    Hilarious. Brown is more of an impact player. A 10 possession average at VFL is not worthy of a full AFL game. 
     

    Whilst you have some good posts, your emotional anger shines thru a lot 

    How much “impact” is a first gamer going to have. He has never been out there. 
    Another Alien selection from the MFC

    Unpopular opinion but if a loss to North means we change the way we play then I want a loss. I watched the last 1/4 or so of Pies v North last week. Pies had Hill one out in the goal square and kicked it low and direct to him. Hill is a difficult match up, so is Fritsch but how we use him differently to how the Pies would. Also if the Pies are deep in the pocket they centre the ball, hardly groundbreaking stuff.We’re getting smashed everywhere currently but it’s alright because we finished top 4 the last 3 years. If a loss means that whatever is going on at the club brings about the changes needed then I want a loss. The last 4 weeks has been unacceptable but apparently we’re allowed to use injuries as an excuse. We’re becoming hard to watch, I’d rather lose trying to play a fast exciting brand of footy that allows us to kick a winning score than continue doing what we currently are.

    First 10 minutes will tell most of the story

    Business transaction.

    Taking into account his past history, there would need to be certain criteria written into any contract. 
    nothing wrong with being diligent

    However, the reverse of say 5.11 was a not uncommon scoring dynamic for the Blues in the last few seasons. Accuracy has definitely improved this season! The Blues have worked very hard on their forward set-up, collectively and individually. Simon Goodwin, take notes!

    Forward setup? What’s that

    He can kick goals, he would be an asset to our forward line, at the right price 

    He may help the MFC to win a Flag. We should be heavily enquiring into this as a Business transaction. 

    What’s so hilarious @drysdale demon?

    Interesting you mention the transactional basis. Not to be too angsty and re-open suppurating wounds but if this were true: Grundy would have been played in the finals (were it true that he was dropped as he’d walked the plank, so to speak). Arrrrrrr, time for a rum

    Yes. He should have been picked in my opinion. He was a paid employee of the MFC

    Posted the below in the wrong thread:

    Sorry but I wouldn’t touch him. Don’t care how good he has been recently, someone who is openly selling his soul to the highest bidder (if I’m not mistaken) cannot be good for our club, particularly our “culture”. I mean, the cats made him, he played in a premiership, and yet he wants to leave? Doesn’t sound like a teammate I could rely on to me. Some parallels to us and LJ, but LJ was just a babe, Stengel is 3 years older and knows what he is doing. It’s a big pass for me.

    He can kick goals, he would be an asset to our forward line, at the right price

    Gerard Whately has always really gotten under my skin. People praise his intelligence, but in reality he's a conniver - he has no actual understanding or training in the topics he comments on, and yet has opinions that he tries to convince others are the only logical ones.

    Yes there really are 2 Sides to Whateley. 
    He is a brilliant Commentator on Radio, but his editorials every morning at 9am can be very divisive 

    Although i do agree with him when he gets stuck into The ARC Score Review

    It is a tough industry and comparing yourself to Geelong might be a waste of time. Not every basketballer is Michael Jordan. Not every footballer is Gary Ablett. Doesn’t mean they aren’t professional and working to high standards. But you are starting to differentiate between culture and high performance. You can have great culture while working on your high performance and your recruiting. Recruiting is largely luck too. Who’s available and when might not always suit your needs and stamping your feet saying we didn’t get what we need doesn’t help or change the fact that it’s a lot of luck. 

    I don’t dispute anything you say. But as far as the Media are concerned, and that is where “Culture” is discussed mostly

    It’s all about Winning at the Pointy end of the Season. 
    If Culture meant anything else then Meth Coke would have been dissolved in 2007

    That seems simplistic to me. You can maintain high standards across all areas and it may not lead to on field success. What if you just don’t have the players you need? Your list and the injuries you get along the way are in large part due to luck.  It almost feels like you are setting yourself disappointed with unrealistic standards.

     

     

    No. That just means your standards and recruitment has a lot of improvement to go. It’s a Tough Industry 

    To be successful you have to demand the best

    Just came across this: 10 dodgy decisions this year, apart from the 3 in the E Coli Wobbler :

    Leigh Matthews and J. Bartel: 

     

    The Situation is getting worse. The AFL need to strip back a lot of grey rules. 
    reduce the interchange rotation to 30-40 a game

    i cannot stand incorrect disposal being called play on

    These suits have bastardised the game while being paid $millions

    Enough
