Never post before your first coffee is fully absorbed. :p

Relax, we got this. Dees by 5 goals.

I was scrolling through this thread to see if anyone had mentioned this before i did a post of my own. My thoughts exactly. His good work might all be undone if we are left millions out of pocket and (still) homeless. He has no doubt been manna from heaven with regards to practically everything else he has been involved in, and its possibly already sorted, but until its confirmed, i will hold off a little on the prostrating at the Alter of Peter.

Funnily enough Beelz, if Angus stays fit and plays to his potential, i actually HOPE im wrong. That would mean Trac has turned into a fuggin beast, because if Brayshaw develops the way i think he will, thats what it will take for Trac to be the more influential player. Win/Win

If Angus can stay injury free from here i will make this prediction....... He will be more important to us over his career than Petracca. I dont say that because i think Trac is a dud (although he has been rated higher than his output deserves SO FAR in his career). I say it because Angus possesses something that not many AFL players have..... 2 sides. Now i know that a few followers of our team have criticised his disposal over the last year or so, and with some merit, but his early games displayed an ability to deliver off both feet that was so good, many were openly asking what his natural foot was. Trac stands up in a tackle as good as anyone i remember, but Angus has the ability to deliver from his right or left foot which is a crucial skill for an extractor. Trac might provide the cameos, but my money is on Brayshaw to impact the game more effectively, more often. Once he has full confidence in his own form/fitness this kid will be great. *the only caveat is that he stays fit.

Meh, just as predicted "WE FRASHED EM" Seriously though, finally seeing some value in Lever. Thought he was really good in patches today. Brayshaw was great. One of his best games for the club. If he can keep improving his game he should become a first choice mid. Really adds to our rotations. Hogan is a star. What a huge tank he has. TMac makes us much better too. Harmes was also pretty good today i thought. ANB however, sorry mate but you need a run in the 2's to find your mojo. I love the kid but he just doesnt have the touch atm. I predicted a 6 or 7 goal win so im feeling on fairly good terms with myself atm. Take the win, especially as we were playing 3 games so close together, and the oppo has been smashed in the press all week. That was a good result.

Supremely confident. In the immortal words of the average toothless Richmond supporter,,,,,, "WERE GONNA FRASH EM" *sic

I have a strong hunch that we are into him, and have been for a while. He will look good in our jumper.

I have not been more confident of a win this year than this Sundays game. I was also confident against North, but i really believe we have the Saints covered all over the ground as long as we take the game on. Plenty of our players have been down, but i have genuine confidence we can take this game by a decent margin. (5-7 goals) Ofc if the unthinkable happens and we lose, i will be back to saying "Here we go again", and calling for Goodwins head.

Can you get Dangerfields pic on your next card ?...I would love to see him have the year Brayshaw had.

I lost the will to live after hearing that song. I need to amputate my click finger so it cant happen again.

Another good reason to be a cat person.

lol yeah he was taking the piz Tracca.

Disagree. He will be much better than "fine" imo. :p (a couple of seasons and he will be a ripper) Good win today Dees.

I will be this weeks sad-sack and predict a Druggies win by about 5 goals. So lacking in faith in the team, i have planned a 60 km ride on the pusshie instead of staying home to watch another low skilled game of junk. Surprise me Melbourne.

Might have been better to do it tomorrow during the game..... :p

Another nuff nuff who thinks if we all cheer harder, the team will win more games. Seems to be an epidemic on this forum lately.

Or Bugg. Or Pedersen. We all have our whipping boys.

Based on Levers output so far, we should demand one of out first rounders back from Adelaide......................

The whole comp is at the moment. We all know what it will take to stop the sniggering, but we are rock bottom in form and confidence. I actually see the Druggies winning this one. What will i do?.... I will ask the person in charge of my roster to find me shifts on all the Saturdays/Sundays i decided to take off to watch my miserable club play footy. Might as well get time and a half and ignore our stinkfests. I will drink less, stress less, and have more money in the bank.

Problem is we will need all of that to happen before we are a realistic chance. Coaching and development seem to have gone backwards based on the only available evidence so far this year, and we have to hope that for some unknown reason, good players (read "upgrades") want to come to us on no more than market value coin or even a bit below, as we seem to have paid overs for someone who is currently not performing as hoped. I have very little confidence MFC will miraculously find the answers to our premiership puzzle any time soon.

Its fairly obvious that some in the club (and many supporters) thought we were in the window, hence giving up 2 first rounders for Lever. We may well come to regret selling the farm for an intercept marker, when we could have just kept Howe. It may turn out ok, but so far that trade has been a disaster. So far.

Contracts mean nothing. Lets just wait to see who asks to be traded. If we keep up this current form trajectory, there may be a couple who ask to go somewhere else.

Hey come on guys, look on the bright side. We didnt lose by as much as last week...... They didnt double our score...... There were no injuries........ I mean, how many positives do i have to list before you accept we arent that bad ???? Brand Repair, MFC style. P.S. Goody and his defenders can GAGF. You think YOU were offended Jackson?? Ask the members how they feel after another surrender.........
