  1. Why? I had forgotten him, until your little reminder...
  2. Can’t have enough Midfield Depth Viney is out long term. Someone else will go down at some stage. It’s red hot in the middle
  3. Well with TMac down for 8 weeks the Weid will need to be a key forward for at least 2 of those weeks.
  4. Good players mentor the young. We had none so no one learnt
  5. Yep. That’s how Jeelong have done it for 10 years. Recruit what you need and the rest is good kids who want to learn
  6. Oliver was recruited Ready To Go. I watched the same Youtube clip and just went “Yes” He HUNTS the ball, that is his job hunt the ball and give it to a team mate who is clear... That’s how to do it. You must also recruit attitude, for so long we got that so wrong
  7. It never bothered Whorethorn or Jeelong and they go after top line players every year. Whorethorn lost Franklin and became a better side and won Back to Back Premierships. By next year there will be a mid season draft, so there will be more player traffic. If anything we need to be more aggressive at Trade Time (although we have been pretty good since 2014) Top line Players are that because they win games, we have often been too precious with players and if we are to win Multiple Flags, we must trade for what we need Whorethorn style, Target the player and get the job done, Lever was done this way precisely. I was impressed because I was told of the strategy by someone close to the inside during the bye week before the finals, weeks before it was a done deal.
  8. Got to keep upgrading the list every year. If Sloane is available, then we should be on the front foot, if we don’t land him, another club will. Midfielders get injured, they are in the guts and frenzy. Sloane would be great right now as Viney is out for a long time Never think static
  9. Wow. That is fairly damming towards AFL House
  10. Bernie doing us a great service..
  11. I can. They didn’t cut it. We will be a much better team now no more one armed tackles
  12. Negative Speculation, ??what’s negative about wanting “New” Members rather than just the rusted on resilient ones?? You are troll who just enjoys repeating yourself A good little Tiger ? Supporter is the Dr. Who... god only knows why he lurks in here...
  13. This club has always been 1 step forward and 2 steps back since 1965 Last year was a classic example of it
  14. Rubbish. If we had made finals last season we would be at least 5,000 more members right now than we are today...
  15. What are you talking about?? you contradict your own figures. For the MFC after 160 years to have only 36,000 members on its books is a sad situation. IF we had made the finals in 2017 and built some momentum we would have over 40,000 members now, before the ball is bounced in 2018 but the players choked and that momentum was lost.
  16. Miss the point completely again Dr. Who but you will take no notice
  17. Yes ‘82 there is a bit of that, but Finals are the real deal
  18. Yep. That is the way we all must look at it. The MFC needs to be a part of September, it’s when real stuff happens. It’s why other clubs have 70-80,000 members, they make Finals.
  19. We deserve what we get up till now This club has delivered nothing for decades, so the should be thankfull to have at least 35,000 at this stage. IF we can climb the ladder and stay up there, i have no doubt we can have 100,000 members in 10 years. Melbourne population is exploding. We must use our name to great advantage, but the players and coaches must drive this. It’s all about on field results
  20. Cool ? They must be seriously juicy documents The AFL won’t split from ASADA. Too much money ? from the Federal Reserve would dry up. Still so much we don’t know about Essendrug... line in the sand ASADA
  21. Expat Sports Bars are the only places (and they are great) but this bullsh!t about growing the game international is a joke. It gives the AFL a chance to fly on an international junket. That is all
