  1. hearsay; means nothing tom when queried on the radio has stated his allegiance is towards the story
  2. tom morris has never claimed to be an mfc man as a child? sure as a full time journalist? not any more he barracks for the STORY
  3. couldn't agree more our dyed-in-the-wool demons are incredibly loyal - but it's a very small cohort in comparison with the 'big' clubs it's why we compare / contrast with the likes of footscray and the aints NOT the filth, tigs, baggers, or peptides
  4. based on the articles in this series, we are miles behind by comparison with other clubs our rich supporters are TIGHT with their money - if a multi billionaire is our biggest donor at ONLY $1m it says how much our mega wealthy supporter base doesn’t actually put their money where their mouth is reality is that while the median mfc fan is 'wealthy', the fact that it’s old money and a small supporter base means that there are few genuinely big hitters and, by dint of that demographic, when they do spend their money it's not on a football club - it's on the climate initiatives, medical research, etc. and less so even on art or education, let alone sport
  5. far superior kick yet to win a premiership. 2x aflca awards, 4x b&fs...
  6. dingley are really good, and really good to watch very annoying
  7. i thought it was peter that denied the messiah three times?
  8. tbh i'm surprised so many of our games are fta broadcast i thought we'd be sent to the naughty corner of eras gone by, where every game was sunday at 1.10pm not the fta 3.20pm slot
  9. was always there every mcg tenant has to play there cos the afl needs to fulfil the quota (that they imposed, cos it's their ground)
  10. the point is often missed that not only is gawn the best ruckmen in the game, but he's also one of the better midfielders he runs around the ground collecting marks and possessions seemingly at will
  11. interesting that mcvee is only looking at a short-term deal
  12. there's no reason to think that gawn won't play for as long as goldstein they're both aerobic beasts, which is part of the reason that they're so, so good in their dotage
  13. northern franchise academies will never die
  14. Takes the riskier kick and gets more of it Raw #s only tell part of the story I’d like him at the Dees but think it’s unlikely
  15. bergman is like rivers but a far, far superior kick we are just one of a myriad of melbourne-based teams 'keeping tabs' on him according to tombstone; aints have been in the market for a long time
  16. flagmantle supporters - dogga is worth more than pickett! mfc supporters - pickett is worth more than dogga! non-involved parties - who cares, just pass the popcorn and put peter bell on trade radio
  17. prior to covid, my son was at prahran, a few years above oliver oliver was so blonde his hair was almost a shock of white - made spotting him zipping around in the 'zones' winning his own footy when he was playing 'up' age groups very easy to see
  18. I mean, it’s inevitable If Kalani nominated us, then the twins wouldn’t be joining the gc17 academy as they’ll be earmarked to join MFC
  19. What I think is informative is that they have NOT joined the gc17 academy I am hoping it’s because they expect to be residing in Melbourne in the next 15-20 or so years…
  20. Paul Roos and Flagmantle supporter and host Poppy Penny - great name! - talked about this on abc afl daily He proffered straight swap as easy solution and she, unsurprisingly, thought this was unfair for the shockers
  21. mcvee out of contract as a western oztrayan and rivers someone who wants to be a mid...
  22. Now the q is for what?
  23. ugle-hagan isn't coming to us
