Sir Why You Little

Feel the same mate. Our B Side had a red hot go last week and hung on in very hot conditions (29 degs in the shade)That is the attitude we must expect every week, if this club is going to get better.

Not a word will be said until the investigation is over. This is above the AFL's head.

You can do it O.D.2012 is over. The list has been fumigated of disease!!

FIRE UP YOU BUGGERS. CARN THE DEMONS. See you at Casey on Saturday.

Anyone remember the 3UZ transfers? I had them all over my bedroom window

Dangerous Ground here. The game will continue to get quicker. It's human nature. To drop the cap by half will mean players will need completely new training. Personally i don't like capping. If a player needs a rest they should get one. Its not 1979 anymore.

Wow. Those old cards are fantastic. Thanks guys. Would love to read those old Footy Records 71-74. I had them all in a shoe box as a kid...no idea where they went. Moving house always sucks.

Just a reminder..Why was the MFC denied a 3rd Party deal to keep $cully? We were never given any reason for this. But of course the deal had already been $igned off. Us v Them Demons. The only way this club will survive.

Franklin....Gawn! Freo Mining $$$ will set up the Franklin mint very nicely. Vlad our bloated one got very heated on the the wireless this morning. Cracks are appearing in his Empire at AFL HQ. Could it be that he views only flags won outside of Victoria as profitable? Won't be long, his reign of tyranny is approaching the end

Glad you enjoyed the Rollercoaster ride so much. I didn't. I had a great seat in the old smokers stand btw. Saw everything in 2000. Waited till the end to.

Yep my old mac got it fine once it had buffered...

Yes...but he is a Rhodes Scholar compared to 5aa...That was actually funny

That commentator did an excellent job on that game... Good on him..Kudos.

Please Explain.

that's Hilarious Stuie. First week of Clown School is doing you good. You're on a roll now...Vegas beckons....

i agree mate, but the fact that the AFL extracted such a huge pool of money. The TV Stations would have stipulated a strong say in the draw, sorry fixture. I cannot speak for Fox as i don't know there money pool, but i do know Commercial TV makes a very small profit or breaks even during the Home & Away. They make $$$ in September. Now with this new deal 7 will want to make money on the entire season as it cost them heaps. They have to. The AFL screwed them. But i have no doubt 7 was heavily involved in the fixture. Bottom feeder clubs are mere extras now. They will all need assistance if you read the aricle today St. Kilda have paid $15 million to the Etihad shareholders. What a sham that has turned out to be!!!

Yes they were BD..But what did ND & the Club do in the off season to address this gaping hole?We went backwards sadly. I am sure that wasn't ND's intention, but it happened. Didn't make the 8. We didn't learn in those years. ND's basic gameplan stayed the same.

give it a rest Stuie...

answer the question Stuie. Were you there?

is that the best you can give me. MFCSS is a load of crap Stuie. Did you go to the 2000 GF? Were you there?

Written by Matt Thompson. Enough said. A true media vulture. Who is not that smart, he has little tact.

You must factor in the most Important factor into all this. The latest Broadcast Rights cost Ch 7 & Fox $1.5 Billion which was higher than anyone expected. In return these 2 Networks particularly 7 will demand to get top return for their purchase. Ch7 are not interested in cellar dwellar games anymore They NEED Blockbusters to pay the bills. The AFL was chuffed when this deal went through. I wasn't

ok Stuie for the last time. Please tell me what happened in 2001. That year to me is far mor important than 2000. I have explained my POV.

aah Stuie we will just never agree. You are just not tough enough on yourself. You accept 2nd best gleefully. Yes we made a GF In 2000. I was there, queued up at the MCC gate at 1am with my dad....we got absolutely thrashed in a game as i have previously stated was over at the 10 minute mark....BUT what was even worse was in 2001 we failed to make the Finals. So we not only did not LEARN from 2000 to get better, but no we went Backwards. Do you understand my point? Alan Jeans is a great coach..when Hawthorn lost a GF they always came back harder the next year John Northey was pretty close to Jeansy but did not have the raw talent. He still got us to September continuously for 5 years. ND had more talent at his disposal but could not get it to gell with any consistency...thus he was badly flawed in the job. IMO he should have been moved on at the end of 2002. We knew by then what he was capable of. Close yes & a top bloke, but flawed as a senior AFL Coach in a big way.

Where did i say we were due for anything?The Rollercoaster is a fact that you happily accept. I find it a a disgraceful piece of history. Summed up beautifully in the 2nd & 3rd Q's of the Adelaide Final in 2002. Brilliant but also shockingly flaky with a weak underbelly. Only the ND coached MFC could lose a game in which we also played some of the best footy ever played. Call me a fool if you wish Stuie. But i am right.
