Just want us in the game right to the end, so that there is something to watch. Alternatively a huge win would not upset me either.

Don't they refer to lowest score as a record as well. Therefore both clubs would hold part of the record on the frees disparity.

Well at least we hold one AFL record, 23-1 early in the third quarter. God we must be a filthy side.

Best post in ages.

Have been so busy haven't even seen fields. Wii tape all races as usual while at footy.

Well finally some good news. New sponsor. Hopefully more to come. A win saturday would be great.

No he is a recruiting officer not the head of recruiting. Viney holds that position for this year.

Might also be able to help in some off field issues from time to time.

Agree. A couple of players make a big difference if they are good. Take out Rioli and Franklin from Hawthorn and they are nowhere near as good. Same with Pendles and Thomas or Swan from Pies, Judd and Murphy from Blues. We need to add a couple of class mids and maybe with our 3 picks in the first round this year we will do exactly that.

Can see a very intense game this week as Tigers and us both desperate to get a win to stop season spiralling out of control. Loser will probably be declared finished for the year.

Interesting post.

That stat is never mentioned by the media when they can us for losing. 3-4 good players can make a big difference.

Many on here claimed Fitzy was hopeless and should be delisted. He is starting to show his value and he hasn't developed yet physically though he is getting there. Watts and Cook may be the same and we could end up with those three and Clark making us pretty big and strong down forward. Also with Tom Mc and Davis we have some promising talent who are big and strong. Gawn hasn't even been mentioned and he can play forward as well.

Sylvia's return is predicted now at 7 weeks after he got the injury. Probably shouldn't be surprised as sounded fairly serious.

I call it a normal day at the office for the MFC.

I think we just need some good news at the moment. A win against the Tigers. A new sponsor. Dropping the charges against LJ.

Cook's writing a book on the history of the Cats.

Same to you.

Just by the way, how funny would it be if Watts, Fitzpatrick and Cook all became big strong quality key forwards. It would certainly change our fortunes.

I am off there next week and miss Cats, Hawks, Saints and Dogs games. Might not be missing too many wins. As for your comment about the season being over, I think 2 games in with one at Pattersons against WC is too early to call.

I'm trying to analyse WC's team and it seems to go like this. They have mountains in the forward line Kennedy, Lynch, Darling and resting Cox or Nic Nat, more mountains in the back line Glass, Waters, Hurn etc, speed and skill in the middle, Kerr, Priddis, Gaff, Shuey, Selwood, forward crummers in Hams, Hill and marking crummers who didn't play in Le Cras and Nicoski and a strong work ethic adhered to by all which means you gut run all game. We have only one mountain in Clark, who gets poor delivery and hasn't taken a mark, in the forward line, one mountain in the backline Chip, who is not playing to his best, Sellar is probably another, no speed or skill in the middle only grunt in Jones, Magner, Beamer etc and we don't gut run ( back up and make position). That seems to be it. Oh did I mention we have the worst disposal in the league as well. These are the things that need to change for us to improve like WC and the good teams.

We activated both.

Don't cushion the blow, give it to us straight.

Not so sure that GWS or GC would make us use say pick 3 if we finished 16th as we could actually then take one of the two best players in the country. They would probably be better than JV. I don't think they would risk it. If we finished higher than 16th we would probably have to give our first round pick. That is how I see it. Also you could trade a player or picks etc and include that condition in the deal.

Injured.
