picket fence

Wasn't gunna go but now this has forced a rethink! Really admired this guy, on more than just a footy level as well!

He's got One thing over any of our perceived Quick players.........??? HE GETS THE BALL!! FMD I'm livid with this! Remember, Greg Williams WON a Brownlow being a slow player! Sheeit even Brian Wilson won one ... and he was even slower! Nup, Shocking decision MFC !not quite up there with giving Junior Mac the chop .. But still very bloody shithouse! IMV

FMD Mathew Bloody Stokes!? No way known. Soft, pace receding, for what 1 Year, max Geez what next?? Lets get PAUL Callery out of retirement?

Pftt as if I care a hoot! You aren't the first and won't be the last Pfft!

What can I say?

39 possesions last game! If we had players good enough to replace him I wouldn't be as perturbed BUT have a close look around, If a bloke is good enough to get 39 Touches against a team who I think will win the Grand Final this year then what the hell are we doing?? Nup, blokes should demand a spot in the side. Lets cut out the Gunna, Coulda Might be's and focus on a tangible. He played fantastically well this year, AND DISPLAYED LEADERSHIP , which is something we sorely lack! If anyone deserved another year Daniel Cross Deserved another year! Shocking list management IMV!

If this is true then this is a shocking indictment on club management. He has been one of the few "Stellar" performers for this club for two years. If true I will be emailing the club and asking Why should I continue to shell out my heard earned when those that earn't respect as a result of playing for the jumper have been let down so dismally! Not happy!!

Yes Yes and Yes, Yarran fired up and focused is a matchwinner! Much better than Newton and Michie combined!!! A giant Tick from me!

White has been a standout for many weeks now, if consistency means anything and if your going to pluck an Oscar Mc Donald from obscurity then logic should prevail AND HE SHOULD GET A GAME THIS WEEK! Oh wait a minute we are talking about the MFC

What would Jack Viney know? Is he a recruiter? Best mates eh? Hnmm pondering the significance of this! Anyway we have him and I can see some sense in keeping him on minimal money! I'm not expecting too much but BUT if he turns it around it would be a reasonably good outcome for him and the MFC Still would not discard a trade if one were to be offered.

Precisely my point A) We picked a guy who clearly was not ready B) Why did we pick a guy who clearly was not ready

HOW WOULD POSTERS REACT IF CROSS WASN'T GIVEN ANOTHER YEAR BASED ON HIS SENSATIONAL 2015 FORM??

Name any on our list that are suited to this game style!!?

Ollie Wines case scenario is exactly the opposite. So our crap culture is to blame then??

"Roosy says you shouldn't pick guys for a game, unless they are pushing the door down at Casey." In which case How did Oscar Mc Donald get a game?? Why didn't both Riley and White get games as they have shown more than O Mac! Lets be consistent!

I would prefer the coach to come out and say, "Again we were of to a terrible start. This is unacceptable, the players know it, the coaching staff know it and the supporters are the ones which are putting up with this and that, ...is the most unacceptable aspect of the lot. I want each Melbourne supporter to know that we are putting every resource into alleviating this aspect and putting in 4 quarters of EFFORT!

What about Kim Jong um whats his name? Anyone who can get multiple Holes in one when he never has picked up a Golf club Surely can get our blokes in "Premium" Condition"?

Do you reckon the players had a "Red hot go today"? First quarter clearly a "Standout" Or are you under the same Delusional Illusion of "Red hot Go"?

And might well be the best we have got!

On what basis was he given this game?? Not in best at Casey over a period of weeks, so if you are rewarding form then how did he get a game??

Isn't he a chess grandmaster??

After today I think we need to give serious consideration to making Cross captain for a year , Brayshaw VC and possibly Jesse Hogan DVC Chunky Jones Might appreciate concentrating on becoming a better footballer without the Captaincy hanging around his neck. Thoughts??

Whiten up all!

Nup one worse than that..........! Signing Skills to a 3 year deal 3 years ago! That's the worst. Under Neeld's reign!

So concussion ( which would explain his delusion) plus ankle!?
