot see the difference to appointing someone to your board as opposed to bringing them into the coaching or playing ranks that is not my problem. If you think Brown and Smith is what we need most. Well, good luck to you. As it happens I have rarely agreed with our recruiting choices for 56 years. This is a weak, losing Club in every respect. I love the jumper and the odd player but little else about it now. We are a joke with our we can beat anyone on our day mantra. Can you imagine what Clubs like Richmondsay about us behind closed doors. Sweat on them, put pressure and they will fold. And time and again they are proven correct. Go back and have another look at that game and objectively ask yourself if a 32 year old Smith and a 28 year old Brown with a poor finals record of eight disposals is what we need most.

And the Tigers pay the players the same $$$ in salary cap as us, and yet some here defend our recruiters and list managers. It is time full a full and uncomprimising review of how we value players.

Wasnt Brad Green at another Club 5 minutes ago.
