    Taken out of context, I meant to say wouldn't be back in the ones this year.! Prefer to play others and see whats on offer! Not out of the club. He is contracted !

    No he wont, for the many reasons already stated on this site!!
  3. Yep, I think this is on the money and probably should be, earns a game in whatever position plays his 300th but no more than 1 more year. True and valient servant for such a long period of time! Ive changed my view a little!
  4. Thanks for some perspective. Would still like clarry at around 85 ish!!
  5. So why did Clayton Oliver, Only spend 74% of game time on the ground? Still played an excellent game. Compare Nat Fyffe 94% I remember thinking Clarry seemed to be off for longish periods of time. Can't be fitness! I hope the rotations are keeping our best on for longer periods rather than shorter. I can remember him pacing the boundary line in the 3rd Quarter desperate to get back on the ground. Just also Gus 71% Viney 81% Recon we should be up to 90+ % with ourn mids, If Fyffe can do it why not Clarry??

    Was at the "New Member" function yesterday, Please no pack drill Why, who etc! Anyway special Guests were Jeffy G and Dunks. Both spoke impressively and well. In fact Jeffy Garlett came across as a very honest, shy, gentleman His arm was in a sling and seeing surgeon tommorrow is the word and will almost certainly need surgery, same shoulder he cooked in the pre season He was happy to have photos taken, sign anything put in front of him and have words to supporters. I don't reckon he is done yet and I hope he stays around for another year AT LEAST I do believe he CAN get back to something near his best and reality is he can kick goals he has in fact kicked 312 of them over 178 games I hope MFC keep him around as I feel he still has plenty to offer Nice Guy Jeffy oh and by the way the gourmet sangas, hot savouries, spicy burger sliders and garlic chicken balls were sensational Well done MFC

    Ah I thought this Thread was about Oscar?? Ah no, depth only
  8. Cant have it all ways! But I saw the Remnants of what we were like in the finals last year. GROWING BELIEF and playing with some Abandon.. but Strangely more belief in the way defense was set up.. May was enormous, so too Frosty, Now just get LEVER back and Hnmmmmm Still many deficiencies but with Sage recruiting, development of existings Et AL we might be Ok In 2020
  9. Sheeeit Dazzle why not!
  10. Ah yep have to agree and add Gus, Clarrie when going got really tough, Viney, Maxy, Frosty AND.. MAY!
  11. And played a wonderful game inspite of being tagged !!
  12. Capt 2020 There.. I've said it!
  13. Yep exactly like today for example!
  14. Wow, let's break out "The Grange"!!
  15. Yeah Nar Nar, lets play Paul Rowlands at CHF?? surely a good bet!! And Ray Carr at CHB! Paul Callery at FF and gee we have a pretty good unit Nar Nar and Nar Gee another few Nar Nars and I would be Madder Lake!!
  16. And I said then same Bulltish Bulltish Bulltish For what GAIN??
  17. I doubt Viney has improvement in terms of Fitness or Learning new tricks. I iterate that I would consider trading Viney, but Not Brayshaw! I take the point that MFC Culture Killed Junior Mc Donald, but I rate Junior much higher than JV !
  18. All Good if he bet on a Dees Loss Smart very smart!!
  19. Thoughts ?? Ill tell you what VINEY needs to be on table before Brayshaw! Gees and if so then Clarry Choo Choo or anyone else is on the table.Harmes , sheeit lets trade away our next B&F winner,!! Even Big Max yep let's have a fire sale! So,,,, Humour me.. What would we entertain for these, Trades????? Nup Brayshaw is the least of our concerns!
  20. YEP Unbelievable!!
  21. ABSOLUTE GARBAGE ( Where is the DRILL) Training finished with the usual freestyle goal kicking practice at the northern end where players practiced whatever they needed to I suppose, set shots from 40 m for some, running snap shots for others. MORE GARBAGE ( Even more so) I asked him about our goal kicking yips and shouldn’t we be working on our technique more and developing routines. His response was interesting, yes they are spooked on setshots but no we have done all that technique stuff, it will only turn around when they stop thinking about it. By which I think he means to stop thinking about the mechanics of it all because that is self defeating. Well ... my response to this is ... We really DO have our heads in the sand.. Goal kicking is an art and needs SPECIALIST instruction. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE under Match conditions "STOP THINKING ABOUT IT... SERIOUSLY???? THINK MORE ABOUT IT AND FIX THE PROBLEM Nup GARBAGE, And the worst is the Club STILL STILL cannot see and remedy a problem!! Hnmmm Thanks for Observations Earl Hood!
  22. About as much cHance of me winning that 75 Mill Tonight!! NONE
  23. Yes yes yes yes and yes is that enough?? You forgot about Jeffy?? Could have and should have kicked 4 last week!
  24. GARBAGE, shows more leadership then Viney and possibly Jones ON FIELD!
