Sir Why You Little

Yep. It’s a very tall ask now look at the % differences

Certainly looking ominous

It really is incredible that Sydney have been on Top all year, but their First Quarters have been so consistently bad!! They could be out in Straight Sets this year if Teams Jump them early

Goodwin was definitely out coached after Quarter time, GW$ had loose players regularly running for space on our Home Deck. We didn’t give up, but we were still chasing the game after the first quarter. watching ex Demons play really good games is hard work

GW$ Held their marks and spread way better than we did after Quarter time. We fumbled far more than they did I have no idea how umpires interpret decisions anymore….

Am i wrong? We have been passed…

We traded away the better players…..

First Heineken just cracked

He “Broke” the story… So he wants it to happen

I have never ever been bitterly disappointed, in the slightest, when Carlscum have been beaten. Goalless in the last quarter, may it long continue….

More Rubbish Journalism Are you reading this Tom, you were still going on about Oliver this morning…. You really are a piece of work…..

I have 3-4 that i know, all in close proximity

1 degree is the alternative!!

I actually like to watch everybody else get arrested

Indeed, might have a swim before the game….☺️

Gotta win this one Home Game, the hunger factor will be the most interesting facet How much do they want it…?

He would be a fine replacement for Gus

Great

It depends who he replaces, is he an upgrade? And where other players are moved to to accommodate Houston… 1 player can make a huge difference, if they are the right choice.

Jordan should have been given time on the ground in the last quarter of the GF. If that had happened, he may have wanted to stay. Bedford deserved more game time and didn’t get it, which I found very frustrating, i don’t blame him for leaving, but he is a much better option than Laurie who plays a similar role. Schache and Fullarton are self explaining, were they the only options? I fully understand tall Players are hard to find, but how hard did we look? Are we lacking staff to find replacements? But these 2 guys have sadly been a bust, it’s not lazy to discuss that, it’s just a fact Our Drafting has been excellent, but not so Trading. I am glad somebody agrees with me about Grundy. My opinion is that if a player signs a deal for x amount of years they should have to see out 50% of that contract before they can request a trade. It’s too easy to just back out of a signed deal. Sydney are top of the ladder & Grundy has been a big part of it, I don’t blame Grundy, but the MFC got rolled over You cannot say that we have traded well over the last 3-4 years, other Clubs have won the deals

Yes, the Hawks refuse to lie down, it makes me ill, i have seen them do it 3-4 times since 1971 If they get a taste of Finals this year, they will monster teams next year

All fair points. I am not saying it’s easy, but i do expect to recruit players who are at an AFL Level and at this point in time that hasn’t been happening. Some of our fringe players you speak of are still playing for us, whilst those that have left have done very well, so the system we have is not working well at all. Now the odd player is going to slip through the net, i get that. But this has been a serious problem at the MFC since the Flag

Signing Grundy for 4 years and then giving up after 6 months. Josh Schache and Tom Fullarton as replacements billings for Jordan Letting go of Bedford…. (I was angry at the time, i knew he would become an very good player) I think our trading since the Flag has been a big F

So you accept mediocrity.

There is a fairly simple answer to this. When players leave the Club, particularly those who are still contracted. Don’t replace them with players who can’t get a Senior game and don’t extend contracts of these same players. We have traded downwards since ‘21
