Salem’s Long Journey Back
Looks in top form now. If he has a big season so will MFC. Key player to set up the play especially to Langdon.

Training Ground?
Just endless talkfests. If not a gov hurdle then a local environmental pressure group or resident action group will block any MFC proposal. Essendon has a nice setup at Tulla. Lets share it . LOL Not a bad idea considering we spend more time than any other Vic club travelling interstate.

TICKETING: 2024 Opening Round
First game on March 7. Strewth. Too early .Can dees go B2B at the SCG. Would surely be a first. Grundys comments were fair and totally justified. Not a thing. The fun has gone out of it for me. Cant stand the media and AFL corporate.

Maynard must get at least four weeks
I would love to audit the AFL. Millions will have vanished into the ether. Tricky Gil learned everything from his dodgy predecessor. The media have constantly watched his back and celebrated him as a great administrator. F...off. Still not sure i will be tuning in next year. The disgusting behaviour of the media and AFL towards Brayshaw/MFC after the Maynard incident will linger for many years.

2024 Injury List
Its going to be fascinating to see how he turns out after being idle for 12 months.

2023 Player Reviews: #4 James Harmes
Well now he's out of business. With us anyway.

2024 Injury List
Do clubs have to pay the players entire season match payments even though he never plays a game. Must be a huge downer for any club to flush 60 -70 K down the lav every month for 12 months. It happened to us with Lever on about 850K. Cornes must be having a fit with all these players getting massive long term contracts now Darcy got a whopper at Freo and Rozee. Youre one twist of the knee away from a disaster.

Training Ground?
Are you sure about that? I havent lived in OZ for a while but isnt Caulfield on the fringe of the inner suburbs? There are loads of Thai students in Melbourne. Many will be at Chisholm campus. Its not in the middle of nowhere.

2023 Player Reviews: #4 James Harmes
I recall Harmes being MIA on a few occassions and the club said it was for personal reasons. Thats an annoying limp excuse. What was he doing?

2024 Average Age per Team
Melbourne players are basically the same age as the Cats? Did Hawkins and a few others retire?
-
2023 Player Reviews: #4 James Harmes
True, but theyre simply not good enough to get a regular game. Weideman Pruess. Hannan Hunt JJ Harmes Omac Dyson even Bedford. With the possible exception of Bedford and Hunt at a bottom slops team they'll mostly struggle at their new clubs.

2024 Preseason Camp in Lorne
Do they really need to go on a camp? The male bonding espirit de corps stuff is a worn out cliche in the 21st century. They already have to constantly travel between two training venues. The Crows and Tigerland song say HI.

2023 Player Reviews: #4 James Harmes
I will go back to THAT kick by Lever to Max infront of Geelongs wall of defenders in the last round at the cattery. The ball had to go exactly where it ended up or likely no mark no goal no win. The oldest players in the Geelong side knew we were going to win the flag. You could tell by their body language when they mingled with the dees players. Winners respect winners. Geelong knew.

Gather Round Tickets
Id rather go 4w driving in Afghanistan for a week than go to Adelaide for two B2B games against the crows and port. Not kidding. Gather Round is a joke, It should be played in Sydney or Brisbane- if anywhere.

Harley Reid
I dont think rigorous AFL training has been on their agenda for some years now. All sun, surf and KFC buffets over there.

Jake Bowey Re-Signs until 2026
Good news. No regular players want to leave MFC only fringe players pack up their gear and seek greener pastures. Maybe time to move Bowie up the ground because most slots down back are filled. No harm in plonking him in the forwardline during practice matches if he shows something during the preseason in January.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 4th December 2023
AFL players get alot of time off. How does it compare with NFL and Premier League? I bet the AFL is well ahead on free time.

TRAINING GALLERY: Friday 1st December 2023
JVR looks like a man mountain. He must be over 100 kg. Looks fearsome. Goodwin seems to be enjoying himself. That should upset the Herald Sun no end. All good.

Free Kick Ladder 2019 to 2023
Meaningless waffle. Footy season now finally over. Nothing for the media to babble about except cricket and tennis. Why dont they all just go away on holidays till Febuary and leave us in peace.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 4th December 2023
Sounds like our 3 trades from other clubs have no intention of being just depth players kicking the dew off the grass in the VFL. All good for 2024.

The Gabba Olympics Saga
Never understood the popularity of those gimmicky yankee bars including TGI's. Theyre just a bar with overpriced drinks and a few silly photos stuck on the wall. Theyre usually opened or owned by some shonky Hollywood celebrities. Rather drink at home or at a friends place.

Harley Reid
Sounds like another Harley we all know. Bennell was nailing goals from the boundry barely looking at the goals during pre season training in 2019 i think. Going to be interesting watching Reid next year playing for entitled overweight slobs.

The Gabba Olympics Saga
I was shocked when i heard Brisbane got the Olympics in 2032. Obviously there were no other serious bids. Absolute insane waste of money for a 14 days athletics meet. There will be cost blowouts (corruption) on the multiple stadia and facilities needed not to mention soccer and baseball tournaments ffs. No way Brisbane can afford the cost. The Federal gov will be pressured to bail them out financially. Dont be surprised if you all end up paying for major stadia infrastructure in Brisbane. Theyre scabs in QLD. Watch them like a hawk. They'll want you to pay for it.

'Hamstring awareness' You cant make this stuff up. AFL Footyspeak is worse than Orwellian double speak.

Training Ground?
I have a very novel suggestion for where the MFC should train. The MCG , its our goddam ground and was for decades until the 'powers to be' evicted us. If i were in government id have them sent back. No added wear and tear on the ground . Reserve games were played on it all the time in that era and the climate is drier. No mud heaps.
