  1. I've felt it's a bit unfair to label Trac a garbage kick for goal, his technique isn't the best but more often that not he'll kick a big time goal from a set shot when it's needed.
  2. Whatever happened to his Traculan twist!
  3. There's people I know getting excited and wanting to go and I'm really struggling to see the appeal. If you wouldn't normally go to see MFC play interstate, what does another 16 teams in the same city do to boost the appeal? Unless you want to watch 3 live matches in a weekend which you can do easily in Melb anyway. It's a dumb idea and I hope it gets barred to be honest.
  4. Bring it on Baby
  5. There once was a man named Luke Whose departure made us all want to puke The rumours were a distraction He was missing in action If only he was more like Touk.

    This tipping comp is becoming a professional bed sh****ng contest!
  9. Real sad, would have been great if he could have seen one more flag.
  10. We just need to do everything we can to help this league grow.
  11. You mean they are actually going ahead with this garbage?

    Is Colt Mccoy back from IR yet? They may be down to their 3rd QB if not?

    Huge win for the Jets, great effort Salah and co.
  15. We just need to get better players and try harder, that's the answer to everything.
  16. Consistent year with a bad mistake that he had to live with. We'll never know what effect it had on the group but hopefully he's well on the way to mending those bridges.
  17. Way to go Collingwood, fight the machine!
  18. It just doesn't get much better than this... Seeing it in person, that moment was almost worth the 2022 membership fees alone 😀
  19. There was likely not one week during this season when Jake was not in some kind of pain. Would have been really behind the eight ball with that foot issue pre Rd 1. Hopefully this pre season works out a lot better for him. True leader and highliy respected by his teammates.
  20. I just love that Fritta has really dialed in his set shot routine now. It wasn't that long ago when we all complained his kicking was costing us games and I'm sure there was a lot of work put into this behind the scenes with great rewards. I was critical of the selfish moments in games in the middle of the season but the airplay this got in the media and David King's BBQ nickname went over the top I thought. Solid season, often as the no.2 key target. Great job Bayley!
  21. To an extent yes. I'm starting to think though that to be a KPF in our forward line you need to have at least some level of physicality and strength. With our aim to lock it in there and have repeat stoppages, bring the ball to ground etc there would be a fair bit of grunt work required. I'm sure in time he's bulk up and add strength but he looks like he'll be more the rangey forward than anything else. According to the reports he does have great speed off the mark and marks in front very well. This comes back to the current problem of the way we move the ball through the middle and deliver into 50 to play to his strengths. Happy to back the FD on this one if they select him but do have reservations.

    Alright it seems fashionable.. Bill walks past his neighbour Tom's house one morning and notices his car in the driveway has a cracked windshield and a seriously dented bonnet. It's also extremly dirty with mud, grass and even some red looking substance all over it. Tom comes outside to say g'day. Tom: Morning neighbour! Bill: Mate, what happened to your car? It looks like you've driven through the apocalypse? Tom: Haha, yeah it's a heck of a story actually. Truth is I hit a pedestrian with my car last night on High St. Bill: My goodness Tom is everything alright? Tom: Yeah look it's going to be a bit of a job getting this all fixed. As for the person I hit, you won't believe who it was either! Jack Ginnivan from Collingwood! Bill: My goodness, I don't even know where to start with all this! Gee wiz. Hey hang on a second, that explains the damage to the car but it looks absolutely filthy as well. What's that about? Tom: Oh after the incident he tried to escape through the park.
  23. Not that it's ever an excuse and you play who you play, but copping Brisbane in that semi final really did not help us. By that point they had too much film and study acquired on us (especially with the most previous game being 2 weeks previous). It is hard enough for anyone let alone Hibberd to play on one of the league's best small forwards 3 times and come up trumps every time. I also thought Smith was labelled a bit harshly in the 21 QF, there was 1 goal that I definitely thought he erred but little else apart from that. If we take that approach with Smith then the same should be taken with Hibbo. Beaten? Yes, disgraced? No.
  24. Out of all the main KPF prospects in this draft, Jefferson is the one I've seen the least of. What I have seen suggests some clear upside with good hands overhead but he does look quite skinny. I feel we really do need someone that can hold their own in the contest and get physical when required.
