What gets you excited about the club?
Casey at a convenient location and time.. Watch the new guys for three quarters. Watch the seniors for 2 1/2 and slink out.

The Next CEO
It is a conflict of interest for those participating in the making of the decision. They would have a natural desire to look after someone that they know. They would be tempted to make DLers smile by picking one of their favourites.

The Next CEO
That would be a conflict of interest for the selection panel

Letter from Brad Green
Basically says that the Board cares a lot. We were sort of expecting that.

No.

Time to go Goody?
Daniher was not sacked. He was told that other applicants would also considered for the MFC job. I would have insisted that he finish the year at least. He may have eventually succeeded with his new gameplan. In any case, a temporary coach turns out to be pointless., barring Roos. Curiously, Balme was also introducing a new gameplan saying the players needed to throw the ball around more.

Tom Fullarton
On the other hand, JVR has no upside w.r.t height. He will remain stuck on 193 cm. Fullarton at 200 cm will disrupt the opposition's defence. JVR, Melksham and Fritsch are leading forwards Their selection as the tall forwards has the odour of a finals match.

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
A reasonable response to MFC hawking him around without prior consultation. MFC signalled that did not feel bound by the freely-entered contract. It is also ducking thr responsibility for offering over-long contracts.

The James Worpel Thread
Worpel has been out all year with with a syndesmosis injury in the foot This injury has kept MFC players out for a year plus.

New coach prospects
The chance that the best candidate played for MFC, is 1 in 18. Consider the criticism of Nathan Jones. And Schwab, Chris Connoly, etc.

And the salary dump.

CASEY: Rd 03 vs Geelong VFL
Don't tell me that his opponent kicked 4 if he did, bu Adams is more convincing this year.

CASEY: Rd 03 vs Geelong VFL
he is getting there :)

Back to the dark days?
Which leader did you have in mind? Perhaps, JnrMac and then? Rather than develop maturity in house, MFC bought in ageing stars like Cross, that guy from Geelong and others. Recall the senior players allowing Collingwood to monster in Watts on debut.

CASEY: Rd 02 vs Gold Coast
Holding our cards close to our chest?

Time to go Goody?
Time for Simon to shoot out the headlights or get his cute little fluffy tail off the road

The Charlie Spargo Appreciation Thread
That is the Goodwin way and it has worked once in the last six times. Live and learn, Simon.

pickett Petty if he is parked in the back-line to rekindle the feeding frenzy of past years

New coach prospects
This is for him to fix by benching and/or not selecting players. We may lose a match or two but this is happening right now.
-
Sam De Koning
Nah, he was surprisingly adequate in the interclub match simulations, Contracted to next year is about right.

NON-MFC: Round 01
Josh Battle was impressive on the weekend. Foolish to extend smugmeister Lyon. Their one trick is throw money at a purported messiah. Happy to watch from the stalls.
