  1. Absolutely. Have been saying it for a couple of weeks now. Should have the game off and go home for a freshen up for a few days.
  2. Cam took a few years to get going by the way. In Rayner's second year, he played 24 games for 224 disposals, at 9.3 disposals a game. In Kolt's first year 2024, he played 10 games for 117 disposals at 11.7 disposals a game. Rayner was the number 1 pick in his year and Kolt number 13 in his year. You would expect therefore Cam to be a far superior player than Kolt at about the same stage of their careers. Kolt has come off an injury, with an interrupted pre season and has had a difficult year. Lets cut him some slack as we did for Jeffo and others and I am confident he will come good and we will have another good player in our side, plus he has some sh-t in him and I personally love that.
  3. Kolt and Caleb are suffering 2nd year blues, after injuries. The will be better next year, hopefully injury free and after good pre seasons. They don’t have to be stars at 20.
  4. Losing creates discontent, enough said.
  5. Glad I am self employed.
  6. Of all the Werribee players taken by clubs in the last year or so, Henderson appears the most limited.
  7. Not sure how singing the Dees’ song comes from a losing Eagles game where a former Dees’player is 3rd best for them, but glad you enjoyed the moment. You can probably sing it again now, as Casey won last night and a Dees’ player was our best.
  8. The Crows.
  9. Interesting that the AFL keeps fixturing a Pies rare interstate trip, to the GC in school holidays, ensuring a large Pies fan attendance and surprise, surprise, they then with the noise keep getting the best of the umpiring. Have they played at Geelong in the last 40 years?
  10. How badly do we need a Thilthorpe type?
  11. Untrue . I love to watch Carlton lose.
  12. Trying to be a little cryptic and humorous. Guess it didn’t work for everyone .
  13. Don't forget Kalani has two younger brothers and there are some more father sons possibly coming along like Flash's son, the President's son Oliver, Archie son of Peter, Tex Robertson son of the ground announcer, Tigga son of Trapper, Max son of Jnr's brother and others.
  14. Ghosty you just confirmed my info on Kalani. Love your info on Judd, I value him as do you.
  15. Extort is probably the wrong word. Could be his Manager.
  16. Everyone is interim.
  17. We have a President, fact. We will have a new President in August. We have a CEO currently. Fact. The new one is already working on club matters and starts officially September 1 Who do you want sacked in the next 3 weeks? Who do you want traded in, in the next 3 weeks? Who do you want delisted in the next 3 weeks?
  18. RIP Brian. Condolences to family and friends. Arguably the two greatest wingmen for the MFC are no longer with us. A sad day.
  19. I didn’t say we should do nothing. I was simply talking about whether it’s all the Coach’s fault and should we burn possibly close to a million dollars, or examine what else can be improved. I think we need to examine all the parts unemotionally, which I am not convinced you are suggesting, then do what is needed to get success.
  20. I have now got a very simple philosophy on all of this, we do whatever we have to for more flags.
  21. Josh Carr just sacked Chad Cornes who is highly regarded. They all do it.
  22. All of that is fine if the Coach is the problem and then everything is fixed. I haven't been convinced that view is correct yet. If we had kicked straight, we would have won several more games and might be in the eight right now. Is that his fault? We have changed to a new game plan and that seems to be coming along. That takes time. It could be up to a million dollars, I would guess, to move him on, can we afford that? Would a new Coach immediately make us better? Would we be changing game plans again and that takes time? Do the players want a new Coach? You and I don't know the answers to the above, so we will see what some who might, do about it. It is easy to go off half cocked and regret it later. I think Development, Recruiting and Assistant Coaching needs improvement and they have more impact than just the head Coach.
  23. Wow! He is a tagger. Serong got 11 disposals on him instead of his usual 30 plus and Freo lost by a goal. Hasn't missed a game for the Swans since he went their and was in their GF side. I only mentioned him and Bedford to show that we trade players to give them more opportunities, in a post about Derksen and the giants doing the opposite.
