Team looks a little better this week, though no ruck backup for Spencer.

No, most likely an embarrassing oversight.

Not to mention on the coonskin hats.

Favourite of the locals is Fox Ragu.

I can't see why some, especially MFC supporters, don't understand this.

Amen.

That could be a correct assumption. Did the AFL also think that when bringing in FA that bottom clubs could be raped by the strong clubs, which is happening and which we seem to have been the major loser in number of players lost. I note Danny Frawley and David King, just to name 2 commentators, see this rule as an absolute disgrace, as it will help to keep bottom clubs at the bottom. We groom them and they take them. Fantastic rule.

Play Jordie on their captain.

Yowsah!

I am in a transedental meditation state as I respond.

Thanks. Agree with your last line, we have stuffed up over several drafts and trades. But it is what it is. What I meant to say is that the AFL makes rules, some of those rules have hurt us and continue to do so. Nevertheless we comply with the rules. When changing the PP rule from an automatic one, to a discretionary one, administered by the AFL, the AFL last year disobeyed their own rule by using matters that were irrelevant, like "Clark will come back and be a star and we won't have injuries this year". They were not part of their listed criteria. They made it up to justify a breach of their own rule after bowing to the pressure of the Eddies and Newbolds. I want the AFL to follow their own rules and give a team with many years of failure what the rule provides, nothing more nothing less. BTW, of course I would love us to be a good team and not need help, but ATM we are not. That is a combination of our stuff ups and AFL rule changes.

He still has it. Seriously, that is an impressive return to footy.

I don't care how we get better, whether it be older players traded or draft picks or Roos making a comeback. I simply stated AFL rules and how we have complied with them. Forget us stuffing up with earlier picks, the whole footy world agrees with that. Respond to what I said and explain where you think I have got it wrong in my staement of AFL rules and how we have complied with those stated rules and why the AFL should not follow those same rules.

It was an AFL rule that created 2 new clubs and gave them all of the top end of the draft, at a time when we were crap and were trying to recover. Sorry about the way I have put my original quote in, which you disagreed with, but I am not great at computers. Now to your response. Could you please tell me what part of the line you highlighted, which I have included above your reply, is incorrect and in what way. I was stating a fact and you seem to have drawn a conclusion from it somehow.

I posted this on another thread but thought you might like to read it. "I don't want to get bogged down with PP talk the same as many others but let me just say this: It is a rule of the AFL that consistently poorly performing clubs can be given draft assistance. That rule doesn't disqualify a club because of previous drafting failures, obviously. It was an AFL rule that we would have got a PP due to our results, which the AFL dropped to our detriment. It was an AFL rule that created 2 new clubs and gave them all of the top end of the draft, at a time when we were crap and were trying to recover. It was an AFL rule that allowed our number 1 pick to run off to GWS in the first 2 years of his drafting by us and funded by AFL money. It is an AFL rule that has brought in FA, which is not doing what it was intended to do, but has seen us lose Sylvia, Moloney, Rivers and probably Frawley, more than any other club and at a time when we are on the bottom of the ladder. It is also an AFL rule that allows the AFL to have a fixture not based on fairness, but revenue, which has compromised our financial position for years. We follow the bloody rules, let the bloody AFL do the same."

Ow! Just missed again.

He made Shintaro look good to the ladies. PS. I have often tried to jump backwards up into a tree, but haven't perfected the art as yet. I am still working on it.

Now you are talking.

Don't think they have it in them. Who would you like to be the tough ones, Watts who is scared of his shadow, Chip who doesn't give a sh-t, Tom Mc who is a nice guy, Tyson who is a youngster etc etc etc. To me the only ones with some aggro in them are Spencer, Viney, Kent and maybe Cross. The best of them has just retired and the other one has a bad back and hasn't played yet.

This topic is getting me pist off.

Go the Ninja. Love Tombey the Mist.

Think we need to move on everyone. Mitch has and I am sure we all wish him well. I now want what's best for the MFC.

Are our boys wet trackers? Looks like it will be pretty wet saturday. Oh hang on, it was wet last week.

What about simply locking the doors to the Blues change rooms and not letting them out.
