    They don't call it MFCSS for nothing. It runs deep in some, leaping from father to son and mother to daughter - bounding from generation to generation and infecting the red and blue blood of otherwise healthy football followers. There is only one cure - Premierships. Yae it is so.

    Then why does it exist?

    We have him. His name is Liam Jurrah. Don't let his size fool you, he is about as good a crumbing small forward as you will ever find. Austin Wonaeamirri is currently a blimp, so there's nothing 'small' about him. Perhaps he can get in shape, but until then - and maybe even after that happens - Jurrah is a better option.
  5. Chook
    I seem to rate him higher than most people here. I'd put him in the team before Bartram, regardless of size match-ups.
  6. Chook
    Give him a chance. He just hasn't had the opportunity to really flourish. I say we put him on a 4 year contract, just to really give him the confidence to go out there and take some speccies, which we all know is WAY more important than kicking goals.
  7. Chook
    Hell, yes! I'm stoked about this. Every time I watched him play this year, I really saw good signs from him. I'm a very happy chicken.
  8. Chook
    Perhaps.

    It makes one wonder if they are truely all the best candidates, or if their association with the archetypal "successful coach" has artificially inflated their value.

    You mean the ones who run 10k to and from school, books in hand, every day from the age of 5? It must just be genetics, right?
  11. Chook
    Waah, waah, waah! Why didn't we get that Darling kid? Now we're screwed! Another tall skinny Melbourne kid who needs time. Boy do we need a Protein supplement sponsor.

    I would be amazed if Brad Green would want the Captaincy at all. He didn't seem to enjoy it this year.
  13. Chook
    And that's a problem. If your best game was last millenium, you won't have much bargaining power. Brad Green should come to terms with the fact that job security is not a given for a professional athlete at the best of times - and that the best way to ensure another contract is at the selection table, not the bargaining table.
  14. Chook
    That's a pretty good point, and one which I didn't really think of. Still, you would think that the better midfielders would have the ability to hit a player on the lead no matter how tall or small he is.
  15. Chook
    Why not fix what's actually wrong with the team and pick up an honest to goodness proper midfielder? Our inside 50 count is in the bottom couple in the competition, but our "scores to inside 50s" ratio is high. For those of you who don't know what this means, I'll tell you: Our forwardline is fine. It's our midfield that sucks.

    Who's to say Varcoe's shoulder wouldn't have popped out in the first 5 minutes of Round 1. Injuries happen - much less frequently than you might imagine, I might add. Get over it and stop bitching. If the players truly didn't want to do it, then they wouldn't. Who are you to tell them what they should be doing?

    He's also taken millions of dollars from the Club. While he may have deserved that money, I have certainly not demanded as much from the club as he has, and therefore should not be required to "put in" as much as him. If that's true, then it is also good business to hold someone (especially a leader) accountable for an entire year's worth of bad performance.
  18. Chook
    No, the ones that get [censored] off by meaningless gestures made in insignificant games.
  19. Chook
    I certainly wouldn't cry myself to sleep if that happened.
  20. Chook
    I'd trade anyone in the Untouchables pile for Gary Ablett, so there's no such thing as an untouchable.
  21. Chook
    Significantly worse this year than last year. As a Captain, that's unacceptable. Hoo boy, I hope he can turn it around. And FYI, no smile is worse than a fake smile, and that goes triple for laughter.
  22. Chook
    Yeah, let's change our colours, too. Lets be the team of the yellow, red, blue, black, white, navy, purple, maroon, gold and brown. Did I miss any? Honestly, why not keep our modest, unique and time-worn song and just turn our attention to something a little more important?
  23. Chook
    I'd have to give credit for that nickname to Jaded.
  24. Chook
    Yes. I always thought that, too. It's all in the eyes. They are both sort of "bug-eyed."
  25. Chook
    Then it must be a certainty that he will.
