Too bad they can’t get more than 2,500 to rock up for a final hey

Jeez Max needs to talk less

After the flag, the footy world endured speech after speech from Roffey and Gawn about how good our culture is and blah, blah, blah. It’s no better than the best clubs. That’s what you aim for. It can deteriorate quickly when you seperate yourself from others as ‘special’. The women are great because they are a good team, they have great leaders who are respectful to the (very) different personalities they have below them, and their game plan is based around contested footy as a prerequisite for playing - which is the genesis for respect in footy. The boys can get back to that in 2023 if the leaders focus on it.

What would you prefer? ND53? They’ll be helpful next year. Delisted FA? They are keeping out speculative kids that we would have to spend time and energy in when we should focus on our great team and fitting in Grundy, Hunter, and JVR.

Good to see! Great additions and we got the better end of those deals. Both will play 100+ games for us and set standards in how to play to those that drove our flag win
-
No doubt. Just getting in first before the likely suspects put out the “the cap being up means Oliver’s deal gets better and better for us over time!” Its not like that, he will be underpaid anyway he is that good.
-
Waste of money having both Salem and Brayshaw back so I hope they allow him to move to the midfield fully.
-
Reportedly, he is getting a million a year with the cap at $14m but he has signed a deal that assures him a percentage of the cap so when it rises after the new TV deal is sorted - he will shoot up immediately. I either read that in one of these articles or on the radio.

Yeah I don’t see the problem. The playing of ‘official’ practice games is a waste of time and opportunity for players to get injured. The idea of putting it one state is odd because we aren’t the NRL - more than two states care about our game. But it can certainly get the attention of an area all weekend.
-
That’s very funny. Even funnier is when Ted Lasso did a version:
-
This is a training venue. We are talking about practice. If this were the NBA, teams would be paying us rent to play at the G. You are talking about practice! Practice. Not the game. Not the game that I live and die for. Not the game. We’re talking about practice.

As a coach, there’s a ceiling to mid rotations, the guys just don’t want two min stints. There is also an actual rotation ceiling remember of 75. More teams will see that 5th bench spot as an opportunity to help their number 1 ruck and we have two of the top 4 rucks in the game.

More like 2028
-
Lol. What.

206cm 18 year old. There’s your developing ruckman!

Newest Demon’s sport-swapping journey…

Seems like a great process tho
-
Yeah but you have to coach St Kilda… That work for the dole, hey. They make you do some demeaning things.
-
The game is ruthless enough as it is. Im more with @pewpewpew- why are we doing this at all so long after the win. Dining out on past glories is literally complacency.
-
Well said. He’s 21, and not the brightest bulb in Aisle 39 at Bunnings. Leave him be; we’re more than fine without him.

Well as an MFC supporter, I am a pessimistic optimist in that I expect the worst so any outcome is a happy one. And I will enjoy life but having any expectation of a reformed Schache is a recipe for disappointment. To enjoy life we must sometimes embrace reality…
-
I stand by this. And also, Williams will have a couple extra kids in the DNA academy to worry about. Better spent there than on a tall forward we are unlikely to play much.
-
Those damn pesky kids that Ross won’t play that did him in.
-
All contracts should be guaranteed and not able to be altered for the life of the contract. It shouldn’t even be able to be extended until a window for extension with 18 mths - 6 months to go. This should be a small part of the move to a better structure for payments and the cap.
