whatwhat say what

yes, which is why i presume we'll be taking a first round pick to the draft in 2024

at 28 years of age? unlikely, you'd think

wow we have come a long way...

personally my ideal off-season sees us revelling in winning a premiership after winning the next 8 games in a row... i think it'll be houston OR a top 10 draft pick @Binmans PA can't see us achieving both this 2024 post-season the other names we've been linked to are cumming and angwin from gw$, both of whom have struggled with injury throughout their careers thus far, but both of who could help fill out our depth as half-back / wing types in reality tho neither are in the seem class as dan houston - i tend to be 'all in' for him as he and rivers would perfectly completely each other as half-back / midfielders in our side in 2025 we're likely to have two picks we're taking outside of the draft - an nga and a father-son pick - which will give us the forward / ruck that we want (Tairon Ah-Mu) and a tall defender (Kalani White) to add to our tall depth the fact that they'll be coming onto the list at the end of 2025 increases my keenness for tom mcdonald to play on and help bridge the gap, given that the likes of adam tomlinson and ben brown are likely to off the list at the end of this season

this draft was a ripper for us, particularly if one of more of howes, woewodin or moniz-wakefield goes on to be a regular senior player, given that the expectation of both van rooyen and mcvee is that they'll be 200+ game players unrelated to this time period, heard on the weekend that chol signed a 4 year $2-2.5m deal with dingley which is heavily front-loaded and has a trigger for a 5th year - we were never in the market for him

especially with the ball up rather than bounce in the middle it definitely suits the physical ruckmen as opposed to the lighter-framed likes of gawn

depends on whether we think we can make $$ out of it i would suspect not i do note that footscray are performing as...footscray this round

august is traditionally the month that assistant coaches are told that they're being re-contracted or not - already david teague has left the tiggas as he wants to be a 'ball movement' style coach not a forward line coach do you think we will see change to our assistant coaching ranks in 2025? as a corollary to that, how much change is too much?

agreed it's disgusting

OUT: billings, bowey IN: hore, tholstrup woey 2.0 back to the sub role

6: Oliver 5: Rivers 4: McVee 3: Viney 2: Lever 1: Langdon

i was there - it was so cold, and my friend who i go with each week and were discussing that it seems crazy that mfc vs gw$ isn't played during the day, as opposed to prime time i don't think crowd noise has anything to do with our success in fact, judging by the end of the home and away season in 2021, perhaps we thrive in silence

bitterly cold, bitterly disappointing

could be! very mfcss of you... yes, nothing much to write home about this week yes, he's a good size and moves well in / out of stoppages and has good defensive intent

lead hard, great below the knees, couldn't sit the side of a barn with his set shots

this is the exact sort of game where they should just shunt everyone into southern stand so it doesn't look so empty on the broadcast side gonna be a small crowd tonite, but we'll cheer loud when the dees win

sparrow had a quarter and a half of leather poisoning in the first hour and then a half of nothingness in the second he either doesn't have the fitness base to play full-time as a mid or he is not working hard enough for long enough...they may seem like the same thing but i personally don't think they are fullarton's clearance work was excellent, he ran hard, and he got monstered in the ruck hore and sestan the next best for the dees jefferson's set shot kicking has gone to pieces

scores level... 6.15.51 to 8.3.51

casey completely gone into their shell and allowing uw$ to control the balance of play trying to control the play too much as opposed to attacking the contest

yes big across the shoulders, and a good size - moves to the right spots to impact play and - perhaps unlike his dad - has excellent defensive effort max gruzewski has all 5 uw$ goals good key forward; bring him home mfc

2 goals 6 in the quarter to 1 goal for uw$ jeffo spraying it after the siren was poor - his set shot routine looks out of whack compared to earlier in the year dominant quarter not rewarded

jefferson reads the flight of the ball so well pack mark from the i50 kick, sprays the set shot from 40m there's a heap to like

yze is absolute class

mitch white breaks the run of points with a great goal on the move around the pack following another i50 entry from sparrow
