Probably like a "Your email is important to us. Here at MFC we care nothing more about winning football games and delivering happiness to all our fans. Our medical staff are some of the highest trained in the country and we have our utmost trust in their abilites, this does not mean medical decisions are 100% correct with the information at hand at any the time but we do our very best. We've also been in contact with Christian and he is doing fine. We've enjoyed a great relationship with the Petracca family in the past and will continue to do so into the future" Nothing that can be seen as wrong there, hopefully I got the job.

One of the best posts in a while. Bad luck covers a lot of things - bad luck with injuries, mismanaging training loads and tough fixtures, inaccuracy in big finals. Anyone bemoaning things like this is using the bad luck excuse which frankly is a bit pathetic after a big enough sample data size. I would agree that we have a good and strong culture, but you don't just reach a ceiling with it and stop. It is a continuous process to keep improving and getting better where you can. I don't see much to suggest much improvement or that the fire burns strong enough for another tilt at glory. Whether it's the Entrecote incident or tongue in cheek jokes at B&F nights about us being better than the premiers (The latter which some people in attendance that night took great offense when I dared to bring it up back in October) or players personal lives changing rapidly, things have definitely changed. As for the way the club presents itself, I think a lot of us felt beaten up after last year's finals series. Whether we had a leg to stand on or not it seems like we got a bit stepped on. And while we're at it, Gus did a fair bit for culture too.

Might have saved Max a tough on field conversation as well by the sound of it.

Make the game easier to umpire or let it die. It's that simple. The way I see it right now the game may not even be around in 30 years with all the head trauma issues, but they can really run it into the ground and burn it down quicker if they continue like this.

That's bizarre. Shouldn't be coming out of the cap.

Doesn't sound like all is well between the two camps right now. I'm sure it will settle though.

Maybe the invite was lost I'm the mail

If we can somehow make finals and win a final it would be beneficial. Can't give up

Yes you are entitled to it. I can see why people would think that his words don't always help. I do respect Garry though and always appreciate the brutal honesty. It doesn't always sound nice but more often that not I find that it is warranted. I prefer this to the Brad Johnson pom pom waving type that doesn't say a bad word about anything. It doesn't mean that everyone has to like it though.

I don't know, because I'm a grump and I'm tired maybe. I would like to have seen us trial it out a bit more but it didn't seem like we were ever keeping him post mid year. Hardly anyone here even wanted him in the final against Collingwood.

Agree. I thought last Monday was one of May's worst games in a while and he has escaped a bit of scrutiny. If it wasn't his utterly limp effort on Hoskin-Elliott on the stroke of half time or the brilliant contested mark in the 3rd quarter which he proceeded to handball straight into Jack Crisp a metre away and cost us a goal then it was the pointing around and arguing with others. Quite often he was getting sucked up the ground too much as well, maybe by design in the absence of Lever but it often left 2v1 situations on for someone like Rivers or Howes to deal with.

It's not a franchise sport where we gave away our key piece like a star point guard in NBA or defensive end in NFL. It might not be pleasant for some seeing him do well but what can you do? Would Max be doing as well if Brodie was still there? Got no idea, and don't want to waste time thinking about it.

Should be more laughing at them!

Pro tip: If you're one of those people that hates reading what the media writes about us, you are about to have a rough few weeks ahead..

If he is the recruit of the year then more power to the Swans. The guy is 2 x AA, more than handy. Why is it a big indictment on us?

Remember fit T-Mac and Hogan together? *sigh*

I may have told you this before but my Pies fan dad does the same thing or doesn't watch live at all but then on the following random Tuesday at midnight he'll watch the replay. It annoys me that he'll have something decent to watch at that time now haha.

Week after week this garbage just keeps getting smeared in our faces. What's the point in having these rules if they aren't enforced? You see 50m penalties given when the guy on the mark takes 1 step backwards. Honestly thought that Fisher snap was through, so badly wish it was.

50 METRES

What an awful handball

The whole of Australia is with you North

OMG why play on??? Take the 30 seconds off

North won't win it with this score. Need to find a goal

They should canter home at this rate

This will literally be like shooting fish in a barrel
