Will miss the first half most likely, seeing a few open for inspections. Hope we put up a fight though, Go Dees.

You won't be proved wrong and you know it.

I do not believe we will win today but I do think we'll put up a fight. Hope to swing some magnets around. GC by 14

Why do people who choose to sit in the front row get annoyed at players who topple over the fence and knock their drink out of their hand? It's one of the more stupid reactions by the human race you're likely to see.

Tearing the house down

Bury those cockroaches.

Get out the paperwork

Keep calm And trade up

Bag a hatful Weid!

I know why it's happening but I can't say anything.

Bring it on baby, let's see how much we can break this place.

Better kicks and ball users is the first need to address. But gee it wouldn't be bad to have some leg speed out of the contest and ability to spread as well.

You couldn't write a better soap opera. Unbelievable.

Agree, it's a massive loss to our traditional structure. Quite often at the ground during a game I'll focus only on 1 player and Nibbler is probably the guy I do this most with. His up and down running and helping to set defensive structure and the angles he runs is an ability unmatched by anyone on the list, incredibly difficult to replace Personally I see this as a catalyst to continue tinkering with the game style. We need more good distributors off half-back and more speed through the middle. We've started the process on this and while it hasn't been a smash hit we just need to do it better.

Houston, we've got 99 problems..

Class player who is maybe past his prime but still plenty of value to offer, would fit nicely. PS: Only here would we argue over whether he's better or worse than the players that want to leave MFC as opposed to whether he could help MFC.

Yeah something died that night. Obviously when you love the game and the club a big drop off can still make you appear to be a keen fan of the sport to others, but I've totally backed off this year. Barely watch more than one game a week, no footy media, few footy conversations. There's just a limit to how much I can take of this organisation now and plenty more that life has to offer. I've never had it in for Maynard but my beef is completely with the AFL. To not only fail to uphold the rules they created for severe and careless concussion, but to tick off the defense that Brayshaw could have deviated his running path and was thus responsible for his own concussion and retirement?? I rarely go the dogmatic approach on these things but this organisation appears to be fraudulent and has no interest in doing anything about head trauma and ongoing effects. My partner's father who played for the Dogs in the early 70s currently suffers from head trauma symptoms and insomnia. He's mates with Mark McClure who the HS reported a few days ago as suffering from early onset dementia. I want people involved in the game to actually start giving a damn about the remainder of life stuff. As for the thickwit Collingwood and other footy fans who were worried that the game they love where the big men fly and KO each other, would you like to look your son/daughter/grand kids in the eye and suffer from conditions like this? The game doesn't have 50 years left it, hell it doesn't have 30 years left at this rate. Moment in time..

We need to be nicer to each other, this stuff is tearing us apart.

Brodie was excellent in that 22 season in a midfield that often had Mundy coming up to help at stoppages. But apart from having a good clearance game there isn't that much else that stands out. I don't think he has much of a petrol tank and he aint quick, just a nice extractor to get it out to the other guys that we badly need. O'Meara has basically taken his spot. If we could get him for a bag of chips as depth then sure, he could be very useful but I wouldn't see him cracking in to be a regular in our midfield.

"He said to me and the playing group, if he could pick the Melbourne footy club up and place it in Adelaide he would be playing in the red and blue still." Really says all you need to know about the guy.

Well played on the thread title Nascent 😀

Looked great in print.

Yes please. Pace to burn

Maybe Tommo? That's about it though yeah.
