whatwhat say what

those last three are horrific that's our three main targets forward of the ball and they are all significantly down on last year based on this modelling

to be honest, it's exactly what you want to see anyone can beat anyone, with the exception it would seem of north

i think it was this week that i heard a description that most coaches affect the role of 'disappointed dad' rather than 'screaming and abusive' these days

i see max as like goldstein - he can play on for a long, long time yet

if his choices are between us, crom, and the filth, he'd be lookin at the latter two over us

good for football

the drop off is extraordinary for some players

well last week was a disaster tips-wise, so let's go with: crom footscray? gw$? meth coke gc17? bloods baggers? them? my faith in us has wavered and i think filth's ground ball game and pressure will be too much for us hope i'm wrong but

east timorese origins, which is how he qualified for our nga

he's not young anymore - he turns 25 this upcoming off-season and should be entering the peak of his football powers i agree that we lack experience forward, particularly with anb playing so much more thru the midfield in 2024

question for the next pod before we win / lose to the filth on monday - would our premiership chances be better off in the long-run if we DON'T make finals in 2024?

weren't there two clubs - from memory, hawthorn and the peptides? - who were sniffing around spargo as recently as last year? small pressure forwards with good footskills are quite valuable

or, you could argue, the least compromised for quite some time - everyone played each other once!

he's not been the same since he hurt his knee against i think port

i had no idea about that how absurd

how'd you get 2a?!?? i was feeling lucky i got level m, not q normally i rock up to the g, scan in gate 6, make me way to 2a with a "i know where i'm going vibe", but this is one of the few games were i sit in an assigned seat

pretty pretty pretty good

he doesn't have the pace nor the workrate at 24 he should be entering the peak of his midfield powers instead, he looks headed for the vfl with his lack of effort

the thing is, @picket fence, that's not what people are calling you up on - you are denigrating the 2021 premiership by looking at 2024 i don't think we're a chance to win the premiership in 2024 personally, but that has nothing to do with 2021 saying we fluked a premiership? stupid comment

his fitness base to power out of the contest is clearly not there and it won't return during this season he needs a big off-season to return to the best he can be in 2025

perfect bye content; worth revisiting post king's birthday i reckon in football, just as in life, things are never as bad or as good as they may seem but this is an appalling comment imo agree with the first bit, but to say he's 'destroyed the club'? shocking thing to say

me too and within two years there's going to be many more players on $1m plus a year, with the salary cap set to rise exponentially

plus brayshaw, regardless of what element holds over in the cap or not that should be at least $2m of cap space

i would say... IN (the best 23): van Rooyen, McVee, Windsor also IN: Hunter, Billings, Howes, Jefferson, McAdam, Fullarton, Tholstrup, Woewodin the biggest issue is that all the players we have picked up from other clubs have been nqr; our recruiting via the draft has been sound of those you noted as out, only hibberd, jackson, gus were in our best 23

personally i would doubt buckley is as keen as an observer of the mfc as anyone on this message board he's just a commentator whose focus is on 18 clubs, and as everyone is well aware with a particular bent towards the black and white variety
