WELCOME TO THE MFC STEVEN! ❤️💙 You have our support ❤️💙

Not pointless at all. I mean, you started a thread called Shane McAdam Vs Jack Martin and no one told you it’s pointless and meaningless. That’s not to say no one felt that way, many probably did, they’re just not rude and disrespectful enough to say it to you 😉 #”Cranky”IsAnUnderstatement

Technically it can also be named after someone who’s still living. It’s just that it’s not common.

It’s never too late to be more understanding and supportive 🙂

It wasn’t the serious injury that got him to where he is now. My point is the serious injury hasn’t dampened his enthusiasm nor his will to succeed. In fact, it’s bolstered his commitment. Shane came to us, as you say, not in proper condition and not with the right attitude. That’s because he and Adelaide weren’t on the same page. They weren’t a good fit. I’m not blaming Adelaide for how Shane was at that time, I’m saying it wasn’t working for him nor Adelaide. I like to think our new coach will take this into consideration. Another big difference between us and Adelaide with respect to Shane’s ‘transformation’ is that Adelaide doesn’t have Matty Whelan.

Please let’s just enjoy being second on a ladder, any ladder. 😜

Yeah apparently their membership numbers soared when the AFL decided to allow imaginary people in the count.

see my post (above) ⬆️ 😊

Shane’s rehab is coming along very well. He’s working so hard and is determined to be back on the park early in the season. He said himself that recovery from this injury is different in that when he went down he was at the point of being the most confident and in the best shape he’s been in his whole career, therefore he knows he can get back to that point again. This is absolutely crucial because lack of confidence in himself (as well as in his body) was always an issue for him. Shane is the only player who, when asked which training facility they prefer, has said hands down: Casey. And believe me, I’ve asked pretty much every one of them at some point or other. Despite the drive to Casey, which no one likes, Shane prefers Casey over AAMI because the facilities are “amazing” and because they don’t have to share them with every man and his dog as they do at AAMI. He said this means he can rehab at the best level. He also gives huge props to our physios/medics for tailoring the perfect schedule for him. The difference between when he first came to us and the present time is astounding in terms of confidence and just as importantly…pride.

I agree that Tracc wants to stay but your reason (above) makes me laugh. His whole family had a table at the B&F and that’s a sign he’s staying? Would that it were so simple. Also, “most other player [sic] parents were at home” because most players’ parents have to pay to attend. It’s predominantly players’ partners who accompany them because the players get a plus 1. Other family members have to pay. That said, I’d be surprised if the Petraccas had to pay at all.

Great, now you’re gonna mozz Riv 😁

There’s a separate awards ceremony for the VFL/VFLW. This year it’s on October the 2nd, which is a Thursday night, it’s at the Art Centre, which is a great venue, and tickets are $180 apiece, not $300.

Uhm, it’s actually called an em rule (aka an em dash) and ChatGPT wouldn’t know an em rule if it jumped up and punched it in the throat. Idk what that even means but ‘elongated hyphen’ made me twitch 😆

The difference is a four-letter word that starts with F… … Farm

Then I wonder why Marty Hore was announced as a delisting yesterday? He and the club decided to mutually part ways three weeks ago (20th August).

If that’s how Richo announces the delisting of a player with whom he has a close connection, I’d hate to think how he’d do it for someone who’s not close to him.

Four wrongs don’t make a right.

What a class act you are, huh. Yeah everyone’s entitled to their opinion blah blah [censored] blah, but how about exercising common decency. You’re within your rights to post this, but there’s a thing called sensitivity ffs. Would it kill you to refrain from expressing your opinion on this occasion?

I think they’ll offer #9 to Jai.

Yeah sorry, you’re right. I keep thinking the Casey semi was the weekend before last. It seems like a whole week has passed between Saturday just gone and today.

It didn’t seem like his delisting announcement was “saved for the best and fairest…” It seemed Richo let it slip. At least I hope that’s what it was, because if it was planned that way, what a dreadful way to treat a player. Zero respect.

Totally agree but unfortunately that ship’s sailed. Yep, the SS Respect set sail at last night’s B&F.

Casey has a separate B&F award ceremony. This year it’s scheduled for the 2nd of October. As for the players being told of their fate at the exit meetings, not all are. These delisted players were informed on Monday.

Commemorative? Are you our comms guy in disguise? 😅 Incidentally, the word “memorial,” while mostly used in reference to someone who’s deceased, can also apply to the living. Let’s not hang the comms guy just yet. 😊
