Strong chance of rain on Sunday. We're absolutely kidding ourselves if we select JVR/Turner/Jefferson in the wet. Flashbacks of Goody picking Brown against the Giants in Alice where it was a bloody monsoon.

2022-2023 obviously had high expectations - 2024 I just wanted to be entertained, and that clearly didn't happen. I don't expect a flag, I don't even necessarily expect finals (Especially if we actually select young players rather than making them sub for two minutes a game). I just want to enjoy watching us, which I think plenty of MFC supporters would agree with.

Pardon? Absolutely not, have you been watching us play? Midfield has gotten much worse over the past few years and our gamestyle with a bunch of inside mids doesn't hold up in the modern game.

Realistically I'd like to see him traded because we simply can't make him/Viney/Petracca work in the middle anymore (We haven't really made that combo work for two years now). I get people are very attached to him and at his peak he was a top 5 player in the league, but the game has changed so much. Personally I'd like the club to cut their losses and move him on but it seems the club thinks clearly nothing is wrong with that midfield, and we'll likely pay dearly for that in the future.

OK? I'm happy we won too. Not sure to the relevance of the scoreline to my post.

This is an insane post and symptomatic of a particular section of our fanbase that is legitimately living in an alternate reality. Trac was our best player in the 2021 finals, not only was he literally BOG in the GF but he also was at worst our 2nd player in the prelim win over the Cats. He then played a finals series with a broken leg in 2022. You're telling me Trac isn't the one who is connected to the club? The guy who was crying after we beat the Cats in 2021? Meanwhile your 'hero' Oliver wanted a trade end of 2020 because he cracked the [censored] at not placing higher in the B&F, then proceeded to completely go off the rails last year and put a massive spotlight on the club (I'm not even mentioning his terrible form this year). I'd be shattered if Trac left but I can't blame him for being upset - not only over the handling of his injury, but the complete lack of standards in player selection, teammates taking the [censored] off the field etc. The sooner our fanbase wakes up to how much of a hole the club is in (Due to our own doing) the better.
