Lumumba sues AFL and Filth
eddie is a recidivist sexist, racist, misogynistic liar figjam has now shown to be someone who says one thing in private and then repeatedly lies about it in public while besmirching the qualities and character of those who are accusing him of being a liar and not much of a leader the whole thing is an ugly mess - glad we're only tangentially involved thru our current ceo (who h seemingly had a valid complaint about his behaviour when at the filth) and h's post-filth career with us, which also ended on poor terms but at least didn't seem to have anything like the sort of appalling behaviour and culture exhibited at his previous club

The Veil of Negativity is gone … forever?
mfcss always lingers at the edges... what i have thoroughly enjoyed about watching us over 2021/22 is that you can see how organised we are on-field, how well run we are off-field, and how much of a unified club we appear to be these days it's a far cry from as little as a decade ago, which goes to show that things can change quickly...hence the mfcss lurking...

2022 Free Kick Differential
for mine it's not the free kicks you get / give, it's those that are missed and inconsistency there's usually only 3-4 howlers per game where the field umpire is blindsided, and there's always going to be inconsistency when there's three different individuals interpreting split second decisions what i REALLY didn't like on the weekend just past was when one called a mark for fritsch and the non-controlling umpire overruled - rather than a shot on goal for us they rushed the ball forward and, i think, kicked a goal infuriating edit: especially when the mark for king was paid when it a) came off hunt's back and b) was clearly touched by another demon player before that

Finn Emile-Brennan
think we can safely chalk this kid up as another nga who will get away why make it picks inside the arbitrary '40'? why not just make it first and second round? whole system screams out as another afl farce

Top 7- Middle 8 - bottom 7
i don't think of it as in tiers, more so as 'who can replace' in the line-up if required to play the same in the best possible 22... it means there's lots of double-ups but it's more a case of looking at who could play a similar role in our structure may: tomlinson salem: brayshaw harmes: sparrow / dunstan petracca: harmes jackson: weideman viney: harmes / dunstan lever: j smith spargo: bedford / chandler brayshaw: jordon gawn: jackson oliver: sparrow langdon: jordon / baker bowey: rivers / hibberd jordon: baker rivers: hibberd mcdonald: weideman (weideman: m brown) hunt: hibberd anb: chandler / bedford fritsch: melksham (? - very hard role to replace) sparrow: dunstan petty: tomlinson pickett: bedford

Where does Gus play when Salem returns?
no, that's the thing - he plays where the coaching dept wants him to, and he has a premiership medal to show for it, and could have another plus an all australian selection by the end of the season with the way he's playing in 2022

Steven May on On The Couch
hopefully he's our brian lake and plays in more premierships while being the stoic defender no post-career kerfuffle tho

What They Are Saying in Lathlain
another professional win should loom 42 points

Where does Gus play when Salem returns?
wouldn't move gus away from the back flank - he's in career best form playing that role unfortunately i think that means rivers is the likely one to drop out

POSTGAME: Rd 08 vs St Kilda
may looked like he was ready to kill him and then pulled out of the contest to a greater / lesser degree

POSTGAME: Rd 08 vs St Kilda
aints came at us, trying multiple different 'styles' of footy to find a way to beat us all failed i love how organised we are the aints tried to go head 2 head against our midfield and were shown to be short of the required application and skill i see them as a bit like us in 2017, albeit quite a bit older and experienced - they should make finals in 2022 but their skills and consistency of defensive application let them down

Low Attendance
under 65k today at the g; where's the outrage from the media about the filth and the scum not turning up? 33k for peptides' big win crowds are way down i still think it'll be about 30k tomorrow; crazy that i've been at games v st kilda where we had over 50k in attendance but they'd been completely banished from my mind...primarily cos of the disaster against the filth to cost us a spot in the finals...

The top 5 MFC coaches of your lifetime
simon fabflag - went from badloss to the promised land, breaking a 57 year drought, and seems to provide a remarkably level-headed and balanced approach; the quintessential 'modern' coach swooper - broke a 23 year drought and won finals every year for five years in a row and brought a steel to a club that had been pretty spineless for a long time the reverend - up down up down up down up up up finished; never could get consistency in his group and in results, but when things were going well we were super entertaining and a team that played hard football roos is NOT the messiah - helped change the culture of the club and provided the stability we desperately needed at a time when were were the laughing stock of the competition balme - the only one of the five not to have an interesting name (balmy is the best anyone could do?) but his body language and facial responses in the box were always amusing even if his team's results weren't for the most part
