whatwhat say what

mabior chol, you mean? if he makes our afl side's forward 5 in 2024 then we're either bit by the injury bug, again, or we're destined for somewhere between 5-10 on the ladder

clearly touched; non-story

our entire game plan is built around our defensive structure, which is based upon smart decision makers down back - may, lever, petty (although he may move forward permanently, replaced by disco turner), salem, mcvee, rivers, bowey while i think there's merit in the latter two moving into the midfield, who is replacing them? it's hard enough when you pull one jenga piece - e.g. petty - out, let alone one or two more

we're in the 'win now' phase of our current list build; the notion of trading salem or langdon is absurd we don't need to replace our experienced players - particularly those like salem who are theoretically our most skilled players by foot - with speculative draft picks

damn, missed the cut off... would have gone 6: hanks 5: hore 4: pearce 3: gay 2: mithen 1: mcnamara

he's as slow and as poor a decision maker as tomlinson having watched may gesticulate madly about tommo's positioning to tommo on friday night we'd be sending steven to an early retirement if we picked up dougal

presuming yze gets the tigs job, dew would be a good replacement we definitely need a change to bring in new voices and ideas - yze and stafford have been part of the set-up since preseason 2021 while chaplin has been at the club in various roles since 2016 time for a refresh

front page of big footy:

it's amazing that jesse hogan is about to be 29 at the start of next season it feels like just yesterday i was putting all my hopes and dreams into his 16 year old self

maggots getting the pear back into it

charlie dixon has a brand new tattoo gross

toby bedford running into an open goal with jesse hogan free in the square...misses mfcss writ large right thurrr

think it was the even dumber one, andrew

inaccuracy plaguing us clearly an mfc wide issue

no it'll be 22 which will become about 27 or so, so effectively what we 'paid' the filth for him

and unfortunately not what we need we're in the 'win now' phase of our current list make-up bringing in five 17-19 year olds isn't going to help we need one or hopefully two elite pointy end picks, not five speculative ones - look at the tigs who had a similar number recently in a draft, and not one of them has become a regular best part of their best 26 squad in three years

Unfortunately the team we most resemble is pear under choco - good enough for top 4 in home and away but found wanting in finals and a regular choker

a clean bill of health and a bit of luck wouldn't go astray

was playing on nick riewoldt at 19 he's been a warrior but his body is shot

6: may 5: gawn 4: spargo 3: anb 2: lever 1: smith notice who is missing? petracca, viney, oliver - our entire starting on-ball contingent

would rival some others as one of the worst kicks in our side no

absolutely mind boggling not to use a sub when plugger mac looked like he was running in treacle

absolutely rubbish to say supporters are 'happy' with that the vitriol and bile on here is proof positive of that

given the expectation is that petty will have to play forward in 2024 to give us a semblance of a forward target, what will the defensive structure look like? do you expect rivers to move into the midfield to provide some drives with legs away from the contest? how do we combat our lack of speed on the spread? why do we continue to do this to ourselves? thankyou @Demonland @binman and @george_on_the_outer for everything you've done for the aflm season - onto bigger things with the aflw

well, that managed to both suck and blow simultaneously
