  1. FF With a licence to roam! His kicking technique is dreadful ! He misses too many sitters . This needs a MAJOR overhaul before next season! IMO
  2. I can well imagine Afl players looking back on their footy Careers rejoicing in a Casey Finals campaign! Yep TOPS!
  3. A Full Forward who cannot kick is no value to us! Would much rather se him at CHF and rotate Watts and Weeds next year IMO.
  4. Would he?? Surely playing Senior Footy would trump that! Particularly if the team wins!!
  5. NB If the rationale behind Oliver being dropped was to qualify for Casey I don't like it or agree with it!
  6. An injury prone , non proven player who drinks his own bathwater methinks. I agree with the club, they have looked after him and he does this. I wouldn't entertain any thoughts of getting him. I think he might be done. TWO bad knee injuries! Caveat Emptor with this one!
  7. Both surplus to needs NEXT!
  8. HE SEES BALL, GETS BALL AND DISPOSES WELL! Which is better than half of the team selected this week!
  9. NUP not buying this rationale! gets the footy exactly what we need this week v cats! If I were him i would be Verrry peased OFF!
  10. Worst decision in years Clarry has a dip !! Sheeit I just can't fathom this! Speechless!!
  11. I AM IN SHOCK CLARRY CHOO CHOO HAS BEEN DROPPED AFTER A BLOOD AND GUTS PERFORMANCE LAST WEEK! I CANT BELEIVE IT!
  12. Harmes over Clarry Choo Choo SHOCKING!
  13. Who honestly gives a FRC
  14. Well, im in meldown mode this is the WORST DECISION EVER!
  15. Farrrrrrrrrrrrrk that wth f This is BUUUUUUUUUUULSHIIIT SHITT Im livid Was in the best last week CASEY CAN GET STUFFED IF THAT WAS THE REASON FOR THIS IS CRAP!!
  16. Yeah!! Agree Moonman gotta lurve it!
  17. LOL Gentlemen, But it was a fine day in Romsey, Daylesford and Ballarat! We will leave Trentham out of the equation for now! Although Trentham Golf Course is a lovely course!!
  18. Dear Uncle Bitters, went passed palatial Romsey today ( on business) and spied a gent on the side of a hill on some acreage sunning himself on the Balcony of a palatial mansion with two cucumbers over his eyes sipping a beverage of some description in a state of absolute euphoria! Not sure why but i thought of you!!!
  19. FOR 2017 I WOULD BE HAPPY WITH JONES CAPT VINEY VC GAWN DVC WATTS DVC Happy if the VCs and DVC's as selected were swapped around!
  20. Third rounder be buggered! Paul Connors is an " Astute" player manager. If he has done his homework he would have sussed out that in view of Essendrugs Zero Duty of care and flagrant flaunting of rules, means that any player suspended has an excellent case to put before the league if not the Courts for Unsafe workplace and as result suspension which has then provided player and manager with a "Free agent" clause. I would think that the AFL being heartily embarrased by their inept handling of the issue from the start, would not want a player manager threatening court action to free his client from an unprofessional and unsafe workplace. SOOOOO WINNER WINNER WINNER!!! We get him FOC ( Free of Charge) Ah, just the way Fence likes it!
  21. IMO 1 He is a better kick than Hogan 2 He is a better Relief ruck than Watts 3 He ( CAN) be a matchwinner ( Kicks GOALS) which makes him better than Dawes. Package him up an offer Richmond Grimes and Possibly Trengove and see what happens! IMO
  22. Welcome to the Dees land of hope for the lost, the begotten and the NQR Oh , hang on .... that was pre Roosy!
  23. If anyone can remember?? Well I have to say, I will never ever forget these days as long as I live! I can remember the senior players making a pact with 8 rounds to go that whatever the cost they would devote extra days to training being together, whatever it took to have a Red hot crack at the finals. The belief in this senior group was unwavering in the opportunities as presented. At that time John Northey was a master people person. Very much an us Vs them mentality which permeated into a feeling that if all players could dream and believe, The dream would become a reality! And so I was privy to some very interesting behind the scenes player awareness and exposure to the way John Northey and Rob Flower created the mindset that ran along the lines of "If It is to be, it is up to me" Can anyone else remember the spinetingling sensation where Ordinary supporters could go down into the rooms and watch the warm ups!? Before master tacticurn John Northey would call a halt to the warm up. Call a player over to the masses of demon faihful and say for example,,, " Supporters this is Warren Dean, he has overcome some injuries and today, Today, he and the players behind him will give you the best efforts and integrity of the Melbourne football club today!! Now, we would appreciate you leaving the room so we can prepare thoroughly for the game ahead!" SPINE TINGLING STUFF! A mighty cheer would go up and you could see players FEEDING of the rabid supporter base that lay in the bowels of the now defunct changerooms almost directly under the Robert Flower wing side! Today! Ah Heady heady times!! Win after win after win the same process would ensue! I remember after the Dogs win going back to Minnootz Restaurent I think it was, where some of the players had gathered! And it went on and on until the Preliminary Final which I refuse to talk about ! This current team is young Raw and whilst not quite as hungry or experienced as the One in 87 IF IF the same set of variables ensue, some 29 years later and we somehow can make it into finals! Then I will again be transported to that Mystical, Magical, transcendent time when The MFC was the most important part of the universe!! Dare I dream??
