Redleg

Given this an AFL directive through their medical team to retire him, the timing of this has impacted a club severely and the AFL should simply give us another 7-14 days, to take a replacement if we want to. They have done this, not Gus. It is the AFL's timing. Are we saying they got the medical report only on wednesday. Highly unlikely, as medical people would have had to meet and discuss it.

Given the AFL is part of the Officialdom forcing the retirement, surely we are given a few more days to take a SPP player.

It will be way more than that, with more players gone.

Sad day for the Dees and even sadder for Gus.

Maynard and Cripps put players out of finals with head knocks, knocking them out cold and ended one's career and their punishment was a Premiership and a Brownlow. Well done AFL.

No, not footy, just the way it is administered and portrayed by a pathetic, agenda driven and biased media. Gus, thank you for all your contribution to the MFC, enjoy your premiership and have a great life after footy.

Manure can help flowers grow, we are still very capable of blooming.

Yes, forgot the Cars song.

Yes, 1 game.

That would be an amazing recovery.

Yes I meant off, not up. I must have been thinking of the man shake.

I only want news of injury recoveries and no new ones. We start the season with several injuries as usual.

Shake it of.

Big call Picket, but at least you have seen him.

Just win it Dees and then as a bonus I can observe the media go into melt down.

What, the year of the Dimmie?

What is the banana and stick routine?

Well he isn’t a key forward either. We can settle on midsized one.

Except I am not a mod.

Do you all know that bananas are a very good food for curing upset stomachs?

I am not defending Goody, I am just stating what he did, in answer to a poster suggesting Schache is training very well and could be in our plans.

Well clearly Goody disagrees with you. Goody didn’t even see him as replacement for a terribly performing Tom Mac.

No doubting your commitment, to the Dees.

Not a bad result considering early reports.

If we lose, it’s because Head and Labuschagne were abysmal this match. Interesting also that we declared behind the WI score and we are within that deficit now.
