    Nah sounds more like he was just very disappointed that his lad didnt go to MFC. He really did want us to pick Ollie. Our fault, not his i think.

    His family ( old man in particular ) hate our club for overlooking him last time we had the chance. We said we were gonna pick him but obviously didnt. MFC are not likely to be much of a chance even if he does want to leave. Dont have anything more than that but i do keep asking the question of my source
  3. Hard as a cats head and hates losing........... AND he has skills. Exactly what we have needed more of for years. Might just be our biggest surprise packet in "18
  4. This post made me quit glue sniffing...................................
  5. I started barracking for this post.......
  6. We lose round 1 to the Cats by 4 goals, with at least 3 of our best 22 out with pre-season injuries. Hunt does a hammy early in the year. Stays 426 for 8210. Maximum starts the year in red hot form and at the half way mark of the season is second fave for the Bluey behind Oliver, who continues to rack up 30+ weekly despite hard tags. Oliver also finishes the year with a kick to handball ratio of 40/60 and multiple bags of 2 or more goals in a game. Pedo to play as back up ruck, switching forward, and is important in a few wins before the bye. By the half way mark of the season, Weed takes his place and TMac relieves Max in the guts instead. Young Sam starts to look at home, and shows enough to have the press pumping up his tyres as a "future star". My boy ANB does a Ben Simmons and racks up multiple triple doubles in the forward line. ( kicks/handballs/pressure acts) Our Coach to FINALLY remind the team how long it has been since we beat North. Privately AND in the press. We have a percentage booster against North. Essendon have a percentage booster against us. At the Bye we are in 8th. Start slowly post-bye but finish the year well to finally make the finals in 7th. Lose that final to eventual premier Geelong. (During the year, we have at least one player go down with an ACL. No more broken feet though, so its not all bad) Trac to slightly disappoint. (Improves, but doesnt take games by the throat regularly despite the obvious talent/hype) Jesse to crush it, before suffering an injury in round 10-12 which sees him lose form and fitness. Tmac wins goalkicking. Viney wins Bluey ahead of Clarry and Hibbo. At least one story in the Hun saying Hogan wants to be traded to Freo, and one story saying we made a mistake trading Watts after we lose a close one with bad kicking. 3 Players who improve the most = Joel Smith, Angus Brayshaw and Corey Maynard. 3 Players who slide the most= Bernie, Jordan Lewis and Nev Jetta. Surprise packet = Charlie Spargo who plays 10 games. Other clubs.......... Improvers = Carlton by the most, with Essendon also improving. Collingwood. Obviously, i believe we (MFC) also get better. Sliders = North who will only win 4 games and the spoon. West Coast who will miss the finals. Hawks who win no more than 8. Port.
  7. After having won the most prestigious award on the internet just last year, i feel i have an obligation to take my time with next years predictions, if only for dramatic effect. I will consult my crystal ball and post the results here when i feel you are all emotionally ready to hear what is going to happen. @faultydet if you want inside information before i post, you know my number.
  8. Yep it was good, but lets see what happens for the rest of the series. Great players back it up. Unfortunately Marsh isnt a great player. Hope he makes me eat humble pie.
  9. Jack, you can talk yourself up all you like, but the fact remains you just didnt care enough to get the best out of yourself while you played for MFC. That, and you were afraid of the contest. Dont think you will be greatly missed by anyone who values effort above being a nice bloke.
  10. How the F does Shaun Marsh get ANOTHER chance to embarrass himself. I am absolutely gobsmacked that this turnip gets a cap yet again. Bloke is not, and will never be a number 6. Totally defies logic.
  11. Sure Saty, you are a legend who all the boys love...... *chortle. You are in fact ridiculed (behind your back) by some you think you are respected by. P.S. your membership entitles you to a seat, a scarf, and not much else. All of us can have an opinion. Yours is no more important than anyone elses. If you didnt care what others thought you wouldnt keep replying. P.P.S, i thought you said "bye" ? You sure are clingy for an older guy. Go Dees.
  12. haha yeah jog on Santa, you are not the players fave regardless of what you think. I know, i asked.
  13. lol not the first time i have heard that name either, although its not the players favorite lol.
  14. lol at no stage did i try to talk anyone out of doing what they wanted to with their money. In fact i made it clear to anyone with a grasp of English that its what I would do with my money, not what they should do with theirs. I seriously worry about the comprehension skills of some MFC supporters. "Respect if you chose to stick with it though." wasnt clear enough mate? Peace out Wells.
  15. Do you honestly believe we will make it to the GF next year though? I mean, deep down genuinely believe? I get that your word to your lad is solid, but geez its a tough one. I would have more faith in scalpers on GF day than i do in the team to get there. Call it 50 years of disappointment. You have probably been longer yeah? If money was really tight, i would probably wait till the very last week it was available to make that sort of commitment. Almost $500 for 2 is big coin for a lot of us (Im a part time nurse so im hardly rolling in it either) Respect if you chose to stick with it though.
  16. I dont mind that at all tbh. At least we couldnt be accused of getting ahead of ourselves (Again). The heat is being applied behind the scenes. Not before time either.
  17. lol if you knew what the players said about you when you were not around you wouldnt be such a kiss-arz. "Santa-Stalker" was the best i have heard so far. Keep up the training reports though, pre season comedy is always appreciated.
  18. Club increased it by so much because they were sure the team would be in the finals and could gouge a lot of people who believed the same. IF we make finals in 2018 expect a sharp rise for the same guarantee in 2019.
  19. Thing is, a good start to the year will not be enough to bring many back. We could ace the entire pre-bye period and still miss finals. That is the real measure for a lot of ex-members. Finally bloody deliver. No more promises. DELIVER Dees. Then and only then will i consider rejoining.
  20. The club failed to deliver what THEY expected. For the second year in a row, after many other years of even worse performances. Im guessing English is your second language ? Dont bother replying as you are on the ignore list.
  21. How ever will i manage......
  22. MFC said that to thousands of memberships with our round 23 performance. No doubt you have signed up yourself and all your pets to make up the difference.
  23. The club stated for the past 2 seasons that THEY expected finals..... we missed out both times. How is that not under-delivering? Events of this, and every other preceding year of my life are irrelevant. Wins for next year are all that matters. If you and others think you need to buy memberships each year without question, well, ..... awesome. I can and will decide for myself if the club has earnt my cash. For the 2018 season they havent. It may happen or it may not. Wins will decide, not blind faith.
  24. It only took until the very next post....................
