NON-MFC: Round 08
Haven’t seen or heard anything footy today until just now. WB WTAF!!??😱

NON-MFC: Round 08
They are a bit like that broken clock that is still right twice a day.

NON-MFC: Round 08
As I said earlier, we were ahead of the curve. Hopefully, we have moved on from this experiment.

NON-MFC: Round 08
Looks like they’ll need to kick 10 goals in the last quarter if they want to win

Part of their 25 year plan.

Shai didn’t like that contact much😀

NON-MFC: Round 08
Looks like we are just trendsetters. Seems like every game I look at in the last two weeks, every sideis one goal each in the first quarter… Eight goals each for the game. Hopefully, we don’t go back to that.

NON-MFC: Round 08
Like Owens Wanganeen– Milera is not bad either.

NON-MFC: Round 08
That was a game that should’ve been hidden and not talked about, ever. Commentary is hitting a new low. There doesn’t appear to be anybody in the booth that knows any of the rules. There was always somebody in the commentary box with no idea, but usually they would be corrected by somebody. Now there is not one single person with any idea whatsoever. On either channel!

TRAINING: Thursday 1st May 2025
Maybe we are also representing Tassie this weekend as well? They might be trying to get it to count as two games?

Was there a televised match of the school/under 18 teams?

TRAINING: Monday 28th April 2025
Are they just training now?

Next Generation
So we will either have Max until George is ready - another 10 years or more; get hit by another rainbow; recruit; invest in cloning research.

Next Generation
Both Hale and McEvoy were top 10 draft picks and are seriously underrated. Both about 200cm/105kg. Nankervis is very similar. All were specially recruited

Next Generation
Yes. We seem to get hit in the [censored] with rainbows 🌈 regularly

NON-MFC: Round 07
Harmes 3, Hogan 1, Bedford 1 🙄

Tom Fullarton
Interesting that we have mentioned Xerri regarding developing rucks. I remember watching him as a young player, and not being very impressed with his positioning, intent or skills. However, after 4-5 years of development with Goldstein and TC, he is a much more accomplished player. He is now 26 of course. And his skills are still a bit 🤮 The other factor to take into account is how it affects the defence of the opposition. Shorter defenders often overreact to tall players in space. This helps to provide leading lanes. It’s also good for a bigger players to learn to legally block in marking contests – something that we haven’t been doing recently, but JVR benefited from this week.

He competed ok in the ruck. When Gawn went off, too many other players decided they also needed a rest. Cream did move around and lead, which made space for the other forwards. Should have been used more but our kicking game is still a bit of a mess. AJ competes hard but has been mauled in the last two games by Madden/Keefe (both 204cm) and Colina/Hayes (208/211cm – Close to 7 foot). Unfortunately, probably the best thing for Verrall’s development was TC straining a hammy. Verrall has dominated in the last few games, especially when TC went down, getting quite a few hitouts to advantage. Forward craft looks okay. Needs to get more marks around the ground.

GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond
Number 26 for the yellow team is a joke. He just gave a free kick to angry Agassi for blocking Fullerton. No idea.

Voice to text sometimes gives you exactly what you didn’t know you needed.

GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond
Sometimes they are trying, but it’s mostly the older players that don’t want to play fast and direct to an open player. You can see them looking, before they just vomit to the goal square.

Think it might be four, but I could be wrong.

GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond
I wish I didn’t have to say this, but these umpires are having far too much of a say in the play. Apart from calling throws when they are not and vice versa, this 15m bull – [censored] needs to be forgotten about. They have more than enough to concentrate on if they can possibly get some blocks and marks paid correctly.

Didn’t Mansell just have the [censored] ball? So that’s holding the [censored] ball then.

FCS! Kozzy penalised for a legal handball Ralph – Smith throws the ball no penalty
