Nup a better mans Jack Nicholson MRK 2

I have also seen him play and he's better than Mc Kenzie by far! Will complement our mid field nicely. Just what the Doctor ordered a not so poor mans Ollie Wines! Love it!

Yep agree and therin lies the problem. Would not play him until he starts to win his own ball. Not hard to get into space and pick up cheap possessions. We are not yet at the stage where we can afford the luxury of an outside mid paced receiver. We won on the weekend because we had more goers than in previous games. We had more players that were prepared to work hard and win the hard ball and do the 1 percenters. Add the flair with Roosy's coaching moves and you had a very committed playing group that worked extremely hard. Nup, Jimmy Toumpas needs to show a lot more to earn a call up in my book!

Just enquiring Whispering , how many of Toumpas possesions were contested?

One change Terlich for Clisby, maybe depending on Blease form bring him in for consideration otherwise that's it!

What I don't want to see is us taking him just because he is the son of a past player. I hold my point, we cannot afford any other mistakes re our drafting! Gone are the days of sentiment in footy! How many on this site who want him have seen him play? I would do thorough research and only ONLY select if he was the best player in the position of the draft. Otherwise don't draft on father son woulda, coulda, shoulda fantasy!

Yer what a wonderful thing if he can establish himself in Casey Ones!

Yessiree the Fence put a Rock lobster on it for a very nice sum. Love the jangle of moola so did Mrs. Fence who negotiated for part of the stake!

Belted Bail behind play about 4 years ago at Visy park Casey Vs Carltank ressies, Got weeks for it. One to be avoided! I have reservations about him.

Yeah just what we need another skinny runt!

Would be absolute Gold Smithy, in fact I might tape it and file away for times when I need a good laugh!

Au contraire, Logic?? Well my friend "The eyes move, the mouth speaks but Mr.Brain has long since departed" Really not that hard to work out is it. Pederson into the ruck with support of either Georgio or Mc Donald and lets face it in wet slippery conditions its all about contested ball at a lot of stoppages. Break even in the ruck ( something Spencer was not capable of doing last week) he got absolutely slaughtered, so you wont lose much by not playing him and after all he takes bugger all marks around the ground and in the wet will be a liability. Re jig back half slightly so that my plan can work and you hope we can win our share of stoppages and move ball quickly to Dawes, Watts, Dunne and whoever. Dunne once kicked Ten goals I think it was for Casey in the wet so why not give the Fence Idea a shot?? Logic my friend??? well at 0-3 zip lets try a little Edmund Blackadder "Out of left field Logic" "A plan so cunning you could brush your teeth with it"

Call me as mad as Queenie in Blackadder, Simple as Lord Percy, Brainless as Baldrick, but I'm going to put $ 20.00 on the Dees to win at " Edmund Blackadder Odds"! Anyone else game for the upset of the round possibility?

How spencil gets a game after having his opponent get 60 Hitouts is totally mystifying!!! Get Pedo and or Georgio in Ruck as it will be wet and bring in another in and under! Jetta desperately unlucky not to get a gig, should have replaced Bail.

Understand that but given his previous wage at Brisbane and his Melbourne Wage lets say 2 Milllion to date at age 26 That's not a bad start. When I was 26 I was a first time homeowner with a sizable mortgage, I toddler and about 7 Grand in the bank as savings! I know what money I would rather have been on AND whatever he does outside footy might lead to a long and prosperous career! Remember he still has about 35 years left to work!

No not happy, are you?

Thanks Master interesting comment! I suppose how much is enough? As an ordinary wage earner I cannot fathom the enormity of this type of money !The chance to earn in excess of 1.5 Million for three years of work is bonanza money in anyone's language. Those of us who will be luck to retire on the average of 400 or so thousand ( and I think this above the average) can only Dream of being able to have a 1.5 mill sort of money to pay for family concerns and enjoy comfortable retirement. I can only hope his issues do not become permanent!

Credibility is backing up your statements Machy but obviously you are not prepared to do that so can I suggest in future unless you plan to engage in useful debate and provide some evidence of argument that you not comment in future about any of my posts! Can I iterate I was not criticising Mitch Clark in any way, plenty would have done just as he did. I'm just providing opinion based on his volition to choose MFC over Freo. I have provided some "Food for thought" Something different and opinionated. I think at this stage Clarks wellbeing is the no 1 Priority. In so saying I wonder if he regrets signing with MFC Given the way things have panned out?

I'm still waiting for a reply Machy????

I.too heard the very same thing from an exceptional source! Typical MFC

CARE TO EXPLAIN MY IGNORANCE ?? WHY, what don't you like? Elaborate rather than abuse without substance. What have I said that is incorrect? If you want to be ignorant can my posts without giving reason, now that is ignorant!

I think Trengove would have and should have been dropped last year and only the captaincy probably saved him!

The Tide will turn at Port Philip Heads will be at approx. 10.30 am Tomorrow as incoming. I think keeping that in mind the fish should start to come on the bite at the turn and rising tide popular spots Stockyard Point, the pier at Warneet and other prime locations, the cemetery beach at Kilcunda, Andersons inlet in Inverloch and not forgetting the old reliable Mordialloc pier for the ever popular and beautiful tasting Gars! Nothing like a turning tide to restore hope, promote a sense of wellbeing and become at peace with yourself and the cosmos! Turning tide? yep keep em coming!

I would be more than happy if the club could negotiate with the league to wear the pink jumper which will feature in the field of women round . I love the color and the hose and believe that it looks very striking and would be an excellent clash jumper for evermore!

I have thought long and hard on this issue and I'm sorry to have come to the following conclusion. For once the club is not at fault and the reality is that Mitch Clarke and his love of the mighty dollar have seen us again being severely compromised. Let me explain. When the club went after him it faced an uphill battle. His management and he were hellbent on returning to his native Western Australia and there was a very lucrative offer from Freo for him to play there. This would have solved his pressing family issues and enabled him to return to his native state. This was said to be all but a done deal so what happened?? Enter MFC with a sackful of cash and a volition to lure Mitch Clark to Melbourne. Several meetings and increase in cash saw him finally agree to join Melbourne. He is reportedly the clubs highest paid player on around 650-750 K per year. This is a heck of a lot of money to outlay for a player who initially resisted our offer and said unequivocally that he desired a move back to Perth for family and other reasons. Just think about it....... He was hell bent on returning to his native state and nothing was going to change that! Nothing perhaps other than a truckload of money. Imaging 650=750 K per year to play footy? He agreed to join us and the rest is history. The injuries were bad luck. Bottom line it seems came over to us essentially for money pure and simple. Now what we have got in 2014 is a player who has endured a frustrating string of soft tissue injuries on top of his well documented Lisfranc fractures. Some family issues perhaps similar to ones which originally were very important to him when the Freo offer came up and his decision to turn his back on his own rationale and succumb to the lure of a sackload of money instead of proceeding with his original decision to go back home. Bottom line can money ever replace family and other environmental issues which he deemed so important to his future at the time? In hindsight how important is and was money now that these and other location issues have emerged ? It seems entirely that in this case sadly for player and club that it appears destined for his at this stage possible break from the game to address his issues. Sad for Mitch Clark and the club but if IF I am right a lesson to learn about what you really want and the betterment of self through following your heart. Not the $.
