  1. That's interesting. We have 4 players in the Top 100 Contested Possession winners in the AFL: Jones, Viney, Cross, and McKenzie. So Toumpas isn't really our problem here. For those interested: Clisby, Vince, and Matt Jones are our only players in the Top 100 Uncontested Possession winners.
  2. Is The Big Frog actually a Range Rover?
  3. And this lovely number for two years...
  4. White for 13 years.
  5. All blue for 20 years all up.
  6. Wore the band for 8 years, not the sash though.
  7. Who is RFA and who is FA? They are worlds apart in terms of how easily you can get them/lose them.
  8. It's up to him if he wants to continue playing. Most footy players are going to feel the effects of their career later on in life - not just the obvious candidates like Bail. As an NFL fan - I hope we can reel in the damage, the rule changes in the AFL to protect the head are ahead of its time amongst football codes. It's an existential question in the US right now that might change the sport at its core or make it difficult to play it at all.
  9. Exactly. I wish you could bottle his determination, desire and hardness. A few others at the club could have a drink from that bottle.
  10. Without the terms how would you know?
  11. One thing I will say is that the trade period/DFA did get some bigger bodies, but Michie, Tyson, and Riley will require work too, they are not plug in and play like Cross and Vince. Which leaves one 'net' one of these with Sylvia gone.
  12. Yeah, I doubt it. Not only are the odds stacked against Hunt, Harmes, and King making it, Georgiou looks nothing more than decent cover for a few games where Garland and/or Frawley are injured, and Jetta is a known jack-of-all commodity. I would have preferred to get some ready made role players in the late in the ND/RL rather than more projects... So many of our high end talent need work and attention. I just don't see the need to bring in low end talent that require just as much work.
  13. Then why bring it up? Who gives a frack what I was saying about the kid? And how am I too* nice? Explain to me what you are talking about, lest I misread another simpleton.
  14. And you are always picking on whatever anyone says about any player/coach/training session - have some more self awareness.
  15. I never had that view of Magner, it was an infinitesimal number of posters. And you have already forwarded such views to players, I do not wish for you to continue picking up such divisive minority views and sharing them with players as if these few posters are a swathe of MFC supporters - they are not.
  16. I am glad you and 'Tom' are so close... As I have said before - I believed a 20 year old simpleton. Get over it.
  17. I know you didn't mention September. We should expect a flag. You are too nice, a soft touch. Expect more.
  18. Jetta and Georgiou have one year to impress enough for a spot on the main list or they should be delisted. Marmes and King should both be guaranteed two years of the RL or what was the point - I hope the club realises that King will require possibly three years on the RL and two years on the main list to get a return, otherwise it is a waste of everyone's time. I can see up to 10 possible deletions again next season.
  19. I know we have picked up Vince, Cross, Michie, Riley, and Tyson but I would have liked to have seen a few RL spots to Banfield/Thomas/OtherBigBodiedPlayerWithAFLExperience... In regard to that we have Vince and Cross and lost Sylvia. I just thought a bit more preotection for the younger talent would have been advisable. Maybe they didn't see anyone of these types in the best 25.
  20. To S-home, one posters view becomes the whole community's, especially when he relays these minority views to players.
  21. I didn't comment on your negative views in that training thread... I think you should stick to worrying about what I said, not any supposed sycophantic motive for what I said.
  22. Well, you're pulling whatever Jolly can bring as a leader/mentor out of your arse so let's call it a draw...
  23. Do 'we'? I rarely judge picks because I do not watch any junior football, I keep my thoughts on recruitment to; those that have played AFL before, and general musings on why a type of player would be selected above another. If you don't think I have made a good point, say so.
  24. To a few on here the proof is the pudding! I would love to eat some pudding from the 2013 trade and draft period in a few years time.
