    Terry Wilkins Kelvin Clarke Dennis Clark Marty Lyons Daryl Cumming Peter Thorne all played some good footy at MFC Greame and Ken Osborne, the former, a great player over many years for MFC in some dark days Paul Rowlands, Phil Rhoden, Obscure but played some footy at MFC, Marty Lyons kicked 4 on debut vs Footscray at the G. His son Jarred Lyons should be an MFC Player, we did have the chance and for some reason reneged on the opportunity. Now a great player at Brisbane! Good bloke Marty! Peter Thorne heck of a nice bloke and once kicked 8 goals in a senior game Is it just me or do others agree that in many cases the MFC DIABOLiCAL in developing and nurturing players throughout the ages compared to many other clubs!

    I thought him pretty average and slowish!
  4. Agree and what...... Exactly, had we done about that TERRIBLE inside 50 connection in the off season?????? Over to the coaches and if not coaches, players who cannot carry out the strategy. If the players then get rid of those who are perennial offenders and get in some who CAN DELIVER. If coaches then at the end of season, expect to see some major changes at MFC
  5. Here we go!!!? There were Two Tossol's, John and Peter, brothers, both played Senior Footy at MFC

    That wouldn't have been Chandler High, would it Swoop?
  7. Yes I probably had written him of as well, BUT Never say never, If he was to get on the park again it would put a smile on a lot of peoples faces around here and give great cause for optimism. GO HARLEY! Time the great Healer! This time of even better for him!

    Paul "The Count" Callery would be one of the best people I have ever had the privilege to know! Underrated but GREAT player, University Doctorate in Sports and Exercise Science AND fully qualified Carpenter/ Builder ( Hows that for Obscure not widely known info) Brilliant Golfer, Excellent Cricketer, Shocking fisherman! Just a wonderful human being!!
  9. The fact that the National Competetition began in 1987 should therefore include that season Rob Flower 's last year and so he should be NO1 Schwarz was a better player than Gary Lyon. James Mc Donald a better player than Brad Green and or Cameron Bruce Clarry Choo Choo too low Brett Lovett always one of first picked for the big V Not sure Todd Viney gets a gig I reckon Glenn Lovett was a better player when not injured! Steve Tingay to low Shaun Wight should be lower
  10. How we ever let Kevin Dyson go I'll never know!!? hard nosed midfielder with a touch of class and a thumping kick.

    Yep and after ahhhh how many years........56 you can find some positives??? Give me a break. The amount of bungling, shocking draft selections,inability to develop players.. Over many many years ,Has meant we are almost still STILL a basket case!! Oh tell me that the 20 or so points we lost to West Coast 2 weeks ago was an aberration!! We were MILES of the pace. Look carefully at some of the players who STILL can get a game!! Spare Me!! Sorry!! Goody aint the answer and u can write of this year. Make no mistake we are still Pretty GOD damn ordinary!!
